  1. So I was out this last Tuesday evening having been away working for a while, yippee!

    I see that the great clear out of the junk Chinese plastic toy sellers has dissipated to the extent that dildos and vibrating things once again form a large part of the available merchandise on lower Sukhumvit of an evening.

    Seems its taken them a shorter time to recover than usual. I guess a bill got paid. Or maybe someone got moved 🤔

    I had to re read that comment a few times before I got it. The word “Top”

    I understand now what Flash is inferring, “Top” as in position held not as in Manchester or Irish “Top” meaning “The Best”, we can have a “Top Man” a “Top Tune” ( a Top Top Tune is better than. Top Tune but not as good as a Top Top Top Tune)

    Irish “Top of the Morning to ya” means I wish you the best day 

    There is another usage of the word “Top” but the Image of Hillary wearing a Strap-On is too sick even for I to contemplate.

    Only post worthy of the USA thread in eons!

    Baptiste [2019 TV series]
    The detective from The Missing series, Julien Baptiste, on holiday in Amsterdam with his wife, assists in an investigation for his former girlfriend, the Amsterdam Chief of Police. More of the same, entertaining stuff.

    I watched this on iPlayer and downloaded the 2 series of The Missing. Both very much enjoyed. I enjoyed the Eurocentricalities (?) of the themes and how they played out, even the use of subtitles rather than insisting on English dialogue all the time. The Iraq bit in the the second series of The Missing though was though a bit over the top I thought.

     

  4. It could be the same WiFi as your PC is connected to but then again maybe not, quite, precisely. If the new router is dual band, and I'd say it's quite likely your wizzbang phone is most likely dual band even with identical SSID names the two wireless bits could/might/maybe have different passwords.

    Get into the Settings/WiFi section and wait until it shows a list of all the routers it can see then be sure to choose precisely the same one as the PC. If you are on the same SSID and the same band 2.4GHz vs 5GHz then the password has to be the same.

    Could it be that what you think the password is on the PC is actually different in reality. Try disconnecting, forgetting the connection and then re-connecting so you have to enter your password again to be sure you have it right.

    Mistake

    Aha, more erudite wisdom, and I was perhaps a bit tongue in cheek with my comment. I would agree women of a certain age can indeed offer an exemplary performance when compared with some of their younger sisters. I'm not at 47 yet though, mid 30's through to early 40's is my preferred field of operations and I don't doubt they improve further. I still like a respectable 10-15 year gap though but I'm sure I will get there.

  6. This is true, I believe some 70 of the original several hundred remain in service however they are massively modified and probably unrecognisable other than the exterior. Certainly the airframe has lasted well. It seems in the case of the B-52 you have to think about what the need for such an aircraft truly is, certainly it's mission has changed dramatically since inception. Plenty of other older aircraft in service but lots of much much newer ones as well.

     

  7. An AU23 Peacemaker crashed down south Tuesday afternoon

    That these planes are flying on active service with an air farce that has probably one of largest numbers of senior ranks says something. The thing is 47 years old, I don;t sleep with women that old!

    It fits  though with what I have seen on visits to active sites here where equipment typically averages 40-50 years old and in some cases older, the 66 year old beacon at one site being a case in point. Though some equipment gets upgraded from time to time it's usually on a cheap scrag end budget leftover. So much of the military, the air farce in particular, is totally crippled with nothing more than a hobbled museum of hardware. Whatever the military budget might be its utterly wasted.

     

  8. No doubt so much of that sort of childish playground tormenting was done without any thought or consideration, like you said, really mean. It's interesting that people use language without any real thought for where it comes from, its origin and background.

    Pussy is a good one. Hands up all those who simply view calling someone a pussy as referencing them to female genitalia when in fact the word is Pusi and is a simple shortening of the word pusillanimous. It's really okay to call someone pusi if they fit the meaning.
