FMD. One hour from touchdown to hotel. That is quick.
Welcome home.

18:30 exactly at the hotel.

Have a very safe trip.

Stomachache troubles only men after consuming hot Aji chillies hastens emissions.

I have a packet of Japanese curry sauce in the cupboard and I was wondering what to do with it.

Over chips. A fine idea.

On a more serious note, we Brits have always found Americans' love affair with guns a bit curious. Nearly 40,000 Americans die from gunshots every year in the United States. A shocking waste of life,...

Maybe it was just a spelling mistake? They meant the right to bare arms.

He is not a detail person and he is not a good listener. He has access to good legal advice but he probably still thinks he is all powerful. He should be worroed.

I am guessing rosemary? Something else on the side that might be different. Dil?

Omniverous means naturally ingesting various organisms, roots or ubiquitous shoots.

One thing that fascinates me about this apparently unhinged leader is the way that he has kept the Trump narrative alive so close to the end of his presidency. Normally you'd expect to be reading...

Dingo is not generally orthochoanitic?

What are the rules here? Go with ingestible or wait for an 'o'?

All looks excellent. Definitely made me feel hungry.

A padded cell would be my preference.

Upon closer inspection, that looks like one footprint, on the line of the fence. Maybe a very tall cyclist with a very long stride.

You could use your last few days to experiment.

:)

Since the tracks are in and out of a bicycle park it doesn't seem useful to enquire further. Although the lack of footprints is intriguing ...

Much of US political structure is a mystery to me. One thing I learned from that video is that while the National Guard in every state can be called out by the governor, the National Guard in D.C....

Firstly, I do hope your final week and then travel all go to plan.

Secondly, isn't that track a bit close to the fence to be a bicycle. Not that I have any better suggestions. Best call in the TD...

You are perfectly correct and I was wrong to be so broad brush about it. When I first learned Chinese the teachers said 'yang' was the Chinese word for both sheep and goat and I never heard any...

Snacks neatly avoid culinary kitchen skills.

In Asia there is little distinction, generally speaking. Chinese only has one word which includes both.

Western culture is a bit different. If I remember correctly from my schooldays there is a...

Thailand to get 2 million shots of China’s SinovacThailand will get its first lot of Covid-19 vaccines from China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd next month, allowing the country in the middle of a ...

Interesting picture, Jeff.

That looks like a photo of something specific. Not the ugly looking little chap with a sort of uniform in the front - although I wonder what he might have been.

Indeed. Remember that recent Thai story when three men died trying to fix a well?

Looper: Any updates?

An interesting story that I had never heard before.

Goddess of discord, Discordia, easily sows strife.

Research experiments showed eating Armenian radishes causes hallucinations.

Warner’s girlfriend had reportedly warned police more than a year ago that the 63-year-old was building bombs in a recreational vehicle outside his house.

You might think the forces of law and...

Just catching up on your thread. You've had a busy week and it seems like everything is coming together.

Miss France might not be seeking any advice but in case she asks, confronting a burglar...

Great thread and great result. Well done and happy new year JPPR2.

There used to be a London expression along the lines of "If you want to know the time, ask a policeman." This was a thinly veiled reference to the fact that police were called to dead bodies found,...

I went to the bathroom and this not so little chap popped out from behind the toilet.
Having grown up in England where no native spiders bite, they never held any fear for me. Here in...

Interesting statistics in there. I see the UK 'excess deaths' stands at 80,573. That is a big number.

I also see that this puts the UK ahead of the US for excess deaths per million people. Of...

As a result, gold exports jumped to 237.4 metric tons during January-October, compared with 170 tons for all of 2019, official data show.

Awkwardness weighed keenly when anal rogering disappointed not entirely strait-laced slapper.

Maybe. To me, they don't really look like hanging birds, they seem to be walking, on the ceiling.

They are striking when they fly, they have orange and black hindwings, not visible when...

I have been to the T21 branch a couple of times. The dim sum generally are very good, I can't offhand think of anywhere in Bangkok where I have had more authentic HK food.

So the vaccination will create a longer lasting immunity than prior infection?
(Probably I could look this stuff up somewhere, but since vaccination for me seems to be far off I haven't searched the...

I saw the pics on the BBC, amazingly well-preserved. Does anyone care to speculate: Why are the ducks upside down?
Is it possible my Thai builder was on that job?

As a matter of interest, if you already have antibodies from an earlier infection, is there any risk of heightened side-effects from a vaccination?

My son in UK, now 30-something, was very unwell...

Merry Christmas Mendip. May all your negotiations lead to a mutually satisfying contract.
Remember, there is no need to plan for 'no deal' because you're going to get a great deal.

I think it's a word I have never used. That's the only reason I looked it up.

Completely agree. Unnecessary plastic. I think the worst are on apples where they are sometimes so perfectly stuck that it takes a knife to remove them.

This sounds like something that is so because the Internet says it is so. There is a long history of inventing collective nouns for animals in English. I can imagine a couple of undergraduates with...

(My dictionary wants sacrilegiousness.)

Sacrilegiousness apparently connotes respect is lacking, even gentlemen ignore others' unpalatable sensitivities nowadays, except sugary speakers.

The two planets will still be close together for a while in the same part of the sky about the same time, although steadily diverging.

It wasn't as dramatic as I had expected, however the two...

The Isan gf has no idea. She says she has never seen it. Quite possibly it is a spelling error, as Tax suggests.

Wow. Happy ending.

Except for having a wallet full of useless credit cards.

Sorry, missed that.
