It's reasonable to mention this as it's not clear whether this sad parting is amicable or not.

Good luck mitm.

The Lenovo Livepro L75 earbuds I bought on Shopee were around 25pct price of the real thing on AliExpress and sound fine. Excellent battery life (both case and buds) which is one of the main ways I judge many types of electronic knockoff goods. Sound quite reasonable, could never say it's tinny; now...

Mountainhead (2025). Satire/Comedy drama. Watched it because I like Steve Carell. An interesting take on AI deepfakes causing world chaos and the (humourously exaggerated) power those in control of tech have. But essentially it's just 4 guys in a house talking for the duration. If you can stomach 1...

I saw the holiday yesterday (Monday) described in my phone calendar as a 'bridge holiday'. I guess as the Queen's birthday holiday is only one day, but the Monday was granted as a holiday to bridge the weekend and the actual day. Never noticed that description before, but I'm not particularly observ...

They say it's probably safe to keep orbiting for a while, but if it starts flashing or stays on we might need to call someone.

As far as I remember, the derogatory term LBH started amongst high-powered HK expats long ago, possibly in the banking industry. After that I think it was even in use in Dubai over 10 years ago when I was there (in the early/mid-2000s the number of British chancers turning up looking for any type of...

Wolf Man (2025). Enjoyable little creature-feature this one, I was pleasantly surprised. Directed by Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man, Upgrade) it's nothing intelligent... does what it says on the tin. Nice and gory in bits. :D https://yts.mx/movies/wolf-man-2025 Thanks, I was waiting for this one...

On the topic in general (compulsory helmet wearing) I still believe that nannyism like this is unacceptable. Even for pillion passengers, it's their choice to ride or not if a helmet isn't provided. No-one picked me up on being totally wrong about this. The biggest reason for enforcing personal saf...

Nice, if only! And I could spray some on the wife for the nights I'm less keen than her.

https://www.nationthailand.com/life/entertainment/40050694 Physically she seems quite nice, I know the competition is supposed to be about more than that. Does she fit the frame of a 'traditional Thai beauty'? I see far more lovely and interesting Thai faces daily than the internationally accepted m...

Four 15cm sausage rolls weighing in at a hefty 225g each, ready to be cut into 16 man-sized bite ones if required (I use eight of the Makro flaky pastry strips, four rolled at the same time). I make kilos of the meat mixture in bulk and freeze it in 500g parcels, so it's very quick to knock these up...

The current outbreak was reported to be mild but fast-spreading, not sure if that's still the info. On that basis I'm not interested in a jab, but my real interest is in knowing how many actually had more than the initial two jabs years ago? I held off until I could get two Astrozenicas and then did...

I also know a few that have spent a night in the cells as a result. BB, you either have a very wide circle of acquaintances, or you associate mainly with drink/drivers! I have taken the odd chance after a couple of large beers (I used to never even worry about it in years past), but I only know one...

On a 12-step program I imagine. Utter nonsense.
