    Some great advice in this thread. Always carried the passport copy + the hotel card with it, but didn't think about the insurance details

    Any helmet is better than no helmet especially at low speed. You may still get concussion if you hit the deck, but far less likely to get your skull stove in when you hit the immovable object.

    Same-Sex Sellout in Ireland

    http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/11/27/same-sex-sellout-in-ireland/

    by Aidan O'Brien

    Dublin.

    On Tuesday, November 17, Cormac Gollogly married Richard Dowling in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. This was Ireland’s first gay wedding. It followed the May 22 referendum that constitutionalised same-sex marriage in Ireland. What appears humane however is tinged with corruption. The fact is that the opportunism and venality that made Ireland infamous during the financial bubble a decade ago has been sublimated and now manifests itself in gay pride. In other words Ireland’s new found love affair with homosexuality has nothing to do with human rights and everything to do with homo-capitalism.

    and a book review

    Chronicle of Sex Reassignment Surgery: Juliet Jacques’s “Trans: a Memoir”

    http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/11/27/chronicle-of-sex-reassignment-surgery-juliet-jacquess-trans-a-memoir/

    There’s something downright depressing about Juliet Jacques’s account of her transition from male to female, because Jacques himself is depressed, at least when he’s still a male. And, still, Jacques’s Trans is also transformative, exhilarating, uplifting. It’s the mixture of the two that will have you riveted to the story much of the time, not because it is voyeuristic (it is not) but, rather, because another human being has acted courageously, written about it so that others may be informed, and mostly come out the other side of the operation into a better world than he knew before. ...

    I loved going there and spent a fair bit of money on "stuff" as well as saving a lot on "stuff". Similar to the place in Singapore (can't remember it's name), and there was/is one in Taipei too. All multiple floors of amazing electronics & parts of all kinds If you can't find it in either three places it probably hasn't been invented yet.

    "so how did you feel and react?"

    That it is almost a compliment, that I must be close to doing something right. As others have noted you get zero "respect" from them if you splash out, and you are almost taken for a fool is only good for the money.

    It's MY money and MY holidays and as such I'll play it my way, being fair but not extravagant.

    If on the other hand your a wealthy well paid guy and you want to splash it around on YOUR holiday, and that makes you feel good, then good on you. As always "up to you"! :drinks:

    The new "Thunderbirds are go" with "International rescue" and the guy who does the Parker voice over is the SAME guy that did it years back (he's in his late 80's). Many of the animations by "Weta Digital" the NZ firm that did much of "Lord of the Rings" amoungst other movies

    The main difference is that you can't see the wires anymore. Jerry & Sylvia Anderson, way ahead of their time.

    It's like being a kid all over again. What's not to like. Compulsory Sunday night viewing.

    Answer is 90, Seeing as it is some kind of series

    how I got it was that each number is multiplied by adding 1 to

    the number and then multiplying by that number you just added 1 to.

    9 + 1 = 10 x 9 = 90

    Protesting is one thing, many of these police are racist scum, but then the protestors wreck their own cause by trashing shops, police and other peoples property. Chicken and egg I guess.

    Working people don't have time for wrecking.
