    so I say yes.

    We have a winner!

    John Tyler was born in 1790 and had 15 children (the record for a US president). One of those 15 children, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born in 1853 when Tyler was 63. Just like his father, Lyon Gardiner Tyler would go on to have children into his twilight years, and in 1928, at the age of 75, he sired Harrison Ruffin Tyler.

    In spanning the years 1790 to 2023, these three men have witnessed nearly the whole of United States history.

    If he was 30 years old when he was elected and had his last child at the age of 70, then the child would be born in 1881. 
    If this son had a son at the age of 70, the son would have been born in 1951 and he woul be now 73 years old.
    So it seems possible but I don't believe it.  I guess no. 

    John Tyler was born in 1790.

    Please comment on which one you prefer and why.

    First up the Thailand lbs - which was held in Pattaya.

    Next up are the Filipina lbs. Tondo is a district in Manila.

    I prefer the Thais.  Some of the Filipinas appear a bit chunky and don't seem comfortable walking in heels.

    I suspect, but don't really know, that this is not a fair comparison of Thais vs Filipinas.  It looks like the Thais are the cream of the crop top models while the Filipinas are whoever chose to enter the contest.

    Edit: Reading your second post, I see these are not Miss Tiffany girls.  But it still seems as if the Pattaya show's sponsors were quite choosy regarding standards of beauty.

    RIP Iain :(

    Iain (Poesface) was definitely one of the good guys.  His original Why Not, a bit past Asoke, was an extremely welcome addition to Bangkok ladyboys scene as was the move to the bigger space on Soi Nana.  RIP

  5. Sandra Day O'Connor, who died Friday at the age of 93, found herself in the spotlight for a more lighthearted reason − a comical interaction with an intoxicated NFL running back at a black-tie event in Washington.

    As the oft-told story goes, O'Connor and Washington's star running back, John Riggins, were guests of People magazine at the annual "Salute to Congress" event on January 30, 1985. 

    In NFL Network’s A Football Life: John Riggins, Riggins recalled that he had been drinking beers with a friend most of the afternoon, ordered a double scotch upon his arrival at the event, and then opted to pass on dinner.  Riggins proceeded to knock over two bottles of red wine at their table. And somewhere along the way came the now-famous interaction with O'Connor.

    "Come on Sandy, baby, loosen up," Riggins, who is now 74, told her. "You're too tight."

  7. Bars and clubs in Pattaya are set to celebrate the New Year with extended operating hours until 6 AM on January 1st, 2024, following the recent decision of the Thai Cabinet.

    On Tuesday, November 28th, the Thai Cabinet officially approved the extension of the operating hours for entertainment establishments located in Bangkok, Phuket, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui, aiming to stimulate tourism and the economy.

    As of press time, Pattaya City officials had not made a final decision where the extended operating hours would apply to or if the extended New Year’s hours would only be certain zones and areas, such as Walking Street, versus the entire city.

    You made it to 100, you warmonger.

    One night in December 1970, Nixon called his national security adviser in a rage about Cambodia. “I want the helicopter ships. I want everything that can fly to go in and crack the hell out of them,” he barked at Kissinger, according to a transcript. “I want gunships in there. That means armed helicopters. … I want it done! Get them off their ass. … I want them to hit everything.”

    Five minutes later, Kissinger was on the phone with Gen. Alexander Haig, his military aide, relaying the command for a relentless assault on Cambodia. “It’s an order, it’s to be done. Anything that flies on anything that moves. You got that?”

    Two years earlier, Nixon had won the White House promising to end America’s war in Vietnam, but instead expanded the conflict into neighboring Cambodia. Fearing public backlash and believing that Congress would never approve an attack on a neutral country, Kissinger and Haig began planning — a month after Nixon took office — an operation that was kept secret from the American people, Congress, and even top Pentagon officials via a conspiracy of cover stories, coded messages, and a dual bookkeeping system that logged airstrikes in Cambodia as occurring in South Vietnam. 

    Kissinger, who went on to serve as secretary of state in the Nixon and Gerald Ford administrations, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.

  9. Pattaya police intensified checks on short-stay hotels on Loy Krathong night to prevent teenagers from engaging in sexual activities. The operation is a common practice during the Loy Krathong festival, where teens usually hang out after the event and are prone to inappropriate sexual behavior, said Pattaya police.

    The operation, ordered by Banglamung district chief Mr. Pisit Sawasdinukul and Pattaya police chief Pol. Col. Thanapong Pothitthi, took place at 10:00 PM on November 27th, with an aim to specifically inspect “love hotels” in Pattaya to warn hotel operators of allowing minors to use their venues to engage in sexual activities.

    According to Pol. Col. Thanapong, the Pattaya police recognized the increased likelihood of teenagers engaging in inappropriate behavior during the Loy Krathong event. He stated that some teens may opt to hang out after releasing their flowery floats or participating in alcohol-drinking gatherings. Consequently, this behavior could impair their judgment and self-control and pose a risk of unprotected sex that leads to unwanted pregnancies.

    Pol. Col. Thanapong went on to say that short-stay hotels are considered high-risk locations, as they often operate with minimal oversight and can provide a breeding ground for illicit activities.

    In response to these concerns, Pattaya law enforcement officials are working closely with hotel operators to verify the identification of individuals entering their establishments. Visitors must be at least 20 years old, and if minors or suspicious behavior are detected, hotel staff are instructed to report immediately to law enforcement.

  10. A distraught South Korean man went on a rampage yesterday by discarding 100,000 baht banknotes and trying to leap from the eighth floor of a Pattaya condominium after losing money to a Thai girlfriend.


    Officers from Muang Pattaya Police Station rushed to the condominium on Soi Bua Khao in Pattaya after residents reported a foreign man on a rampage. The man reportedly had a knife in his hand and was shouting that he would take his own life by jumping off the balcony.

    When officers arrived at the scene they found the South Korean man, later identified as 41 year old Seungwon Jeong, standing on the balcony of his room on the eighth floor. He was pacing the balcony with a knife in his hand.


    Seungwon made a loud noise and then launched over 100,000 baht Thai banknotes from the balcony. He walked around the balcony for about an hour brandishing a knife before disappearing into his room.

    Seungwon informed officers, through the interpreter, that he had been in Pattaya for about a month, and his stress had escalated a few days ago following the sudden disappearance of his Thai girlfriend. He revealed that the Thai woman had lured him into investing in a grocery store on her behalf, only to abandon him later.

    Expressing concern about his financial predicament, Seungwon decided to reach out to his debtor, requesting the return of the money. However, the debtor not only refused but also responded disrespectfully.

    Officers chose not to file charges against Seungwon and escorted him to the hospital for a medical examination. Additionally, they planned to get in touch with his family in South Korea to explore a resolution, aiming to prevent Seungwon from causing further disturbance or attempting self-harm.

    Then reboot your device.

    Sometimes what won't function well on Chrome, will work OK on Firefox or Opera.

    This is not guaranteed to work.  But it does work for some guys.

    There are two ways to turn pages.  Sometimes this will work when the other method won't.

  12. Engine explodes on Thai Lion Air flight.

    Quote

    The engine of an aircraft from Don Mueang carrying famed singer Unnop Thongborisut, better known as Por, exploded mid-flight, causing widespread panic among passengers

    The incident occurred as the aircraft was en route from Don Mueang Airport, with the safe landing achieved at the same airport. Por, one of the passengers, posted a clip on her Instagram story recounting the terrifying experience.

    TikTok user @ben_benga, another passenger on the flight, uploaded a video of the captain and crew explaining the incident to the passengers. He stated that the flight had taken off from Don Mueang at 11.10am and landed back at the same airport at 12.05pm due to an issue with the right engine.

    Passengers alerted the crew of sparks coming from the right engine, following which the engine was shut down. The captain declared that the flight could not continue and had to return to Don Mueang.


    As passengers began to feel ill, the captain conversed with the passengers who reported the sparks. Half of the passengers were vomiting, while others were fainting. Upon landing, everyone clapped and cheered in relief.

    One particular passenger who reported the sparks said that the plane had been shaking during takeoff and that a long streak of fire could be seen coming from the engine. A flight attendant happened to ask the passenger, who then reported the incident.

    The captain explained that there were two possible causes. He was unsure whether a bird had flown into the engine as they had flown through a flock of birds on the right side. However, the incident occurred at around 6,000 feet, while the bird had passed at around 4,000 to 5,000 feet two to three days earlier.

    The bird was large, but there was a delay before the incident happened. Once the engine failure was recognised, it had to be shut down, and there were indeed sparks at that time, reported KhaoSod.

    Another passenger who reported the incident, TikTok user @maisl284, posted a clip of the captain explaining the probable cause after she reported the incident. The captain then returned to his duties, expressing his gratitude to @ben_benga and @maisl284 for their vigilance.

     

  13. Riotous scenes as Thai nightlife workers let rip when tensions overflowed at Paradise Go Go bar early on Sunday morning. Police are investigating the matter as a serious disturbance although it is not clear if charges have been filed or are being pursued by the victims involved.


    28-year-old British holidaymaker Jack Fitzmaurice found himself chased by screaming dancers, bar hostesses and staff from a nightclub in Pattaya’s Soi Buakhao on Sunday morning after feminine pique turned into jealousy and rage among the bar’s workers when he was seen to be engaged with his 35-year-old Thai girlfriend. The UK man was left lying outside the club with cuts and abrasions in a bewildered state as police restored order.


    Pattaya police are investigating a brawl and an outbreak of violence at a well-known nightlife venue in the city early on Sunday morning in which a 28-year-old British tourist was an assault victim when he was attacked by over 20 Thai women, many of them working as hostesses at the Paradise A Go Go club on Soi LK Metro, a popular destination for foreign tourists and in the heart of the city’s nightlife centre.

    Significantly, the city’s entertainment district has been experiencing a revival this year as numbers rise inexorably with the recovery of the country’s foreign tourism industry.


    Eyewitness, a fellow British man, told the UK tabloid The Daily Mail the UK man was chased out of the bar by angry women and bar staff after trying to help
    One western onlooker, a fellow Brit, has told the British media outlet, the Daily Mail, that what happened was similar to a ‘wild west type bar room brawl’ in which women began pulling each other’s hair kicking each other and were subsequently joined by the nightclub’s bar staff with a mass of people eventually chasing the British man at the centre of the uproar out of the club onto the streets.

    Despite this, reports from the scene suggest that the 28-year-old was only trying to keep the peace and restore calm.

    It is understood that the conflagration began when one of the hostesses in the club took issue with the British man’s Thai girlfriend in what appears to have been jealousy as many women in the club, among them sex workers, were looking for short-term boyfriends.

    UK man identified as Jack Fitzmaurice. He suffered minor abrasions and injuries and appeared dazed and shocked by the onslaught of violence and mayhem
    The British man, who sustained slight injuries in the brawl and who afterwards attempted to play down the incident, was identified as 28-year-old Mr Jack Fitzmaurice.

    Pictures and video from the scene showed Mr Fitzmaurice lying on the ground in a dazed condition with blood spatters on his T-shirt.

    He appeared to remain conscious and repeatedly told onlookers and those who sought to give him assistance that he would be all right and simply sought to leave the scene with his Thai companion. 

    ‘I’ll be alright I just want to go home to bed,’ Mr Fitzmaurice repeatedly told bystanders who were eventually joined by officers from Pattaya Police Station who responded to reports of the incident and who have now launched a criminal investigation into what transpired.

    UK man appeared to be a hit with women at the club with one who started a fight with his companion which triggered an explosion of feminine violence
    The British eyewitness who was nearby when the fight between the Thai women broke out, Mr Nicholas Hodge, told the media that it appeared that Mr Fitzmaurice was much sought after by many of the young women in the club. 

    ‘I think there was a lot of jealousy going on over who was getting which punter. Before I knew it, the girls were fighting. The poor kid only tried to stop them and he ended up getting a serious beating,’ Mr Hodge revealed. ‘There was hair being pulled and legs flying everywhere. Then the bar staff joined in and it became quite nasty. It was just like a Wild West-type bar fight you see in the old movies. Just mad.’


    It is understood that one of the women attacked Mr Fitzmaurice’s girlfriend and this triggered a sequence of events that morphed into an explosion of violence among the women.

    The 28-year-old Brit then tried to intervene and became the focus of the ire that spread among the roiling group.

    Thai woman with UK national told reporters she does not want to pursue charges against those who started the aggravation as it could lead to problems
    Mr Fitzmaurice’s Thai companion, 35-year-old Sunaree Tungprakhon, spoke to police at the scene but declined to press charges against her attackers. 

    At length, the Thai woman, who is herself a dancer, said she was attacked by one of the women working at the club but would not be pursuing the case or filing a formal complaint with the police which could lead to complications if a prosecution was to ensue. 

    ‘There was a group of about 20 people, punching and kicking until my British friend was involved and also injured,’ she explained. ‘I don’t want to have problems with this group of people, I’m afraid that it will be dangerous.’

    Pattaya police see the incident as serious amid an investigation including a review of CCTV tapes and the identification of all those who took part.


    However, it appears that Pattaya police are viewing the incident as a serious one since the government in Thailand is anxious to avoid any negative publicity as it seeks to promote the foreign tourism industry.
