Unfortunately it wasn't ! Approximately 30% value wiped out in a few hours ! That was painful. How sitting waiting for todays fun and games to see SHOULD I have sold out whilst still a bit ahead ( I didnt ) or ride it our and just hope that things recover quickly reasonably quickly. Must be worrying today for anyone depending on the markets for income for their pension just now.
Now don't go throwing yourself out of your office window, NIrish-guy! Remember, you're only on the ground floor and some eegit planted a poison ivy bush directly beneath your window. So not only will you end up penniless . . . no, scrub ‘penniless’, I meant, down to your last million . . . but itchy as hell! ;)

and the face mask situation in Thailand is getting worse - the latest report was that 90% of mobile phones here have now run out of the Face with Medical Mask emoji

Their naked Sunday afternoon "Service" was certainly very spiritual and indeed lots of men ended up on their knees there from what I can recall :-)
transport permitting and I do make it there I will be staying just just a few blocks away from that church so will have to check it out - fortunately there is a museum nearby that I can plug into google map directions to make the visit look more legit!
and fortunately "taking a knee" is not yet a problem in Europe, only at sporting events in the US!

Well now you're forgetting that I LIVE with an Asian here so any departure from a window, elevated or otherwise will I'm guessing be more as a result of a push rather than a jump ! And likewise re the having a Million, see my previous sentence and work out for yourself then the likelihood for that being the case after providing for all of his apparently "must have" creature comforts as required ! Actually now that I think about it jumping might be the cheaper option in the long run perhaps ! :-)

Ah good, then yes be sure to check out the website link I'd sent and maybe plan to drop in during one of their events as we genuninely had a very unexpected hot and heavy naked Sunday there at like 3pm in the afernoon when there were still tourists walking up and down outside, so yeah defintely check it out perhaps.
As as for "taking a knee" well as Latin has decided I'm past it I'll have to agree with him that "going down" on someone doesn't bother me in the slightest still, it's getting bloody UP again that causes the problem now with knee pains abounding now !!
Hmmm I wonder can Money boys lodge claims from some Government body in classing that as a long term industrial work related injury perhaps !? :-)
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
irish...judging by your banter I had always assumed u were at least 80 and very good on a zimmer frame...kinda difficult to get up to the mezzanine or down to the toilets and basement fun zone...
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Zimmer frame?
Is that similar to the one currently used by Harvey Weinstein? He appears pretty agile...

Today, I highlight two reports from the Bangkok Post and one from BBC News:

South Korea confirmed 594 more coronavirus cases on Saturday, the biggest increase to date for the country and taking the national total to 2,931 infections with three additional deaths.
More than 90% of the new cases were in Daegu, the centre of the country's outbreak, and its neighbouring North Gyeongsang province, the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
Three women in the Daegu area died of the illness, taking the national toll to 16, the statement added.

US postpones summit with Asean leaders amid coronavirus fears-sources
published : 29 Feb 2020 at 08:41
WASHINGTON: The United States has decided to postpone a meeting with leaders of Southeast Asian countries it had planned to host on March 14 due to worries about the coronavirus outbreak, two US officials familiar with the matter said on Friday.
US President Donald Trump had invited leaders of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to meet in Las Vegas after he did not attend a summit with the group in Bangkok in November.
"As the international community works together to defeat the novel coronavirus, the United States, in consultation with Asean partners, has made the difficult decision to postpone the Asean leaders meeting," one of the sources, a senior administration official, told Reuters. . .

Coronavirus: Risk of spread upgraded to highest level
The World Health Organization (WHO) has upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to "very high" - its top level of risk assessment.
But the UN body said there was still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission were broken.
WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also stressed that fear and misinformation were the biggest challenges to overcome.
More than 50 countries have now reported cases of coronavirus.
And sources within Iran's healthcare system told BBC Persian that, as of Thursday evening, at least 210 people had died from the virus. This is more than six times higher than the official government figure . . .

Indeed as of course I had my asian live in carer with me so he was able to help me up to the Mezzanine you discuss and likewise down to the basement, where unfortunately he decided to leave me too it as it was all getting a little bit too hardcore for him there it seems, But I have to say that zimmerframe of mine was VERY useful for giving me something to hold on to for support when in the basement, one should never underestimate the use of the elderly peoples walking aids !

Be interesting to see how long his recent infirmities carry on, I'm guessing right up until just after his appeal at the very least ! And then no matter what the outcome he'll be telling his lawyer to go fuck himself seeing as his "plan" so display his client frailties failed so miserably and indeed only perhaps added to the problem !
