    Yes.

    Whether Chou was referring to the 1968 events in Paris or the earlier Revolution of 1789 the words variously translated as Too Early To Tell or Too Soon To Say were uttered by him. He spoke them in 1972, about a past event. I’m using them in 2021 about a future scenario. It’s a mild literary conceit.

    Perhaps I should instead have referred to 1 Corinthians 13:12 - what say you?

    I’m not clever enough to understand any of the following posts. Google is not my friend.

    Recognising your limitations is a precept of Buddhism’s Third Noble Truth. You’re on your way to joining me.

    The Bangkok Post reports mounting excitement in Phuket about the re-opening. Some might say they’re counting unhatched chickens before they come roosting.

    Found at the end of the last article:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbYJOGEgjAE

    I'm assuming that's the author of the article? He does bring up some good points.

    Some of the questions he asks have already been answered eg. how long must tourists stay in Phuket - it’s 7 days. Kids don’t need to be vaccinated. And so on. Interesting questions but rather a lot of “aren’t I clever?” self-promotion. I see he makes the same point about numbers of tourists I made to you the other day when you spoke of a million tourists - you’re dreaming.

    Phuket is the trial run and it’s where the government will answer all those issues before they open up some other provinces. If he seriously expects answers to have been readied for Day One he’s the person who’s dreaming.

    He should join SGT - he'd fit right in! Perhaps he is already here.....
