How about a country that is currently in trouble as an example, Ukraine. Israel hasn’t been exactly forthcoming with much as they have some extremely wealthy Russian donors. When Roman Abramovitch, the Russian oligarch, ended up losing his football club and yachts and generally being...

When was the last Palestinian open air concert like that just out of interest?

I just want some fair treatment here. I’ve only ever seen this be a one way street and I’ve seen the results from this in person on the ground.

Come on Mike. This horrific event didn’t happen in a vacuum. There’s about a thousand UN resolutions going back decades that show a constant particular treatment of the Palestinian population in stark contrast to the Israeli population of a different faith. Occupation is overlooked, illegal...

Not really a “precision” hit either is it? Netanyahu won’t stop because when he does his career might be over. That’s a pretty despicable reason to keep on bombing. I watched the news this morning. Listened to the Lebanese that were interviewed and all I could think about is that this action...

I always thought that one of the perks of getting older was that you could be a crabby old bastard and it’s socially acceptable.

My wife gets annoyed with the tip calculated with taxes included so she adjusts for that. I’m not a fan of tipping for something where I don’t have a choice to pick it up myself like a bar for instance. I can’t hop over the bar to pour my own drink.

Surely it’s the other way round. You tip for pleasant/efficient service received. You get bugger all if you’re useless and rude.

I had a Tiger 1050 SE that was way more street bike than ADV. Cast wheels, arrow exhaust with an amazing sound with the triple engine and plenty of pick-up and go. Very comfy and looked really good in matt black/grey and silver rims. I sometimes regret selling it as it may have been one of the...

Squid games-set up a rival YouTube channel with the only aim to siphon donations from the scrounger. The YouTube channel reports on the health decline of the scrounger as funds are no longer available. All donated funds are used to live an opulent lifestyle casually frittering away cash but...

I’ve been to both (a lot) and like both but prefer Panama. When you step off the plane in Tocumen a short subway trip gets you to the main bus station and rainforest with toucans, monkeys and sloths is a few dollar cab ride from there right in the City. Where the OP would be going is a 40...

If you’re looking at the RIU in Panama then I’ve heard good things from people that stayed there. That’s near the Decameron complex too. Nice beaches but the water isn’t super clear for snorkelling. You can take trips out on the water though and there’s a big island offshore that may have...

It’s not super cheap any more. You can eat for less if you stick with the places locals go to and you’ll get tasty fresh fish or meat dishes with beans and rice. A tourist fish place on the beach will cost you about 10-15US for a main with beers for a few bucks.

Bought a Thudbuster seat post. The roads round here for a non-suspension bike are poop. Will give it a go to see if it will prevent my teeth rattling out.

Punta Cana is full of Germans. I’ll make no more comment than that.

If you feel a bit more adventurous I can send you the AirBnB details. Think it was about $200 a night for a place with two sets of bedrooms, one right on the beach, and an outdoor large palm frond covered palapa with hammocks, outdoor seating, dining table and outdoor kitchen. There’s an...

Is it the Decameron in Panama or the area the Decameron is in? If so, within a short distance of that resort you have access to real rainforest and lovely little villages. The beaches are good and not many on them. If you fly into the nearby airport you’re 20 mins from your hotel. Day trips...

What about the ******** who were with her in those other cars?

A Garmin Varia radar works well for this. Advance warning of traffic behind you. I like mine so much I feel way more exposed when I forget it.

The driveway alarm has proved to be 100% accurate for only people stepping onto the driveway so I’m happy about that. No animals or shadows/sun or anything else have tripped it. What this means is that if it goes off at night I can be 100% sure there’s someone on my driveway and then get the...
