  1. Image titles? Descriptions? Media used? Keywords? All are lacking... ? ? OK... Let's hazard a guess?!! One of the Simpsons characters? Bart? By any chance?!!
  2. Yeah... Well... Ummm... Let's all panic and pretend that, not only is corona virus 100% instantly fatal in all cases - but there is nothing else in the world that we can possibly catch and even if we did, none of these other diseases are even half as bad as corona beer, sorry, VIRUS!!!!

    And we are all going to get it and the end of the world is just around the corner?!!!    :help:

    Have another beer!

    Cheers!! :drinks:

    Interesting work... I see a snooker table crammed with balls, each with a little face on it. And the triangle thing that they use to arrange the balls, is full of broken ones... Or something like that?!!

    Awesome!!
  5. UK figures, rough, annual, from a quick Google search:
     
    Deaths due to flu complications: 600 - and anything up to 10,000 in a really bad year.
    Road accident fatalities: 1784 - about 5 a day, on average. Injuries, obviously, are way higher (160.378 reported in 2018)
    Deaths due to cancer: 165,000
    Deaths due to heart attack and other circulatory problems (including, presumably, stroke?): 165,000
    Deaths due to stroke alone: 32,000
     
     
    And for the USA:
     
    Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes occur every year in the United States. More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year—that's 1 in every 3 deaths, and about 160,000 of them occur in people under age 65.
     
     
    I don't particularly want bird flu, or SARS, or corona virus - or any other kind of bug - but let's keep these things in perspective.

    Bangkok

    Just a few snapshots taken during some of my frequent visits to the city of Bangkok
  9. From the album: Bangkok

    An early view of bustling traffic (and life!!) in Sukhumvit Soi 24 on the evening of the first day back at work, (for many,) after the long New Year holidays in January, 2020. View from the West-bound platform at the BTS (Skytrain) station at Pomprong.
  10. From the album: Bangkok

    View looking North from the West-bound platform at BTS (Skytrain) Egamai station. I just wanted to capture the last of the evening twilight with the Wat That Thong temple sparling sparkling away in the background.
  11. Well... I don't often pray - but I am praying now...

    No more war.

  12. From the album: I wish you were beer!

    A bottle of Badgers Tangle Foot and an old English telephone box, (now housing the till,) at the Robin Hood pub in Sukhumvit, Bangkok. The Robin Hood is close to the corner of Soi 35 and it is directly opposite Benjasiri Park. They have quite a reasonable selection of beers - including, of course, the good old standard: Guinness! I try to avoid the very touristy British and Irish-type pubs when I am in Bangkok. But the commonly available Thai beers are dreadful and Hey! Any port in a storm, as they say!!
