I met old friends this week end. We were very close - my daughter is a godchild of them and their son is godson of my wife. Then they left for the US 25 years ago. I was glad to see them but I went alone my wife being in Grance and my daughters uninterested. It was real nice to see them again ne some friends in common. But I was shocked that my friend that my friend said he felt unsafe in n Belgium. He didn’t dare leave his suitcases in the car for free of a break in. He went on saying gun policy in the US is not a bad thing after all. Nobody would risk their life to try to steal a tomb set in a house full of guns. Ahem. I guess 20 years in Texas made him become more US than European. Would have been to have this discussion at the end of the day as it was a bad one to break the ice.

Haven’t heard from questa for a while. Hope she’s ok particularly as the England v Australia cricket Tests series (ashes) start next Friday.

I just looked. The last time she was online was two months ago (April 14)! Hope she's okay.

Getting strange phone calls on the mobile late in the afternoon. Yesterday was from Limavady Northern Ireland and the day before from Norway. Didn’t answer either.

Not much lately but I used to get calls from places like Congo Brazzaville. The cell phone would ring and immediately cut off -- like I am going to call back to find out who it was.

I don't know Questa's address since she moved to be near her family. If anybody else has it can they pm it to me so that I can write to her. I do hope that she's just busy.

I looked it up. When there is no oxygen, bodies will decompose anyway, just more slowly.

I have moved on to another subject. It might have taken 70 years to find the Titanic, but it should take a year or two to find those rich people in their death pod.

I looked it up. When there is no oxygen, bodies will decompose anyway, just more slowly. Temperature is also a factor and the sealed environment. It's about 2 degrees down there.

As some reporters say the fate of these 5 western ultra wealthy on a tourist journey makes a much better story than the sinking of migrants ship in the Med with 300 deads.
Speaks volume about our society.

I am getting so disgusted with the media coverage of this "tragedy". Can you imagine how many migrants could be saved in the Mediterranean with the money spent on these reckless billionaires?

Hey Friends...Thanks for your concerns but I am Ok (sort of!) My absence was mainly due to my everlasting battle with technology and my tendency to push a button to see what will happen. Thanks, too, go to Kerouac who gave me tips to fix the mess...from Saigon!
Yes Mick, The 1st Test was a ripper. I could only catch parts of it but there was something for everyone. Naturally we are rather peeved that the MGC was bypassed for venue.
Saigon...what an evocative word! From being involved in the Anti war movement in the 70s to visiting for 5 weeks in 1994 Viet Nam has held a fascination for me. I was there when in 4 days the people celebrated Dien Bien Phu day, Re-Unification Day, May Day and the day the US freed up trade and tourism and the Coca Cola signs went up overnight. Great fun for all.
I have heard that when asked how they wanted development to occur...aseptic like Singapore or rag-tag like Thailand, the answer was "both". Seems Kerouac copped Bangkok!
