  1. Bob, why do you always sign your name at the end of your posts? That's what people with low self esteem do. We know who you are from your profile
  2. I have 3 that I watch regularly. #1. Scammer Payback #2. Anfield Agenda #3. Jim Venetos Golf.
  3. For the Aussie expats that are Thai tax residents please read the following: Tax Alert: Thailand to tax foreign income - Expat Taxes Australia
  4. I booked my April appointment for CM in January, and was lucky to get that as all the dates and times bar one had already been booked.
  5. When you were a teenager loud speakers like that didn't exist and neither did cars or motor bikes. Khaosan road has been like that for yonks. I was actually watching a video on YouTube last night about Khaosan road that was posted 5 years ago. My first visit to Khaosan road was back in 2006 and it was exactly like that. Your reaction to all the noise just shows that you've become a sad old fart.
  6. the fridge test is to put some EVOO in a small glass (like a shot glass) and leave it in the fridge (NOT the freezer) overnight. Real EVOO will 100% solidify. If there's any liquid still on the surface then it's fake. In other words it has other oils such as canola oil palm oil etc mixed in. If you get 2 layers in the bottle as per your comment, then it is most likely fake.
  7. 3 brands that are definitely NOT fake are Bertolli, Carbonell & Minori. I've done the fridge test on the first 2, so I know they are not fake and I mainly use Carbonell a Spanish EVOO. If Carbonell is not available I use Bertolli. Most of the fake olive oils appear to be Italian.
  8. just put in the fridge, not a chest freezer or freezer of any kind.
  9. The first thing with EVOO is to make sure it's not fake. Fake EVOO has things like canola oil and other types of oil mixed in, which means it's actually detrimental to your health. If you want to test the EVOO put a shot glass of EVOO in the fridge overnight. Genuine EVOO will 100% solidify. Should there be any liquid residue on the surface it's fake EVOO. Secondly, ONLY ever buy EVOO that is in a dark (preferably green) coloured bottle. That is what keeps the light out and therefore prevents the oil from going rancid. Thirdly check the labels, front and back to ensure that the oil is cold pressed and that there is a produced date AND a best before date on the rear label. The maximum period between the produced date and best before date MUST be 18 months. Bertolli is genuine BUT their rear label only has a best before date, so there is no way of knowing when it was produced and it could have been anywhere up to 2 years or more prior to the best before date. Carbonell is also a genuine EVOO and it has both dates on it's rear label. This is the one I currently use. Monini is another genuine oil but my local supermarket only sells it with an unhealthy oil as a freebie stuck to it, so I haven't been able to see any dates on the rear label. Never buy EVOO in plastic or clear bottles, it will go rancid very quickly. I buy my oil at Lotus's. My local Makro has Bertolli but only in 1 litre bottles. Based on information I've seen in videos by olive oil experts and reading data, it is recommended by those experts that for home use you should only purchase 250 or 500 ml bottles. 1 litre bottles and larger quantities, especially in tins/cans are meant for restaurants that have a heavy turnover in EVOO use. Should you, or anyone else, have any genuine questions please feel free to message me rather than post an enquiry as a comment.
  10. Forget the calorie count. EVOO is loaded with healthy monounsaturated fat and polyphenols. Even my GP was surprised at the results I've achieved since starting to drink it daily. He said he knew it had health benefits but my results blew his mind. Admittedly I've drinking double the suggested amount, but not exceeding that because too much EVOO will have you sitting on the loo far more than you would like to. Did you actually watch the video I posted? If you don't trust Dr Mandell (??) then go to YouTube and watch any of the numerous videos there on the health benefits of EVOO.
  11. nope. I was already eating healthy, doing DDPYoga 4 times a week and cycling an average of 150kms per week. I was even on blood pressure meds, but none of this was having any impact on my blood pressure, blood sugar or LDL cholesterol. The only impact the healthy eating and exercise was having was keeping my weight constant at 80kg (176lbs). All the improvements have occurred since starting to drink the EVOO. As previously stated, 2 tablespoons (30 mls) every morning on an empty stomach and the same dose 1 hour before bed every night.
  12. That may well be true if you can believe the YouTube video claiming he's only a chiropractor, BUT that doesn't change the fact that what he and many other REAL drs say about the health benefits of EVOO isn't true. I've been drinking EVOO now for around 6 months and my high blood pressure (165/85) is now well within a healthy range (114/70), my blood sugar level has dropped from 145 to 92 and my LDL cholesterol is now also within the healthy range. So it does work.
  13. start drinking extra virgin olive oil. 30 mls (2 tablespoons) every morning on an empty stomach and the same dose again 1 hour before bed at night.
  14. Absolutely no mention, that I can see, of making him pay all the medical bills of his victim.
  15. what happened to innocent until proven guilty spidermike. So far no hard evidence has been produced, just sayso and allegations. If the evidence is real (unlike Republicans evidence) and can be shown that B J is guilty, yes then lock him up, but if this is just another attempt to sabotage him from being the next #1 cop lock up those that are making the allegations.
