  1. Sat next to a NGO worker on a AirAsia flight once. I was surprised and happy she was on the flight. She told me all her colleagues flew business class on full priced airlines. Want to give to charity? Find an individual you trust whose doing something good and give to them. Simon43 being a good example.
  2. I've heard there are foreigners in Thailand who after many years can't speak Thai either!!!! Was there no second language learning in their education system?
  3. Not being sarcastic, but didn't you marry a prostitute? If so, your sentence should read, "marriage to a prostitute is not the answer. It's the doorway to hell." Most would agree with that.
  4. Do you see the millions of hard working Thai women who usually have a Thai husband that contributes less than them? Are you saying these women are playing some weird long game? How long? Next life maybe? Lol.
  5. Kinda similar to getting a bar girl then.
  6. Terry Pratchett, a great author with a fabulous mind died of dementia at 66. Chris Hoy, an olympic gold medalist is dying of cancer at 48. Many men need Viagra by 50. The poster Yogoda claims to be "loving life and banging legal teenagers" in his 70's. We can improve the odds but old age is a lottery and is mostly coming to terms with our and our loved ones losses.
  7. Great attitude to life. You've won the health lottery which is the most important one.
  8. Life becomes cheaper than imagined which is a positive if you had less than you thought, but maybe a negative if you got more.
  9. Some good points raised by the op. I suspect if and when there is a stranglehold on the desires of the citizen who wishes to behave in ways not authorized by the state most posters on here will be long gone. Bit like burning fossil fuels our generations receive the short term benefits while future generations will possibly be paying an awful cost.
  10. If people spend 20 years in a place a good chunk of those people never move. Some people have energy in their 20's to move somewhere but in their 40's they don't have the energy to leave.
  11. Don't know about the op's restaurant but in the UK if you eat at the cheap places you'll be surrounded by pensioners on state benefits and the cheap crowd. Nothing wrong with that. I'm cheap myself, but the great thing about Thailand is that for much less than 400bht you can eat in a place where a young attractive Thai might eat.
  12. But comparing a same sex couples child's outcome to the general population maybe problematic. You're comparing two highly motivated, organised and relatively stable people who clearly want a child with a general population who often are the exact opposite of that. Compare same sex couples with a cohort of heterosexual IVF users for example would be fairer.
  13. Where did you learn your tai chi? Sounds very much what I'm looking for.
  14. Do the days you take it also help the days you don't? Do you mind saying how you take it, dose and the nature of the pain? Many thanks from a fellow sufferer.
  15. Would you say the same about a guy that paid someone to be a best friend? Or a child to be his son?
  16. I get those spasms too. Far to regular. What works for pain? I just endure and never smoked weed. Does weed help?

  18. Considering any of the radiation treatments for my intermediate favourable prostate cancer. I'd like the most skilled Dr possible. I'd like a ball park cost if possible. Many thanks.
  19. I'm in the UK. Planning to marry my Thai gf. Register office say they need my decree absolute translated and signed by the translator. Anyone know cheap place to do this in centralish bkk? Why not just get anyone to translate for free and sign???? 😂
  20. Thank you very much Tony. I'm 56, no benefits or pension. I've 200k in a ordinary tracker fund and some individual shares. So, I could invite gf over on fiance visa, we can marry in UK. I put 100k from shares to cash and then immediately apply for remain to stay? No need for her to leave UK?
  21. Health issues. If possible I'd like to marry Thai gf of many years and bring her here. Not working but have own house and stock portfolio above the savings requirements UK impose. Do I need to sell and put 90k in the bank? How long does it need to be there? I'm divorced from previous Thai. We were in Japan and registered marriage with UK Embassy there. Divorced in Thailand and never told UK. I have a divorce paper in Thai. Needs resolving? Simple steps of advice please. Health is stressful enough.
  22. Oh, sorry. I wasn't clear. It's Gleason 7 3+4 8 samples Gleason 3 3 samples Gleason 4 1 sample no cancer
  23. 12 samples taken. Unfortunately 8 Gleason 3 and 3 Gleason 4. One nothing. Dr said surgery as I'm youngish, 56. I suggested active surveillance which he agreed was an option.
  24. BBC management will cull anything except their own terms and conditions. One of the best pensions you can have.
