MAJIC

Unfortunately, this is often the nature of being Helpful,Generous, and Caring,

you get crapped on,by the selfish and ungrateful amongst us.

Over the years, I have become accustomed to it,so when a thank you is received, it comes as a pleasant surprise.

They are too ignorant to understand,and its often too late to teach them some manners.

I think the visa laws are in line with most, if not all, other countries. Some countries enforce them more rigidly than others but if your visa says 3 months then you should leave in 3 months or get an extension. You can't go wrong by following the rules.

Yes for sure last time I got a UK 2 year visa for the Mrs I had to have 10,000 quid on my bank account and she had to go stamp every 3 months.

Can you enlighten me? as to the Type of 2 year UK Visa your Wife had, that required £10,000 in the Bank and also

required a Check In/stamp every 3 months??????

Never heard of it, I shall await your reply!

Sorry was being a bit sarcastic towards previous post.

Sure tourist visas are in line with most countries but this you would also expect for a tourist related county like Thailnad but visas for spouses are not.

The wife did get a two year visa for the UK which cost around 100 quid may be a little more and it only required a copy of the marriage certificate and my Passport.

Well thanks for your reply,but I am still no wiser.

You forgot to say the type of 2 year Visa,and also confirming her having to check in every 3 months???

Hopefully, dear old Pikey has realised that this vendetta has backfired.

Same as his recent Promotion Post!

If anyone had dared post a joke about the mutilation of a woman on ThaiVisa, that post would have been deleted and the poster banned PDQ.

Ain't that the truth.

Ditto.

Yea,but its worse when your English speaking friends have to tell you,to switch off the Pidgeon/Broken English,

Thats when you know you need to get out of the Village more!

Well you were Pikey for 6 years,so what happened to make you want to relinquish your anonimity? after such a short time?

Wouldn,t be anything to do with the Bike Hire Business would it?

~snip~

How do these fears differ? Both concern possible death and both would have profound psychological effects that would change and most likely damage a person for life. Only difference is one involves male genitalia and the other doesn't.

Most all men know the answer to that. The dick is everything. Read some FREUD and get back to me. I think your line of discussion is just silly, much sillier than the jokes.

Next ...

Breast Cancer and "the Chop". two very different subjects. Breast cancer is brought on by unknown health conditions. As a medical condition brought on within the body there is no second party through which to consider the infidelity and jealousy involved. That ain't the case here. The reasons behind "the Chop" are enough to see a humorous side.

I think it safe to say,you would not be feeling humorous, if it were to happen to you,there is no reason,behind a completely unreasonable act of Butchering another human being,or a humorous side to it!

Thai men should learn to teat us with more respect. Else ... you know what may happen.

For the first time ever, I agree with you. Keep your zipper up around others, and you don't have a problem at home.

She doesn't need any encouragement to make these whacky statements,she's an expert already!

im suspecting that they have no choice

asians, it seems, are genetically hardwired

to share information because theyre a 'group'

kind of people as opposed to the individualist/private

sort which the caucasian/westerners are

group type people act as one as though the group

was one entity

they live very close to each other and pretty soon

everyone knows everything about everyone

westerners value privacy and confidentiality. they

value trust

So,seems to me you are saying,just because Asians/Thais,cant keep their mouths shut on important confidential issues,we westerners have to follow suit,.........eh?.

Your last,words of wisdom: "they value trust" wake up fella!...... how the fork can they/we value trust,when you and I know they blab off about anybody and anything personal,no matter to them,they lack Integrity,and are untrustworthy,confidants,..with any secret other than the Cat is pregnant,and next doors Cat,probably stuffed it!,

local gossip states that TomCat X was "genetically hardwired" at the time of the incident.

*News Flash*.........Oh! Mrs Somchai,has been heard to say she wants compensation from the Tom Cat Xs Farang owner!

this story will probably run and run around the village,until a compensation figure is agreed,the Farang could well have to sell his house over this,the words Feline Rape has been bandied about also,....blah..... blah..........

Add some more village gossip here_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

All your pompous lectures,David Attenborough style,changes nothing.

Oh Dear! I might wake up tomorrow and find I'm on a holiday,or worse still the "Silly Go Home Police" will be on to me"!

A straight case of attempted Murder,

resulting in GBH,poor guy was lucky to have woken up before he bled to death.

Happens too often in Thailand,but I only recall 1 case in America,guy called Bobby Lovett? or something like that.

"hel_l hath no Fury like a woman scorned" certainly takes on a new meaning with some Thai females.

To the OP:

Guys - I was speaking to a guy the other night and the subject rolled onto UK Pension Credits. He told me that he had lived in Finland for the last 8 years, married to a Finn, but sadly his marriage failed. He then returned to the UK and went to "sign on." He was amazed to be told "no point in signing on. As you are 61 you qualify for pension credits." Anyway he now gets £133 a week, does not have to sign on and just upp'd and moved to Thailand. His £133 a week works out at an average of 27,000 baht per month...nicely topped up by a small private pension.

Your Friend is committing Fraud,Pension Credits are for permanent UK residents only, and his wife is not permanently resident either,so she is also party to the Fraud!

Also had he told them, about being resident in Finland for 8 years,he would have had to take something named the..."Habitual Residents Test"....in order to qualify for PC,and prove he was back to stay Permanently in the UK!

According to my information (a highly trusted and informed source),someone on PC can only leave the Country for a total of 13 weeks,in any 1 year period,and when you go,you must notify them of departure and also your return.

58 does not qualify! for Pension Credits!

JOBCENTREPLUS, Do not put you on immediate Pension Credits (they do not have the power to do so),you have to apply to the. DWP.

Definately not,as anyone who has lived in a village will already know.

Talking about everyone,and disclosing information, and confidences: is IMO a National Sport!

Yes these are the Born again Psuedo Thais,

you know,the ones that are always telling us to go home if they dont like the fact that we disagree with their new found Countries Policies ,on certain subjects.

Tragic people,first they disown their own Country (or maybe the reverse?),slag off their Homeland at every available opportunity,and then expect all and sundry to join them like demented Lemmings in their foolish quest to convert everyone else to Thaism.

Pathetic Countryless Tossers,springs to mind!

It's no problem being addresses as Khun by a indigenous Thai,but sounds utterly ridiculous coming from a Farang/Thai wannabe,who thinks he is one!

More bombs more arrivals.

Well Chantorn,you are half right,

More bombs more arrivals............to other Countries!

Another day and another stupid comment,from yet another Minister.

Where do they clone them? (sigh)

I always tell my friends, if you LIVE here, you should have a good portion of your assets here. Does that not make sense??

YES!

NO! unless you want to lose everything,

I'm sure I dont need to enlarge on this,just look around at how many Farangs have been cleaned out,

who also made the commitment to Thailand.

I voted yes because I would like that. but if it was that easy to see dont you think some members may be swayed to reply in a different way depending on how many reds or greens that OP has?

Good point!and probably would have an effect on the reply.

You think adding a superficial BIAS to your posts is a good thing? Oy vey, this is hopeless. Bring it on. Back to grade school!

BTW, this entire rep game is an insult to our intelligence. But you know what they say, nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public, in this case, ALL people. This is pure Lowest Common Denominator. It doesn't reward intelligence and real integrity, it rewards pablum milquetoast group think.

No I didn't say it was a good thing,only IMO would: "probably would have an effect on the reply"

WOW!!!

Jingthing has some real competition.

I do indeed. However, I never shirk from a challenge. In fact, I welcome others to recognize the desirability, dare I say the sexiness, of being marked with many red blotches of love. As Bush famously said, BRING IT ON!

Sorry Jingthing I just gave you a Green,although I understand your point/points on this matter,you are much too good a Poster to dish out the Reds to!

Don't discount Chunky he has earned himself enough reds too. But not by asking about them but just by being himself.

He's managed to get 14 reds on just one troll - think he will be a contender for first to a thousnad if he can last that long.

Thats all very well,but has he also got the stamina to keep it up???

Tony Blair isn't busy these days. Perhaps he's available?

Oh! hes been busy alright,made himself in excess of £20,000,000 since leaving office.

Frightening that 2 such evil men had so much power for so long ... nicest thing i could wish them is a painful early death.

I could agree with 50% of that statement - - - - - - - fill in the dashes.

My Forecast is: : There will be several more forecasts shortly!

An extremely clever man,who knew the perfect bait to apply on his ex wife! to get his Son back.
