Don't get me started on Irish history

OK, looks like I 'm about to be banned...................

You mean suspended? I wouldn't be surprised, most moderators are OK, but you still have to walk on eggshells at times.

Don't get me started on Irish history

I wonder if some nice poster can help me. I bought a new Samsung GT-S5360 last Monday. The girl assistant took the simcard from my old phone an put it in the new one, and put the new battery in etc.

There was about 180 Baht in my old phone. When I got home, I read the instructions and started finding my way around the new phone and made a call. The next day I tried to make another call and found all my money had disappeared. This morning I went and topped it up with 200Baht, this evening that had also all disappeared without me making any calls.

I went back to the shop to complain, but no one can speak English and my Thai is a bit limited, I got my wife to come to the shop and she spoke with the assistants. My wifes English is not great, but what I could make out from her is I must have done something to cause the money to keep getting used up, apparently, it is something to do with the internet.

Does anyone know what I have done that I should not have? Is there something I should do to stop the phone using up my money concerning the internet. I have downloaded the instructions and read them through and there is nothing there about anything that could make my money disappear, just as there are no instructions to say how to delete calls, although that has now been remeded.

I would appreciate if someone could help me with this and tell me what I should do. I am frightened now to use my phone in case my money disappears again.

Thanks everyone, a guy in a computer shop showed me. But for a company like Samsung not to have it in the instructions is a disgrace.

Some time take longer but they die, just wait a bit

Use so much kill your self be careful

The OP obviously knows how to sex cockroaches, or a they all males hence the name.

Some of the guest houses in the Soi Buckoa and Soi Diana areas of Pattaya have both AC and fans. The ACs are set permanently to only give out a little cold air, then that forces the guests to use the fan also. Personally, I think it is one big con to save money.

If you can get them dancing to this Scottish tune, then I'll turn up, but only if you book the wee lassie to play live

That was excellent I like Thai, first I've seen that.......this band are excellent, they have a poignant story, they commemorate the Scots and Irish that fought with the Mexicans at The Alamo.

That fought with the Mexicans???? There were 4 Scots who helped Davy Crockett fight against the Mexicans, also, there was a Scot from Edinburgh who fought with Custer at the Little Big Horn.

Yup, and there were several Irish and Scots thought fought with the Mexicans against the land grabbers. The real story of the Alamo is an interesting one, and another uncomfortable truth for many Americans.

Don't get me started on that though I got in trouble enough re history last week

That's something else I've learned, I didn't know that some Scottish and Irish fought with the Mexicans, Anyway I am more into Irish history than American history.

I believe the op is either a troll or the village idiot of whatever ban he lives in.

@ realenglish1 - Either change your forum name to suit your writing style or think about eating at a different restaurant. And if your missus was indeed doing what you said she was doing I hope the piece of paper you wrote your phone number on was very long and soft.

Have you ever tried writing on toilet paper?

Its easy to tell if she likes you. Just tell her your intentions

Say

I like you and I want to know you Do you have a boyfriend. Is she says no Then the door is opened

I met my finance in a restraurant. She was shitting with a group of 10 woman. She smiled at me so I went over and gave her my telephone number.

I then said I speak Thai but do you speak english she said yes. Then I said give me your telephone number. She smiled and said

"for what" I said so I can invite her out to dinner.

To make a long story short we are engaged and are to be married November 9th.

What I am trying to say is you are the man and Thai woman like us to take control of a situation so man up and tell her you really like her

She is probably careful because she is not interested in a one night stand so I would make your intentions known to her and see what happens

The worst is she sounds like a nice lady she will let you down softly if she is not interested but knowing Thai woman Go after her like you are tryng to catch that big fish and dont give up unless she says GET LOST

Its That simple

She was doing what? Shitting with a group of 10 women? LOL

Can't she go to the toilet?

Maybe she wants to find out how rich you are.

paste and copy this...you can look at all the spec of the phone

Thanks, I have done what you said and it has been a great help, but I need to know how to delete finished phone calls and text messages on my screen.

I have just bought a new Samsung GT-S5360 Smartphone. I have downloaded the instructions, but there is nothing to tell you how to delete the phone calls you have received, or the text messages, can anyone help please?

No wonder there is so much obesity here in Thailand. Five 100 Baht hamburgers in one go??????

I forgot to mention, in

I'd put a Carl's Jr double meat burger up against anything else I've had in Thailand (or China, or Korea).

It's still fast food, and it doesn't pretend to be anything else- but they are good.

When Fuddruckers opens up in Bangkok, I may change my mind.

I remember a restaurant in Nashville Tennessee called Fuddruckers. it was brilliant, the best food, great portions. I will certainly watch for this place opening in Bangkok.

I forgot to mention, in Fuddruckers in Nashville, you actually watch the chefs cutting up the meat and cooking it then putting it on your hamburger, you add anything else you want yourself ie salads, sauce etc.

You can talk to therapists until you are blue in the face, but it won't shed the lbs. Only one way. Eat less garbage and exercise more. You have only one life to live, being a reasonable weight will make everything better.

Your depression is probably a result of being fat. I go through the same thing. When I am fat I feel horrible. Everybody is the same. Anyone who says they are comfortable being fat is FoS.

Go running. No excuses. If you run 30 min 4-5X per week you can eat normal meals that taste good, without having to resort to a depressingly bland diet. I see my friends control their weight by eating like a rabbit. Personally that isn't for me. I love pizza, burgers, rice, curry, mocha frappaccinos, etc. so I run.

Thailand is a great place to exercise. So many interesting places to walk/run.

I'm comfortable being fat, it doesn't bother me in the least. It doesn't prevent me from doing anything, I'm completely healthy, so who cares. The only time it really matters is doing KOM races on the bike, hauling the extra 20-30kg up hill means I can never compete!

Right now I'm sitting around 107kg, earlier this year I ran a marathon, in a normal week I'll put 150km or more on the bike. I spend an hour at the gym 3-4 days a week too. I just like my food and booze, in the end all is well, who cares what other people think. In fact I'm probably more fit then anyone who looks down on me.

If you were able to run a marathon, I believe you will be fitter than anyone who looks down on you, I have never smoked or drunk alcohol, 6ft and 75 Kilo, I spoil myself every night with a mug of tea and about four or five biscuits, but exercise five days a week for about 30 mins a day. You at 107 Ks (what height?) will be a bit fitter than me, but you use a lot of cals as well as you like your food. Good on you.

I doubt many people would look down on you.. i look down on those who say it cant be done and make up all kinds of excuses. Not the ones that are happy at their weight. Actually when i see someone overweight I hardly give it a second thought.. except those that can hardly walk.. then I ask myself how people can let that happen as then it really starts to impact your life.

Good answer Robblok.

We always find at least one item at big C higher at the till than on the shelf, can we su them? They used to give us the item free but we got so much stuff like that they now give us the money overcharged back. They normally blame the customers, why can't they accept responsibility, oh yes they are Thai!

Yes, this happens all the time at Big C, I have lost count of the times they have tried to make me pay more than the price on the ticket. I really believe this is done deliberately as most people don't check their receipts.

Get an SCB account, have always had much better customer service with them.

I do not agree, their customer service was about the worst I have ever encountered. Despite all the business I gave them when I first came to Thailand, they treated me like sh-t after I was with them for four years. I closed my account with them.

This is the same bank that a customer had 300,000 Baht disappear from his account, then refused to do anything about it. After about two years, a court forced them to pay out.

Yes, you can report, It depends what kind of corruption thou.

In some cases it will be worth something, but most cases you will just get laughed at.

Why does any Farang want to report corruption any way? Maybe I am missing something, but is it actually affecting us. It is their country, so just leave them to it. Besides, if there was no corruption, a lot of Farangs would be a lot more inconvenienced. So just leave it, apart from maybe helping the police solve a serious crime, grassing on people is the lowest of the low.

Obviously you did not read my post #29

I read your post Gone, and I think you have been very unlucky, but as I said, it is their country, and you have got to accept it. I am sorry about what happened to you, it is wrong and it is evil, but a lot of people have gained out of corruption, ie minor traffic infringements, paying 200 Baht to a cop rather than all the inconvenience of going to the police station and paying a lot more. I don't know what country you come from, but living here in Thailand is still a lot better than living in the UK. I wish you good luck and hope everything goes well for you.

I rarely lend, but when I do, it's only as much as I can afford to never see again and not be bothered about.

I would never lend money and no one in my wifes family has ever asked me too. The thought that anyone who lends money knowing that they will never get if back, I cannot understand. Knowing that it will never be paid back is all the more reason I would never lend. These people who ask anyone to lend them money having no intention of paying it back are just taking the p--s.

They're also preventing shoplifting.

Of course, the staff are afraid you might walk off with a lawnmower in your'e pocket.

I think there is a lot of meaness in the North of Scotland, I used to work in Aberdeen sometimes which meant overnight stays, at one B and B, as well as paying for your'e bed abd breakfast, you also had to put money in the meter for the heating, I've used B and Bs all over Scotland, and in England, and that place in Aberdeen was the only time I had to pay extra in the meter.

Not quite the same as having to pay extra for Wifi in a classy hotel in Bangkok possum1931?

theblether's endorsed you so I think I'm on safe ground.

You are dead right Singlepot, I have long complained about hotels charging extra for wi-fi.
