£43...
in Chiang Mai
I was a £10 Pom. Unfortunately my parents decided to move back to the UK. I'd have been happy to stay in Oz but I was only 10 at the time. I visited Oz quite a lot while I was at sea and loved the place.

£43...
in Chiang Mai
You forgot to mention that your Great Grandad managed to get to Oz for stealing women's knickers off a washing line
Think all the "Whinging POMS" (moaning Britts) have moved from Australia to Thailand.But hardly a day goes by when some member does not moan that life in Thailand has gotten "too dear" and he they no choice but to pack up and move back to Englund!
We used to have Lorry Loads of them. The Oz Government used to subsidize their fares to Australia...it only cost them TEN Pounds to come out.
Even the Great Train Robber, Ronald Biggs managed to get to Oz for Ten Quid. I had the fun of being involved in the Media Chase after him before he took off to South America.
I digress.... The "Whinging Poms," used to tell us how things were done and were so much "better at home in England." Just like many of them now do in Thailand.
Quite a few of them actually took some good Aussie advice and decided to "Go back to where they #@&*#ing well came from. " BUT some of those got 'ome and found they'd made an 'orrible mistake. They then paid Full-fare BACK to Australia. They became known as "To-and-Froms" (Poms who went back and forth.)
In case you are wondering about the word, "POMS" it was derived from the sign worn on the backs of the Uniforms of Prisoners, who were sent from England to the "Penal" Settlement. The letters, "P O M E" were emblazoned on the backs of their shirts. It meant, "Prisoner Of Mother England."
Ten Quid (Pound) trips to Australia are a thing of the past and anyway it's become far toonh expensive to live there, so NOW they come to Thailand in the hope that if they grizzle often enough, the place might become , Just Like England....and then they'll all pack up and perhaps try their luck in
North Korea where a certain young Gentleman who was educated in Switzerland, is probably hankering for some Britts to come and show his people how things ought to be done.

Cheapest price I can find for a Fiesta in Thailand is £11,500, In the UK list IS £9995 which can usually knocked down a bit. How much petrol would the difference pay for?

What do you have to sell ? China doesn't give anything away for free.The US is no longer top dog. China is. So any countries begging for money, support, aid, etc, just call 1-800-REDCHINA and don't bother us anymore.

So what? Ever heard of any nation giving something away for free? Certainly not the US in any case!
Dude let go of your hostility. You are blinded by hate. Actually, US and YS citizens do a lot of charitable work around the world and are typically the first to step in and help when there are natural disasters. You may want to paint us a demons, but we are not.
The title of this thread is "US needs to show it's still top dog". All your replies so far just demonstrate how true it is...

or a student of anything
You're obviously not a student of history.Like it or not, US will always be the world leader.
You are both correct. I am a veteran and a teacher.
Btw, neither of you have a counter-argument other than "no".
All of these thought they were going to be the 'world leader' for ever...

To some of us a uniform says:
Unmotivated person, who follows and is controlled by others.
Military, police,, boy scouts....
Major Generals - Admirals - Air Vice Marshalls...
Don't forget the Rear Admirals.
I never do. They have a warm place in my heart...

Proof in that people in a poorer come up are all for show and will never really know what matters until the hit the western world and go back home and realise how backwards there world actually isI dress in clothes covered in paint, shoes with holes in the bottom and shave once a month.
I love to see their assumptions about me, farang kee nok etc
My local policeman knows the score though he actually sees why Im like this asks me when I can build his house
Now if we can turn it round and go see the smartly uniformed persons living accommodation you might see something else?
Thats just racist
Not like your implication that the natives need to visit the west in order to find out how 'backward' their own world is then?
Really naive response seeming what decade that photo was taken just shows your childish side.
I live in sydney and bangkok you know and my thai friends in sydney dont have as good a cell phones as my friends in bkk because they figured out how stupid keeping up with the jones really is and you wouldnt catch one of them dead in a uniform flexing as they would be too embarrassed to be seen in one.ere
You're calling a whole country backwards because of the cell phone models your mates own?
Can you read what year this is written ?
Yes 2008 - that's 6 years ago. It's not really relevant to the fact that you consider them 'backward' because they don't have the same cell phones as your friends.

Do people who win this pointless award actually go around boasting about it to anyone that will listen?
The runners-up tend to go off in an enormous sulk for weeks afterwards
