  1. Apart from that, i am watching what you lot are. Downton Abbey last night was fun with the projectile vomiting!!

    A rather nice reality tv thingy i found, was an American one called 30 day fiancé. About getting your bride to the US on a fiancé visa. I sorta get attached to their stories. and the people.

    Now i am off to watch Doc Martin and Stacey Dooly.

    Downtown Abbey,great, doc Martin great again ,Stacy Dooley, about as much fun as licking my toilet bowl clean LOL

  2. having had the car vios sportivo for over 3yrs.i have just found out it has no back wiper

    You mean you don't employ a Thai parking attendant kitted out with a whistle and torch? Cheap Charlie.

    This is Somchai, my head parking attendant. Fantastic employee, very loyal and never had a problem with reversing.

    Does he travel with you in the rear seat or the boot?

  3. Yes the export shop in central,,for a laugh my sister in law ,put a shirt up against me last week and said what a nice colour ,trouble was it was the size of a small tent,I don't think I have ever seen a larger shirt,4th floor I think

  4. Very little what?

    chance of selling it . houses over that price unless new ,seem to hang around for years , some are lucky most are not .just telling it the way it is .

    I'm not too sure about that.

    I would have thought a reasonably priced house in Jomtien Park Villas that isn't overlooked by the condo behind would sell. Problem is many homeowners buy their house for too much in the first place.

    Even more try to sell them for to much

  5. Unfortunately,its not just a Thai thing In the UK I had to deal with many People from India,9 times out of 10 they would either be late or not turn up, perhaps it's because in Asia they are more laid back,and unlike in the west there is no rush,where we rush,rush,rush all the time , here there is Thai time And falang time,I just live with it , my wife tends to be punctual,she has lived in the west and is in business so has to be ,her sister on the other hand is always late,so if say we have to meet her at 12 ,I always say see you at 11.30 ,works a treat

  6. Thailand is not that bad after all, I got a speeding ticket in Bangkok and was fined 500 baht and no endorsement. Goodbye nanny state.

    On average 80 people die on Thailand's road every day in the UK it is 5

    Still ,would no longer want to live in a nanny state , we grew up in a time when you became a man ,not a child ,monitored every day of your life,

  7. Elton John is a transgender person? That would be news. Last I heard he is a proud quite male identified mature gay man. Did I miss the big announcement?

    "quiet identified gay man"

    you have not seen 'tantrums and tiaras' then? he's a typical drama queen rich b**** that documentary was a pretty BIG announcement! maybe not transgender but a mincing queen he is

    anyway he/she is a very successful and talented pop artist (getting back on topic)

    I did watch that prog ,and to be honest i had liked Elton up untill then ,but afterwards thought he was a disgusting human being .

  8. This could be an opportunity for Elton and David to buy another child. Recent TVF threads bear testament to the fact Thailand has become popular with monied homosexuals from abroad coming here to grow a rainbow family.

    Totally false information but follows the theme here of idiotically snarky anti-gay comments.

    No Jingthing

    as you know i am not anti gay , i couldnt care less what people do in their private lives , but when an old fart like Elton John who is old enough to be a grandfather can adopt kids and young couples cant ,i think its a disgrace ,

  9. About time for the flu shot, so am heading down to Vibhavadi Hospital tomorrow. I'd emailed earlier, they said they have FLUQUADRI available. Mr Google says that's a good one.

    Mac

    I just gotta this at the BKK Pattaya hospital,last year I walked in got it done for about 900 baht,this year insisted I saw the doc and got weighed ended up 1500 baht,really peed off ,won't use them again ,you can get it free at the govt hospital,but a real pain and you end up spending half a day there,went the year before last
  10. As has been said before if you are happy living like this ,great , to me it would be existing , and as we are only on this planet for a short time i soon realizec that i would never be remembered in history and they were never going to put up statues to me , so i ensured that at least while i was here i was going to make it as comfortable as i could with lots of nice things ,luckily i was able to do this , so while the money and my health lasts i am bloody well going to enjoy it , by the way our bedroom is bigger than the op,s studio .

    Yeah it definitely feels like surviving with the little fun we get in our lives but its just a stage in our life and hopefully were come out of it much better soon. I envy the richer people on this forum that have posted about their luxury life compared to mine. I'll get their soon biggrin.png

    You shouldn't envy them, they actually envy you. Your life is just starting and are already living an adventure AND creating a future.

    The (old) "rich" geezers here are mostly miserable and jealous.

    They have 3 thing to look forward to everyday.

    1. The 8.00/8.30 first ThaiVisa NewsLetter (or the afternoon one if he's a daily drunk)

    2. Breakfast out of a bottle or soon after.

    3. Which hooker/bar today? Let me check my supply of viagra first.

    OP, go for it. It seems you got a good head on your shoulder, especially considering your youth/parents situation.

    I don't know which older guys you know ,but I don't know any like that ,most live the same sort of life they do in the west , family life,shopping ,garden ,looking after the kids (if they have young ones) doing the school run etc,etc,just in a nice warm climate,with no speed camera's,traffic wardens ,and all the other drawbacks of the west, I think you read to much ,bullshit about what goes on here ,
