  1. Great...just when I am thinking of going for disability......COPD.....etc.

    The last 10 years have been working in mining,paying between $1,000 to $2,000 a week tax...

    Still gonna quit my job and get the hell out of Australia while I still have some money left.

    And health.....

    Sorry,it just gets to me that I finally earn some good money and all the Govt does is take it from me......

    OK and the money you earned before they deducted your tax ? The tax concessions you would have been eligible for working in remote areas etc ? To pay that kind of tax you would have earned well over 150K a year with a take-home pay north of 100K even with the medicare levy. Right now, thats over 3 million baht - how many here would kill to be on that kind of money ?

    No argument that miners do it tough but I dont hear the FIFO guys complaining about the fact that they have enough money AND the time off to be able to enjoy Thailand and Bali on a regular basis when most of us spent years sitting in that bloody departure lounge knowing it would be 6-9 months before we could get back to Thailand. I worked in Rocky when Mackay had the biggest HSV dealership in the country and real estate agents across the region had a field day. If you were paying a 1-2K a week in tax you should have hired a creative accountant to minimise that figure - whatever your physical issues now, you had 10 years in an industry where employers were happy to keep throwing money at you - surely you had to know that wouldn't last forever. My advice is to be happy with what you've got.

    Australian tax rates:

    3rd wife......starting from scratch $0 in the bank 10 years ago.

    Never said I wasn't happy,but get annoyed when Govt keeps moving the goal posts and imposes extra taxes on people who work hard and aren't a drain on the system.

    Extra taxes like the "bring the budget back on track" levy,the "disability support" levy,Medicare levy...and lets raise the retirement age to 70 while we are at it....

    As if I'll live that long.

    Anyway,enjoy life.......

    Enjoy life .......

    Try telling abbott that , his idea of r and r is a cup water and a slice of bread for dipping , him and his churchy mates frown upon anything hedonistic .

  2. Same falangs are really realy annoying a french guy last night was really rude to the staff in 7/11 he kept semanding malboro light menthols but the lady behind the counter didnt know the color neither did he so he held up the line yelling at her till she cracked and yelled at him......

    I understand why staff are rude and dont give a shit.

  3. Nearly naked gigantic all body tattoo muscle man who feeds the deformed doggies at Friendship Market ... coffee1.gif

    Lol his facebook updates are hilarious.

    "This is a modified screwdriver.. Everyday when i walk the streets of Pattaya i hold it in the palm of my hand.. I squeeze it as i walk around.. It helps strengthen my wrists and forearms.. I walk a lot.. And as i walk Ladyboys like to grab and touch me with their filthy dirty hands.. So every time a Ladyboy lays its filthy fingers on me, i smack her in the forehead with the pointy end of my screwdriver.. It drops her like a sack of shit.. And the next time the Ladyboy sees me coming.. She always keeps her filthy dirty hands to herself.. Just another perfect day on the streets of Pattaya.. "

  4. Lets just face it the Australian government is taking away our way of life and is colluding with big business for their own benefit after politics.

    That maybe the reality as you see ... I don't see it the same way.

    Nor do I - the Australian taxpayer doesn't owe me a cent. If they're happy for aged pensioners to live exist on a pittance in Sydney and Melbourne, why should they (taxpayers) pay for the disabled to camp out in SEA ?

    Umm check your facts my friend age pensioners have this thing caled unlimited portability .........

    These northshore pollies have no idea how it is not been born with a silver spoon in mouth and as soon as they see the less fortunate getting a taste of a life above ten bed dorms and homeless free feeds they wanna take it away.

    Goto snookyvile and see how the disabled are treated there you would like see disabled begging for a buck in the street just like abbott , feel good about yourself then probly....

  5. Low season last year I befriended the thai owner in my hotel and we would eat together and chillout often ,

    I went back in high season and returned to the same hotel and sayed hello to the owner and she just acted like she had never seen me ......

    Really akward situation it dosent take much to say hello and smile even if she couldnt remember me.
