Old condo buildings in Pattaya. Do you live in one?
AlexRRR replied to advancebooking's topic in Pattaya
My condo building is getting close to 20 ys old, bought it early last year, being in construction prior to moving here maybe I have a better eye for detail than the average bloke, there are always tell tail signs pointing to things both good and bad. Its a 35 unit building in a very quite soi, lots of street parking available if you miss out on an undercover spot, the only thing I was disappointed with was the new paint job done prior to buying, honestly ive seen it everywhere here, the village painters cant cut in without getting paint all over the place, still it was not to bad seen a lot worse. I looked for an older building as you will spot the flaws pretty quickly, if there are problems by year 17 there well and truly intrenched or rectified, design here showed some imagination with air flow and was easy to see someone with a brain both built and designed it. Lift? they last for almost ever if maintained, yes this building had issues this year, the maintenance company was replaced and the lift is now are perrrrrrrrfect, we have a good committee there on top of stuff and im pretty happy with my purchase. -

Update on Ollie.....it's real...hes unhappy and the Dee's peed off with him....so where to now St Peter? Enough out there now to paint a picture, what to do what to do? My thoughts? well if he's causing the trouble they say he is...if the mental health is a part of it, hand ball the guy off.....like you wouldn't want him to leave but you cant have a land mine ready to go off in your team too....BUT dont sell him cheap if that's the direction your going in.... Well the press mill has been driven into a frenzy with possible trade routes and compensation....you cringe because they might be over Ollie and take just enough to do a deal elsewhere......one thrown up this morning was Crows this years 9 next years first and MaCadam....holy cow.......we got 2 first and a second rounder for Jackson and handnt even made such strides......thats why I say its cringe time....just peek out below my rock from time to time to see what's going on.....oh me oh my......cross fingers he stays or we get the draft capital he's playing career is worth...... While in Italy I Weill be visiting every cathedral and praying....and off to the Blue Mosque the second I touch town in Istanbul and pray for hours...........Praise be to the exulted one..... -

Ahh the best part of the season..........Oliver anyone? Clayton in the poos at the Dee's there saying, didnt rock up to a few events and let's not forget that video footage during his injury spell on the sideline they're using again.....Press...bless their little hearts, trying to stay relevant in the off season......Pick 4 in 2015, 4 best and fairest 3 time all Aussie, glamour boy 2 times coaches player of the year....and yet to start his 7 year million dollar a year contract....only club who could afford him is North as they have picks 2 and 3 and a bucket of next years as well.....would take 3 low rider first rounders and a bag of seconds yes? ahhhh......but hey there is noise.....they say, even Kane got in on it....well there all in on it now....so they will run with this for a few days.....Zero Hanger has even come out with 5 possible landing sports....I just told you the only club that could afford him is North.... Crows, laughable...9, 21, and 24 and next years 1st.....as a Dee list manger id be sending them a blank stare.... Cats....even more of a joke.....just pick 7 and next years....my list manger is chuckling under his breath here....but hey would be the next Selwood...buddy you would have to sell your stadium to get him..... Saints.....even worse...pick 12...and we are all assuming Dee's are looking to off load the troublesome fella...throw in King and and the next 3 ys first rounders and you might get us talking.... Ooooooo WCE......pick one would replace olie, but them 4 B&F 3 All Aussies and 2 coaches flags...umm...wheres the rest? ahh Darling...and? my list manager has begun to think... Sydney....well why not, they're always tied to the best and get them.....11 and 23 and a future first won't cut the grass fellas.... Clubs consider the cost......hahaha.....they would burn down the MCG to start with, even worse they would hang the entire coaches panel....... Simon.....unless they were able to bring in King Darling couple of mids from the Lions and my mate Yeo pls that first round pick....sim salsa bin laden..... -

Read it twice, (on Darling) all unofficial off course, hush hush......also heard the Dee's are mounting something big...well first round pick has been squashed with North getting a bucket of low rounders and there stated aim to "get it off WCE" and the Weagles saying they will listen,....meaning they want the earth...and good luck to you son...since we were trying to plug a forward gap last trade period its highly likely its on again... One of them King boys is a FA I believe next year......and Suns need draft capital this year for academy players they're keen on...sim salsa bin laden... -

Well there you go cousin Will.....I wasn't the only one thinking along the same lines, Jack I think, Darling was brought up into a news conversation yesterday....got a flag, won't be in the Eagles best 22 when there back should he look to get traded, in hushed tones the Demons were mentioned...so there you go fella.......is he any good? should I keep my fingers crossed? -

Well Kane........Jackson after 3 ys wanted (well lured with a big pay packet)to go home......and did, Crows trying to prise Petty and Sparrow home as a swap for some dud old forward...let's get real, there is a draft you know Kane.....you can trade pics etc, enough players returned to SA and WA assuming your more or almost a star other wise there not interested, if you're a half decent club and your paying enough players more likely than not will stay put, once free agency really kicks in these bit above average players will just have to go to a club that wants them like Freo wouldn't be interested in Jordan from Dees etc...so he goes north, I just dont buy into Melbourne centric for everything, good clubs win anywhere, Lions have a <deleted>house defence, there maybe bottom of the top 8 for that, they allowed the Pies to score more than 30 times by 3/4 time, the only way the Lions were going to win they needed big games from Cameron, Danaher, Hunter and Neal....at least a few made an effort, Joe if he had of kept it up in the last might've saved they...Pies truly deserved to win that game.....4 solid quarters, Cameron in a pie jumper in Hill.....sim salsa bin laden... -

Well that's how it goes hey? win a flag or two then the hunger disappears or they burn out getting old and then we start again, poor Adem coming in, the Albanian Marvel, jumped ship at the right time, I think the Tigers have got it worked out and won't slip too far, unlike the Dee's who will slip into oblivion soon then have there hands out for priority picks then being pushed to merge with WCE etc etc...the further away from Victoria the better hey...as they did with Fitzroy, anyway we cant all be Collingwood Swans even Geelong who never seem far away.... 3 flags in 4 ys....id take that.....wouldnt hear a peep out off again for years......you are just spoilt....try being a Pie supported mate, there got something like a 20% success rate in GF's...yep they win one in five on average they play in.....but hey they get there which is a lot better than my club... -
I now have the new 15 pro, not excited but so happy about the weight, can walk around now without my shorts on one side being pulled below my knee, that was the only reason I decided to upgrade from 13 pro max, $AU2000 was hard to take, was fine when I was working upgraded every two years and wrote it off at tax time, last two phones haven't been subsidised hehehe so I guess this one will need to hang around for 5 ys...
-
Can only go on what we are told by the tubers who were at the Apple event recently, they ALL said the 15 does not support fast charging, the pro does if you buy the appropriate cable...I dont care it's not something I need or use, the 120hz is bullocks too I dont game on my phone or speed read that I need it, I am only interested in reliability and how good the camera is, dynamic island, the new pro side button for on off are just gimmicks but hey the frenzied fans out there need a reason to upgrade....oh and a lighter pro phone are the attractions...

haha one for you, teach them Thai girls we are not there ATM, they do get carried away with "our" money dont they?

Give the mrs a big surprise tonight and take her out to dinner then pop into a Samsung store...spend some of that money fella, as it spreads it brings love to all....

Lack of entertainment living there in the middle of the rice fields that do look lovely around this time of year? Mate if you are like this at 50 you would have been unbearable at 30 and wont have any friends by the time your 65, and I do pity the mrs, lucky there is a language barrier hey? By the way time to off load that old Chinese tracking device you carry around, the Koreans are known for making phones since you have an aversion to Apple...

3 things to know if you are upgrading to iPhone 15
AlexRRR replied to Social Media's topic in Apple Products
What is there to matter about? -
Honestly an over the hill pensioner with nothing to do but play on words and stir up the brothers here in Asean, get real.....dont judge people by your particular low standards, I want and I can afford there for I will buy, and WE understand that the approx 30,000k iPhone is a 60hz with slow charging where the Pro range is 120hz and is fast charging capable.....for some one who is so uptight about phone specks cannot understand why you run around with an old Chinese tracking device in your pocket....

GOOD NEWS.....Yze appointed coach of the Tigers, well done son, was one of my fav players way back when, now.....we can hopefully get a few new line coaches with the balls to over ride one Simon about how we approach that forward zone..... -
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CANT READ SO I PUT IT IN CAPITALS.....JUST FOR YOU, WE CLEARLY SAID PRO MODELS.....GOT IT NOW?

It shows you like to nitpick and are on this android apple bash bandwagon, I would have like to check out the new Pixel but could not get one in my hands, only on order I was told from several BKK retailers, i loved the Samsung Note and was tempted, why 15 pro? because my 13 pro max is too heavy, after 18 months the weight off it annoys me, nothing wrong with how it works. They have replaced the stainless steel frame with titanium on the 15 pro range to make it lighter. You really need to do more research before shooting your mouth off over Apple, its well known that what Apple do they just do it better than everybody else, they don't try to be the first flip or foldable on the market and that early foldable was a piece of engineering junk, a mate of mine bought one for his wife, while he stuck with his iPhone, it was a terrible looking thing and for some unbelievable price too....well into the $AU2000's.... Apple specs on paper don't always match there competitors but that don't mean they don't work better than there competitors, they often do. Get over the negatives you have for Apple, I was considering a Pixel and in the past a Note, for me i just want a good camera hence the interest in the new Pixel, after that any high end android would be similar to an iPhone.

Now the dust has settled and im calm and got my act together I will respond..... Shocking hey? well.....we been playing that forward system for like at least 5s years now, so its the Goodwin Philosophy, hence my alarm and apprehension on the fella getting a new 2 year extension....but in fairness Simon pulled a new rabbit out of the hat a few times late in the year to get us moving, could we improve the coach with a new one? Not sure there, I actually like his commentary before and after games, slowly he is winning me over but to get me total needs to ditch the bang it forward and hope for the best result. 2021 we had a dream run with injuries and Macdonald in particular was firing, Ben Brown was doing well along with Jackson and Gawn was stepping up and kicking a few too....plus Spargo and Fritch had outstanding years. Last year was hangover year, so normal, this year? well in the wash up Ben Brown hardly made It on the park with his banged up knee, thanks Fj he only had one year in him ......rookie Van Rooyen showed some class but far from a Jackson, hey that's why 2 first round picks make it easy to take, Big Tom goers down in round 11 and out for 12 weeks but sure he's far from 2021 form, what's he bring to the team? not sure but unless he has a cracker next year im sure they won't renew his contract now pushing 30 even + expect for Tom to be like 21 again next year...like Neal Bullen this year its contract time again....so he's on just BBQ red meat again from Xmas...ho you didnt know? after Goodwin tried to off load him trade week he went on some crazy meat eating diet....Harry Petty, well I seen him as a classic centre half back but hey he did well at half forward, another injury we dint need. Looks like Adam Yze could be the coach of the Tigers if so hopefully he will take Greg Stafford with him leaving Simon to find a midfield and forward coach, what ever im sure theres going to be a shake up with line coaches this year. Do we need new tall timber? well if B Brown can get over the knee thing I think not, you need some good luck to get to the GF, unless we go after one of the King boys nothing much available, Schache just makes up the numbers on the depth roster so forget about him, and no mate would not have got a kick, can't believe they did not pick Grundy as the sub, made a lot of sense, Brown Petty MacDonald van Rooyen takes care of that I think, really its all in the delivery, what ever you do don't start me on that, in the Blues game I seen twice Viney just bang it in when he had options and in good positions to score...thats the mids, they don't look to much, I think they are under instructions to just bang it in, been going on for years.... We picked it up when Williams came on to the coaching panel, think we need a few more fresh insights there again, unless we can sweet talk some key forward not up for trade to ask for a move im in favour of going to the draft and look to the future so we can stay in contention......which in the long run gives you a real crack at a flag every 7 to 10 ys..... -
You must know something the rest of us don't know about, but it has been made pretty clear the pro is 120hz and has been for a number of years and to save battery life will adjust the refresh rate as you use it, that's Apple smarts, as for the C standard cable is not fast charge capable but you can or will be able to buy a cable suitable for fast charging, my life is not so fast I need to worry about that got along just fine for a lot of years, have simple tricks like charging the phone in the car when driving, you should try it...

The TGFs oppo died late last year, she's very happy with my iPhone XR which is going on 5 ys old until the new 15 pro turns up then she gets my 13 pro max which she's delighted about...you must only pick up the phone twice a day, though I admit the TGF lives on her phone, I swear she's given my old XR a real work out.....

At your age you should have realised that the libs and labour pretty much think the same, no mate they won't change anything in the near future and if they do it won't benefit you. -
hahah ordered mine, 15 pro, 45,900, you do get what you pay for, trashed enough Nokias and cheap androids in my day to know a quality product when I get one, since ive never had an iPhone break down on me they will keep me returning same goes for there tablets and computers, like I said you get what you pay for unfortunately can't say the same about the opposition.....
