  1. It got a lot of creaky knees going, I bet half called in sick afterwards.
  2. Why are you justifying......and who cares?
  3. Look after number one, it's the same everywhere, your country is nothing, it will chew you up and spit you out, I can't fault these doctors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUZNynYXzM
  4. Just shows how good the doctors are.....they are also good economists.
  5. Well all I can say is BMW still payed me my Christmas bonus as a pensioner.
  6. I lived there, Munich, for nearly 40 years and have a German daughter and grandchild there, she tells me life is normal, just the way it was before all the news about Germany's collapse. The shops aren't boarded up like in London and the restaurants and pubs are full, recently she had trouble finding a parking space to the ski lifts the place was so full.
  7. In a way the net contributors are just circulating tax money, the net takers then buy the products from the contributors and so the money returns, in addition new industries slowly arise in the poorer member states, see Poland for instance, once with a lower standard of living than East Germany and now the fastest growing economy in Europe, they, unlike the UK, can afford a large modern army for instance, they are getting richer through their own efforts now while the UK's average citizens are getting poorer.
  8. Oh you can wait a long time, you aren't an expat, you are a tourist with an extended visa, you can bring no pressure to bear because you have no rights so you can be legally milked. You can always leave of course but others will take your place, falang are a never ending stream of income, why should the state do anything to diminish the flow.
  9. Well he won't grow old now. Some people turn their brains off when they land in Thailand.
  10. Can't come soon enough. I'm sure most people in the UK now see Brexit was a mistake.
  11. Family friendly image has been upheld, after a few days in hospital he will be as good as new.
  12. She's a big girl and he's as dumb as they come.
  13. As opposed to, let's finish the job and totally destroy the world.
  14. The bar fine goes to the owner
  15. Our experiences are all the result of causal events, how we deal with them, in a good or bad way, are also causal, free will is limited by causality. Very very simply put, a poor man trying to feed his family in an emergency will chose to steal a man with sufficient funds wont.
  16. Dressed like a lot of farang in a town, I can't understand it, in the Isaan market town where I live the majority of Thais who shop in Tesco are decently dressed, the men in long trousers and shirts, the women smartly dressed and as a contrast about 50% of the falang men I see in there are dressed in shorts and a vest wearing flip flops often unshaven, simply slovenly. It's not as if they're poor, in the car park I see them getting into big new SUV's, it seems they've brought the deprived council estate mentality with them.
  17. Maybe she thought, 'looks as if I'm going to get lucky'
  18. I agree, when Charly, my Great Dane, was alive nobody, not even friends who knew him, dared enter the courtyard, let alone the house if I wasn't present and tradesmen demanded he be shut indoors before entering to do work in the garden, a sensible precaution as one day a man helping me to lift a fridge to take it away for repairs found himself on the floor with his arm gripped firmly in Charlies mouth, he had suddenly leaned in to quickly and too closely to me, luckily no damage was done, no blood drawn as he was wearing something like a sturdy long sleeved boiler suit. Nothing like a Great Dane for safety but apart from being expensive they only live for 7 years, great companions and good with kids.
  19. Yes they do but looking at my son's homework they seem to start later than we did with trigonometry and algebra.
  20. So she didn't struggle and ask for help at the hotel desk?
  21. Things should be looked at in the correct perspective, I'm sure you won't be disappointed, there will be enough people saying, 'typical Thailand' later on.
