Do you really say that word all the time?

 

I just don't let other people scam me. I don't think about being a victim or mention that word.

I think that word is now severely overused.

If someone was kidnapped, that person was a victim. Someone who paid 100B too much is something different. 

Yes. but you are forgetting the mental hurt that those believing to be victimised are enduring and how they feel so offended. You are so insensitive. In the old days a "f**k off" would have sufficed.😉

The constant beeping of horns for no reason in Cebu City annoyed me.

 

I actually went out to the 711 one morning at 3am and about to cross the road when I seen a guy in a convertible no roof on beep his horny continually , not a single other car around ...but they are programmed in their mind to constantly...beep !

So as I was walking across the road I stopped and told him.

There's no other cars around why are you bloody beeping your horn? You stupid C

And he said, "Why are you asking for a thick lip?

Thankyou.

You are obtaining a 12 month extension.

What financial requirements are you using. Money in bank or income.

Which immigration office? 

12 month extension. Bt 800,000 in bank. Jomtien.

What are the document requirements to renew O retirement visa.

She wouldn't iron his shirts, it drove him crazy and so he tried to putter in hospital. Wood anyone have done the same?

That was the thin end of the wedgei.

The best thing I did was to start doing my 90 days report online a few months ago. I sent mine it at 0825 this morning and received approval at 1235. I've never had a problem with it. Next week I'll be doing my retirement extension at Jomtien. I hope my experience will be just as hassle free. Fingers crossed.

Having a teacher from either London or Manchester, or both, or an American teacher, or all three, is good for students.

The classroom should reflect the diversity of the real world.

 

We do not live in a world filled by people speaking only one language, or one dialect, and with only one accent.

I enjoy listening to different accents.

But, I think I am most partial to the speech patterns of The Fine People of Ireland.

 

Does anyone recall that great film:

 

 

Filmed in Ireland, it was....

 

 

The Irish brogue of Barry Fitzgerald.But certainly not in Belfast.

Looking at that timing cover bike looks mor like a BSA 650 A10.

Correct. I used the picture to show the sidecar. I had a 650 Triumph 6T Thunderbird with a sprung hub.

I’m guessing that’s another AI fail.

Tragically?

What's missing is the fact that this guy was a felon, and already barred from possessing a firearm.  The cops that were killed included members of a "fugitive task force", and they were tasked with arresting him for a firearm violation.  Which a typical American sees as proof that gun laws only keep guns from law abiding citizens.

 

And from a pragmatic standpoint, with more guns than people, anybody who believes that they can confiscate all (300 million +) guns (especially from the bad guys) is sadly deluded.  This incident is proof...

 

Get rid of thug culture in the USA, then come back and we'll have a discussion about the average American agreeing to give up our ability to defend ourselves.  But it ain't gonna happen.

 

'Get rid of thug culture.?' I think you have to start from the top.

If a burglar knows the houseowner has a gun, he will most probably carry one himself. In the UK, If he carries a gun to burgle a house or raid a bank he will be in deep brown stuff if he is caught.

 The UK and Australia are islands and also don't have the history of gun-ownership that America has.  The cases don't compare. 

 

Banning guns in America would lead to only the criminals having guns.  It wouldn't work.

But as I understand it many of the shootings are from legally owned guns and NRA are rubbing their hands together. All very sad..

OK

I'm jealous.

That's a nice head of skin. All it needs is a spit and polish in the mornings. You're in fashion. Quiffs went out ages ago.

Back in those days cars were a lot less reliable and there were very few of them on the road so it's quite likely true to say a motorcycle combination was the safest thing on the road, but not any more.

 

By the way. Like the 1960's blow wave.

Cheeky boy.😀
