What was your job (profession) when you moved to Thailand
ChrisKC replied to still kicking's topic in General Topics
I studied Psychology but completed only half the course I am now qualified as just a Psycho! Actually, I never had a profession, Worked on the Railways for about 15 years from Messenger Boy to Senior Officer 1, that;s 6 promotions involving working in a few places around England, Went into Sales of Office equipment before going to College again, failing there again to complete my course in Anatomy and Physiology. This enabled me to get a much better job that a full qualification as an Occupational Therapist would have provided. 5 years in that helping disabled people learn to drive with hand controls and getting in and out of a car with specialised wheelchairs. Very rewarding job, I enjoyed so much Then for 15 years in my own business in greetings cards, half of which time employing 5 people in England and 8 more in Portugal where I covered the country. In my large Grade 2 listed building I also managed a bed and breakfast business -Yes I was very busy. At the same time my English wife was a Speech Therapist over almost all the time of my working life. -
My own system of home cooking relies on plenty of vegetables that I buy often in the market or Supermarkets. When catering for one and maybe the "chore" and time of preparing something for a main course every day. the vegetables are already in a kilo bag from the store and much of how I prepare blanche, bag up in single sized portions and frozen. Only takes 5 minutes from frozen to plate - want more detail, PM me. I also buy fresh chicken, prawns or fish and those go in the freezer until I need them. I am always happy to make my own style of (basmati) rice or potatoes and sometime spaghetti for which I have the appropriate sauces including Indian, though I often make my own and again go in the freezer in bulk - portioned up! In addition, I buy from a Frenchman friend ready-made lasagnes, burritos and taco meals that I simply heat up in the microwave and prepare some of the frozen vegetables to accompany them - quite delicious. That isn't my complete regular diet - I do eat eggs, mushrooms or tinned fish for quick snacks and lunch

Its a shame you could not relate to the old times and memories you had, to share with us Then you were little more than children. It isn't very nice to think now, more about how ugly they are rather than what happened to some of them during the previous 50 years! Now all of you have had a long life - everyone of them and you have changed from how you all looked; what they may have aspired to do; to wonder about the great diversity of you all compared with the similarities of school life! You are all effectively strangers. I am in contact with two of my school mates from 65 years ago - we remember each other and a couple of experiences between us that we can reminisce on.

airasia cancellation when can u get a refund back????
ChrisKC replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Its disgusting everywhere for an accepted legitimate claim, having to wait an inordinate amount of time to receive a refund - if at all in some cases! Even if it took only five minutes to effect the refund, that would still be 300 times longer than the time it took to pay it and for the sum to leave your bank! -

Pit bull attack in Bangkok market sparks safety concerns
ChrisKC replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Not completely true, There are plenty of people that claim their pit bulls wouldn't hurt a fly, but..... The real truth is that they are unpredictable! The oft-exaggerated claims of "killing machines", I agree with you. I have been bitten twice by dogs that were not pitbulls, and would argue that is more about the Owners than the breed, and they are not banned. But in countries where pitbulls are banned is because of their unpredictability. I guess you think they shouldn't be because your opinion is more important than the facts! Thailand should wake up accordingly!! -
Not much left of Thai trivial related topics
ChrisKC replied to Hummin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Could you give us some examples? -
Hello Mike, I first started the Everyman in 1965, from then on I did Daily Telegraph nearly every day for more than 30 years, graduating to The Times, but I only ever completed one without help. From the beginning of this year, I decided to go back to the Everyman online and I have completed every Sunday since then. I can finish in about one hour. Occasionally I need to research something to confirm I am on the right track. Thank you for the compliment.

Low blood pressure for just one day?
ChrisKC replied to still kicking's topic in Health and Medicine
My suggestion is a visit to your Doctor. I occasionally get low readings (never with any obvious effects) but always, I take three or four readings to find an average - for me that is very successful. For you to have a (single measure?) low reading enough for a recognised symptom of dizziness - in your case collapsing to occur, is something you don't want to be alone with. Sudden, albeit random, low measures require an explanation if there is one, and as Sheryl mentioned, maybe a medication adjustment will help! -
