That silly comment has attracted 29 Thumbs down! Quite rightly!

So you would even lie to the Landlords you know! It's not getting better for you here, is it? Seems like there is good case for vetting Landlords as well!

Many Landlords won't ask for a reference. And if one does, you are dishonest - thinking only of yourself. A fellow Landlord is lied to. Admitting it here is showing you up!

I sleep at night and do everything else in the day A bit old-fashioned if you ask me!

Only one side of a conflict being heard is never a way to make judgment. So I don't make one!

Good that they are not inflated prices, but there is nothing in that list I would buy! And no, I am not puritanical about what I eat!

You were not scammed, what you mean is you were ripped off - not the same thing at all!

Do you think that definitely a thousand times cheaper is a tad - downright rubbish?"

The truth is that it matters not if Chinese, Thai or anyone else It matters not if they are tourists or residents It matters not what country one is in There are high spirits and there are.hooligans and those that disturb the peace with reckless abandon often through drinking too much. These incidents happen all over the world Short of serious consequences of such disturbances, offenders should be appropriately dealt with and everybody moves on!

I have already responded this in another part of the thread

Richard, Your first sentence has no merit. I am surprised at you - you are better than that! The photo doesn't need to show gloop - that is very silly! It needs to give us an impression of a few patients waiting for attention, especially in an emergency room!

This thread doesn't need gods for two reasons: They do not exist And Buddhists by definition are Atheists

Why the silly photo of a hospital emergency room involving 3,000 people? no staff and one possible patient playing on his phone! How can this possibly have any bearing on the story??

This is YOUR personal experience and doesn't in any way reflect on Thai people generally!! In more than 20 years living here in various parts of Thailand I have no such experiences and for a lot of that time I have been in communities with few farangs. I can't imagine how a few of the people on this forum seem to attract the worst in others! Well, I can, actually!!

Not always!!

Unfortunately, you don't even know what an Atheist is. Why don't you look it up? It means ONLY not believing in a deity. That is it; it doesn't mean believing in nothing or anything else in particular. What it probably means is that reality doesn't pass us by!

This problem isn't new, I have lost out on increases for 15 years. What is NOT recognised by the UK Government is that the elderly are much more likely to consume National Health resources that would actually cost THEM more if we stayed there! Yes, Pensioners living abroad actually saves them money! If you lived in the Philippines, increases are paid in line with UK citizens!

Why do you accuse and then ask in the next breath, what does the term mean? First of all, it is NOT racist. it is the colloquial word for a person from Liverpool, England. They may or not support Liverpool, as Everton football club is in Liverpool too. As a by the way, they are also called "Liverpudlians" When using the term, "scouse" or "Scouser" it is used more facetiously (sarcastically funny) , but not usually in a hostile or derogatory tone. Of course, you could have enhanced your own general knowledge by looking it up yourself!

The decision is MINE wherever I am and that includes the USA As far as I am concerned a tip is offered when I receive a little more than the call of duty!

You probably mean for humanity. Makes no difference All life on earth is basically Self-preservation and self-perpetuity For humanity specifically, there is individual and societal purpose There is NO divine purpose - that is patently false

And of course in Pathaya or Phuket

I think first of all, there needs to be a confirmed diagnosis of the problem. There may be damaged tissue that the right shoes won't fix. Sheryl is right, arch supports are a very good idea for flat feet. After appropriate treatment a proper pair of shoes that offer support are good, not just for the feet but can help with hip pain and in many cases relieve back pain. Speciality shoes like Dr. Scholl are excellent. However, I have no hesitation in recommending Skechers that I and my wife have been wearing for a few years. Most Shops selling them offer at half price and are truly great value. I have had flat feet all my life. Over the last year I have walked, as in exercise, more than 2,000 kms with no I'll effects whatsover.

How does it get to 80% before we hear anything and somebody now wants to do something about it? Hardly the best preparation for soldiers is it?

I am very glad to say I have no idea what the price of illegal drugs is

You are right, I owe you one. Harris Fan was the whinger about sad emojis but was for him very much deserving. It wasn't you, sorry!
