    So why is everywhere getting worse?
  2. BritManToo
    But they aren't the government of all western countries. They just happen to be in power at the end of civilisation as we know it. Nothing anyone, anywhere can do to change that.
  3. BritManToo
    I'm not convinced it's the Conservatives fault. Generally, the whole western world appears to be sliding downhill.

    I used to live in Glasgow .......... anywhere in Thailand is better than there! All countries appear to be oppressive these days, at least here it's sunny and oppressive. If I were really, really rich I'd probably go and live in a castle in Germany.

    Men wanting sex is entirely normal IMHO.
  6. BritManToo
    I'm surprised they are so far down the list!
  7. BritManToo
    Yeah, you're right, but 15-17 years back there was only Lonely Planet guide to get info from, and they said it was great.

    You're right, I'd leave tomorrow if it weren't for my Thai wife and kids. The problem for many of us, before we learn the reality of Thailand, we've accumulated a Thai family.

    Dude, just watch the Thai news on TV. Do you remember Colin (poty), in a wheelchair from a hit and run outside his house, then posting about one of his neighbours hacking another to death over who was buying the next beer. You must be walking around with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears singing lalalalala .........

    Yeah, best to keep thoughts like his to yourself, but I can't really state anything he said was incorrect or untrue.
  11. BritManToo
    I thought his rant was fairly accurate! (If slightly inarticulate)
  12. BritManToo
    I think Thais probably top the list for random assaults, murder and domestic violence.
  13. BritManToo
    I'll likely be dead before then.

    I'm not even sure that climate change (if it's happening) is a bad thing. I'd quite like the UK to be bit warmer!
  15. BritManToo
    Not relevant! As I pay when the goods are in my hand. Same as a cash transaction. The shop owner is responsible for the staff.
  16. BritManToo
    Don't think I've encountered any Thai that won't accept qr payment, all the market stalls, roadside stalls and shop have their qr code prominently displayed. And if they didn't I'd ask "sakan Mai".
  17. BritManToo
    I'd just call you a nutcase.
  18. BritManToo
    It's complete and utter rubbish. Downloaded ep 1&2, watched 1, will delete 2.
  19. BritManToo
    There is no option not to claim it.

    The mortgage on my her 3 bed house in Thailand (gated community) is $250/month (10kbht). I look at your low cost $1000 US housing and quiver in fear!
  21. BritManToo
    They hate us?
  22. BritManToo
    You scan the QR code, show the shop-keeper the name on the screen (check or enter the amount) and ask 'is this you?' Now explain to me how there can be fraud or theft?
  23. BritManToo
    I would define scam as paying a 400bht bill with a 1000bht note, and being given 100bht change ............... "no, you gave me a 500bht note". Probably the most common taxi/bar scam in Thailand. How many times a day can you afford to lose a tenner?
  24. BritManToo
    What's wrong with the bus $1?
  25. BritManToo
    Seemed to be 'I gave you 1000' sort of disagreement. Which was why he was saying 'show me what I paid you with'
