Just a very sad story - a tragedy waiting to happen.

I had the same problem (See my post a few above this one), but I like your solution better!

"..........and understand it will be done using biblical scripture." Not down our wat! way! The teachers I know are mostly farang volunteers and I don't know one religious freak amongst them.

I once heard id described as 2 schoolboys in a playground arguing about who had the best imaginary friend!

Should that not read "mythical bean"? Or maybe mythical "has been"? I think you meant "being"! 🙂

There's a right time and a right place, and preaching Christianity to novice Buddhists in a Buddhist temple is neither.

At his age his parents were probably calling him "thou" not "you", and at that time were the majority of Aussies parents' not the offspring of convicts anyway? 🙂

Nah, send him back to Oz where he'll probably get his meds for free in an old folks home. He's obviously not a hardened criminal, just an old man who needs a bit of support.

I had some similar Bible thumpers/Mormons/Jehovah's Witnesses at my door a great number of years ago trying to convert me. One of them said "But you must have believed in Jesus at one time?" I replied, "Yes, and I also used to believe in Santa Claus! Goodbye" and went to close the door, but he stuck his foot in the way, saying "But......" and he got no further because I said "Take your foot off my doorstep or I'll break it - now b****r off and don't bother me again." My Scottish wife at the time commented "There was no need for that, you could have just said you were busy, and didn't have time to talk to them". I replied "Yes, and what excuse would you use when they came back again? No, this way they won't bother us again" We never got bothered again - bloody pests!

He wasn't thinking of the consequences - that's for sure!

As an "ex uk Customs officer" you would have a better grasp of the English language!

Yes- ridiculous state of affairs!

If you bothered to read the full post you would see that you are talking about the wrong person altogether:- "In a related incident, professional footballer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was charged with attempting to smuggle £600,000 worth of cannabis through Stansted Airport." I guess that's how rumours start!

"Not sure why you are getting all confrontational about it..." Because that's his style - that's what he does!

What a wally!

Forgot the comma, mate!

Nah, I don't sphinx so - just chit chats chasing mossies.

Well, mine is half full, and I can't see any writing on the wall!

So your glass is half empty then? 🙂

I preferred it in the early 80's when I got 73 THB to the British Pound!!!

"The woman is often seen using drugs under the cover of a yellow umbrella, and she reportedly urinated and defecated near drainage pipes, which tarnished Pattaya’s tourism reputation." It would take a lot to further tarnish it, but this article will help!

I am surmising differently - "We won't pay you, but sometime in the future we'll give you a share in the company" I wonder how many suckers have fallen for that one?

"Rather than receiving a standard salary, he was promised a future business partnership in the company." Yeah, right!

Don't worry sweety - Daddy knows best and will sort it out!

Can't think of anything much better to do on a tuk tuk while stranded in heavy traffic due to heavy rain! 🙂
