Lasted less than a month.

Initial trust given is in the eye of the beholder.

And beauty in the eye of the beerholder.. I know a guy who rented an apartment for him, gf & her kid. Then he decided to go back o/seas for a month or two. He had bought nothing of value for the place but locked it up & sent her back home upcountry til he got back & unlocked again. Then got her back down again when he returned.

I guess some guys have made a mistake but I have always been lucky (except for an Eastern European who didn't want to leave.) Trust has to start somewhere. With me, here it would be shortly after 3-4 weeks depending on how much of value I had in the place.

I also know some who send the g/f home to mother when they go back overseas.

Depending where they live seems to have a lot to do with that.

All in all it does not seem such a bad idea to send them to their parents. They have family, food and the security of relatives around them - If they stay there of course.

I always understood a man is as old as the woman he is feeling. That means when I was here last time I was 36. This time around I have been ages 26, 36, 40 and 37.

And all younger than my real age of XX years.

You almost sound proud . . .

If you really MUST try to impress people, let us know when you've repeated that "feat" in your home country.

Humour bypass?

From 100 kph?

Maybe you are after a big bike cheap?

There are a few places doing the small 125 cc type bikes at 2,000 Baht a month.

I got an extra large catflap fitted.

Yes....... I am joking.

Extra large pussy?

Buy a safe for anything special in the interim & give her/him the room key.

If it starts stealing kick it out & change the lock(s)

Never been stolen from once they moved in

Only one relationship I had where she was pilfering from my wallet. Not much each time and I only noticed because one night I'd known how much out of a 1,000 Baht note I had spent.

I kept a tally every night after that. Average per week was only around the 500 Baht mark, but enough to lose the trust and kick her out. The amount was not the problem but that she took the money and denied doing it. I'd not have found a problem giving her a little extra if she had asked.

The wife let me have my own key straight away ,i am even allowed out on my own ,sometimes i even go to the bar for a drink with friends ,and there are ladies serving drinks there!!

You lucky devil. Allowed out on your own???

Do the local 'jungle drums' beat in her ears to let her know where you have been? (That is usually the case with me)

You would need full throttle and a run up to get 1 of those heavy skis up a beach and into a chair. Let go the throttle and they slow pretty fast so to do what he did can only be the actions of a moron....the same you see on youtube driving cars through shop windows when they panic and nail the throttle instead of the brakes etc....

I was on beach road yesterday and the water was literally a few feet from the deck chairs, less than 6 feet.

Yes, panic can set in when you lose control and this could be part of the reason for the accident.

This idiot seems to have had little common sense to be riding in a cordoned off area and amongst bathers. To me, he appears to be the one at fault.

80+ years is a good innings. I hope he had lived the life he wanted.

I've heard about these types of relationships where the woman is never allowed to go anywhere without the guy, and if the man leaves the house without her, she must stay in the house. I guess they're afraid she'll immediately go to someone else?

Some people don't want a relationship. They want a hostage.

I had heard stories of this before too. That is akin to keeping your partner in a prison or like some pedigree pet that is taken for a walk now and again.

Until last night I had never met a person refusing to give their partner a key.

I can appreciate the trust issues. No-one wants to be robbed of their possessions and it can take different people different lengths of time to reach an adequate trust level, but to basically control a person like this, I feel they must have some real issues.

For me, I think that if the partner is going to leave, cheat on you or steal or do whatever, they will usually find a way to do that. As to the leaving part, why keep them under lock and key if they do want to leave? I cannot see what it achieves.

You are here (in Thailand) a long time, maybe permanently. You find a woman / man who moves in with you.

How long before you give them a set of keys to the house /Condo ?

1 month?

3 months?

1 year?

Never?

Why? Is it down to trust / mistrust? Is it your place and you want to control her movements? Or do you trust her and give her a set of keys quickly knowing you can change the locks?

I ask because someone I was talking to tonight refuses to hand over a set of keys to his live in girlfriend after 4 months together. He locks the doors each time he goes out of the condo and that includes locking the barred door outside the room. Surely that is dangerous? A fire /hazard risk?

Personally, after a month together I have handed over a set of keys. Trust has to begin somewhere. And the locks can easily be changed if needed.

Will the potholes ever be fixed? Not in the UK they are not.

Will the Thai police have ANPR? I doubt it. What good will it do them?

You have to realise that Thailand is living so far behind the west it is incredible. And the Thai people do not really want all this technology and stuff. Many are happy with the way things are.

Camelot 2011 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1672189/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Blood, violence and sex.

Jekyll 2007 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497298/?ref_=nv_sr_1

A good twist on Jekyll and Hyde

Loads of other stuff, some old and some new.

A willing, able and exciting partner. Add to that, trust and love for long term sex with the same partner.

For a one night stand, something sexy, different and exciting that your lust cannot deny.

What nutter decided Ebola is a cause for car production to slump? Ridiculous.

Well done to the court on its decision.

May the family now be happy and secure together.

I too do not know of any Thai jokes. Yet I do know they have a great sense of humour. Many a time I have sat with family and said some tongue in cheek things that have had the older ones laughing.

As I recall, a lot of Thai people I have known love things like slapstick comedy and cartoons such as Tom n Jerry.

To me that says they must have humour and jokes, just that we rarely ever get to hear Thai jokes and if we do, we may not 'get it'.

But the Junta is all about happiness. Those students and this journalist are obviously very unhappy people, hence the need for them to be taken away and re-programmed to a 'State of Happiness'.

He sounds like a really nasty piece of work.

On the docks, Patsycat?

No.... I'd better not say anymore, I like being alive

I've been through many a dock in my time a a sailor.....

Lingerie.
