sipi

Can we get more pictures and videos please? It will help with us understanding...

Sorry JacChang.

It's an Australian thing. A "soapy" is what we call a "soap opera", or a boring long-running television series.

Do you feel embarrassed about eating local, spicy food, perhaps a little guilt? It could be related.

I have other crackpot theories if you would like to hear them.

Guilty? Not normally.

Other crackpot theories? Fire away....

I don't know the exact water heater, but most have an inbuilt filter. We had the same problem with our shower and the filter was blocked. It is located on the valve going to the water heater and simply needs to be removed with a half turn. It is quite small but easy to find and clean.

I am not saying this is the source of your problem, but it would be my first and cheapest choice.

Thank you. Brand new. Checked and tried without filter; pressure seemed the same. Thanks.

Good news. The filter will need to be cleaned and re-installed. Otherwise the shower-head holes will block, and they are harder to clean.

I got caught the same way.

Mr SiPi "Hey Darl. Can I have a soapy?"

Mrs SiPi "Of course Darl. Watch this"

She has been to Australia too many times.

I appreciate your help anyway Jingthing. Thanks..

Sounds like probably you have rosacea and peppers are a trigger. Very common with white people. A knowledgeable dermatologist can help but she will probably tell you to avoid all known triggers (no fun!) as well as maybe suggest topical skin medication. You probably have other triggers as well.

If it is rosacea then the blood pressure issue is separate.

Many older people have MULTIPLE issues.

Join the club!

Yes I "googled rosacea" before annoying everyone here. And it seemed to be the one. Alcohol does it occasionally. I have heard that "beta blockers" (which are readily available over the counter in Thailand as "Metropol Titrate") might help? Sometimes it just happens for fun, no idea what the 'trigger'is. But it becoming more prevalent from eating spicy food.

I have regular blood tests which come back clear.

Maybe this is the guy responsible for upsetting Costas so much. Maybe this guy got into Costas badgers or something. Hang him high.

heard another guy upset our badger friend a bit-he even "blocked"him:whistling:

dam'n x-mas

No I didn't.

How can I block my hero?

Yes, I want to spank him.......but that will come later.

May be some milking will calm him down?

Ok Costas. Where were you 6 hours ago? I needed someone with a sense of humour and English skills. I don't qualify.

Yeah.......you are an Aussie........I can understand.

Now go and have a soapy that you pretend you don't know much about.....and make sure they rub it hard for you.

And don't forget to take David with you.........poor guy.....far away in a strange land and hasn't seen the g/f for looooooong time:(

I should have added "with computer skills".

Please don't mention "David" and "Soapy" in the same sentence. I don't need to picture that.

Sipi, if you want somebody with computer skills.........I'm your man.

After more than a month still can't manage to operate that f$$$en phone I got..................

As for the computer, I'm an expert on hitting the buttons on the keyboard.......took me half an hour to write this.

It took you half an hour to get it right.

It took me an hour to mess mine up.

I'm thinking the OP has lived a very sheltered life, or this post is pretty much the definition of a 'troll post'. I'm leaning toward the later.

However, even if it's a troll, I think even the mods are mildly amused enough to let it ride.

So here's my hint for the OP:

A regular Thai massage: 200 baht

An oil massage: 300 baht

An oil massage with a 'happy-ending': 800 baht

A soapy massage in BKK: 2,500+ baht

Now, apply some analytical skills to the above information and I'm sure you'll get the drift

800 baht for a "happy ending"?

Geez, when she said "I'll screw you" I didn't think she meant financially.

Being married long term to a lady from the NE, I have always enjoyed spicy food; and have been quite tolerant of it.

But I have noticed (and so has the wife) that lately, whenever I eat even mildly spicy food, my face glows bright red. It seems unfortunately I just can't do it any more.

I am 50 years old, slightly overweight and starting to show signs of mild hyper-tension.

Is this the end of Issan food for me?

Ok gents, he got caught smoking a joint and in possession (personal use only, as far as I know). He was away on a building job so there were no kids around. We don't know the full story, but this is as close as I can get.

I thought this was the sort of thing a quick few hundred baht to the guy in the brown shirt and all is well.

I'm guessing he ran out of opportunities to "assist" the man in the brown shirt. Du is no dill, but it seems he pushed the boundaries too far this time.

I could tell you some funny stories about him. Or better still, if you met him he is a real character.

I wish you'd give us something to work with Sipi......talk about a drip feed thread.

Making up,the details can be funny.

Soon the CSU TVF db's will be along to turn this entire affair into a conspiracy....maybe one day there will be a movie made about it. I hope I get to play the part of the father.

This thread is like a conversation with my 86 year old Mother.

Conversation goes like this......."Mum" the man will come Friday to fix it, he said thats what caused the problem

"Me" what man what problem??? dunno what shes on about as usual. In her mind she has told me all about "whatever" it was.

Is SIPI 86 years old as I can make an allowance for this?

Did I mention the plumber yet? I can't remember..

I'm not sure how I can complicate it. Guy gets caught smoking dope and sent to jail. Wife tell him to suffer it out for a bit. How do I complicate that? Can you help.

about time DAD butted out, they are man and wife its up to them to sort it out, what is she 3 years old or something?

Dad was invited apparently after Du overstepped the mark too many times. Dad and Mum leave us alone.

sipi ... was it first offence for the BiL?

It does seem, to be a lengthy stay for a fairly low ball crime.

From the way I read it, the FIL has had enough of the BIL's antics. I'd imagine there is more to this story and ole DU has been around the traps a bit.

First offense.

But Yes, "been around the traps a bit" is the way to put it; literally.

Sounds like a long punishment too, but nobody knows how much he was caught with. I have read about foreigners getting caught getting off lighter as this.

As for FIL i would say stuff him this is between Dru and his wife. If he is supporting his family and his wife forgives him who is FIL to mess with it. I know that my father would never ever consider interfering in my relation no matter what my wife does

UPDATE...

Yes, Dear Por isn't as silly as he makes out. Apparently Du has been polishing more than his tobacco pipe when he is away; and Por and wife are going to let him sweat it out a bit. Wife has warned him countless times.

I told them the money was available if it was needed, and they reminded me that they aren't poor.

But he will be back, so I'm not getting involved. Yeeeaaaahhh. I can't wait.

We used the original, but that was nearly 10 years ago.

The Department are VERY helpful over the phone, believe it or not. Don't be too worried about calling them. They will give you a straight answer.

If you miss him then pay the $300 and tell your wife that you have spoken. In all seriousness.

Yes, I think we will go that way and the wife won't mind. Dad is possibly trying to put the wind up him so he will learn a lesson.

Du really is a good dad and a top bloke.

What he did was on the lower end of the scale, but illegal never-the-less and he got caught.

Please don't hang him.

Two things to consider:

1) How sure are you that's what he really did and the family isn't just lying to you- and presumably others- to save face over something truly embarassing or dangerous he did?

2) If you do bail him out, I'd try your best to do it privately between you and Du, so as not to ruffle any feathers with your wife and/or make dear old dad lose face.

Good advice. We are a close family and I can imagine Du is feeling sheepish about now. I know he smokes roll-ups but have never known of anything else. My wife or her sister wouldn't water it down, but Du might have (to save embarrassment). His wife should have access to the charge sheet I guess so it might be hard to lie.

It does seem a heavy penalty, but I know he goes away for weeks at a time working, so don't know the quantity.

I'll just let Dear Por know that the money is available when he calms down, and let him decide.

Thanks.

Maybe we don't turn this into a dope debate or Mr Mod might get angry. I mentioned it so you knew what was going on.

I am starting to realize how naive, and lucky I am; or maybe the old "gut feeling" kicked in.

I married my partner on the spot, put everything in both names, and let her know she is better of if I am dead (accidentally).

That was 9 years ago, and I am still here.

All good........

only a matter of time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god. yes, you are right. I am doomed.

When I am dead my wife and kids get everything.

Damn, why didnt I think of that.
