Twice shy

I too have a v5 and also a smok pro

Not cheap but worth it as I have not smoked in months

I have found a great source for e juice back in the uk

As most of the juices on general sale are crap and tasteless

Keep trying to convert people as I bought a few as presents for Xmas for my family

And not one of them has lit a cigarette since I got them one

I wish they had came out years ago ....

have you asked christian churches to stop ringing their bells? have you asked the local wat to quit beating that drum? have you asked to pooyai ban to quit turning on the loudspeakers ? have you asked the funerals to turn off the music?

The monks appear after 6am but they just ring a super small bell which I find lovely when walking along getting there offerings ...no beating drums at 4.30 am from them

Sadly the morning call to prayer that mosques Blast out is a royal pain in the backside

But the village chief on his loud speaker in the morning can also take some beating in rural issan

My uncle climbed a pole to cut the wire to the speaker outside our house in issan to stop the chiefs early morning sermons ..by all accounts he would waffle about anything for hours at a time .again 6 am start

Thats why the card has multiple languages on it . Guard would need to be walking the beach and showing it. As guard sees said swimmer entering the water, blows his whistle and walks up with card. Maybe an illustration would need to be on it too.

Exactly - Here is the card that I'm producing, in English, Chinese, Russian, Korean and Japanese. (I'm just waiting on the Japanese translation and then I can print/laminate the cards.)

I need to check how many lifeguard posts there are in Phuket - any links to this information?

I take my hat off to you for doing something constructive

I am also sure that card you are printing up will save someone's life

I hope this idea of yours is a success

I'm sorry, as interesting as it would be to answer the question, I risk leaving myself open to further abuse.

Suffice to say that I did phone the Embassy and was told that they no longer have this facility but I should register the divorce back in the UK.

This I intend to do and also the reason I got the certificate translated and authenticated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA),

which I know will be acceptable to the authorities back home.

Even though I divorced for all the right reasons, it made me feel very sad and at a loss.

I know it was the right thing to do and these are just feelings and will soon pass.

All her Thai friends in England are congratulating her and asking 'how much she got'!

Well the answer is nothing, as she's had enough already.

And as I know from experience that's today's friends are tomorrow's enemy's, I've tried to think ahead and protect myself as best I can.

Hence my curiosity as to what others have done or do in similar situations.

I appreciate all the input from the people who obviously have a vast store of experience in this field and to them I offer my sincere thanks.

But please be mindful that we are not all clever and wise when it comes to the affairs of the heart and sometimes a gentle rude awakening is all that's called for.

My best wishes to you all and again many thanks.

Great post ....

Best wishes in the future for you

Opposite the subway sandwich shop on soi bukhow is a seven eleven

Just beside the seven eleven is a key cutter lad who will make a key from scratch for you

A joy to watch just how easy it is to steal a motorcycle ...

If that is to far away for you just ask the motorcycle taxi boys at your nearest spot

I think it cost about 500-700 baht ....

Not a hard job and took about 40 minutes for him to get it right

If someone put 25,000 km on my car in under six months without asking they would be buying the car if they liked it or not

To call that taking the piss is a understatement ...insult would be more correct

I would phone your sister in law up and personally tell her she is a first prize piss taker that has pushed to far !!!!!

Call her out ....do not take this on the chin

and how would you enforce your tough guy stance??

By telephoning the sister in law up and telling her truth

I would not call that a (tough guy stance)

More like Standing up for myself and not letting people take me for a muppet

Especially from a ignorant thai sister in law or family member

I have had it all in over 20 years of coming to Thailand

And I learned a long time ago to let nothing slip with any thai ...they will take you for a fool

And they will royally give it to you up the ass if you let them

well youve explained how youre gonna pretend to be a tough guy but you havent told me how youre gonna force them to buy the car. talks cheap. I'm all ears.

I do not need to pretend to be a tough guy ...unlike you getting wide behind a keyboard ?

How about how I explained ...by telling her to her face that she has taken the piss

And demanding financial recourse ....not hard in my world

Getting a thai to pay is another thing but I would not have gave a thai a chance to turn me over

All ears ....more like all lip ...

Now drift off and be cantankerous with someone else ...

I'm bored replying to you

Get a good lawyer this time and do not try and represent yourself in court

Get your wallet out as it looks like it is time to spend your money to protect your kid

she is the kids parent also remember and peoples situations change maybe it's time to talk

All the best

The death rate is quoted at 70-80 percent... might not be 100 percent But more than enough to change this planet

The biggest deal about Ebola is it can take upto three weeks for you to show symptoms ....

And by then how many people can you have infected ....

The western countries goverments can puff there chests and tell everyone we will be ok but I don't believe them

If this gets wide spread in Europe or the USA before a cure can be mass produced then I think human society will implode

Greed and ignorance rule the day now in society and it will be a free for all ....survival of the nastiest and cold hearted ahead

There is one thing paying sinsod for a university educated girl from a decent honest hardworking family who are not going to expect a monthly pension of the new farang husband ...basically a girl who has a normal job and life ambitions

But paying sinsod for ex bar girls or women who have been married before and have kids is a total no no

And to many farang men fall for the latter ...they should be getting payed to take these girls on not the other way about

Just my opinion and I am entitled to it after after seeing good and bad relationships in Thailand for 20+ years ...

There is good and bad in all walks of life but I have found the issan women to be the worst mothers and partners on the planet

I learned this the hard way and I ended up being a single parent for my oldest two kids as the mother just abandoned them and

Not content with that she also tried her hardest to make our life,s miserable and unbalanced ....

I have had lots of friends all farang and all ex issan wife's who had the exact same thing unfold on them over the years ...

A slightly different angle of the same group as in the OP pic is shown by Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB).

Who is that on the far left of the photo in between the policeman and the ex-witness?

OMG it is the trusty Rohingya police interpreter and legal scholar, Mr Banana Pancake, who is alleged to have participated in beating the suspects.

Well spotted dogmatix

Why the hell is he allowed into this mix of people

The fact that he is still on the scene makes me feel sick

A polish plonker, makes a change from a western plonker. I find it strange that Thais have any respect for us at all.

And what are all the Thais doing on soi 6 ?

Respect left that street a long time ago ..for both Thais and foreigners

Dream on

I am going to let you into a little secret

It not just Phuket immigration who are like this but the whole establishment in Thailand

From the top until the bottom ...

It also once pissed me off but I just learned to go with the flow as it's better for my blood pressure

He is a raving alcoholic with mental health issues by the sounds off it

If no one is giving him money were is the alcohol coming from ?

He will be getting it on credit and your family will be paying it back without your knowledge

Or behind your back whatever way you want to see it

I would be carefull around him ...that last bit comes from experience by the way

Actually in the red bull case , correct me if I'm wrong but a patsy was offered initially but the police refused that story..I guess what happened later becomes a different story again.

Correct ...a family servant was offered up as the driver first

A good insight into the hi so mentality

The same people who ruin or run this country ...depending on your thinking

The last time my house was robbed in pattaya they even stole the bathroom taps ...

Utter scum and I know for sure it was my neighbors ....

First police man to turn up was so drunk he could hardly stand up

You need a hell off a lot of weed to make oil

Sadly it is to expensive to make yourself

Also it is a class a drug in the uk so I can see it being

Very illegal in Thailand

The oil is made from the resin not the leaf. Hash oil was very popular back in the 70's, and I remember a little went a long way.

And we're does the resin come from ?

The leaf and bud ...after drying and beating it you will have pollen ie thc glands

I am not being a smart arse but I have made oil in the past

And yes it can go a long way as it is potent if made correctly

You need a hell off a lot of weed to make oil

Sadly it is to expensive to make yourself

I think what needs to be established is what Sean knows and whether he was at the scene that night. The dried blood all over the guitar looks like it cd have come from a bloodied t shirt - did he touch or move the bodies?

And i always have cuts and bruises but they are not normal run of the mill cuts

the one on his arm Looks like a stab wound ...never mind the bloody guitar

Were has this fella gone ...he made some serious allegations and they need to be followed through

Also the reason he was in Thailand was he had been found guilty of child porn offences

And his ass would have been toast had he stayed around Glasgow

A strange lad that must be properly interviewed and the sooner the better

My wife doesn't gamble or drink but despite doing a little bit of promotional work she has never worked hard in her life.She doesn't allow anyone to talk back to her and she always gets her own way. In a word..emotional immaturity.Her other fault is that when she has an argument she cannot calm down...she just gets angrier and angrier. If i continue talking to her when she is shouting she will get more and more furious. If i remain silent it's the same.If i point out that my son is nearby and can hear everything then it infuriates her more.

She tells me she is leaving, then she tells me i have to pick one of my kids to leave with, the. she tells me to get out of the house!

She doesn't squander money and her family aren't alcoholics but i keep thinking there is a way to solve this but it seems that if i do not bow down to her demands then she blows her top.

I want to be near to my kids but she wants me far away with visitation on her terms and to pay for my mistake !!!!

So after all these months you are still with her !!!

What you have is a ungrateful ignorant nut case living with you

Get a grip of your life and leave her ass behind

Time to man up
