Thingamabob replied to MrPancake's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's called the profit motive. People will always try to make the most they can. Entirely up to the customer to accept, or walk away. -

NY judge issues gag order on Trump in hush money trial
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Calm down old chap, you appear over-excited by this topic. I would only add, as a Brit, that I would try to avoid the US justice system like I would try to avoid the plague. Coincidentally I would also add that, in spite of all the efforts to gag Trump, my bookmaker is offering odds on for a Trump win on November 5. Cheerio. -
I have enjoyed my time in Thailand, but...
Thingamabob replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
First came to Thailand in the early 1960s. Visited many times, lived and worked here 1983 -1987, married my Thai wife in 1990, retired to Thailand in 1993. Now in old age I still enjoy living here. Things have changed, of course, but the climate is still warm, the food is still good, and Thai people are still friendlier than most others..and I still have my lovely Thai wife. I will never leave. -

Never met him. I used to enjoy his Nite Owl column and found it a useful guide as to where and what was going on in Bangkok's nightlife, which was great fun in those days.
