Says the introvert who isn’t coming anyway. ...erm... because you radiate social repellant...

The article is bang on the money....

Flipping lunatic of a Granny !!! Where are the posters who quote "Nice people the Thais"... yes, more often than not they are, but there is so much disproportionate unhinged violence such as this... much of it goes unreported in the Western language media, much of it unreported at all... I know of two murders on one of the Soi's nearby (Thai on Thai)... separate events - none reached any reports in the Thai media..... There is a lot that happens that simply isn't reported... ... Unless its a 'neighbourly noise dispute' which for some reason always attracts the news... seems they are popular to report on.

It's another baiting thread............. Its so transparent - I really don't know how he gets away with it and has not been banned...

Why would they ??? We drive to Hua Hin (From BKK) its 200kms... no need to stop... Koh chang Pier is 320 kms.... we've done that without a stop plenty of times.

Easy solution - kick him off the BOLT platform... So that passengers know they won't be replying on unhinged mental cases... One of the reasons to use BOLT and GRAB in the first place (Bike and Car) is to avoid these nut-cases...

We know which one will be Malcy's !!

Yup - they look ridiculous... And anyone with face tatts certain sets of alarm-bells... But really, is that any reason to reject him ??? - antiquated thinking, he could be a decent guy. There are certainly folk around with no facial tatts that are despicable toxic poisonous characters... just think of those pests who admit to drink driving on here... likely far lower on the morality ladder than this guy. What next - preventing entry for people with neck tattoo's ?? For the record - I have no tattoos, but certainly don't pass judgement on those who do - I think he's been treated unfairly.... this is almost a form of bigotry...

yawn – your tired little “mansplain” jab is about as fresh as your feet.... Right up there with your worn-out “three hits” routine – both stale, both desperately overused, both utterly devoid of originality. You're not clever. You’re a rerun. And as for this deluded fantasy that you’re the sort of person anyone might choose to grab a pint with? Most would rather drink battery acid and talk to a sock. You radiate social repellant.

Right on cue...

You come here solely to provoke – it’s as transparent, and most of us can see right through it. Then, right on cue, you slip into that tired little routine – wriggling for moral high ground, cloaking yourself in weak platitudes and the laughable defence of “plausible deniability.” It’s not clever, it’s not subtle – it’s predictable. Painfully so. Most people don’t even bother engaging with you anymore. You’re either ignored outright or quietly muted – not out of fear or defeat, but because watching you perform the same tired bait-and-squirm act is just dull. You’re not a provocateur. You’re a loop.

Exactly. Stiddle dislikes me because I’ve dismantled his “viruses don’t exist” drivel so many times he probably winces every time he sees my username. Frankly, even his fellow anti-vaxx fantasists must raise an eyebrow – assuming they have enough brain activity left to manage basic facial expressions. So no, we’re not best mates. I’ve ridiculed his nonsense too often for that. And rightly so. That’s the point, really – stupid people and trolls hate being exposed. They puff up, they squeal, they play the victim... but deep down, they just can’t stomach being held to account by someone who isn’t buying into their nonsense. Call them out, and suddenly you’re the problem. Classic trolling.

Between Harrisfan, yourself and couple of other trolls - thats most of the dumb toxicity covered... .

Thats his point - he truly believes he's a hard man... and has come up with such comical remarks numerous times in the past... ... I heard the "there will be three hits" comment in the school playground decades ago - next time I see it , Malcy is using it to try and prove out hard he is !!!... So pathetic.

Let’s not play pretend here.... don’t go lumping yourself in with the rest of the forum. You’re not some innocent bystander. You’re a card-carrying member of the troll guild – one of the deeply embedded parasites who thrive on pointless provocation. You – and those equally vacuous dimwits are the only ones I bother wasting venom on. It’s just pest control.... There are plenty here with whom I engage in reasonable, respectful discourse – people who deserve it. But your type.... nope... Nice try... I'm surprised you haven't used your tried "three hits mantra"... But really, you are inviting people whom you clearly dislike so you can have a 'face-off'... the true measure of your vapid mentality... weak indeed....

By all means, count me in – so long as we can maintain proper social distancing and keep the cretin contingent quarantined on their side of the room. Preferably behind glass. Triple-glazed. I’m genuinely concerned some of you might be contagious… or perhaps just missing the ‘agious’ part altogether....

When you ask "Is it because you like to constantly put us all down?" – let’s clarify something. If by “us” you mean a sordid minority of trolling cretinous halfwits , then yes – the answer is glaringly obvious. But if you’re trying to speak on behalf of the forum as a whole – don’t flatter yourself. Most decent users wouldn’t want to be caught dead in the same bracket as you, let alone lumped into some tragic collective “us” that reeks of shared victimhood and mutual trolling. So pick one: are you speaking for the sewer rats, or pretending to represent the house you infest? Oh come off it… the interest in whatever this little fantasy is hovers somewhere between nil and non-existent. But what really gets the giggles going is you – genuinely thinking you’re some kind of unifying force. You? The social glue? ..... truly delusional.... The idea that people would flock to your banner is hysterical. You’re not a leader – you’re the bloke shouting into a bin, convinced it’s a microphone. Its tragic.

invaded by who? Vapid cretins with no social morality...

Look mate, if you are not brave enough to come out behind your keyboard and front up to the party in person then you don’t belong on this thread. Stand down. Why anyone would willingly orbit the festering swamp gas of your existence is a mystery only rivalled by the cretinous wasps who might entertain such thoughts to attempt such a gathering of limp wristed boomer fops. I can practically see it: you, strutting about like some tragic pound-shop alpha male, chest puffed, doling out imaginary awards to yourself while a sad gaggle of social lepers nod in approval, mistaking pity for popularity. Five people show up and you'll claim some sort of victory !! And the delusion doesn’t stop there. No, you have to go full messiah complex – suggesting others are cowards for not grovelling in your presence, as if your approval is some prize worth pursuing. You’re not intimidating, you’re just not respected – you’re the online equivalent of a damp tissue with delusions of grandeur. People like Trans and many others don’t steer clear because they’re afraid. They avoid your pathetic little pantomime because they’ve got no interest in parading themselves before crusty, keyboard-stained trolls who treat every glimpse of humanity like ammunition for their next attempt to trigger and provoke.

I know plenty of people who have moved from the UK recently. A lot of it is to do with the taxes. Much to do with schooling - where parents can work anywhere (online) and they chose places like Thailand and place their children in International Schools here rather than a Private School in the UK where prices have increased by 20% due to VAT. There is also a safety facet: whereby their 'area' no longer 'feel' safe (from a confrontation point of view) - moving deep into the countryside is an option, but overseas is safer from getting mugged etc - but still, other factes of safety remain a significant issue. Competition for selective Grammar Schools is now through the roof (1 place per 1000 applicants in many cases). Comprehensive schooling (state school) standards have diminished - Thailand now attracts people due to the Quality of International Schooling here. Cost of living has skyrocketed in the UK... and silly taxes are being added all the time (i.e. TV licensing being made compulsory even if you don't have a TV and watch Youtube on a computer). Housing crisis as the poor struggle for homes, the lower middle-income cannot get mortgages and houses are being used to place illegal immigrants (there are more illegal immigrants in housing in the UK than there are homeless now). Of course, a lot of those comments are generalisations - but yes, if I was was truly Wealthy, the UK would not be my choice... but then again, the UK Countryside is wonderful in the Summer and Christmas is very pleasant in the UK... .. So, perhaps just the 90 days per year then !!! Effectively - there are Two UK's - the Cities and Large Towns.... and the quiet Countryside - the quiet countryside is safe, peaceful, beautiful - but how long before that gets invaded... Crime is already rife though - everything has to be locked up.

Think about it.. just a little... You reckon the drive shaft had a housing or Super-strength kitty was spinning at 2800pm ?

Indeed... in the pub section, it makes for an entertaining read and far better than the provocation and trolling of some of the more insipid cretins whose sole purpose it is to trigger and wind-up as many people up as possible... "an amusing morning read over a cup of coffee / Tea" is a perfect way to describe these threads....

"still kicking" - quite apt given the subject matter... Sorry for your loss of such a close friend, thats going to happen to all of us at some-point - life can suck, at the same time it reminds us its so valuable. Glad you are not seriously hurt... bruises heal... onward and upward... have a single malt and a raise a glass to good fortune... (that the accident wasn't worse)....

For whatever reasons - BluePort in HH has died a death and Market Village Remains more popular... Anyway - the Op is asking for coffee - lots of options in BKK... from buying espresso grid and having the coffee slightly muddy... to getting the coffee ground himself at a higher end supermarket.

Always had a washing machine and a drier here - especially in a Condo in BKK.. and now in a house.... Its just so much more convenient... particularly in wet-season... ------ Back in the day - going back 20+ years I used to have a service that would come and pick up laundry and return it a few days later ironed and folded - they charged by the KG.... Then had apartments which had a washer drier - and a maid took care of all of that... Still does - the only difference is that now I can never find anything... ------- Its places like this (pic below) that are popping up everywhere... Its more to do with the 'attraction' of low interest rates offered by the franchises to draw in the franchisee than it is any actual market demand I think...
