I thought it was Frank Sinatra? WINE WOMEN & SONG 🍷

It wasn't a good decision Now you have NO property to go back to ???

Whats that saying and please in all your fine wisdom please correct me And who said it ? WINE WOMEN & SONG

You can't afford to leave ???? This is why I think it's better NOT to sell all your assests in farangland KEEP your house there !!!

Wow ! 😲 😮 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Congratulations and respect to you Sir 👏

Absolutely! Times have changed,some live in the past ....this forum is for all South East Asia I have calmed down a lot and not angry as much about this

Why only Thailand? What about expats in the Philippines, Cambodia,Vietnam ? They not worthy ? Isn't this the ASEAN forum for ALL South East Asia expats? Discrimination Bob !! I'm angry today about this

I actually met a guy in Pattaya who told me he retired from the UK civil service at 55 and regretted it ,said he wished he had gone to 65 All this media hype about retiring ,like we should ! Did you regret retiring? Is there anything wrong with someone who doesn't retire say at 60 or even 65? I'm thinking of just working and taking 2 X trips a year to Asia instead of retiring Many countries have now no set retirement age Do any of you still WORK past 60? Are you happy to WORK?

Philippines put 🍍 pineapple in their spaghetti

True 😁😂 I noticed that , probably all the American fast food places .

Thankyou and it takes a man to admit they have never walked up & down the Manila subway at night like I did 👍many others won't admit it

And the question remains though... How long should we stay in ONE place on our vacation/holiday before one gets bored ? 6 weeks in Pattaya bored me ,I had to take side trips ! Hua Hin for how long ,a week??

And yet you have never walked the Manila Subway at night have you ! Admit it ! I done 2 nights at around 11pm walking back n forth !

I was working with a casual employee last night sweeping the hospital grounds He was an old guy who mentioned about how he was renovating his house I told him I didn't know how to do renovation or even use a drill . That I called a Airtasker guy out to put my wooden bed together I bought from IKEA The first thing he did was laugh at me " a real man knows how to use a drill "" , he then immediately backtracked , " oh I don't mean it a bad way he said laughing Later I ignored zealous tart like this,off went my conversations with him and my ear phones on🙉🎧 But it's been on my mind all day !! Even I saw a post on ASEAN today where a guy a former NURSE in his working career was writing he was doing plumbing, renovation etc in his spare time at his house ! That made me angry😮 because I think of male nurses as feminine , so I'm thinking of he does ,should I have to know as well! The thing is I never been interested in using a drill or going plumbing , electrical renovation etc ⚒️🔨 Does a "real man " know how to use a DRILL, should we all know how to put door frames on ,how to use a SAW ,a DRILL ? Why should I bother learning? I call tradesmen out

Today being a few days back on Australia from my 6 week boring trip...I'm so happy 😁 I rose at 3pm after the nightshift cleaning the hospital stairways , I will spend sometime checking my emails ,on ASEAN ,do some cleaning , then I will go to the gym,come home eat dinner and off to work for 10p Lovely routine and just think one week ago I was caged in a 21sqm room with old people on walking frames ,shouting outside ,slamming doors etc I felt like the security guards at that view talay were like prison guards locking people in those box rooms Half the time I had to jump that back fence where the cafe is because my keycard wouldn't work

New Zealand doesn't allow their citizens to get the old age pension overseas ???? 😮

Yes ! Part of time management and I do watch YouTube on this ,is to DELEGATE tasks out ! I read recently that app Airtasker now has hundreds of jobs posted for such things as "arrange my holiday " , go thru my budget " etc I wouldn't pay for these but people do !

Yes thankyou I went twice in 9 days earlier on May ,the doctor saw me and said to me immediately "ready for your prostate exam again?

I think back tonight ( in Australia) as I go to work on the night shift how lucky I was to "escape" what I call the Pattaya hell hole What if I had retired there without doing that trial run?

Ralf changes genders

As a matter of interest Ralfy how much would you charge 🖕🍑

I did find Dr Olivier a tad expensive at 1000b for a rectal exam though

One thing that made me angry in Manila was the large amount of American fast food franchises that I never even heard of.... Kenny Rogers fast food ? Denny's Moshi koshi Ridiculous!

It was great to get back to work last night at the hospital Last week at this time I was getting a prostate exam at Dr Olivier's clinic in Pattaya
