Does diet have any effect ??? Do you think so

Mother's would I guess Would I personally cover up for my son ? Possibly, I mean it's heartbreaking to think that but probably I would Some of you have ,some of you won't ,some of you will

Would you lie for your kids? Would you cover up for them? You know this case got me thinking about morals . Last night I was watching the News in Sydney to see a alleged case of a car with teenagers in it last weekend high speed and crash into another car killing the 2 people inside. Video footage of it by bystanders see the 3 teenagers get out of the crashed car and run off leaving the dying people inside the car they hit Now the car driven by the teenagers was apparently the Grandad's car Next watching the news a elderly man with a walking stick is arrested by police ,they allege he is the grandfather of the teenager responsible for driving the car that killed the people and he was arrested because he claimed it was STOLEN by someone and his grandson was with him when this accident happened, effectively lying for his grandson. Now as he was leaving the court the reporter said to him ..."don't you have any morals ? Now it got me thinking , I don't blame him , I would possibly lie to protect my son or grandson too How far would you go ....you don't know , but you would I guess ,we all would,I don't blame him ,he seemed to be a hurt man Aren't you disappointed in your grand son asked the reporter when the old was leaving court looking sad Some of you won't even leave to move to Thailand because of your children

I have a Asian Australian friend known him for years but lately he was visiting me same age as me 60's but balding grey hair with a frail look , wearing a cardigan with tailored shorts and long socks He showed me pictures of his grandkids ,daughters etc ,he wants to be a family man ,a grand dad ,he wants to look the part ,old frail grey . I told him he looks old because he wants to be

Was discussing this topic with a workmate lady night. So do you know people who want to be old or act old He was saying he is giving some friends away now he has turned 65 and they are of a similar age but do nothing but complain. about life or their greatest talks to him are about their grandchildren receiving awards and they all look old some even 60's with grey hair looking wanting to be a grandfather look. He on the other hand 60's doing powerlifting and going to Thailand and wants to be.....forever young ...I want to be ...forever young . Some driving mobility scooters ,can't walk up Hills , etc Want to be old it seems Wearing cardigans my dad used to wear !!!!! have a friend who is one year older than me, Every conversation is the same someone had a strange car in their driveway for three hours, what their grandkids is doing (he got an ID card, he’s on the football team All want to be old and only in their 60's

No need to be sexist Any info on the guys there? Gay bars ?

Everyone has their price ,I'm sure you do too ????

Great information. I guess we will get someone to write on here the opposite to say they know someone who knows someone and they were away 50 years or whatever and still got the pension back on their first day Always going to be one ,just waiting for that post ????

800 baht ! That's $32 Australian , just saw the Sydney City red bus all day is $28 ????

Yes I think Bangkok would of been a better choice ,then again the traffic would be a nightmare ! Chiang Mai would of been better too but Pattaya? .

800 baht ? Is that a day ?

Legally it seems you can have sex with a 16yo as long as your not paying them eg prostituting....and in a position of power or authority eg schoolteacher

I see these big red double decker buses in every City around the world and now Pattaya has started one. They are usually aimed at the tourist market though ,I think it's a all day pass Anyone tried it ? Cost ? Route ? Will it last ? I mean who started this bus ,do they think it was a good business idea? Maybe they are funded by the tourist dept??

I have no idea about AFL but are you sure Sydney to beat Carlton??

Is there anyone that lives on a boat here in Pattaya? Is there places to park your boat and live on it ?

Who else lived in Thailand and went back ? Obviously a lot during Covid and never came back .

It seems to be a case by case basis and which assessor you get stuck with. I will post some appeal cases here soon,just reading about a former Canberra public servant being denied in the appeals court after living in Philippines 3 years and coming back at 67 so it seems there is no clear case In the meantime anyone wanting to read appeal cases go to the Australian Admin appeals website

There is no way you have to be "working for 35 years" ,that means half of Australia resident especially in areas such as 99 % Mount Druitt wouldn't qualify for the aged pension when they get to 67 Let's face it some have never had a job ,I had a brother on Unemployment benefits for 18 years , now he is on the aged pension There are plenty of expats who come back to Australia to serve the 2 year period who certainly didn't clock up 35 years working life in Australia

If you go to Canterbury tales bookshop you will see many farangs who were ex tradesmen , I'm sure a bit of cash talks

You go to bed same time every night ,wake up same time?

I guess then some would say your life could be boring as there is no plan routine.

You could even hire a farang to do it on the side I'm sure there's a few expats who are great at that Just obviously don't tell anyone

Apparently they still do shock treatment in Australia ,I thought this had he banned in Australia but talking to a guy in the gym today he said his father had received shock treatment as a last resort in a private psych hospital He also suffered very severe depression and had no idea why

I have a brother who religiously has red wine every Friday & Saturday night with his meal ,part of his routine ,don't know why
