  1. Do you think that's acceptable? He may need proper counselling, and treatment in the form of listening etc
  2. So that makes it ok??? Because in Australia I would pay more ? 😲 So why are comparing it to taxis in Australia anyway? If you want to compare prices in Australia a Uber would of been cheaper in Australia than that Bangkok taxi actually ! So as you want to compare prices in Australia you paid around $25 Australian for that Bangkok taxi..for that distance You got more $$$ than sense ,
  3. Maybe he did ,maybe he didn't But getting back to my story ..I was virtually locked up for 6 weeks in that view talay in Pattaya 2B building They had a locked door to exit the pool cafe area ,but my fob key / building card didn't work and the owner renting to me thru Airbnb was in new Zealand so I was at the beck and call of the security guards or cafe who done their best to have me "detained" inside the pool area by avoiding my calls It may sound silly...but I had to "escape" from there finally
  4. In other words BACK CRACKING and NECK cracking !! had no idea what this was in until today I went to see a chiropractor A sign on the wall in the waiting room said the new rules that are they are NOW allowed to manipulate/crack the backs of children under 12yo Apparently they couldn't before The sign said that "cracking your back " and NECK ... will give you relief from colic ,ear infections , and lower back pain , make walking easier , respiratory problems, constipation , migraines gone etc I was there for a lower back pain I immediately asked the fat chiropractor about this "CRACKING" And he grabbed me in a reverse bear hug... my back went .....,CRACK ! I felt a immediate release He then had me lie on a top where he pushed down on my back with his body weight , CRACK ! Said my back CRaaCK !!! Crack three more times . He then started talking to.me as i lied on my back grabbed my neck CRACK.my neck twisted left. CRACK my neck noise ... He told me next time I go to thailand to have them WALK.on.my back....yes WALK all over my back CRACK it .... I feel much better $145 later Do you believe in this ?
  5. It's in Australia too... particularly Sydney not just Thailand
  6. It's unfortunate we have homophobic diatribe , but everyone is welcome to their opinions and opinions are like A ...everyone has one , we must encourage and support young people who want to be gay, encourage them to express themselves openly in society and if that means tongue pashing and deep kissing openly in a public place we must have tolerance and accept it with love 💕
  7. Taxis lost a lot of money when Grab/bolt came in , especially in Pattaya where taxis were charging minimum 200 baht in most cases
  8. You mean Testereone? Yes can cause breasts
  9. Does Texas have unions ??
  10. Understandable , Coca Cola has too much sugar !!
  11. Im back in my normal routine But yes pre booking for a month was a mistake I made It was cheaper at 12k than a hotel but in hindsight not a great idea
  12. I want your opinion on trade unions representing workers in the workplace,are they relevant nowadays? I know they were strong in the UK once representing miners etc I did hear in the USA some States have banned Unions representing workers . Anyway the reason I ask is because last night during my shift as a hospital cleaner I had a Union person middle-aged bespectacled uni type nerd turn up to ask why I had left the Cleaners Union several years ago. I immediately told him I had been "locked up in Thailand" the last 6 weeks,he was in shock as I went into a long rant about the Zimmer frame old people and the Manila Subway story and how I walked up and down the subway at night. Being in Australia he had no idea what a farang was and never been to Thailand I hadn't even finished telling him about the farang drunks at the mini mart before he excused himself saying he had to go to the toilet , About 5 minutes later I then noticed his car speeding out of the car park ! He hadn't bothered signing me up and I would of refused He was going to leave me his business card but he left without giving it to me otherwise I would of rang him to finish the story about the farang drunks at the mini mart at the Nirun condos Are Unions relevant? Was you or are you a Union member?
  13. Head job Who remembers the Australian 1980's band called ...The Radiators? They had a song number 1.... 1981 called Give me head "Oh you got me screaming at 100 degrees....
  14. Yes I went to Flybird last month when I was there , I think it was building C ,the first building on the left , no lights in the stairways, 4 floors of no or dimly lit lights , depressing I have no idea where Pattaya Pad is,you say it's much worse than Flybird ?
  15. I will be honest , I actually approached the owners of the Mini mart opposite the Arcadia Continental Condos to tell them the tragedy and anti social behaviour they were causing by selling the poison to the farangs This is the mini mart opposite the Arcadia resort near the laundry if anyone wishes to pass by and see these poor farangs drinking their lives away outside the mini mart
  16. Definitely a lot of weirdos out there believe me ! Especially in that view talay 2B
  17. Yes 👍 I doubt I could retire to a "country" area I went out 6 hours from Sydney once in a car yo see dead kangaroos lying in the side of the road and scary trees swaying in the dark with no lights ,never again and same with Isaan I'm a city boy and for now on will stick with Cities ,Bangkok Manila etc It's too scary ,I'm not trying to be weird (even though a work colleague woman called me this behind my back) but I actually saw "monsters"in the night hiding behind the dark swaying trees in the Country area and 🦘 kangaroos jumping
  18. So really you want something like CHEERS bar ,....where everyone knows your name !!
  19. Get into a ROUTINE One reason I got bored in my 6 week imprisonment in Pattaya was because I had no routine ! Going to bed late waking up.late no planning for the day or even week! Make plans for the week ahead Time management!! Sleep,gym ,work , days off And do MULTI TASKING When your at work , do other personal things instead of working I bring my washing in to wash my clothes in the the hospital laundry etc and wash them at night during work time Also go on ASEAN during work time as well , I also "exercise" at work to get in my cardio ....walk upstairs,walking ,squats and balance on one leg as your mopping the stairwells and I don't care who sees me ! If your doing too much then you need to say NO Try working shift work that's time management, shift workers have the Highest sick leave record , not me though One week 11pm to 7am One week 2pm to 10pm One week 6am to 2pm Manage your time !!!!
  20. Sounds a bit gender sexist ,that's SUSAN who INDENTIFIES as a lady not a 'Him !!
  21. Geez ..no don't buy a condo and be stuck in ONE place ! I could never imagine buying at that View Talay 2B where I was imprisoned for 6 weeks,let out by white shirted uniform security guards to the swimming pool with a expensive cafe and mini mart every morning and then locked up in the afternoon to hear doors slamming ,shouting by thais and security guards ,motorbikes roaring ....please I escaped!!! Retirement is NOT meant to be like that As I sat near the pool to watch OLD Fools less than my age on ZIMMER frames toddling along "doin the dance"🕺 unfortunately I had to 😋kick in the glass door at the end of the hallway to the swimming pool because it was locked
  22. Obviously your not in Australia luckily , because you can't get your own retirement savings (superannuation) until 60...then to make it more DIFFICULT you have to wait until 67 to get the govt old age pension,and to make that more difficult you have to be in the Country 2 years before applying !!!
  23. Well evidence suggests not Profit must be in straight areas ?
  24. Increased Testereone eg TRT injections can cause this Overuse of testereone
