  1. The Sound of music ???? Do Ray me
  2. I think if your 67 and get the old age pension too it's ok
  3. As this thread has served its purpose in *education " & awareness " I have written to the moderators to have it closed. I feel more content knowing I have helped those who weren't in the planning stage of life exit
  4. I'm happy in a way that this thread has made a lot of you think and take notice about life . I realise a lot of guys in their 70's that I meet either are ignoring that fact of life or in denial . So I'm happy if this has made you more aware , particularly you guys who are "planners" and will hopefully now get your "affairs in order " I actually said this (jokingly )to another hospital cleaner I was working the night shift with the other night but luckily he misunderstood, a 70's guy original from Yugoslavia,still working still slaving at his age for more money ""hopefully you got your affairs in order " He stopped mopping ,looked at me confused then he replied"yeah I mop stairway already "???? no idea what I was talking about ????
  5. Yes best Australian movies Muriel's Weddings What was the one with the ladyboys in the Australian Desert dancing ? Forget the name now
  6. Do you out them in a real estate agents hands?
  7. I'm thinking it's a income but your right about vacancy rates I'm thinking risk management less if I took on lower class places such as Nirun ...but then the income is not good . So I spend say 500k-600k for 4500 baht a month rental income minus expenses ....so maybe leave me 3500/4000b a month coming in But then on the other side if I don't buy a investment property I'm drawing out say 50,000 baht a month out of my retirement funds with no income !
  8. Lately have this fetish to think about buying Condo's to rent out so I can get income to live in Pattaya I will have to withdraw the money from my retirement account though , but...I'm thinking I will have income coming in.. But then I'm thinking if I spend say 600,000 baht on a condo in the Nirun and it gets 4,500 baht a month rent ( if I can find a tenant) then after expenses it's going to take over 10 years to get the capital back. I don't know ,is it worth the risk ? Say I have 10 million baht in my retirement funds and I buy all these condo's and have only rent coming in and no monthly retirement income from the savings account as I spend it all on condo's . I do think low class condo's would be better to rent out , I don't like the Nirun ,last time I was there to look it was 9am and shirtless farangs were just standing by doorways holding bottles of beer ,as I walked past one ,he lifted his beer up & he shouted out "bunny wabbit !!! Bunny Wabbit! So I kept walking
  9. Will have to look this The English patient up ,you watched 18 times????????????
  10. Well its nothing new , this is similar to the Northern Ireland/ British fight . They solved it by putting up a large wall in Belfast apparently. Seemed to be no wall between palestine and Israel Build a wall
  11. Seems the Godfather is the winner , everyone mentioned it
  12. Grand Torino wasn't the best for me No place for old men was great
  13. Grand Torino wasn't One of Clints best
  14. I'm always fascinated by towns if a different "flavour" so to speak. However I think every town (except I think the Muslim south) has been visited by every foreigner. Philippines is next on my list for towns
  15. Ok never heard them described as that ! ????
  16. Yes he used to get terrible angry and this was in the 1990's " you just want us ( him & mom) to go so you can get the house don't you !!! He used to shout after I reminded him of his lifespan ????
  17. You Sir are as fit as a fiddle and are needed on here , I'm sure a few years left yet ! ????
  18. RABBIT PROOF Fence was a Australian movie But not as good as STORM BOY I used to love David Gulpilli Aboriginal actor
  19. Unfortunately this young couple lost my respect when they used personal attacks at people here on pensions who pay their rent , then calling them old farts That's just immature especially if you want to promote your YouTube channel , I have given them the wide berth ,seem too silly to be sensible .
  20. JAWs I think they made like 3 movies ? What about DIRTY HARY
  21. I hated Saving Private Ryan same as that other movie with Tommy Cruise in the jet I loved ONE flew over the Cuckoo's nest !
  22. Yes exactly! As soon as they make a remake of something it's not as good as the original I remember a few shows like that . I think they even had a Australian version of Are you being served ?
  23. Anyone here live in the South area around Pattani ? I'm very interested in visiting these areas ,I know they are Muslim areas but are they welcoming to foreigners?
  24. Just looked up UNFORGIVING It's a Western sadly I was going to watch it tonight but not into Westerns . DIRTY HARRY
