  1. When I was around 15 years old during my "Heavy Metal Phase" I flew back from boarding school in the UK, to Hong Kong, wearing a machine gun bullet belt around my waist, made up of USED bullet casings I'd collected at the Army firing ranges we sometimes went for shooting practice. Security personnel at Heathrow commented on the belt but after checking the bullets were all used they let me on my way. Security at Kai Tak said nothing when I strolled off the plane wearing it. However, security at Kai Tak went onto full alert when I tried to fly out of HK wearing it at the end of my school holidays. After a bit of checking they let me board the flight but the belt had to go in the hold and was handed back to me when I arrived in London.
  2. Congratulations on living under a rock.
  3. How can any AI answer this question when you've not specified their class. If you are middle class or above, why would you even consider someone lower class, especially when you'll most likely also have to deal with language issues and their low education.
  4. Nonsense. I'm 100% male and straight. I shave my chest and genitals because I think loads of body hair is ugly. My hair has never been very dark, thankfully and I'm not excessively hairy. I have an aesthetically pleasing amount of lower arm hair and leg hair, but no back hair and minimal chest hair. My pubes are starting to go grey which is gross and another very good reason to get rid of it. Anything that makes me look old is bad. Looking young, slim and fit for as long as possible should be everyone's goal. Even if you are too old to attract attractive women, why not have some self respect a maintain your appearance anyway. Yet so man men clearly don't care that they don't look good. I see fat old men everywhere who don't even groom their eyebrows, nose hair and ear hair!
  5. Yes, far too many racist comments on these forums. A lot of older people just can't accept the way the world is changing. Eventually there will be no distinct races. Most people will be interbred with other races. Also eventually all the old racists will be dead and forgotten.
  6. WTF does being slim have to do with being bald? As for often seeing Brits wearing flipflops outside, what are you on about? They are for wearing outside, why would you wear them indoors? And every nationality wears them, especially the Thais.
  7. He's not tall enough. He'd need a step ladder. 😂
  8. Would be funnier still if Fiat (the company) still owned Ferrari (the brand).
  9. Where did the Thai wife come from? There was no mention in the OP of any Thai Wife. Or are you just someone who assumes all Western blokes in Thailand are interested in Thai women.
  10. I definitely don't think we should be allowed to do anything we want, that is just ridiculous. Just this morning a friend from New Zealand called me and greeted me with "Jo San" when I answered his call. But I don't see why anyone would be offended, if someone, used ANY language to greet them. I can say Hello in multiple languages. My friends can all understand hello in different languages. Most educated people (from the West at least) can understand a few words in multiple languages, even just from watching TV and Movies. There is no reason why I should be forced to say hello in English only to English people, hello in French only to French people and hello to Thais only in Thai. If a Thai person doesn't understand Bonjour or Gutentag then they also probably have no idea whether I'm English, French or German. Maybe those Italian tourists had heard people say 'Ni Hao' and weren't aware it was Mandarin, but though it was Thai. What if they had said "Ciao" ? I use "Ciao" a lot and I use "Hey Esse!" with some friends even though we are not Spanish speaking gang members. We say "Whassup!" to each other a lot too.... like the famous Bud commercial.
  11. Even better is to delete ALL Windows files and replace them with Linux.
  12. Do you never use any other languages in Thailand other than Thai? I'm a Brit, when I'm talking with people I know we greet each other in all sorts of languages and ways. I might decide I want to say Bonjour to people, or maybe greet them with 'Jo San' (Good morning in Cantonese). I choose words I know my friends will understand. I studied French, Latin, Spanish and Ancient Greek at school and I have friends from more countries than I can remember, which means I've picked up a few words and even sentences in lots of languages. Most of us know how to say hello etc in multiple languages, why do we have to limit ourselves to using our own language, or saying it in Thai if we speak to a Thai person? Why can't we say hello in French to a Thai person, or say hello in Italian, Chinese, German, Russian? Regular Thais probably don't get enough exposure to lots of other languages, so they don't understand hello in multiple languages, but that is their problem not ours.

  14. Why not just use Libre Office or better yet just use Google Sheets (instead of Excel) and Google Docs (instead of word).
  15. Coming up on 56 years in Asia, 17+ of which have been in Thailand.
  16. I stopped drinking everything except water. Soft drinks first about 12 years ago, alcohol 5.5 years ago. Milk probably 4 years now. There's no reason to drink anything else and water only costs me around 3 baht per day.
  17. He should look back with pride at how many people had fun using the products he was able to get for them. And yes, your comment was nonsense as there is no soul. We have consciousness but that isn't a soul. As soon as the electrical activity in our body ceases then so does our consciousness, there is no afterlife.
  18. Ste-ROID rage. Anger, or a short fuse, caused by taking muscle building steroids.
  19. 25 years or so ago I was going to open a bar/club in Hong Kong (my third club, but the first I would have done without partners). The concept was a place only for slim people, fatties not allowed. I had a design concept where the entire front of the venue had floor to ceiling chrome poles, spaced just wide enough for a slim person to fit through, but no way for a fat person to get in. For emergencies the poles could be moved to create a 6 foot wide opening. Everyone I suggested the idea to (in Hong Kong) thought it was a great idea. I didn't do it because I was offered a high paying job in Bangkok. I always thought I'd go back to Hong Kong and open a new club one day.
  20. I hope it's the locals that find him and they make sure he understands his mistake.
  21. It is clearly stated it is a man Are you trying to be intentionally obtuse? It was obvious that Cameroni mean't "It can only be BECAUSE of a woman".
