Wouldn't the Fillipino maid be illegally employed?

Is the Fillipino maid also fluent in Thai?

Fish shops in the UK often import fish direct from Asia. Plants would come from a large supplier in Holland so I assume the paperwork was taken care of there.

Another journalist looking to centre the world's attention on the Thai sex industry.

Is it through pure laziness and the lack of ability to find something else newsworthy in this country?

Though a non native I read recently Plecostomus have become quite a pest in some Thai waterways.

I remember several years ago seeing a large plec get fished out the Chao Phaya River, and thinking "Hold on a minute, this doesn't look like the Amazon!'

In a serious note, I've no clue why farang girls would travel halfway across the world to bed one o' these Thai beach boys. I can understand the guys coming here, but the girls? I might not have met the right people, I guess, but Thai guys aren't exactly the personification of what you'd be looking for in an ideal mate, no matter how you cut it.

Eh?

I read into this you understand why men come here because Thai women are better than farang women. And I also read into this that you don't understand why women come here because farang men are better than Thai men?

Is that about right? Or have I misinterpreted your post?

It could be a panaque, peckoltia or plecostomus (all very similar looking) and the size could vary from 3" fully grown to 2 foot.

I would guess it's a plecostomus because they are commonly sold and the panaques and peckotias are more expensive and harder to find in your run of the mill fish shop.

The only thing that makes me think it might not be a plec though is the colour patterning on it. Most plecs are a dull brown and without stripes.

Another clue would be the price, plecs would generally be very cheap and panaques that bit more expensive. Though the price difference may be so minimal depending on what species you have it's not conclusive.

Besides the point really, as they all behave the same way and eat the same kind of food and will not bother the Koi.

Couple of pics of a fairly common found species (in Thai shops) of a panaque for the OP.

For late night boozers, Family Mart is your friend.

If it is the guy you know, its a bit strange if he is still in town as his face is plastered all over the news?

Yes, wonder when the OP last saw him? He may be out of town already.

And with the story posted all over the web, if it is him, it is only a short time before he goes into hiding. Reporting him should be something that was done immediately if you thought the pictures looked just like him.

He wasn't sure if the children were willing or not.

By posting what information he has on one of the widest read web forums in Thailand the OP has already reduced his options regarding doing his own private detective work and getting further confirmation on the identity of this man.

There is not time for a poll, or pages of moral dilemma, it would not surprise me if the information on this topic is not already on it's way to him. And if it isn't today, then it will be with him tomorrow.

The OP has forced himself into making a quick decision, and it needs to be taken with some immediacy.

Why this has to be anonymous goodness knows.

Might as well advise him to do it anonymously. Unlikely he will do it otherwise.

And really, why not anonymously? There is still a chance he is wrong.

I remember reading a thread on here about a guy who got bitten by a venomous snake, and he posted a topic asking other posters whether he should go the doctor or not.

I thought that was the stupidest question I've ever read on here.

Now it seems people have to rely on other posters to decide whether they turn in a suspected peadophile.

It might also be worth remembering that if the guy is reading this thread he will up and dissappear whilst you are still twiddling your thumbs UG.

Turn him in, if he's innocent and you cause him an inconvenience then I would say it's worth the risk.

Of course be as sure as you possibly can be first and do it anonymously.

What do you really expect on these kinds of VR…service? safety, comfort…you are paying cheap price for cheap service

***flame removed***

Someone gets shouted at and hit by a driver of a bus, complains about it and then told by you that he should have expected it because it was a cheap service.

And why shouldn't someone take a bus instead of a flight?

We could've had more fun with this.

Quite surprised that TV is even letting this topic run.

Makes me even more angry now to think about my recently deleted thread 'How much heroin can I get in each condom?'

I posted a very famous picture here earlier depicting starvation.

It seems to have been removed?

My bubbles not burst, and if you are happy with what she has told you then your bubble will not burst either.

My grandparents struggled for food whilst there were bombs dropping on London during the blitz.

We can all thank ourselves lucky really. And let's not forget that there are many people in this world still starving to death everyday.

Are the stripes vertical on the fish or horizontal?

If you have a pic of it, try to put it up, should be able to ID it for you easily enough from that.

From the mouth description it will be a vegetarian algae eater of some description and should not bother your koi in the pond.

Ok, choose a fish. We might be able to name it or at least get closer to what it is.

If someone gave me 8 million dollars worth of assets I wouldn't be a problem to them either.

We married in the States, have joint bank accounts there and here and she has her own cards for full access, I put everything we purchase (house, land, car, motorbikes, chopper) in her name and own absolutely nothing myself but my own clothing.

But, why is everything in her name? Any particular reason you don't have joint ownership of all your worldly goods?

Quite a common pet bird in the UK.

You say it's a scavenger, is it a type of catfish? If so does it have long 'whiskers' and a wide mouth?

This is usually the sign of a predatory catfish and that might make it a problem if you have smaller koi.
