Selfish people 'never' feel guilty.......... even if they are.........

NOT TO WORRY.... You are in the 'minority' so I think the poor Thais will survive without your help...... There is still a majority of Foreigners who will pay their way (tip a little) and I think the Thais working will survive as they did for centuries eating rice and a bottle of 'fish sauce' to flavor it............

Hmm strange that. We donated thousands of baht of baby accessories to an orphanage near us recently. We also give money to beggars we see at the markets we just do not tip in restaurants and we never go to bars. There are different ways to help people besides handing over a few baht after a couple of beers but if it makes you feel good, so be it.

How about a THOUGHT about the lads born to those who serve your 'pleasures' and they don't have a dad who saves all his 'small notes' and who justifies 'not tipping' but does have a few other 'selfish extravagances'........ Every 'Cheap Charlie' has a 'justification' for his cheapness....... I have a few friends who fit this description (and I also have some 'Cheap Charlie' ways)... yet continue to be friends because I feel they do have a right to their opinions........

But my 'Cheap Charlie' ways never affect somebody 'poorer than me' but I will 'rip-off' companies and corporations without a guilty feeling.......

I never feel guilty but then again I don't congregate in touristic areas where tipping is the norm.

I've seen something like that before.

 

I've got no excuse really. Most days it occurs to me I should probably wear one. But my logic is a) I worked as a motorcycle courier for a couple of years so I know how to ride one b) the roads here are quiet and I know them well and c) I don't drive like a ****head and I'm always looking out for people who do drive like a ****head.

 

I should still wear one. But it's my choice I guess. 

I'm with you 100% I too see the logic it's very similar to thai logic on the subject.

1. Ride bike since I was 5 don't need helmet.

2. I ride these roads all my life I know they not dangerous.

On top of choosing a whack team we now know it is not just footballing decisions that you suck at.

Anything to fit in eh.

There are many players on your team 'Cheap Charlies' (and I know a lot of you)........ But I haven't come across any winners yet, on your team.......  LOL .....

I stopped tipping when our lad was born so I know who is winning thanks. I save every 50 and 20 baht that comes into my possession.

AND those same Expats are so selfish/self centered that they don't care about (similar to HiSo Thai's) the 'poor lives' of those serving them and helping them enjoy their retirement........ THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SHARING ---- PURELY SELFISH.....

Is this Ken with the harem of women and was trying to find a partner for his bird with a gimpy leg?

Just now, RickG16 said:

I'm pretty sure it's bah bah.

 

Yeah and it was a cracking save to be fair.

A helmet may make a similar save.

A helmet is a hero Rick.

Bah bah

All I can say is I live on a very relaxed island.

 

And I don't know why you keep on bringing up the WC campaign. It was one of your boys that underperformed the most. Bottled his penalty and ended up getting dropped.

Your a mug then. Straight up sorry but your a sheep. Moo moo or is it bah bah. Follower. Wear a helmet. 

Yh well the lads a flapper we all knew he was not the right man for the penalty but he had the balls to take it at least.

The general rule I have followed for a good while is as follows.

I no longer tip.

Just now, RickG16 said:

Listen LAD,  I'm not disputing how bad we were, and how much we've improved. But I don't think "heroes" is applicable.

 

To me heroes is for people who put their lives at risk for the greater good, or in a sporting context actually win things or at least come close and give absolutely everything. We did well at WC but not that well.

 

The handlebars are fine ?

Sound Rick just make sure you wear a helmet don't try to be a hero and think your hard without one. 

Just now, RickG16 said:

We have a different understanding of the word.

Nah you need a reality check. What was done surprised everyone and restored pride. Belgium and Croatia were teams with a hell of a lot more experience and nous at that level and we rode both of them pretty close. If southgate gets what he has got so far from this squad it's going to get a lot better with experience and If kane had actually been fit it could have been truly heroic. Very short memory in play here. It's been abysmal for so long and your moaning about a semi final exit and 4th place Finnish.  Get a grip of those handlebars lad. You seem to have forgotten Iceland. 

Just now, RickG16 said:

Agree I was impressed with Southgate. Just thought the media banding words like "heroes" around was way off the mark.

They restored pride and that makes them heroes. When you think of the utter rubbish that has happened in the last 20 years what they did wax heroic

Just now, Kadilo said:

Yeah he’s shit. But it could be worse, they could of paid 30 million for him on a 5 year deal like Sissoko. 

You got some stones Kadilo. Your teams rooted and I do mean rooted to the bottom of the table. Not a paddle insight. Millwall derby next season at this rate

It's been all downhill for him since he left Bolton.

 

Guy just believed the hype. I blame the parents. "You'll be captain of England one day son" guy started to believe it was an automatic progression.

I love these bikes but they just make too much of a racket for me. I will stick with a click and continue saving for a forza (used)

What is 100% serious is that this England team isn't a patch on the 1990 WC team. They managed to get to semis too so the media felt that editorially it was fair to serenade them in the same way. As said, they had a fairly easy route to the last four, and put almost as much effort into PR intended to make people fall in love with Gareth and the new hopes.

 

2018 team was decent, but the 1990 team managed to charm a nation entirely by what they did on the pitch, contained several bona-fide world class players (where do I start?), and only lost once in the tournament - by penalties to the eventual winners. Not once to Belgium and once to a Croatia team that should have been dead on their feet - i.e. the only  real tests we had.

 

If you are telling me this England team deserved the adulation it received, I'm sorry but I will piss on your parade.

The two cannot be compared but the 1990 squad was a different beast with a lot of experienced players. What southgate did took balls and he went against the normal conventions and made that team his own. It's a work in progress and I think it will get better for southgate. If you offered me the 1990 team v this one. I'd take this one. It has longevity and they did get to the semis too and with a lot less experience. But from a passion perspective you cannot beat that 1990 squad if they had half of that passion they would be a formidable side these young lions.

Can you not teach her yourself? 

I insisted my Mrs utilise a book for daily chores, things to do, we need, general planning. When out shopping if it was not in the book it did not get purchased.

It took a year of nagging to get her to use it. It took a year to get her to use it correctly and now she is an organisation queen. The beauty of it was her English improved dramatically. 3 years but well worth while.

Means i should not have been driving,  fault is clearly mine. 

So she likely knew this too. If you are 100% at fault then do what is morally right and pay her 10k and the insurance and learn the lesson. This could have been a lot worse and even if you pay the 10k you have got off very lightly and hopefully you will think twice about D&D in the future. Thanks for your honesty too. 

I wonder what had 2 beers prior really means. If it really was just 2 beers why would anyone mention it.

Wilshire, a few season back, looked the answer in regard to creativity,difficult to see him getting back to where he was.

Time out seriously Wiltshire wilted and has no basis to be included in any England squad based solely on attitude alone. Guy walks round like he's owed something.

Kane is well off the pace and has been for donkeys. The penalties aside. A bad wc and a bad start to the new season.

Bashing is stating the facts? What's the ploblem?

 

Here's what. Being called a basher from people who seem to be stuck in Thailand with no option to go back.

 

 

Meanwhile there are daily threads with only bad news on this forum with the very same participants bashing Thailand who.... wait.... accuse me of bashing Thailand.

 

Anyhoo.... I just received an email that my Amazon parcel is waiting for me at the concierge. Gotta love these first world services.
