I agree and they often start aging badly around 30 years old. They sure look good when they are young though.

Its a dam site easier for the delivery man to ring rather than start punching addresses into a sat nav. He has probably upwards of 50 drops a day. He knows the area but not specific addresses. So he phones ahead using blue tooth headset of course. He can then maximise his days workload.  If there is no answeer he would try delivery the next day if he doesnt know where you are. Ours phones to tell us he's on his way.

Every Amphur appears to have their own rules about the yellow book.
Some issue it on producing a passport.
Some require translation of passport and birth certificate ( and then Decree nisi, in my case).
Others, all the above plus 2 witnesses.
Oh, and now some say you have to be married to the house owner !!

I'm sure some issue it with pleasure and others make it as difficult as possible.

It's " up to you " how much you really want it.

I would like one, and the pink ID card but gave up after the hurdles.
But, I can live without it, and don't give it any thought until someone starts a thread [emoji20]

Slightly off topic:

Some years ago I was in the US staying in a hotel.
As I approached the elevator there was a young nerdy looking guy stood by the elevator with the call button unlit. I stood next to him for a few seconds then pressed the call button, he gave me an awkward smile as if he had forgotten.
The elevator arrived, he jumped in and stood there.
I pressed my floor then stepped back to allow him, he just said to me "3 please ".
As he was as close to the buttons as I was and as I'd already stepped back ( and just returned from a long day at work ) I pretended I didn't hear him.
He hesitated then pulled the sleeve of his sweatshirt down over his hand and pressed "3".

He glanced at me to see my reaction I guess, I gave him my poker/disinterested face and we stood in the elevator for 3 floors of uneasiness !!

I smiled to myself as he left the elevator and I swear I could see the redness appearing on the back of his neck !!

As I said, slightly off topic but I just wanted to share [emoji51]

I saw them first on August 30, 1998 in Chicago and again the following year.  On one of those dates for a fact he was wearing that shirt because I vividly recall the loudness and pattern of it.  Reminded me of something out of Africa.  Just curious, is the term "bar" used in the UK as well for dens of sin    drinking establishments?

Too bad there's no info on the date or location of the show but I swear it could have been the same show I saw.  Or at least the same time frame.  Their dress is as I remember it.  Can't recall the stage backdrop, though.  "BAR" is definitely U.S. lingo so I'd gander that it was performed in the U.S.

If you click on the small " d " as the video is playing will take you to the daily motion site , if you then click on the down arrow next to peters name it gives you the info.

I believe there's is a DVD available ( on Amazon )

Fleetwood Mac - Oh well

I had a Uk DL but obtained an IDP in the Uk for driving in Thailand( valid for 3 months).

Upon acquiring my Thai DL I presented the IDP ( along with Uk DL ) the lady raised her eyebrows and pushed it to one side.

I think that the IDP is required along with your home country DL for driving in Thailand but maybe that's only if your home country DL is not in English language ?

The weather, I hate the cold.
The eye candy.
The food, good variety, cheap and available everywhere.
Thai people I find are friendly or disinterested but I've never encountered any nastiness towards me.
My gf , obviously.
Travel is so readily available, whether by taxi, motorcy , tuk tuk , song taew etc etc and so easy to find a hotel or resort at short notice.
Beautiful scenery.
The eye candy.
You can pretty much find anything you want in the way of food or things for the house etc.
Did I mention the eye candy ?

Can't link to your quote so I'll add to yours.
Some people can't adapt to retirement because they have nothing else in their life. I was lucky in that I worked to live, not lived to work.
Loved being retired from the moment I walked out of workplace for the last time. Now I have time to do what I want, not spend my time working with bullies and for the ungrateful just to make money.
People should have something in their life while still working that is nothing to do with work, and can be done after retirement. Don't wait till retirement to look for something to do.
 
I'm kinda regretting saying yes.
Never regret any opportunity to make some cash after retirement, as long as it's not as bad as working used to be.

There are expats in Chiang Mai, a city full of expats, who purposefully isolate themselves from other expats, saying they came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of their former life, dismissing the activities of the CM Expats Club as a front operation for shysters out to get their money (and not simply a good way to make friends, pick up a new hobby, have opportunities to travel, etc), eat only Thai food, often street food and pride themselves on how all their new friends are Thai, largely meet through the circle of friends of their new girlfriends or people they meet through their commercial interactions, i.e in bars, restaurants, massage parlors, etc. Many of these guys routinely pay women to service their sexual needs.  They consider themselves vastly superior to those who "brought over their own women, i.e. cows who henpeck them just like they did at home", dine in western restaurants, and engage in activities like Bridge, Computer Club, and Pickleball. 
 

Don't be ridiculous. Once Frenchie posted the video, the virality began. No backing down from that. 
The French guy didn't deserve an apology anyway. Why make a big deal about a few extra items? 

It is all about trump.
Turns out my theory was correct. He was feeding an ACT back at the rude anti-American Frenchman portraying what he correctly imagined the rude anti-American Frenchman expected to see. So there!

3) Retiring is a very interesting dynamic ( one I will embark on quite soon) Am I anxious.nervous...you bet. It definitely will have some challenging times. However this could be anywhere, it doesn't matter. I know people in the US that retired and lost their marbles, tried to go back to work and couldn't and ended up a wreck to never really recover. It can happen here. To Global Guys point, You have to be adaptable and find a new set of activities to replace the daily work regiment that has been a HUGE part of most peoples life for 30 or 40 years. Hard to just turn that off, one must give them self time and be patient, set a budget and hold yourself to it. I look forward to getting into a daily basic work out program every morning or evening. My wife wants to as well. I want to go ride bikes, relax in the middle of the day, fly my drone, take up photography, watch some TV, work on my vehicles etc. 
 
 

Dropping the F word in a public place is not clever, Thai people know what it means and they don't like it .

But then making a self righteous video in an attempt to redeem himself and using it again on several occasions !!

The guy is not doing himself any favours......... or maybe he's just seeking some attention in which case he's doing okay.

French and Saunders bringing together some guitar favourites !!

The post mortem on Bruce Forsyth is now complete, he died of a siezure; "Nice to seizure, to seizure ya nice!
