I've understood everything that has been said believe it or not and I agree but I don't go quoting everything people write then responding as if one was drunk. Go back to your post here and read what you posted first two paragraph why in hell go through all the words and nonsense to respond just express what you think?
You also did this with a number of others sure we all have a comprehension problem but you make it 100% tougher kind of comes across like you are angry and frustrated?
From your last statement if I'm correct we agree on the government but it is tough when you ramble along as if you too are getting at the ripe age?
It's a good example of regime's 'totalitarian tip toe' ideas.
The end plan is the eradication of farang in Thailand, but just to chuck us all out would create an international outcry, and make Thailand look bad. Just a little (tip toe) every now and again will get there; but a little slower and less explosive (death by a thousand cuts). Along the way they are considering what/who else would replace any lost dosh, so there is some fluidity on their part.
The Thais are jealous of us and they don't like our anaylical skills and ways of thinking. They want shot of us. If Chinese visitors increace significantly during the next twelve months, we (farang) might as well pack our bags.

While many businesses depend on us, the authorities do not seem to view us as mega desirable, so it wouldn't surprise me to see the stranglehold tightened to push all but the filthy rich out.
Bang on the money there DSD.
The way Cha Cha brown nosed to the China boss; well it makes you think. it's only time bfore we (farang) are forced out. Plenty of Indians and Chinese to take our place.
I have just returned from my visa agent. I think this will be my last 12 months here. I've enjoyed the odd moment, and have a wonderful daughter. Just hope she can join me when I have to leave.

I'm not even allowed in the kitchen now, let alone near the stove or sink, it seems I am permitted to open the fridge to get a beer out (but only when the grandkids are not there to get me one).
Same here. It's not good for a farang to be in a Thai kitchen.
Apart from the fact that I'm close on two metres in height and the ceiling slopes away to about 1.6 metres at the sink, It's not a man's job.
Leave well alone guys; don't tempt fate. Wouldn't want to see a topic on TVForum about a farang being deported for washing his beer glass.

Spot on happy chappie.
Can drive her to the market or store or supermarket, buy cannot drive her back with any goods in the pick-up.
I once helped a man re-load his watermelons, that had fell off his carrier, all over the road. Police drove by and gave me a nasty look (they didn't help).

VAR is not allowed to get involved here. According to the published VAR Protocol, encroachment by an outfield player at a penalty is only reviewable if the player who encroached, becomes involved in scoring or preventing a goal, after the ball rebounds from the frame of the goal or is saved.
If that is how it is; then so be it. All i can say, in this case, was that the ref' and the ass' ref' (linesman) did not do their jobs nearly well enough.
It's hard enough for clubs to get a result at the top club's ground without being cheated by incompetent officials..

You need to look at the games played against who and when also.
Liverpool will have played 4 of the supposed top 6 (and Leicester who are looking decent) by next week and at the moment only dropped 2 points. City have only played Spurs and drew and the rest have been bottom half clubs.
City still need to play 11 games of the top 6 (including Leicester) from Nov to March, 4 of those are away matches in the NY. This is also around big matches in the CL.
Yes, good points. The Reds are still in the driving seat. The bookies (punters) have Liverpool as favourites; just. Of course The Reds might streak away, but City would have to drop points. I'm pointing out that City could now catch Liverpool; and indeed pass them depending upon goals scored, and assuming they win the two matches.

How refreshing. A bit of honesty. Admitting an error. Wish my wife would take note.

Must be because the HuaHin I.P. area , known for the " suspicious rich" living there
, do like us poor buggers and live Jomtien , and never a problem as such????????I'm up near Nong Khai and both Skybet and bet365 have blocked me since the start of the English footy season.
Hotmail; is it going to close down soon? I'm getting requests to contact them. Not sure if they are genuine messages.

Well, it's nice to see that after the w/e's games the EPL is now City's to lose. First time since nearly the start.
Just have to keep an eye on that goal difference and beat Liverpool away (10th Nov) and home (4th April) and it's the hat-trick. No need to thrash teams; just 3 goals a game will do it.
City should win the last 6 games (after the red game) comfortably enough.

Lamps and his Babe.s are coming together
with their first clean sheet of the season (from memory) Nice to see Alonso score

Appears to me that both players.are playing to their best .under Lamps
I reckon Liverpool are pleased they played Chelsea early on.

Well as for the teeth i think it could be a combo of cider and urine,but DO NOT mix them,taste's damn awful.
Great post again. I'm learning so much.
I've heard it said that collecting a mature ladies urine first thing in the morning and smearing it on a man's bald head can promote hair growth. Any thoughts on that Marko?

What a great, informative post Marko.
I don't want to get this wrong as I might try it myself. Does your intake of cider cure rotten teeth? I've only got 5 left (2 on top and 3 on bottom) and I'm pulling them out about one a year. Don't go to dentists as I don't thrust 'em. I have to put apples in the blender or I can't eat them. A carpenter friend was making me some dentures from bamboo, but he was taking so long. Another tooth had gone, and he had to start again.
Is that your own urine Marko or someone elses? Interesting! I'll have a word with the wife.

I can't imagine why farang would not have the the most basic of personal hygiene. If you re looking for company of the opposite sex, why not splugre 59 Euro on a bottle quality smelly stuff?
What!! Pay to make yourself smell, when there are fruits and vegetables all around. Just get a lime. Slice it through and rub under the arms, between the legs and any other places that you sweat from.
As for looking for opposite sex company; there is a trick. When the lady speaks look at her mouth and when you speak look into her eyes. Any smells are then rendered irrelevant.

Five-metre python snared behind home in Wichit
in Phuket News
It could coil itself around your neck and kill you. Happened to an American lady just last week.
Or it might eat your favourite cat. Or hamster if you keep one.
I don't know what sort of python it was. But if in doubt, grab it by the tail and lead it away. Done it lots of times.
