Tear down the statue of Douglas Haig in Whitehall, and put up one of Alan Turing in its stead. The former sacrificed British lives through stupidity, the latter saved British lives with intellect.

Rabbit food for little bunnies. Start eating hairy-chested stuff such as green mango or bamboo with chili, you wimp.

Oh, yeah, as you mention it, i have fornicated on my Harley, and just as she's about to... she tells me quick start the bike.
Daylight afternoon sesh in the woods, circa late 90's.
Jealous?
Not at all, I've had my share.
Forgive my cynicism, it's so hard to detect truth from behind the anonymity of a keyboard.
You've never lied or exaggerated? Send me your details so I can start the canonization process.

True, but if you can afford to pay an arm and a leg there is no better care in the world. Did Mick Jagger just have his elective heart surgery in London?
Also if you have a good health plan again best in the world.
If you're poor or have no or substandard insurance yes perhaps the worst among developed countries.
I think I'd back the Australian health system against the American model. Specialists there are just as good, e.g. surgeons, dermatologists etc.
I'm 76 years old. I pay 2300 AUD for top level health cover in private hospitals. That means I pay nothing for any GP visits or stays in hospital in Australia. No waiting list for any elective surgery. Free admission for any emergency situation.
My medications on the PBS cost $6.50 per prescription. There are Americans who have to shell out thousands a month for pharmaceuticals.
Still think the USA has the best healthcare in the world?

It could well be your last post if you choose unwisely on Walking Street. To be on the safe side, forgo the glass of wine.

"What’s that old saying? If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything?"
Apparently the OP has a problem following his own advice.

Yep.
ps........let you in on a little secret;
TG has been a scruffy, unkempt, unshaven, heavily tattoo'ed urchin since his teenage years.
I had some of the prettiest, raunchiest, most fun, girls back in my homeland, because some girls like to party and like the bad boys.
I could go out without looking in the mirror, steel toe cap work boots on, greasy black Levis, torn lumberjack shirt over an offensive t shirt, and the smart office worker, who'd shaved, aftershaved, iron creased shirt and slacks (), nice trendy slip on brogue thingies and the latest haircut would wonder why the girl he fancied was draped all over me...
Congratulations, I do love a good bullshitter.
Was it the vibrations of the Harley that sealed the deal?

American order, structure, efficiency?
A medical system that literally can cost an arm and a leg.
A legal system so complex 1 in 10 people in Washington is a lawyer.
Probably the only place in the world where prostitution is illegal, but filming sex for profit is not.
Incarceration rates rivaling that of China. The world's biggest appetite for illegal drugs and legal firearms.
A rail system which can only get to 85 mph in one small sector of Amtrak.
Please continue, this is fascinating.

Thailand is never going to suit everyone. Coming here with a military mindset of order, a wife, and relationship obligations back in the US were factors which were always going to make adaptation to living here very difficult.
Ten years here now, and counting. Currently I'm in Melbourne freezing my nuts off, waiting to get back to a warm climate, and my Thai GF. Not to mention food which doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Personally, coming to Thailand has been one of my better life decisions.

Or an aussie taxpayer.
As Kerry Packer once famously said, anyone who doesn't minimize their taxes needs their head read.
Negative gearing and franking credits are tax rorts making the rich even richer, and robbing the young of affordable housing. The majority of taxpayers get very little benefit from either.
According to you, it's OK to minimize your tax. Fine. At the same time, you seem to be saying I should get a pension in Thailand commensurate with welfare here, and forgo the pension to which I have contributed with taxes all my working life, spanning 45 years. I shouldn't benefit from being smart enough to take advantage of the differential between the cost of living in Thailand and Australia. I should go and live under a bridge in Australia instead, to maximize my contribution to the Australian economy.
What I am doing is legal, just as minimizing tax through a rort is legal. If you can explain to me why I'm wrong without getting into complete hypocrisy, I'm all ears.

If they can quit, you haven't bought them, and you don't own them.
Some people who have to work for a living actually like their jobs, some don't.
Agree. I've met quite a few sex workers here who put a lot of effort into providing pleasure, and seemed to enjoy themselves as well. Maybe that's because I treated them with consideration, something my GF has noted in my life now with her.
If they were faking their enjoyment of the occasion, they were really good actresses.

Compare prices for the vehicle based on brand, year and odometer on websites such as taladrod, one2car, bahtsold and ThaiVisa. Toyotas and Hondas are easy to compare. A brand such as Peugeot more difficult.
Or take it to a used car lot and ask them to sell it for you. They will give a realistic price.

People have been using agents for years , if they stop offering their service in the future I can't see you will get in trouble. After all it's a genuine stamp in the passport, and the money in the bank is real. Even if its only for a short time.
Just make sure to use a reputable agent, if you live in Pattaya there's plenty around."Reputable agents" are like financial advisers. It's difficult for a lay person to determine which are good.
I agree with the poster who said once one boards the ship of illegality, it's not easy to get off.

I can be polite anytime. Patience with someone who has the reasoning powers of an amoeba is on another plane of existence.

She has a couple wrinkles on her ass cheeks." "Look at that one! She looks good by western standards, what do Thais think of that look?" She, in turn, will point to women in the 150kg and up weight range and say "your girfriend".
Those who walk behind, do you hear any snide comments about her leading her buffalo?
"... They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man ..."In my case, they come runnin', right past me.
Get a crew cut and take the beard down to a naval style. You'll be surprised how much younger you will look.

I deserted my children in America to come here. Nothing I haven't done before. Of course they were in their 50's.
They needed your support in their 50's? Time for them to grow up.

Oh well. Time to come out of retirement and do my bit for the gene pool.
I will explain to the wife what a selfless sacrifice I am making and hope to receive her blessing.
Of course the resultant population explosion might not be 100 percent Thai , but were they ever ?
I'd suggest ensuring diversity by moving from province to province.

No, because my Thai GF would be abandoning all her networks.

Valid point. Alcohol is a depressant.
If I recall correctly, the OP was trying to stay in Thailand while asking his family for money to support him. I would find that depressing.
