I left secondary modern school at 15 in 1959 with no qualifications. My first job was bottling milk in a dairy, My second was in an electric meter factory testing household meters. I got sacked from both of them. My third job was in an electric motor factor. riveting the labels on the motors.

 

I resigned from that job and joined the RAF as a Boy Entrant trainee Air Wireless Mechanic and stayed in the RAF until I was 40.

 

I came out and got a job as the entire workshop staff (there was only me) of a satellite ground tracking station and quit that after 7 months of boredom.

 

I joined the Home office as a police radio engineer in Surrey and that lasted 3 years or so until I went to Vodafone installing and commissioning cell phone base stations in the UK.

 

That lasted a year before I quit. Working 70 to 80 hours a week and 2 weekends in 4 is no fun.

 

I went to Motorola UK doing the same job with better working conditions for 3 years before they lost the contract with Celnet. After that I stayed with Motorola for another 7 years doing similar jobs but offshore. I was UK based and tasked by Chicago.

 

I quit them to become a self employed contractor working offshore for my last 19 years as a site manager, project manager, regional manger until I retired in 2009.

 

I had a great life but I worked hard for it.

 

Yes I am doing reasonably well, but not as well as I planned or hoped My biggest problems nowadays are the forex rates, my frozen state pension and the pillocks in the Conservative party who seem to be intent on ruining the UK.

 

They have just managed to stop me from bringing my wife to the UK, not that either of us actually want to live there, by doubling the income requirement to GBP 38,xxx, which is more than 75% of the UK earn per year

 

 

Wow, you just spent ages ranting replying to a throw away one liner.

Very fickle.

Not everybody is fortunate in life to have a good free education followed by 3 to 5 years at university to gain a degree.

Hi Ricky,

Cannot believe that someone was confused about Minnie the Moocher, someone living under a rock? ????

But English is my second language, and I'm guessing a wheelchair won't fit in your manbag.

English is your first lingo, S'tralian doesn't count as a separate language. ????

I wear a hat outside to protect my exposed head from sunburn.  I wear sunglasses to protect my blue eyes from glare.  I wear a mask at times to protect from smells of car and motorcycle exhaust, children coughing and sneezing, and protection from sun on my nose and face under my hat.  

 

 

Lived here all during the pandemic and mandates were not enforced as with so many laws or mandates,  Really a non-issue in Thailand during the pandemic except inside some larger grocery stores where the management required masks, similar to requiring a shirt and shoes while inside a business.  Not a problem for 99% of people IMO

 

Cannot see how this is an issue in 2023

I don't know where you were living during the pandemic but I would have to guess that you were in a tourist area.

Where I live, (Samutprakarn) everyone wore masks and followed the mandates, if you were not wearing a mask, you would not have gotten onto any shops.

Even the outside markets had a mask requirement and they has temperature posts at the entrances.

In fact, apart from the airport, masks are still very much the norm in Samutprakarn.

Also, you would not get into shops here without a top on, again that's only normal in tourist areas or deep, deep Isaarn.

I disagree. I spoke to a dr at bumrungrad about this. She said thai people are not wearing masks to consider other people. They wear them to protect themselves. thats all. 

Absolute tosh.

How does your 'Doctor' know the reason why Thais wear masks, does she talk to them all?

Does your doctor usually find time to also have conversations with a farang about her views on medical matters.

The majority of Thais that I meet and work with all wear a mask and they all seem to understand how the mask works and that it is a prevention to spreading the disease.

Your presumed Doctor is either an idiot or doesn't exist.

his inability to withstand pressure

Not a good trait for a future dictator Prime Minister.

 

Also, would not handle a trip to visit the Titanic very well.
