you are correct too, none of the party's speak to or on behalf of anybody within the electorate, They merely lie to us all for the sole purpose of garnering votes

Its irrelevant what the british public think really isn't it.?

The british lefties are a bit busy these days , what with people being misgendered, left right and center, Illegal immigrants to be pandered to, Hamas terrorists to be sympathised with, anti semitic marches to be attended, and Strikes within the NHS to be organised. I sometimes wonder how they even find time to claim their benefits' But rest assured an army of diversity consultants will be on standby to limit any human rights abuses that may occur in the post apocalyptic dystopian world we face

Perhaps the reality that this is all part of the scaremongering, Why else would stuff like this need to be made common knowledge,? Why else would mainstream media need to be told ? Do they expect us to believe that Russian intelligence depends on western press releases ?

Ah ok . so I only actually owe you half an apology, coincidently I am actually half Scottish, ( but I prefer not to talk about it ) according to my grandfather I'm entitled to wear a kilt of specific tartan. Can't say I ever felt the urge to do so, to be honest. But never say never Eh?

Common advice from yesteryear, my mother would reinforce the same advice telling me that somebody she knew in her childhood was actually knocked down by a bus and broke his leg, his underwear was less than immaculate, so the doctors refused to treat him. Things were done right in those days,

I came here for the opportunity to indulge in some puerile adolescent humour, I have received one sad face emoji already so I must have offended somebody Mission accomplished

I thought you were American , so I guess I owe you an apology, but what has the thickness of your foreskin got to do with anything and how would you know it is thicker than most ? is that sort of thing common knowledge, and, presumably, considered a positive attribute in the highlands?

Ladyboy bars maybe ? and even then I imagine you would have to "engage" with them rather than merely "walk around" hoping for a glimpse

I heard its actually illegal

I doubt they target their own women though,

That has always been the case , I'm not sure that sentiment is actually increasing to be honest

Along with the entire muslim "community" In a perfect world what you say would be correct , However the realities of life in the 21st century mean that this is not the case. Most women realise that wearing a micro skirt or other revealing clothing in certain areas at certain times will attract unwanted attention or possibly worse and therefore sensibly dress, well,..... sensibly ,

I think that's generally the case, my mrs is no exception, any time she wears a skirt on go the lycra cycling shorts , she calls them her "keep" most of her friends use the same term , apparently its not a Thai word but something they have borrowed from english. A common phrase where I come from for oversized under garments is "harvest festivals" which I think is based on the words of a common hymn sung at that time of year, "all is safely gathered in" I tried explaining this to her and few of her friends, but they failed to grasp the funny side,

since when has" sense" been involved in what women choose to wear, just look at some of the shoes they totter around in,

Kind of depends how old one is, and how extravagant ones lifestyle,

How many Rai of land have you bought your wife for this project, was it expensive ? Have you seen the papers/ deeds. I strongly suggest you seek some advice, perhaps employ an experience project manager, It is a role to which I would be perfectly suited I would be prepared to assist for a modest retainer of 400,000 per month, cash , paid in advance. Out of interest, how large is your wifes extended family

indeed they do " the good" farangs are able to assimilate well and are readily accepted by Thais , I personally have never had any problems with any Thais from, Senior uniformed officials, to subsistence level rice farmers, I have many Thai friends Perhaps you would like to enlighten the rest of us as to how the Thais behave towards people like yourself, the ""not so good" ones who don't really fit in

Neither , just a sad old man with a chip on his shoulder, desperately trying to appear relevant, probably an ex headmaster , traffic warden, or TV licence enforcement officer. With an attitude like his I can't see him being very popular with any Thais , nobody respects a grass even the authorities deplore them

Thats for them to decide, and not you, and you are not privy to their sentiment. however one thing is certain, anybody who says things like..... "Reported to Immigration (your IP address and location)." Is not wanted anywhere by anybody , and rightly universally despised

Could not agree more , some people feel the need to mistakenly award themselves a kind of "elevated status" here ( presumably in line with what they imagine they enjoyed in their home countries) which they then feel the need to reinforce by berating others and erroneously blaming the normal evolution of regulations on those who have not followed their virtuous examples. and therefore "spoiled things for them" These sticklers for "doing things correctly" would do well to step back a little and get their heads round the fact that if immigration did not allow, or approve of the use of agents, then agents would very quickly become extinct.! Some agents are no doubt "better " than others , as always its a case of buyer beware. But shortcuts are there to be taken if one wishes

I'm going to enjoy this you might not be hassled by the immigration officers, but there is a very strong chance you will be the target of a stream of abuse from the above member. who, for reasons known only to himself, regularly posts trolling insults all members living here on extensions of stay based on marriage ( he calls them wify visas ) 2 examples of which I have posted below bizarrely today he calls them "proper visas" "The same way IOs treat foreigners who have traveled 10,000 miles to find a life in a foreign land living like a refugee (year-to-year contract), possibly using 'wify' visas. " unlike the majority in the forum who could not find a decent living and possibly a bride and had to travel 10,000 miles to live like refugees (year-to-year contract), possibly using a "wify" visa. He has tried to insult me like this twice now , despite me telling him repeatedly that I'm not even married Bearing in mind his previous trolling comments which I have shown above I would disregard any comments he makes on this thread , I mean, he couldn't possibly be speaking from personal experience, or could he? Nah nobody could be such a hypocrite, surely

I agree with most of what you have written, of course I have no issues with the Thai population enjoying a better standard of living but is following the ways of the west, which is what most people mean when they talk about Thailand moving into the 21st century, really the way to achieve that aim? The UK like most of Europe is really in a bit of a mess, burdened with uncontrolled mass illegal immigration, unable, or unwilling, to provide a decent state pension for its elderly, Hospital waiting lists measured in years rather than weeks, Schools and universities more interested in filling the minds of children and young people with left wing rubbish rather than basic reading writing and arithmetic. And just to make matters worse it is now almost a crime to be patriotic and proud of ones own country, to the extent that it is considered racist I actually don't think Thailand compares badly at all , the people are generally happier in their lives that most that I know back home and one thing they have , that I am really envious of is a pride and love, for their country which they are relatively free to express, that alone is worth more than money can buy I don't think Pita is the saviour that many seem to think he is , rather he is out of the same mould as Macron, Merkel , Trudeau, and all the other liberal progressives he will be aligning himself with the WEF and other such organisations soon enough, the irony of another billionaire alleging to care about the masses is a bit much for me. Thailand may indeed need to move forward , but it needs to find its own way ,and be aware of the outright failure that has been allowed to happen in the western world. The only thing we can be sure of is that we will both be dead and buried before any significant improvement happens here.

Rubbish , i still remember that from school, but you would be out of your mind to let me anywhere near your air conditioner

Crossy was as usual absolutely right, it is used in soldering , the fact that it is also used in brazing does not make him wrong
