Can't understand why people get them. Maybe one in a thousand looks good and it makes it harder to make a positive impression or get a job. They ook even worse on women.

I've got a few, mainly kids birthdays,

Oh and for work I'm a qc engineer currently on a project in the UK on £430 a day my work has took me all over the world in the off shore and subsea game,

So my few tatts haven't really done me any harm on the job front

You won't get brown roosters unless you go for r/r

The roosters that come from the layers are white, 

The brown layers are hybread f1s

You can get the white roosters and put them with the brown hens. the hens you get from them will be white and the roosters will be brown colour matching

to be honest i cant remember, sorry

fresh is best

and also try the word organic

19 days for hen eggs to hatch,

28 for ducks

just 1 cockeral,

i hope you have put him in a pen with say just 6 hens?

when you see the motorbike coming round selling day old chicks, we all know that they are cocks, buy some of them they are the cocks from the farms, they will be white but they are a great cross for you RIR your hens out of them will be white, they will still lay great,

sometimes raising from egg yourself dosnt save much money,

buy incubator

electric

chick crum feed

feed while waiting 16/17 weeks before they start to lay,

vacinations

other medication, multi vits ect

so what im saying sometimes its better to buy point of lay pullets at 16 weeks old

You left off the price of your birds,

please understand im not trying to knock you, i repect what you are doing,

Hi,

You say you make 800bht a day,

Have you taken off that the price of building the pens, the hens, the feed costs ?

just asking, we had laying hens and used to sell everyday to people in the villages ad i bought my feed at cost from the mill not from shops, and eggs were 5 bht each,

there wasnt much profit when you take out the price of the hen and feed, thats without the chicken pens

I could never understand why this forum is a free-for-all that allows posters to spar with one another about most things and positively encourages Thai bashing for everything, but draws the line at comments on English usage by other posters from English speaking countries ... although of course it's always open season for bashing Thai English usage. 

 

Your misspelling of "grammar" aside,  you hate people who comment on your English usage, but have no problem with all the relentless bashing of Thais and Thailand by the self-appointed farang  who act as Thai Culture ( or Thai education, business, religion, political) Police??

 

Certainly people who want to come to Thailand to teach English ( i.e. have a free holiday) or who make a point out of proclaiming themselves to be native English speakers ought to be prepared for a little push-back when they can't cobble together a coherent, grammatically correct comment.

 

Definitely I'm spending less time on TV than I did before. It once was a good source of useful information (and still is to some extent regarding up-to-date immigration news), but now it's main purpose seems to be to provide a platform for racist whining/whingeing.

 

 

please point out to me in all the years ive been on here where i have had a go at thai bashing.

and what gives you the idea i teach english,? im a welding inspector currently at work,

ive never ever said or proclaimed to be better then anyone ever, and another thing i have openly explained why i cant spell many time, so you want to keep having a go at me if it make you feel better, crack on

Can you teach us how to weld this sh1 t  roof metal without blowing holes through it. C and box section held together with tacks, no wonder I get a light weight roof.

You can get a bit bigger  gauge steel still not good, 2.5 rods and just be carefull

He said it was 29k in 290k now, the average wage these days is 27k.

 

I was alive in the early 80s and I don't remember the average wage being 2.7k, so there's a lot more to this huge difference than 'relative to earnings'.

The graph here is interesting - http://blogs.thisismoney.co.uk/2010/04/house-prices-vs-average-earnings.html

well i can only go by my wages,

in 1980 i was fresh out my time as a fully coded pipe welder, ( a good one) worked on most power stations in the uk, and oil refineries, off shore, on shore, getting 500 pounds a week

now 2017 im a certified welding inspector with a diploma in managing welding operations on 450 pound a day and thats in the uk.

when i go abroad its more,

joined many years ago to pic the brains of the pig farmers,

after moving part time here ( i still work) i carried on and often put my 2 pence worth in the farming section as i was from farming stock just didnt know much about pigs,

have enjoyed my time here on TV, yes there are some arsholes on here, but there is in any wake of life,

but most i f$$king hate the grammer police, 

and do i spend more time on here? i come on here more when im at work bored in the office as now, 5,37 in the uk just getting ready to leave site after another 12 hours grind,

Give that man a kewpie doll for doing so well. You may believe you`re a self made man and made a success of your life through hard work and determination but sorry it`s not quite like that.

 

I left school at 15 years of age during the 1960s, no college or University degrees,  and was taken on by a company as an apprentice, it was a job for life. These opportunities are rarely available to young people today.

 

Paid into a company pension fund. Today these schemes are being eroded and not offering anything close to the great pension deal I received.

 

I was married in the early 1970s, we were given council accommodation within 3 months, not a hope of young marrieds being allocated local authority housing today unless under extra-ordinary circumstances. 

 

Bought my first property early 1980s in a London borough for £29000, was given a 100% mortgage. Now that same property is valued at £280000, and if I was starting out and wanting to buy that same property again, not a chance in hell of being able to afford it today.

 

Could open bank accounts with virtually no questions asked. 6% interest on my UK savings and up to 13% on my Thai savings.

 

When I sold up in the UK I made a whacking great profit from properties and retired with a good pension, a pension that is government protected should the pension company go bust.

 

This was all possible because I was lucky enough to have started out during privileged eras, those were times of opportunities, before the corrupt estate agents, banking institutions and companies began ringing the markets, eliminating the competition whereas they set the terms and ensuring the odds are always with the house. For young people today the world has never been a more competitive place. These days companies want 18 year olds on school leavers wages with 50 years experience. True, we are not obliged to help other people`s children, but also take into consideration that it was the system that placed us in our now privileged situations, whereas nowadays it`s an uphill struggle and it is a case of trying to beat the system rather than being able to use it for our own benefits as we could 30 or more years ago.

a great post, you talk about buying your first house for 29k but that was relative to your earning then,

why dont people in the uk have the balls to speak about imigration being out of control, cheap labour, all thing putting a drain on the uk not just housing, the NHS is at breaking point, when i was a kid you could walk into the doctors no apointment and see your own doctor.

Thatcher selling off council houses, yes many thought is was a great idea at the time but look whats happend now no houses for the young,

not only that but job losses for the maintainence of these houses,

there is many things wrong with the uk and in my eyes the mail one being near out of controle imigration from the EU on others

Oh yes of course I was lucky, for all of the 20 odd years slogging away, risking my shirt to get ahead of the game, and working full time to pay for the privilege as there were no buy-to-let mortgages when I started out.

 

My first and second mortgages  were obtained by being creative and getting a forward valuation on the property once renovated with funds withheld until works complete and bank loans / overdrafts / credit cards  to cover the shortfall in the meantime. My sweat equity covered the deposit eventually.

 

It's called commitment, hard work and guts, not luck! But then not many out there are prepared to break a sweat or stick their necks out.... And to them I will always appear lucky as they cannot comprehend otherwise.

bang on,

im 57 still working, but in another 3 years itll be put the feet up time, and let the houses bring in the money,

im a welding inspector so i earn very good money, but i want it to work for me, so houses it is,

ive just put a offer in for one this afternoon, 62k if i get it i do if i dont theres plenty more out there

Given the current rates with that kind of action the ladies would be making more than the average Thai brain surgeon.  Good pay in my opinion. 

i agree some do make good dough, 

i was operations manager in bkk of a stainless fabrication company so i know what highly skilled men get and i would say some top end girls make far more,

good luck to them, just not for me

well im stil buying more property,

in gainsborough lincs you can still buy a terreced house for 50k sometimes a lot less and rent them for 350 to 400 a month good return for your money

anyway, sorry mods the thread isnt about thai bar girls, sorry about that,

but i did say no i dont hate thailand, in fact i love it,

but i do hate a few thais

LOL. No one is forcing anyone to sleep with bargirls, but the idea that some girl back home hasn't slept with loads of different guys before is cracking me up. If they do it with Joe that they just met, they have probably done it with heaps of other guys. Since they invented the pill, it's all on, and girls are just as randy as guys, till they catch one and then it's all off.

your comparing homeland to thailand bar girls,? your having a laugh, ive seen some lasses on a night out yep they look for sex but not 5,6,8,10 short times a day, and you want to go with that, good luck to yeh, thats your choise,

im just saying its not for me and as i said in my other post im not pulling them down, knocking them, just not for me, but you crack on,

and some of us really dont like the bar girl sceen, playing about with your life just for a quick f##k not for me thank you,

how can anyone enjoy putting it were thousands have been before is not for me, yes i like sex (with ladies) but not bar girls, no no no, and im not saying they want at one time nice young girls and im not pulling them down for what they do, im just saying its not for me, ive had some good craic im my mates bar years ago it was the coral reef bar in soi 8 phil was from the same town as me, but sleeping with them just isnt for me,

pattaya great place in moderation, you can get anything you like

in the sticks very limited on some things,

do i hate thailand,, no,, do i hate some thais, yes big time,

think ill just keep working and buying houses,

im for the safe route,

but its an interesting read

the question was do you hate thatiland,   no,,

but i hate a few of the people in thailand!!

is that jealousy again,,lol

why can they stay and i cant

i think you can extend that 60 for 30 more days, ? joe

my god there is still some bitter twisted people on the forum,

ive been happy with my life in thailand with my wife and children for years,

look in the farming section our farm keeps us and when i get a call to go to work my wife and the kids run the farm, my wife keeps great books on the farm, 

some on here just cant understand that you can meet a lady have children together and be happy,

no we dont keep the family, infact my wifes parents dont even talk to us now, yes it was about money that they stopped talking to us, that was a great thing to happen, my wife has a lot of cousins and uncles anties who she is very close to, and they agree we are better without her parents in our life,

and yes we have 3 dogs on the farm, a jack russell and 2 soi dogs, big docky is a son of our first soi dog, ive been a dog lover all my life i love dogs and so does my wife and kids, the dogs all fetch sticks for the kids just like any dog in the uk,

we are just starting another project here red claw crayfish, to go along with the rest of the animals we have,

life can be good in thailand, yes you sometimes have to work at it, but you have to do that anywere in the world,

no have a great sunday
