HAPPYNUFF

I just worry, if Im the very last one alive in Thailand by 2022, who the heck is going to stick me in the oven, or dig that hole to put me in??

OK will try suggestions, thanks a heap, tho have tried ;: key b4...

I taught, on a voluntary level, no pay, conversational English to High School students in Nakhon Nowhere for some time. The kids were great, happy and eager to learn. The teachers??? those that didnt turn up in the morning who werent at least a bit alcohol affected, sure were after the loooong lunch breaks, thats those who bothered to return after lunch.. The curriculum,,, Thai history, the Monarchy, Thai History, the Monarchy, Thai History, the Monarchy, oh, and a little bit of maths. Now the wifes granddughter has home work, I watch her maths now, as before she was doing it herself, and always got 100%, till I checked,,, on one occasion she was marked as getting 20 sums correct.. 7 were in fact wrong. the teacher, when asked about this, claimed she was absent that day, and a trainee marked the paper.. Granddaughter refuted this,, teacher did, Pop,, she said. Face.....???

I would recommend to get tint on the side and rear windows, to what degree of tint is up to you, ask to be shown samples first. You do need it for the sun glare here. I would not recommend you let them tint the actual windscreen. Apart from a strip some 10 centimetres or so wide across the top.. My windscreen was, unbeknown to me when I bought it ,fully tinted. Shortly after I had occasion to drive a friend some 50 kms one night, to catch his plane.. I had a lot of difficulty with night vision, it seemed the glue on the tint on the windscreen was causing problems. The next morning I got the wifes hair dryer out, heated up the windscreen and peeled the tint off, then rubbed the remainder of the glue off using some mineral turpentine... Can see the road at night now.

I wish you all the best should you be unfortunate enough to decide on a Lenovo. I have owned three computers in my short life of using these new fangled machines, and my present one, a Lenovo, costing just under 19000 baht some 6 months ago has aged me considerably ..Three times it has been back for repair, at a cost, so far, in excess of 7000 baht. Warranty you ask, whats a warranty in Thailand look like.??? I have a friend who also bought one of these Chinese disasters, and has suffered similar problems. As he has far more money then me, he has bought another, different make of course, and uses his Lenovo as a door stop now. Says it works very good in that use.

I am on my 3rd computer, and by the way, this Lenovo would have to be the worst of the worst, as a friend has also found out. However, my present problem is... in trying to type in my e mail address to connect with someone new.. Each of my computers have, over time, broken down in as much I cannot type that strange A letter that goes into your e mail address, you know the one I mean , where you put your e mail name.....John smithA gmail.com........(you see I cant type the actual letter, that is situated in the upper case of the numeral 2 on the keyboard. Twice I have this fixed, but the problem reappears Any suggestions please.

I just pray for the day other countries impose on Thais resident in those countries, the same rules, restrictions and limitations as farangs here have to suffer from. In my home country Thais, and any other foreign person is entitled to free public hospital treatment, full citizenship after some two years, or alternatively, permanent residency visa after two years,no restrictions at all,, disability and sick benefits if unable to work, with no time limits as to residency,, and age pension after qualifying period, ei.. after 35 years residence a full pension, and pro rata for less time,,, and that does not mean living in my country full time, extended holidays/ visits to ones own country does not count as time lost. Of course employment in any occupation one chooses and is suitable for is OK, as is ownership of land... I see Thais swanning around driving expensive cars, owning large homes, getting free education for their kids , I dont blame them individually, but I curse the stupidity of my government, no matter what party their from. As for inoculations for the virus, its free, and its not chinese dishwater either.

Im always fascinated by those posts about the benefits of bum guns vs toilet paper. Intellectual discussions of that sort are great.. In fact I sit for hours at my favourite watering hole, sipping on soda water of course, just waiting for one of those mental giants to sidle up alongside me and give me the benefit of their vast knowledge.

I hope moderators allow this joke...I know it origin is from You Tube, by the Late President Ronald Regan, but it s a good one,, so please allow it. In Russia it is very hard, apparently to own a motor vehicle, and the same with getting any type of service. In fact the waiting list to purchase a motor vehicle is ten years. Despite this, a determined man saved the required price, and went to the motor dealers and ordered a motor car. Paid cash in full, given his receipt and confirmation papers, and was told to come back in ten years to collect his car. Do I come back in the morning, or the afternoon, he asked. Whats the difference, said the dealer, its in ten years time. Well you see, said the man, the plumber is coming in the morning.
