HAPPYNUFF

Show me a a poor Insurance company, and Ill show you a joke.

OK, block off  the PVC pipe, and just let   water run off   via your driveway.    If   there is any further complaints, just point out its an act of God, or in their case  Buddha.        Really, as someone else has pointed out, they want you  to    surface the  complete road in  gravel, as  you have  at your front drive.

I taught my (first) wife, and  our three kids to drive.  I always stressed to each of them, just remember, every other driver out there is a lunatic, just out to kill you.        Many years later, none of them have ever had an accident.(or caused one to my knowledge)

"Whats the problem Somchai,  change that admittance   sign,  triple the price for dirty farangs"""  That will fix it wont it??

Am I mistaken, or is this the same person who, some time ago,  claimed   eventually the whole world  populace would be speaking Thai.   ?           And as an addendum,    I have never heard  his mightiness speak a word of English.. Can he, anybody know???

I recall reading in a book on Buddhism,  The Lord Buddha  saying   ... Do not worship me, do not make false idols of me, I am not a God, I came to show you the way (to nirvana)....    It appears  some others  have   found a way to make money out of anothers beliefs.....

When   I  bought my revo new, it was fitted with Michelin Tyres.     8 years later, and  just over 50,000 Kms, they were not even half worn, but I had to  change them as   they were   starting to look dodgy on the walls.     Got Pirellis, 4  for 16,000 Baht, fitted,  with  2 year warranty,  free  alignment and balancing every 10,000 kms, from B   Quick shop.     Seem Ok, softer running tyre than Michelins.    Check manufacturing date on the side wall before they fit them, some shops sell  tyres already several years old.

OK, Ive  just reported the wife   for  riding on the footpath.   When I get the 20,000 baht reward, I will use part of that to pay her 5000 baht fine, and split the rest with her..  Happy days are here.

Universitys, worldwide, are a business, which is the main reason they encourage high fee paying foreign students.

A certain university in my country   recently   sought, and employed  a firm to investigate   as to why so many of their lecturing staff, on not particularly high  salaries, were able to afford  to own Mercedes Benz,  BMW and the like motor vehicles,  have expensive homes, and lived a rather lavish life style  .

I know, in my  day as a student    the  common joke amongst the  students, particularly the females, was "its a lay for an A",

while us poor  males had to  pay up  or else  forgo any life and just study, study, study. and hope for the best.

As someone else wrote on this forum, quoting a source, "I was dead  billions of  years before I was born, and knew nothing about it"    so I doubt  you will know anything about what happens to your body once   you die, so why worry, Ive  seen many dead people, none of them  appeared worried.

And there I was all this time thinking it was   really me they liked, and not my  money.   Sob.

My former neighbour, in my home country, was a senior  executive with an international insurance company.  He never had insurance himself, and frequently told me it was  just a scam, that allowed his company to fly him around the world on "conferences".   After he retired, he needed hip replacement surgery, and as I explained in another thread, rather than  go on the "wait list" at a major public hospital, had himself  booked in, and operated on at a small regional public hospital within a matter of weeks.

As for myself, I would, if I could, take out  health insurance, as I had in my home country, which has no age limitations, . However here, because  I have reached  the "use by" date insurers  set, I cannot obtain same,. Therefor I am forced to self insure. and now, I am locked in to staying forever in the land of smiles (?) as  travel insurance is also   not available to me, and  should I  leave Thailand, I would be unable to meet the requirements to return.    As an explanation,  should I  renew my health insurance   back in my home country,  it does not   cover  me  for health problems overseas.

Three times  as many bookings  as per the previous week.  Good , thats three people.    And   five  times  as many at another agency.      Hold eight seats on the next plane to Thailand.... See,   thats creative accounting  . T.T.A. practice it every day as well.

If you practice creative accounting, 11.1 billion is    very easy to achieve. Hell  on a quiet day I  daydream about my bank balance too.

Greta Funberg, a self serving little twit, with a face like a twisted prune.   Give her time, she will turn into yet another  politician,  willing to say anything  to get elected.
