  1. Sadly the dinasours will be around for a very long time. These dinasours are also known as "the army". There will be more coups and disruptions for as long as Thailand maintains its inclusiveness and believes it is the centre of the universe. ????????
  2. Anutin.......the Court jester's jester. Also known as a self-serving fool.????????
  3. I worked in the Aus superannuation industry for 26 years, both in finance and then as a senior policy officer, across defined benefit funds, accumulation accounts and hybrid schemes. I saw incorrect legislation drafted as the legislative draftsman didn't understand the issues or reprecussions. I then saw politicians blindly vote without understanding the legislation. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't.????????
  4. Fair enuff for those doing it tuff. Where the pension is a supplement would likely be a different story. Anyhow; we shall merrily carry on regardless with a pint half full attitude.????????
  5. I was a "true blue tax payer" for 40 years. I like to think I went a way to funding my own pension (obviously not fully). In addition those 40 years subsidised a truckload of dole bludgers. Moving closer to autocratic govt every day.????????
  6. I often wonder how much Aus pension money is actually spent in Aus. Holidays overseas and internet purchases must see a bit flowing out. Telling employed people where to spend their salary doesn't seem to be an issue. Don't forget that some expat spending o/s can fund a tourist trip to Aus.????????
  7. My father grew onions. I grow opinions. Eventually they can both make you cry.????????
  8. TLDNR. Anyhow.....each to their own and yes, the quieter places likely would be better. I visited Phuket once (2008) and did the touristy evening things with a bunch of mates. Once was enuff. Most locals were unfriendly, only wanting money without a smile. Happily ex-pat ensconced in East Pattaya for 10 years now.????????
  9. Yup. Lordy knows how the op handles relationships.????????
  10. I think it is correct to say that the current senate was "rubber stamped" by the NCPO. Only one person put the names forward.????????
  11. Agreed. Not gunna change as long as kids are indoctrinated rather than educated. Trouble is, the teachers do not know the difference as they went through the same process. Education is the initial step to learning individual life skills. "Individuals" are not encouraged (& sometimes not tolerated) here.????????
  12. Because the officials are relevant rather than irrelevant?????????
  13. Hmmmm ....expensive "short time."????????
  14. Hey Spidey. Go easy on the soi cat.????????
  15. "What did I do wrong?"????????
  16. Perhaps he is an Associate Professor?????????
  17. It doesn't. Face and money are the only drivers.????????
  18. Fat envelope goes a long way. If not, just download from the net.????????
  19. That is a serious case of the munchies thanks to Anutin????????
  20. Thought I recognized that from when the folks dragged me to chyurch. Never could work out how to take money out though. Shouldn't be a problem here though.????????
  21. Ah. There is already a sub-committee. Everyone in for a slice of the pie. Order those Mercs now.????????
  22. Agreed. In a country where pupils never fail any year of lower/middle schooling it is little surprise they flounder and resort to cheating later in life. The kids never learn any life lessons and can not understand what a setback is. Sadly, the blind leading the blind.????????
  23. Or shirts with dollar signs patterned in.????????
  24. Sounds like a fetish of some type.????????
