my attitude is each to thier own, live and let live.

That's what Thailand is all about, but too many want to bring their old habits with them.

It strikes me in this discussion about oldies that their are oldies who are still very game and up for it (everything in life) and there are those who are out of the game after 45 or 50 and are just vegetating.

I would hazard a guess that those who are intolerant of the oldies when they are young turn out to be the ones who cannot cope when they are old.

You can look forward to many years of fun and satisfaction solent.

ARE YOU LISTENING RAMBO?

I saw, I conquered, I came.

Its not about age, its about mentality

GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU MATURE GENTS/LADIES

Well said solent. That's the attitude.

Also, thats the word I was looking for - mature.

We're not "old farts", we're "mature farts". That expression has a much better flavour.

Are you sure that your partner is being relocated to Bangkok and not Banknock?

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknock

Just checking !

an almost Virgin Thailand

That must have been a long time ago, Nignoy.

Are you responsible for its downfall?

Given the oldies propensity for loss of memory, second childhood syndrome etc. I'm working on an appropriate A-Z for re-education purposes with easily recognizable words such as alzheimers and zimmer-frame.

ray23, I'm having more fun now than I had at 20 because I'm now realising the stage in life that I could never envisage at that age. At 20 the idea of growing old is irrelevant so you don't plan for it. And why are there so many old farts chilling out in LOS? Because they're smart enough to have laid a little by to pay for it. We found LOS before the youngsters and it's thanks to us and our street smarts that they're still not paying European prices for everything.

Point of order qwertz - biologically there's no such thing as an"old fart". Every fart is "fresh". Well, perhaps not the most descriptive choice of word, but you know what I mean.

Some of the old farts on this board are certainly a bit fresh.

I'll bring my German nurse. She's hard but capable

Does she do enemas?

Is that a flower or a sea-urchin?

My Girlfriend has a Title:

Miss Baby A Go-Go 2005.

Many Thai girlfriends have a title. Its called chanote.

Beer in Ice, not ice in beer. My preference. Ice in Coke? bring it on! no worries!

How do you get the ice up your nose?

Iv'e always been wary of Eastern European nurses since Roza Kleb.

New revolutionary method enables English language speakers to be understood in Thailand by Thais who know no English. It will not help you to learn Thai. That is completely unneccessary with this method.

So what does a farang really have to do to pass muster there? Tattoos? No.2 buzz cut? Beer cooler wrapped around wrist? Baggy

shorts and sandals? Floozy on arm? Revolving eyeballs? Dodgy investment offers? Large motorcycle? Clutch of kids of mixed

parentage? Propped up in a farang bar waiting for death? Play golf badly? Cultivate large pot belly?

These things I need to know if I'm ever going to fit in there. I go through agonies every morning wondering how to dress and act like

a really cool farang and look less nerdy.

What you need is an image consultant, qwertz.

I read in another thread about a bar owner who vomited on a customer. He's the sort of guy you should turn to for advice.

Lets compile a "useful" guide here. Meet the challenge.

No responses? What's wrong - not funny? don't understand? offended? nothing to add?

The ideal farang = the id--- farang. Just change the two vowels and the one consonant.
