  1. Well now the average rent is 3750 GBP per month. But I sold the house when I went to the Cayman Islands, so 22 years ago. Rents were a bit lower then, but I'd have lost at least 500,000 in rental income, probably a lot more. I made 140,000 pounds profit on the sale and I thought that was brilliant. But in hindsight, the worst decision I ever made.
  2. I sold a 4 bed house in St Albans. Boy, did I regret selling. It's doubled in price now to over half a million pounds. If only I'd rented it out instead. You live and learn.
  3. Cause nobody cares about engineers. Basically the girl goes for the engineer when she couldn't get the lawyer. I feel sorry for engineers really.
  4. Well, I wouldn't say "zero". As has been pointed out above already, the immunity for presidents only covers acts done in their official capacity. Anything manifestly outside their official capacity could result in prosecution. Therefore, is faking Russian interference with manufactured evidence done in "official capacity" or outside it, is the question. Granted, Obama will have legs to his defence, which will be official capacity, and the chances of conviction are low, but zero chance seems a bit extreme.
  5. France, Italy and Japan among the signatories, but not Germany, Israel's pet dog and free ATM.
  6. You could say nice hair, if you were feeling positive. That's one thing Thais have a lot, amazing hair.
  7. Strangely it's always Russians and Arabs actling like a$$holes. Who'd have guessed.
  8. Sicence? You're an engineer, you didn't split the atom, did you? Engineers are a dime a dozen. Even Philippines has engineers. It's the lowest of the professions. On TV endless medical dramas, endless legal dramas. Where's the TV shows about engineers, Lacessit? Actually the offering documents I have drafted have resulted in people making billions of dollars. If they were meaningless why did people pay me 500 USD per hour? For meaningless paper? Really? Back in the day I did actually get a scholarship, but only because of my passport so my tuition fees were paid because of some reciprocal EU arrangement so I didnt' have to pay tuition fees in the UK. That's obviously out the window now. Of course my father helped with living costs and after two years the highest payinglaw firm in London that recruited me generously paid me a grant and scholarship for both living costs and tuition at law school. So I ended up with no debt at all. Untiil I met my wife that is. Sure, that is because we are the gatekeepers of the game, the ones who decide the rules by interepreting them. And of course that service is very expensive. People generally have to go to a lawyer when they have no choice, they are forced to get one, and then they have to pay inordinate sums for them to solve their problem, which often can't be solved. But it's probably mostly envy, Lacessist, we're seen as the most intelligent and the highest paid profession, so one can understand that we are envied. Unlike engineers, whom we mostly pity. Well, there've been some interesting basketball matches. My equestrian exploits in Spain. My training Karate with Wayne Otto. My bagging the best looking girl in the Clifford Chance summer placement of 1996. How I spent all my summers in the largest nightclub in the Baleraics, when nightclubs still involved a suit and a tie, and I met 4 Asturian girls who all invited me to visit them. My trip there, taking in the Michael Jackson concert in Madrid, and how I met a lovely Spanish girl in Asturias called Reyes who showed me how to dance the Pasodoble in a fiesta in a night only Ava Gardner could have portrayed in film. I just sent her 24 yellow roses and thanked her for teaching me how to dance the Pasodoble. Then off to England alas, to work in the higerst paying law firm in the City and helped a Japanese client to obtain a betting licence in the UK, who was eternally grateful. I then switched from corporate to Capital Markets at one of the premier international law firms, working for Japanese banks would wouldn't bat an eyelid to pay 2 million pound invoices for the meaningless paper you referred to. Then I got an offer to head the capital markets department at a Cayman Islands law firm, so I flew to the Caribbean, all expenses paid of course, and after a year experienced hurricane Ivan whilst I was holidaying in Cuba. I came back to a war zone, sleeping in the office. Then left after 4 years and worked with that law firm, heading up the Zurich office, whilst working remotely. Mostly travelled the world, by which I mean Asia. Met a Filipina and my life swiftly went downhill from there. So nothing terribly interesting, I'm sure your life is more filled with drama. After all that's why we see the endless TV shows about engineers. They'll be ripping your autobiography out of hands. Or you completely wasted your time of course and two people will read it. One or the other.
  9. Quite a few Indian restaurants in Chiang Mai too. Two southern Indian ones which are excellent. Very high standard Indian food here, suprised it's not more popular. Quite pricey I guess.
  10. It's okay ,they now have a color coded safety system. What could go wrong?
  11. Well, if you take the Iceni as an example they were assimilated into the vanquishing migrant invaders populations like the Angles and Saxons from Germany, but numerically Britons today are far more related to Germans, French, Italians and Scandinavians than the Iceni who were a tiny population that was easily defeated. Hardly 100% Britons, more like 52% French, 43% German, etc.
  12. About 16.7 %, so just over 10 million people. Though strictly speaking almost all Brits have a migration background, what with the tiny number of native tribes like the Iceni. https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/british_prehistory/iron_01.shtml The later waves of German (Angles and Saxons), Swedish, Danish and Norwegian (Vikings), Italians (Romans), and French (Normans) migrants, actually came to dominate the indigenous tribes, who were assimilated into the newcomer populations. So the destruction of the British race has already happened a long time ago.
  13. Have a good look at your "good looking woman" and recoil in horror.
  14. So he's a homosexual. And his name is "Buttigieg". Sometimes God just has a bit of fun, huh?
  15. It's just dishonest, isn't it? She's trying to pretend she's a 25 year old, when she's really 50 plus. It's just so dishonest. This kind of blatant dishonesty and false advertising really disappoints my honest nature. I am shocked by this behaviour, some old woman trying to pretend she's something which she's clearly not. She certainly doesn't look "great", she has a face like a satellite dish. The body is passable, if one were drunk, maybe, but I'd have to have had a lot of Tequila.
  16. Thank God I had the foresight to open several Thai bank accounts when I got my first ED visa and maintained them in funds so they were never closed. I'd left Thailand for 3 years, came back and the accounts were still operational. I think the approach varies from city to city, I don't have any issues here in Chiang Mai.
  17. When I took the Venice Orient Express to Vienna I received a dress directive - absolutley no jeans whatsoever. Strictly prohibited.
  18. Actually that would mean I am an immortal being. So potentially I would not have been born ever. But just came into being with a bing bang.
  19. Total nonsense, I've been offficially in the world's best city, Chiang Mai, forever, no change at all. I will sue you for slander.
  20. It really is. I walked down red street two days ago. It was horrendous to be smiled at by these old women. And yes, Hua Hin is grim. I have to say I did not see better in Pattaya either, even the Russian hookers looked 3rd rate and old. Where are all the good looking ones?
  21. Well, that would turn anyone off.
  22. I almost never see attractive Thais in bars either. It's always 40 plus used up not so good looking women. It's bizarre.
  23. This is fact. Especially Poles.
  24. As he'll now be subject to NHS care shouldn't they do a Gofundme page to bring him back to Thailand, to a proper hospital? Like Bangkok Hospital.
  25. Now that Chiang Mai is officially crowned the best city in Asia, I guess the new airport will just cement this position even further. So for the foreseeable future Chiang Mai will not just be the best city in Thailand, but the best city in Asia. So wonderful to know you live in the best in the city in the world.
