Pedophile nabbed for rape attempt, plan thwarted by his impotence
Ben Zioner replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
I guess you in your usual state of abject belligerent drunkenness. -
I know the topic is Iphone 15, so this just a short story for the Apple haters. My 8 years old somehow broke the screen of her Ipad, so off we go to the Central World Apple store. There they check our appointment and Apple care status, look at the tablet and their computer system and after a couple of minutes: "Lucky you are we got one in stock, you get a new one". Tell me if you know another brand with a service like that.

Abject failure of a dog. -
The parents don't need it, so he shouldn't give anything. I went to marriage office in Banrak and I did'n have to show anything. Never had any of those bull<deleted> weddings. We are still happy after nearly 15 years.

Who is older, your wife/girlfriend or you?
Ben Zioner replied to RamenRaven's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yep, but I'd do that research once gen Z turn 70. -

Yeah, gen Z losers. -
Easy to answer that one. First year I deposited an extra 200k believing that I could use the 400k for my extension of stay. Not so, the letter they gave me showed only 200k available for immigration purpose. Never mind I had enough elsewhere. But that makes perfect sense since logically you can't use the same money for two distinct guarantees. Thereafter I had one account for CC and a distinct on for Immigration. Dunno yet what I am going to do with the latter. Smallish money anyhow.

I got stopped at BKK last week!!
Ben Zioner replied to Katmanzu's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They wanted to know why you were coming so often to Thailand. If I was them I'd ask too, add ask also how you make a living, etc. If you stretch the visa system you must be prepared to be asked some questions. What you wrote just shows that the IO did their job. -
Minor detail, there your have 35000 multiplied by 2. And how many kids of school age? Oooh yes Decent health coverage for a family of 4 costs 15k to 20k a month. 10k "to play with" ? When a week in Koh Chang will cost me at least 150k.. Laughable. What's strange is that with such low levels of income, while I couldn't afford to live here, I'd have more fun living in the country side in the Pyrenees, hiking and cross country skiing.

Did you appreciate living in the 70s, 80s and 90s?
Ben Zioner replied to thaibeachlovers's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Vietnam wasn't he only war in the Seventies. I was 20 in 1973, never fired my gun, just watched the R...eads run back to Egypt. Was great fun, the inventory of what they left behind was a chore though.. -
Couldn't find the "this is ridiculous" emoticon.

Have I Missed the Boat ?
Ben Zioner replied to lolex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Of course, and nothing could happen to a 72 years old, in Thailand, without health coverage. Now, when I give it more thought, I reckon the answer for OP would probably be to in Thailand stay part time (3 to 6 months a year). Absolutely not cutting his bridges to Oz. -
When this happens to me I just get a hard on, problem solved.

Have I Missed the Boat ?
Ben Zioner replied to lolex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Honestly OP, with these numbers, i'm afraid there never was any boat to be missed. Move to Armidale, get your family over and enjoy the rest of your life under Medicare. I am always staggered by the extent to which geezers underestimate the rate at which healthcare costs increase as one ages. Simply do not come to Thailand with a proper western style health cover, in OP's case this is only available in Australia. Remember he is 72. -
So, for you, language is like clothing? One must be "trendy" to be "in"? Once I got clobbered here for using "man" instead of "dude", made me laugh.

Yep I do the same. I've also built a 20cm external layer of reinforced concrete to my house, with an earthed 20 mm sheet of steel between the external and internal layers.
