  1. @fredwiggy So you are 68 years old and you have driven "twice as many miles as the average person". You think you are more intelligent than everyone else and regularly state exactly that. That everyone else skims and assumes. You have been working out for fifty years, so you think that you are invincible and also know more about nutrition than anyone else here. You think pizza is a health food, along with Texas ribs smothered in barbecue sauce. You think that you are right and anyone who doesn't agree with you is inevitably wrong...because you read a book. Personally, I think your behaviour verges on the narcissistic side. That's from the evidence. Now what can you tell about me, that isn't a wild guess or assumption? Any facts at all?
  2. @nauseus Weird...
  3. @fredwiggy What can you tell me about my life? I can tell you lots about yours. Whereas you can only assume. Get it? Like this load of old tripe:
  4. @fredwiggy is perhaps 69 years old....but he has been driving for 62 years..... 😊
  5. Whilst I am almost not ever inclined to agree with @SAFETY FIRST, it clearly is two foreigners involved here, who should know better. I have little doubt that @lordgrinz has been involved in similar situations in the past. These people take their poor behaviour everywhere with them. The kind of person who if they see someone riding a bicycle on a pavement, will deliberately try to block or bump into them.
  6. @nauseus His lordship had a red stop sign and a bad attitude. Led to him getting a bit of a scare....and now he is out of it, the bravado appears. He was using his car as a weapon and in the end was afraid to leave it, using his daughter as an excuse. Another one who talks the talk...
  7. @fredwiggy You are just hopeless. Rambling on about "working out" and "Businessman and printers" What is wrong with you? You ramble on about people assuming things when it's exactly what you do, most of the time. The fact that you advertise these things over and over again, speaks volumes. You just have pent up anger. Madness, I call it.
  8. @nauseus No, that's just you with a bee in your bonnet. Have I hurt you in the past? Not yet gotten over it?
  9. @2long You should. It's the way to enlightenment. In fact the consensus is that both behaved badly. It's only @fredwiggy and @lordgrinz who try to protest otherwise. But none of it would have happened if @lordgrinz was a more courteous driver.
  10. @lordgrinz "doesn't know what I'm talking about" because he put me on 'ignore' for not agreeing with his interpretation of events. 😊 I feel more sorry for his wife and kid if that is the way he behaves.
  11. @fredwiggy Who is going to kick his arse? You? @lordgrinz? @lordgrinz is the one more likely to get his arse kicked if he continues to behave in that fashion. Pushing through and hitting his horn multiple times. The other driver merely reacted to his bad attitude and indicated that @lordgrinz might be lacking something in his trousers. Totally unacceptable behaviour. But what can you expect with two monkeys? What is this 💩 "Never underestimate an "old man" and what they can do, especially if they've been working out for 50 years and have a few women treat them wrong." Are you mentally ill? Moving on from that weirdness...you are accusing the other driver of doing exactly what @lordgrinz did...not allowing the other driver to proceed safely. You don't seem to realise that you regularly contradict yourself. Saying that it doesn't matter who agrees with the situation....clearly it does. It means that YOUR opinion is as useless as you regard anyone else's. The fact is that more people think @lordgrinz is at fault. There's a reason for that...one that you are incapable of understanding.
  12. @Cameroni You pay for flights and EVERYTHING else. They likely don't spend even one baht on you...ever. That's not a girlfriend, it's sideline girl. You even have one on retainer that you like to claim is a girlfriend. She is not. Girlfriends spend on you and pay for you too. I guess that's not something that you have ever experienced. Sad.
  13. @lordgrinz...now a keyboard warrior talking about people getting choked out, whilst in reality he sat cowering in his car. Ironic that he writes such a thing, after berating me for saying that something similar might happen to him if he continues to behave in such a manner. Now here he is, preaching violence. Just stop it and move on.
  14. @fredwiggy It didn't look like the other driver was afraid of getting his arse kicked. People like yourself like to talk tough, but you are just an old man and should understand your limitations before you try shooting from the hip. Do you deny that @lordgrinz deliberately sped up? It's one thing just carrying on through, but he actually sped up so as to be first, even though he knew the driver in the red car was waiting. People like yourself will always be unhappy in Thailand. You haven't learned to go with the flow. However many you think agreed with @lordgrinz and yourself, it's still a LESSER number than the people who think that he precipitated the whole thing.
  15. @fredwiggy YOu made the statement, so you should post the proof of the five people. I said there isn't, so how would I be able to find them? You show me, please. Or just admit that you were wrong. I think that is something neither you nor @lordgrinz is capable of doing. It's just you and him...haven't you noticed?
  16. @fredwiggy Can you see the STOP sign? Who has the right of way? People coming from the left. @lordgrinz was discourteous, whether or not he had the 'right of way'. Why not send your new friend to the police station with his video, to see what happens?
  17. Birds of a feather...😊
  18. @fredwiggy Please link to the five people that have agreed with @lordgrinz version of events. The first posters were only commenting on the other drivers subsequent behaviour. But pretty much everyone agrees that @lordgrinz precipitated the event with his aggressive driving actions.
  19. @lordgrinz still desperately trying to justify his behaviour by blaming the other driver, but let's make it clear, the STOP sign is for him. Not only that, but he actually sped up on reaching the red car, rather than slowing down. @fredwiggy claims to look at the evidence but seems completely blind to it in reality. He could have just let him through...but he wanted to assert himself and made fools out of all of them.
  20. Goodness @fredwiggy, what a ramble... There are at least SEVEN people who align with my view and just you and @lordgrinz who sees it differently. Doesn't that tell you something? That people like yourself think that your perspective is the only one that counts and so subsequently you don't really get on with anyone. Emotionally intelligent others don't need to fight on every hill and don't see it as a loss to be magnanimous. He is ahead of @lordgrinz halfway through a turn. The safest and best way, is to simply take your time until it is safe to proceed, rather than to risk a clash and then have to stand there arguing the toss over who is right. THIS is the thing that some foreigners don't 'get' about Thailand. In order to promote harmony, it's better to work TOGETHER. It doesn't always matter who is 'right', just avoid making it into a problem if possible. Wave him through with a smile and watch the world smile with you....or be a selfish arse who thinks they are right about everything and so instead plough on dangerously through sheer bloody-mindedness. You should look that up. It describes the OP perfectly. No need for another ramble. Just keep to the point.
  21. @Cameroni Your girls are sex workers. Whether it's their main job or a sideline. No stunning 24 year old has problems with finding a date. They know they aren't going to have a meaningful relationship with an old man who lives far away and with whom they have little in common. But if they can get a sponsor... If you weren't paying, the girls would have ZERO interest in you. How come we don't ever hear anything about them again and you are still paying out for your 'stunning girlfriend' at the same time? Because it's one...and done. You pay for everything and then give them something for the way home. Sex worker.
  22. Only dangerous because there was an uncompromising 🤡 passing through. One who had the power to make everything go smoothly and pleasantly, but who chose to not do so. Instead, they made a scene and posted it here...not quite getting the reaction that they hoped for, so then threw yet another hissy fit.
  23. @Cameroni "Bubble headed female..."?? Have you had some bad experiences with girls? Did they reject you and only when you arrived in Asia...?
  24. Great opportunity to make new friends and acquaintances.
  25. How would the driver in the red car know that there are people crossing the road, until he starts to make the turn? But @lordgrinz has an overview of everything. He could simply allow the red car to complete the turn and that would be that. But he wanted to assert his 'rights' rather than to simply be courteous. It's a tight corner and therefore easy to slip out of lane in the process. A diligent driver would have made allowances and given the red car ahead space to complete. @lordgrinz couldn't wait and caused a dangerous situation. The red car driver's behaviour afterwards was completely unacceptable. Two monkeys on the road.
