How old is your daughter?

Was she in the car whilst you were drinking and could she see all this violence?

Did see see you go back to the war zone with two scalpels?

I think you are perhaps the first person to finally ask a pertinent quesiton. I drank beer, but no more than one per hour, as indicated in my original narrative. I was fine to drive. Normally I'd advocate not drinking at all if you plan to drive mainly oweing to epidermological reasons, but I know my limit. You're condemnation is admirable though however misguided it is.

I'm not going to talk about my daughter any further because especially in the light of the personal attacks I've received, I don't think it's appropriate, and if you are any sort of a decent person, neither would you. Also, it's repugnant that you should even bring it up.

So all you drink and drive folk ''know their limit'' ? That is an incredibly daft comment.

So I take it then that nobody had a girlfriend when they were a teenager?

Hmmm, l was going to reply BUT l might get arrested.

Fluent is being able to talk about any and every subject that comes up

Are you sure? I know a lot of native English speakers who cannot talk about any and every subject that may come up in English yet they could be described as fluent in their native language.

I failed English, and l am English.

, not in your area but doesn't matter . Ask away about anything.

True , we're not in our own countries but that doesn't mean you have to live in a shithole. I'm not negative about Thailand or the people here. I've lived here 10 years and seen more than most folk. I just happen to call a spade a spade and comment on things as i see them but some people don't like that. If i was back in England i'd still have an opinion and voice it as much as i do here. The truth always hurts and anything controversial always attracts critisism such as yours. Boring ... far from it , it creates a little excitment for you guys defending your squalid living conditions. What , do you want everybody to fawn all over each other with farang bullshit. Now that would be boring ...

Hmmm, like you, l have 3 western style loo's etc, BUT, l will never run down another guys ''have a go'' at a different life in the way you put your thoughts over. We are all different.

McDonald's

If it had at least been Burger king

I live in hope. .....................................

" I have lived in countless places over here in Thailand and toilets are much the same ". Like i said some people have no standards. I wouldn't live in such a shithole my friend ( excuse the pun ) no matter which part of Thailand it was. To answer your other post. I have 3 toilets in my house. All Western standard and spotlessly clean. 1 downstairs with sink , 1 upstairs with sink and shower and 1 en-suite in the bedroom. I'm not blinkered at all and what the hell has toilets from years ago at the end of the garden got to do with today's standards. Even then it wasn't an upturned traffic cone swirling with a thousand flies. Maybe you still use an abacus to count and watch black n white TV. You can keep your filth and third world living conditions. May you be long happy slopping shit out of the minging cone.

A little harsh, don't you think.

Ubon will soon have TWO McDonald's, so now l am staying.

My girlfriends parents told me to buy.....!!??

I have no problem showing appreciation.

How will you feel if they sell it. Just curious. ?

I will give the parents each a 1-baht necklace with specific instructions to never sell them. In addition, I'll require them to wear the necklace every time I visit as a form of respect. My disappointment will be displayed if my rules ever get violated. Furthermore, they will be out of my life. This also goes for my gf/future wife. I've already told them I'm not giving any money. I take care of the "needs." They are on their own with the "wants."

Weeeeeeeeell, think you will be disappointed. I think every guy l know, including me, who thought they were doing good making this gesture have seen the gold sold off. Once the village have all seen the glitter then it is sold to finance something or get someone out of doo doo. I told my mrs that if she or her mum sold the gold there would be no more. Mum sold hers.

PS. Think you might have a bit to learn about folk here. Takes years to learn stuff. Forget faranglands way of doing stuff regarding near everything.

They will soon all be sold. Bank on it.

I can remember hole in the floor loo's in France about 40 years back.

Perhaps they are fed up with folk not wanting to pay the higher luggage fee and creeping on board with their stuff. We have all seen it.

Are you all blind.

No maccyD's then at DM?

Is the pub back there?? I'm passing thru soon and will require proper sustenance.

Bring the SAS sustenance stuff for two days op's. .

I'll pack my parachute!

Noooooooooooooo, just the plastic sachets will be fine. Forget the chicken curry ones though.

Does make me cringe when l see blokes in a sweaty singlet and grubby sweaty shorts disembark, leaving all that stink in the seat that l might have to sit on.

When you sit at Don Muang and have to wait, it is disgusting....

You see rich and poor Thais, ugly and handsome, but you don't find any Thai, dressed with flip flops, short trouser, shirt without sleeves, and everything looking like they wear it already 1 week.

And that are not some handsome 20 year old, that are some 50+ year old.

Should print&post this thread at DM, give 'em some TV Expat edgeamakation.

Next up, solving world hunger.

"fire"--- why is the guy on the ladder on empty Walking Street?

Fire extinguisher in his hand tells all.

This grub is Isaan Caviar. I took the pic, you don't eat Ma & Pa ant, just the eggs.

Even with no shirt, fat and drunk, a North American would see the trash can outside.

Perhaps he didn't know what it was for and pissed in it.

They all have my vote. .....................................
