What a plonker.Foolish assumptions, she's laying next to me in bed right now and never left me for a thai guy, I have another GF down south waiting for me so I'm trying to let this one go for one of you fellaz, I hope she isnt too heartbroken!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, well, l would put you at the top of my list to come unstuck, dumped.Plenty of men in Thailand that shouldnt have trusted in their girlfriends/wives mainly because they were naive idiots that let their small head do the thinking. You wont hear many success stories on this forum as its a place for old farts to vent their spleen. If you are 50 and marry a 22 year old chances are the relationship is not built on anything more than a sad gullible old mans last stand, and a conniving little crumpets greed. In this case buying a house in the other halfs name would not be recommended...and yet you hear the same stories again and again. They will be on here soon enough, telling all and sundry that all Thai women are money grubbing whores, that you cant trust any of them...you read it on here all the time.
Anyway on a more positive note. There are decent women in any country( along with a smaller pool of bad ones with a steady supply of idiots to prey on). I trust my wife and her family as much as I would if she were born in my own country, its no different. I choose to associate with decent people, I have a good bullshit detector. If you are a naive that goes there to find love in a bar then you reap what you sow.
Why, your attitude. You think your no.1, NOBODY, farang, is no.1

Hope your ''organs'' are in tune with your cash.A paranoid and personal view!
People who offer to manage your money are only out to make money. They are very adept at persuading you that the process of caring for your money is very complex and reliant on concepts and principals you wouldn't understand. They offer reassurance in the form of expensive suits and Mercs and they sometimes have names like Justin St Paul. They are usually very good at explaining the factors that caused your investments to fail.
Most private sector pension schemes are a rip off and nothing more than a gravy train for an army of lawyers,auditors,investments managers and accountants.
If you want to be sure that your money is safe and won't run out, you have to learn to manage it yourself !
After the most recent financial recent financial crash, how many experts crawled out of the woodwork to offer their expert and learned opinion on why it occurred !
If there was all that wisdom around why did it happen ? Because the only thing most of them know about is looking good in a suit and cheating people out of their money !
My little rave is over!
So true. Luckily, I came to that conclusion many years ago. Don't have a personal pension, but have plenty of investments doing much better that other people's pension funds. Plus I have access to the cash if I want it. What the point of a large retirement pot if you can't access most of the money. Another plus - no-one is taking commission from my investments. On the downside, I didn't get tax relief. But I still prefer it my way.

What a load of tosh.To me, writing RIP is really just
Post count +1
No sentiment expressed or effort expended. Quite similar to if you just post "lol", or "Happy Birthday"
Posts like this have no sincerity and are just automated replies, with neither the brain or heart even activating, let alone contributing to the thread
Personally, I think that it's almost verging on insulting that someone offers such little effort when someone has just died. Better to post a full sentence or nothing at all imo.
God help us.
Do you know what many floral tributes at a funeral have written on them.
R.I.P......... which you probably don't know means ''Rest In Piece''.

You could be right about floating.Just another populist policy to get car sales up, and choke up the rest of the roads.
We have been shopping around for a new vehicle but have been informed that there is a 12 month delivery time. Order your vehicle, pay the deposit and by the time you get it in 12 months time, it's last years model. We have decided to wait until all this is over. Hey I think there will be a hell of a lot of repossession vehicles floating around in 12 months time and used cars might go for a bargain.

Not pissed off from my point of view, seen a few, pissed off that the guys mum might have seen it.
I am still pissed off at the photo.seriously a lot of you blokes that are posting here really need to have a long hard look at yourselves, The complete insensitivity and lack of empathy displayed by many symbolises a complete disconnect with the real world. I doubt many of you have any tangible real world relationships with family or friends. Oswald was a much loved man and you are tarnishing his reputation. I suggest you set up your own thread somewhere and compare how empty your lives are.
Hey, all of us are sorry about Oswald. I'm sure he was a lovely bloke.
Don't be offended, though, if the discussion moves beyond memorializing and into an examination of violence in Thailand in general. This is, after all, a discussion board.
Your lucky. Some of the cricket fraternity & a work colleague had to identify the body.

He will smile. Guaranteed.I'll ask my grandfather.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaH, yes, hmmmmmmmmmm, fond memories for me about two life times ago.

Learn something new every day.

If you are a farang, you just wait and see what happens to you if you cause a problem. You will cry for your nanny states help, OR here."people driving on the wrong side of the road, without lights, without drivers license, without helmet, police collecting money like buying eggs at the market from the above motorbike drivers."
These are the reasons I love Thailand; the fact you can pretty much do what you want. Many people are tired of the 'Nanny State', I'm a libertarian, it's innate within me. Try living in Europe for 365 days!!

A sniffing fingers dance routine habit eh.I look over, point at her bottom, then wave my hand under my nose for the internationally understood language of 'smelly'.What a charmer you are. Such a way with words and suave as well.
Thanks.
I always did do well on the dance floor.

Me toooooooo, in my place.A lesson for all reading here. Switch OFF the main breaker before doing ANY electrical stuff here, no matter how small or big the appliance.
RIP brother. Trans
You are right, of course. But doing that is not foolproof. Not here. The main switch may have been overridden by one of the qualified technicians claiming to be electricians. I have seen it.

Hmmmm, drag racer, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Girly racer yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

My place is safe YET my mrs mum will not take a shower, goes to the garden for a wash down. FEAR of death from electrics.A lesson for all reading here. Switch OFF the main breaker before doing ANY electrical stuff here, no matter how small or big the appliance.
RIP brother. Trans

He was warned by his wife not to enter and wait for a qualified technician to arrive.Rest in Peace Mr. Timothy Jackson

You were lucky. My place l wanted earthed 3 pin plugs, they laughed.This isn't shocking news with the quality of some of the electrics in these places.
RIP.
Well, it is "shocking" in the sense that this poor man was electrocuted to death. Working with electricity without the proper knowledge or safety equipment can have deadly consequences! Most of the "electricians" here lack proper training, or simply don't care enough to do a safe and proper job. You can't be too cautious when dealing with electricity!
How to you know that MOST electricians here lack proper training or don't care. Are you making this up or do you have real evidence. If you have real evidence, then please share. Otherwise, don't make comments that you can't back up. I've used electricians twice here and they both knew what they were doing. Both very professional.
Many farang do not understand the ins and outs of electricity so please don't slag off others for lack of knowledge of a trade.

So you lot, DON'T mess with us eh.

Or his new fridge.Yeah, I can relate. I fear severe poverty more than death. I wouldn't last a day on the streets.
In my case, I haven't worked for pushing ten years now, and I thought I'd be richer at this point than I actually am. What hit me wasn't so much inflation or personal events, but the BAD luck of the TIMING of when I stopped working. (Market meltdowns.)
What about the expense of eating out so often?
(Why do l remember that stuff, l was hopeless at history)

My wife was a prison guard that brought me my gruel twice a day, which l lapped up.
She thought, hmmmmm, this guy will be cheap to keep and feed, the rest is history.
