You would have to pay me a lot of mney. To eat spam.

Okay, so now we know WHAT you are and we are simply Haggling over your price?

....'early morning'....like before sunrise.....

...but hard to miss such a massive vehicle one would think.......

That's exactly the problem. She DIDN'T MISS It.

I just get horny when i see other blokes perving at my mrs. Especially when the blokes are early 20s as my mrs is 45 and im 51. 5555 Mate just appreciate the fact that shes your mrs. Sometimes if we r walking through a mall especially in Australia i get filthy looks from western women. They must think im a dirty old man. Which i am.i just smile at the western fat pigs.

Dont know if this is of any help to you but its my thought.

Cheers Cobbler

Yep, just love it !

When we lived in OZ, my wife was obviously the object of many a lustful gaze by the local lads. Even funnier if the "local lads' were sprung by their

wife or whatever.

Excellent. Ban Motorbikes all together would sit just fine with me.

As previously mentioned by someone else, RIMPING Supermarkets in Chiang Mai , or at least the "Airport Branch" has it.

They ran out a few weeks ago but I requested it and they had supplies within a few days.

RIMPING has been excellent ... about ten years ago, I asked for Hoi Sin Sauce, an assistant said he was sure they had it and went to check his Stock Sheets to locate some for me.

It is a MUST HAVE for Dim Sum and sadly the Management of MK Restaurants where they serve a reasonable Dim Sum, have over the past Decade taken NO NOTICE of my written requests for them to provide Hoi Sin Sauce. I even started taking my own jar of it to try and SHAME them into getting it... no result !!!

It is not butter. But I have had good results making shortcrust pastry.

Also, using it to replace butter in hot water crust pastry recipes.

However, if you spread it on hot toast or crumpets you will be disappointed.

Ahh, CRUMPETS... can they be bought in Chiang Mai?

Haven't had any for YEARS and now you've got my mouth watering.

How about trying, FAKE Koi ?

Im running an Android box which cost just 5000 baht. No fees apart from the 3BB fibre connection.

Sports, movies, news from around the world and no extra charge....cant complain with that

Am heartily sick of WETV. Where can I get an Android Box and can the supplier set everything up as I am Technically HOPELESS ?

Emmm, is there anyone in the Government capable of writing the ENGLISH to be printed on these forms?

They hate asians.

Possibly because Japan attacked Australia, bombed the Hell out of the North of the country, tortured and murdered millions around these parts

and Abe is Rattling his Samurai Sword as well as praying at the Memorials to Japanese War Criminals.

May just have something to do with the problem, even though you are Eurasian,it is probably the Japanese part they don't trust.

And as in past years there has been absolutely nothing ,bar talk,done to combat it.

And as in past years thousands suffer young and old alike.

... and don't forget, the FERANG Health Insurance Fund, introduced by the previous government has been ditched by the current government, so

the long suffering Ferang can Cough-up even More Money when they have to visit a hospital.

the only news is, i am old, chubby, middle class and not in with a chance with her.

Don't sell your self short fella, most women don't care what you look like, only how big your bank account is.

Not all just some.

Eve wasn't able to afford 2 kilos of make up, 2 hours at the hair dressers, nail job and crack wax on a police salary.

Yes, I remember now...

"Age is just a number" .... and by the way, WHAT is your Bank Account Number Darling?

We can but hope the "Leader" who escaped, wearing Hand Cuffs managed to fall into a river. Fitting end to the bucket of puke!

Hmm, related to King Canute by any chance?

Has anyone thought to address the problem of what happens after the water runs out in June?

What is the backup plan if there is not enough rainwater to replenish the reservoir?

Another compelling reason to seek refuge elsewhere...

A Back-up Plan ??

Are you perhaps a COMEDY SCRIPT Writer ?

This IS THAILAND and you ask about a Back-Up Plan... 5,5,5 !

See a Doctor and check you have not contracted LEGIONNAIRE'S Disease. It can be deadly, so don't take any chances.

Well, the English requirement will have her application crash down to Earth.

WHY ?

Do you know the applicant, have you spoken with her and found her English language skills to be lacking?

Your comment is offensive and quite moronic!

June is approaching awfully quickly. The rains may be late and lite setting up next year

to be much worse. Get those cloud seeding planes in the air.

You need CLOUDS for SEEDING.

All we have is HAZE from Criminal Burn-offs... same, same every year!

Wasted a lot of time filling out their form and was the ONLY offered Repatriation Assistance,,,, no Policy for covering treatment in Thailand.

I'm leaving CM for good in 10 days. The poor air quality was a major consideration in my decision.

Maybe that is what they want!

First they ditch the Ferang Health Insurance Scheme the previous Government introduced and now they refuse to take action against the

Fire Bugs who are Hellbent on Choking us with their Haze.

Hope you don't get the same uncooperative rude woman my wife and I had to deal with at the Thai Adoptions Office in BKK.

Years ago we had been looking after a 5 Y.O girl on weekends who was in the care of a loving but unwell Aunt. The child is not a blood relative of my wife's. We decided we'd like to adopt her but as I was about to return to Australia to work, my wife (she is Thai) submitted the Adoption Papers in Chiang Mai, in her name only.

Nothing happened for a few months and in fact, by the time it did my wife had joined me in Australia. She was asked to attend a meeting in Chiang Mai so she came back, had the meeting and was told she'd be contacted later.

She made three trips back to CNX from Australia that year but the Adoption was approved and she was able to bring our little girl back with her to Australia.

Both my wife and our daughter have Permanent Residence Status in Australia but we moved back to Chiang Mai when I retired five years ago.

Our daughter is now 15 and last year we thought that it would be wise for me to Formally Adopt her, so in the future, if she wishes to return to Australia to live, study and/or work she can do so. The Thai authorities told my wife I would have to go to BKK to make the application.

We asked why it couldn't be done in Chiang Mai but were again told we'd have to apply in BKK. We had ALL the documentation you could possibly think of and so we went to BKK. The woman who saw us at the Children's Services Office didn't even acknowledge my existence, didn't reply when I spoke to her ... maybe she doesn't speak English but anyway she point- blank told my wife that the Ferang would not be permitted to adopt as he is too old and there is no need for him to adopt a 15 year old Thai child.

No reason other than age, she didn't even look at the documentation, let alone check my background... NOTHING, just waved us off!

We are going to take the matter up with the PM's Office, so who knows ?

As I said, hope you don't get the same treatment!

Place Beef in a Slow Cooker along with a Medium size House Brick.

Cook for 6 hours. Toss out the Thai Beef and eat the House Brick.... much more tender!

It's amusing when farangs think Thais don't get English language sarcasm or irony. Do they really think Thais don't have the same in Thai? The slapstick programmes on TV actually extract the urine out of the participants all the time.

But as already mentioned, even the Thais need those strange, TV Sound Effects, to alert them to something that was intended to be funny.

Curry is a very hardy tree, yes you can put a stick to straighten them out.

They do not really need the food but they cold benefit from some light cow manure application. (stay away from chemicals)

Hope you have a real garden to plant them in, nice trees, in the right soil they will grow fast, flower and produce edible yummy berries. (don't eat the seeds)

Not to mention the aromatic leaves good for endless cooking applications or just eaten raw with " spicy larb moo"

Best regards

We have one growing in a fairly large pot in the front garden. Had it for about 3 years and it produces enough leaves to supply our needs (family of three) and a bunch of friends.

It gets the Morning Sun, we keep it watered ... a little every day (evening) You'll probably find it produces more leaves than you can use, so you may want to harvest them and dry them thoroughly to keep in the pantry or hand-out to others who use them in cooking.I Must try the Berries.

Haven't given it any Plant Food to date.

Good luck!

Of course you can find True Love in Pattaya....

Just depends on, how much you want to spend.
