  1. Well suddenly all changes when 4-5 key players are out, I am worried , Villa will be a very difficult game and then City the week after.  So we could end up outside the top 6 in a couple of weeks, but it's a long season, just need our best players back . 




     

  2. Yes we are not in a good mood in Norway, you can blame our weak government and leadership over the years. 
    The oil and gas industry is still big business, especially after the Russia-Ukraine war started

    The Norwegian Krone is too much dependent on others.  The Norwegian Bank (NB) sell the revenues from the oil and gas sector in NOK and buy foreign currency in Euro and Dollars. Which basically means they are not defending the NOK, rather the opposite.  

    Again I blame our weak leadership. In the populated areas like Oslo and Bergen people are struggling  to pay the bills, even with the high salaries and taxes.  The food queues are longer, also you have the immigrant crisis going on, with 30000 Ukrainian refugees on top of the other immigrants coming from African and Asian nations. 

    The free health care system suffers a lot , yes it's almost free but you have to wait for months to get a surgery.  So if you do not have a private insurance you could risk ending up in a serious condition before you get any help. 

    I am not retired yet , but I really hope the Krone gets stronger before I will be in the same situation as the OP.

  3. Spurs will never be Spursy when Big Ange is the boss. We will play our style of football, we might start losing a few games due to a small injury crisis, but I can promise you lots of entertainment this season. 

    We would have beaten a very poor Chelsea side on another day.  I agree we really need our best players to perform at the highest level , but we never been a title contender this season whatever the media are saying. Top 5 and Champions League football next season should be within reach now. 



     

     

  4. If there are no other recommendations about this than we already are aware of , I would ask the moderator to close the thread before midnight.  If you want to buy the car PM me and I will try to find out more. 

     

    My understanding is he managed to borrow some money for food already. Thanks.

    Well in that case he's 60 year old an in his entire adult life he's yet to figure out how to manage money.  This isn't the place to live if he's living paycheck to paycheck.  And if he's living paycheck to paycheck, how long has he been overstaying?


    He had lots of saved money, the story is more complicated than that, but I can not reveal all the details on this forum.

    Good question.

    No, just a tourist visa. He only stayed in Thailand for a few weeks, after he was involved in a financial problem in the other Asian country he lives in. He just came here to sell the car and the bike. Bike already sold and no more money to spend.

    Well assuming his car is not a total wreck and he has the blue book in his name then it will be worth something to sell. I can't recall ever seeing a car in Thailand for sale for less than about 30k so even that small amount should last him at least a month.

     

    My understanding is the car belonged to his ex wife , he picked it up from her place a few weeks ago. He divorced from her years ago but the car was registered in his name so that should be ok. 

    He tried to sell this car with a dealer now for 3-4 weeks but no buyer,  I would think he is asking for more than 200k for the car. 

    He is on a tourist visa, does not live in Thailand anymore but in another Asian country. 

    I am not sure which brand of car, but that would be easy to find out. 






     

  8. I am not sure where to go with this, since I am not in Thailand. 

    But there is a guy who claims he is homeless and now have to sleep in his car in Pattaya, he is trying to sell the car but so far no buyers . He is not in great shape, and is 60 years old. But he does not drink or are involved in stupid things, just his money ran out. 

    What type of temporary help can you get for foreigners in Pattaya if there is such a thing , I have already told him about the Norwegian Seamans church. He does earn money remotely, so should be able to survive but the critical time is from today until the end of the month.
