I'm lovin' that. I don't know whether to feel sorry for him, or think he deserves her. I remember the wedding where the couple got massive public support. Hard to understand why they blew it so badly.

Just to address a few of the points you make. the government sought foreign nurses who were happy to work in the NHS as they were being paid very much more that they were getting in their home countries I went to work in the NHS as I got better pay and more holidays than in NZ. In the last year 2000 doctors and 40,000 nurses left the UK to countries such as Australia , New Zealand and the U.S.A. where their profession is well paid and respected The nurses won't be going to NZ for the pay as NZ nurses are leaving to work in Australia where they get better wages. They may move to NZ for other reasons. I left NZ to work overseas as NZ nurses were paid very low wages and I certainly don't remember any government "respect" for nurses. Furthermore some of the NHS nurses who left , went and worked for agencies and doubled their income but ironically were then working again within the NHS as agency nurses at a huge cost to the government. At the end of last century, many Australian nurses worked in the NHS as agency nurses, but the government stopped that as costing too much, and recruited African nurses that were happy to work for low wages that were better than what they got in Africa.

If old guys want to have a beer at "breakfast" time, so what? Does it affect anyone else? Better than taking illegal drugs and causing problems all day long like youths do these days. Goblin mode is a prefect word to describe many of the youths I see causing trouble at any time of day.

Given your <deleted> posts attacking me personally, I'm extremely happy to have you on ignore.

It's not the effort required but a lack of interest in seeing anything concerning that woman. I had to mute her soon as looked at the vdo you linked to.

I'm happy for him that he didn't end up back in the US. IMO he's a hero for what he did.

Calm down, it's a forum, not the UN, and I do not have to agree with you, nor does my post have to conform to your druthers and no, I am not blaming Brexit for the long standing deficiencies in NHS management.

Excellent post. Keep 'em coming.

I'd have looked if I'd seen the comments with that link. Just not interested enough to be furkling around Y T looking for stuff.

Sand and camels in Riyadh? I had a few more years there than you, and I was rarely bored. Luckily my job was never boring- despite having to put up with some unpleasant characters, and we had a great social club. Did hundreds of interesting trips with them.

I feel sorry for you. My wife would have gone to the bar with me, or not. Up to me.

If that's an average Pattaya hotel price it's no longer a cheap and cheerful place, just a grotty town with a bad beach.

Even the rain is great. I'd sit in the covered balcony and look at it. That monsoon rain is awesome.

No sense of adventure? I always loved traveling in Thailand, but not by air.

700 baht for bus/ ferry/ bus EACH, ONE WAY. LOL. If Samui is really that expensive it's a sorry state of affairs.

If cost was a factor he'd go down by bus/ train.

Been a while since I was last on Mae Nam, but I'd live there. Was very quiet end of beach, and a ways to shops etc. Only drawback IMO is that beach isn't that great, but OK if not fussy. There was a big resort up there that a friend stayed at so went up that end to see.

2 months exactly since OP posted and nothing. I rest my case.

I guess the m'bike must have been very large to steal the below. Perhaps it had one of those sidecar things on it.

Openly "in your face" wealthy when so many are poor is never a good idea. The destruction indicates an element of hatred over and above merely wanting to steal. 3 houses left empty! How about renting a couple,which would mean someone to keep an eye on the third? OR not sacking/ letting go the maid to save a few baht- it's not like he couldn't afford her. Burglars were seen- but not stopped, apparently, hmmmm. Wonder why?

Ah, but the usual suspects will have fatter wallets, so mission accomplished. Since when was 7 11 in the public toilet business?

Doesn't negate the rules. Need both parties in the room for an amphur divorce. Just wait till 2 years after he left her and get divorce on basis of abandonment. If she loves you she'll wait, won't she? LOL.

What you say is correct as far as it goes. I doubt many have a problem with the present system, but the problem is eliminating entirely the ability to exist outside the hacker's domain.

Fair enough. I missed that.

Errrr, he changed his mind and had to be forced by the court to buy twitthing.
