  1. An erection for 3 days , then you have to go to the gate because the Kerry driver is there with box, Oh ! your really pleased to see me ,what's in here a blow up doll... regards worgeordie
  2. You don't know how lucky you are , my cousin in the UK , wanted to send 1,500 Sterling to my daughter, from her Halifax account , my cousin is 89 ,knows nothing about Internet,smartphones, While at Halifax , they are asking her all kinds of questions, why you sending , who to , why, she says they made her feel like a money launderer , She did this 12 days ago , and the money has still not arrived yet , they first said the money has not gone through , come back in to office ,something wrong, so she had to go again, not easy when you 89 , and it still has not arrived, So I have told her to cancel the transfer ,just send a cheque (yes she has cheque book) to my daughter in Coventry ,and she will then send funds by Wise to me, did it once before and took about half an hour, in meantime Pound has fallen. Regards Worgeordie
  3. I remember the good old times here ,Petrol 8 Baht a ltr. you could get a trolly of food for 500 Baht , interest rates at the banks , I once got 18% ,but the people were a lot happier then ,things were a lot more freewheeling. All the cars were old ,never seen a Merc or BMW , there was none of today's ,I want the latest phone (as there wasn't any ) but you know what I mean. Then came 1978 when the bubble burst ,and the Baht crash , our neighbour , the family had a business , they borrowed a Million US dollars , but did not invest it in the business ,they bought new cars ,stocks and shares ,this was before the crash and stock market was doing well, I don't know to this day if the paid it off. So when interest rates began to fall , had to get out of cash and started to buy property , which could be found cheaply , renting houses was easy as there were a lot of Farangs , missionary groups , etc. Today , nothing seems easy , years of nearly negative interest rates ,Inflation out of control, very few Farangs around looking to rent long term , I still have more than I arrived here with , but for last 2 years have not been able to save a Satang , but still OK. How Thailand has changed , too much of everything , cars, Malls ,and pollution, most people now don't seem to have the same attitude , consumerism ,maybe a bit greed ,it's all about money now ,go into debt to get it, no wonder the people are not happy. Regards Worgeordie
