When your wife starts asking about what life insurance policies you have!

Blimey, stone the crows...

Would you Adam and Eve it?

My dad had businesses in Africa so by 6 years old I had already been to Zambia, South Africa, Kenya, Malawi and Uganda. Circa 1972 British born and always had wandering feet.

Last time I was there they wanted to see 20,000 cash and a ticket out of Thailand. That was an METV though so an O visa might be easier I dunno.

Everything there is flexible though subject to certain gratuities being given.

50,000 is not a lot for these guys. They are high turnover outfits just making their profit on the spread.

And if Israel was like Brussels? A peace loving liberal tolerant unarmed democracy?

Yes, they would be slaughtered in their thousands!

The trouble with sharing the same living space with savages is you become savage yourself.

That is looking more and more likely to be the future of Europe.

Well unfortunately it seems there are now hundreds of little Palestines scattered throughout the cities of Europe. We are only just starting to experience the daily terror that the Israelis have been living with for decades.

I just have the same thought running through my head. I am so glad Islam is a religion of peace otherwise we would really be screwed.

Poh jaa would be a cute way for kids to call a father like figure. The jaa particle is something kids or women would use and is quite effeminate.

A teacher has a higher status and are normally referred to as kru or Kuhn kru. You might get away with Kuhn Mae but that's a bit informal too. Basically it is a nightmare and if you don't know what you are really saying then best steer clear.

I wonder how he is going to get home? I would not like to fly on a plane with him

Just a sec I will go and check the bus times for Moh Chit to Moscow.

You are slippier than an eel covered in oil.

Next time you visit T/L plan to arrive a week before she thinks you'll be arriving... You can say when you get here that you managed to get off work early as things were slack, or some similar story.

If she's happy to see you early then it's good news (but still be on the lookout for other signs).. But if she's angry that you surprised her or "unavailable" then odds are you're being played.

Yeah but the lie why she cannot come right now will be so good and so convincing he will just wait in his hotel room like a good little boy.

I have never been that political really, but having spent 15 years in Thailand with zero welfare state, health care or any other kind of safety net I have become very self-reliant and almost appreciate the benefits of small government and limited intrusion by the state in to my private life.

However, all my old friends and family from back home seem to have become rabid lefties, and their facebook posts are like political broadcasts all espousing the latest moral outrage they feel about immigrants rights, how much they hate Donald Trump, UKIP, teacher's pay, doctor's pay, anti-racism etc etc. It really becomes so tedious to wade through but the trouble is if I block them all I won't have any friends left ((

Does anyone else get this, and how do they deal with it. I wish people would not use Facebook as a political platform as for me it is just a way to keep up with old friends and see what they are up to.

JJ.

Was sat next to a particularly moody looking girl once and joked with her that a smile cost nothing. She told me to f&&k off. Guess she was having a bad day...

I guess what she gave you was free also

No, actually it cost her.

My point anyway is that people in a service industry shouldn't come to work with a filthy attitude!

Most government hospitals have diabetic clinics every week. Have heard that many farang attend them too.

Smashing up a religious shrine would be pretty much a death sentence.

There used to be a good place in the banking area at Central. Maybe not quite as good as SuperRich but better than the others.

Told an American I was from the UK once. He had never heard of it and assumed I meant the Ukraine!

RIP Por

Actually I would translate it as...

A. She isn't pretty at all, whose younger sister is she?

B. She is your younger sister that's who.

A. Yeah, yeah I know.

I hope there is a special place in hell for bankers.

Just a quick trip report.

Am a British citizen and applied for a METV at Melbourne consulate. They asked for bank statement (I gave them copy of Thai bank account) and a copy of return leg of flight ticket BKK-MEL-BKK. That was it, submitted passport on Monday morning, picked up new visa on Wednesday.

Am currently on a diet of Mama noodles and tinned tuna.

Where did it all go wrong indeed
