Wish stoke city had 80 million quid to spend over the last 2 years.keano has pised it up the wall.i had a long chat with a sunderland mate and he was justiying the fees and i said he has spent far too much money on players,even jones,he is not a top goal scorer and thats what he was bought for.

thats twice he has walked when things didnt suit him.A clone of kevin keegan,another wannabee.

realy feel sorry for you monkey.its hard to exist isnt it,without all these things.sounds like you are one of those guys that you hate to live next door too.

Tony pullis at stoke will rescue you but it will take about 100,000 million quid to get him away lol.

I have noticed an increase in general living here but i expected it,like any other country,there is inflation.Current exchange rates dont help and also the stocks are still way down for me,but i live comfortable by my atandards.

I dont start crying if nutela is more expensive though lol.

fresh veg,fish,good quality meat are the main ingrediants for a heathy living so my quality of life is betetr.

Its hard to believe many of these guys who commit suicide do not leave a message to loved ones.No matter what state mentalyone is surely you think of the nicer things in life like family.very strange to me why many kill themselves without any tohught to family and friends.

you are dead right singh,we have to pick up at least 3 away wins this season,because we cannot keep winning our home matches,even liverpool dont do that.

good result for derby county,well done lads and hope you get to the final.great that arsenal lost,hate that bunch of scutterbugs.With the naary fixtures coming up,bloody scary,stoke have to pick up some points in dec.

have a good day stokies,and m singh

goarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn stoke

National sales manager for a large chemical company,but retired at 49 to live in this wonderful country.

Its normaly open and chard is pats husband right???

M yhome for 5 years and i feel like a stranger in the uk,hate the place to be honest and only go back to see family,but its still a grind.if thailand goes tits up then will look for anywhere but the uk.

difficult one that.the guy has a deposit to guarantee your condo so its not his fault that the pad stormed the airport.however if he had some balls he would speak with you and see what the situation is with other bookings.

I have noticed,in general that that the old guys who are very fit for their age dont smoke and drink nid noi,and they walk many ks every day.would they be the same in uk,as the weather is realy bad on the joints.i feel very young here with the nice weather and the quality of life.

Never heard that the PAD dislike farangs.and if they didnt they will not get into power.

Thats not an electrical shock thats a static discharge,big difference

Fewer tourists but twice as many Katoeys then last year to make up the numbers, pity i only like 19 yo slim slender gentile ladies they seem to be missing.

Far too late,us expats have got the 19 yo+ all lol.you can have sloppy seconds though

I planned for a much larger private medical plan when i am 65+ so i shouldnt have any worried if i am sick.As far as being a cabbage i thought all thais killed you for your money so no problems there too.

My life is perfect here and over the last 5 years as an ex pat my only worry is not living another 30+ years as i will miss my gf and family so much.

neighbours frigging 6 dogs,5 times a day barking like mad when let out,shit everywhere then she buggers off to a pad rally and leaves farang husband trying to take care of these little dogs/rats.swear one day i will buy a rotty and train it to eat 6 at once.hate them and hate her,as she goes for 700 baht a day,smirking a like a big fat cow,wearing a top thats not even yellow but has a bag with the top in.a bloody coward too,wants the money but not the fight.

SCAMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Thank god the majority of thais religion is buddhism.can you imagine if it was 50/50 buddhism and muslim.this would be like yugoslavia.

that was very funny.

hey hey carm darn

thailand can be a good place to live-like everywhere there are different pro and con

thai people are genrally very laid back, happy, easy going and friendly,on the negitive side, do not go crazy at the double talk, today can be next week, 3pm can 6.30pm

the constant ineffciency and the way foreigners are hit up for more money

and if you do not mind the overt corruption, the joke of the government,the poverty the old men walking around with young girls they have convinced themselves love them, the pollution

as for the thai subject bit, well,, that does not effect you and would you want to be someone who is subject to mind control( not being allowed to question certain institutions)

thailand wants foreigners sometimes in the same way a working girl wants customers- she needs them, yet, she resents them for what she has to do and this need, although it is her house that is the blame

in thailand there exists a sort of resentment toward foreigners and a jealously( all the model try to have white skin), not too much, or anything to worry about people here do not like it when I say that basicly thailand is run by the west,( as it runs many other places) and many thai's know this and resent it

this is part of the reason at the overt national pride- when there is nothing something has to be created to fullfill what is lacking

the paperwork- find a " connection" and it will be sorted

try reading a few books

good luck

and you actualy believe that all the old guys think the tirak loves them,get a life.Many know the score and are happy with it.the poster should get a multi o and do a visa run avery 3 months.i do that as a retirement visa is not for me,i wouldnt go back home to see family,this makes me go back for another visa.

If you don't want to worry about currency fluctuations and putting your money in a bank in Thailand you can apply for a non immigrant OA visa. See the following lisk for info but note that #3 has a reference to immigration in Bangkok that is incorrect. You can only apply for this visa outside Thailand.

Also you can earn interest on deposits that you make in a Thai bank.

Yes there is double pricing. But one way to get around that is to get a Thai drivers license which can be used when going to certain tourist attractions.

The 90 day reports are a pain but not that much and can even be done by mail. They are only to report you are still here along with your current address.

Use some of your free time and go to school and learn some basic Thai. It's not that hard to learn.

Your stay here will only be as good as you make it. With the right attitude you will love it and the people will be more friendly than any where in the world. Just show them some respect and they will give in it return.

excellent post,your pint is half full i see lol.many on here have an half empty pint,they are missing out on so much by being miserable.

I would just remind you that no one is going to lose a right to vote. No one.

Good point, all that stuff the PAD were saying about 70% appointed government and 30% elected, hel_l they were just joshing.

Likewise for the re-eduction of the ignorant - they weren't referring to Issan Taksin supporters, no you got it all wrong.

Like Mein Kampf - "hey guys I was only musing some ideas, don't take me seriously".

There are a few posters here with strong PAD leanings, many (not all) of whom have a history of articulate and well thought out posts. You must know something the rest of us don't, because what I am seeing is not a pretty picture on so many levels. And nothing you are publicly stating stands up. Regardless of Taksin corruption rants, you know darn well that is SOP here, so there must be something else?

sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,maybe these are teachers from bk and workers who are married to hi-so and will have their balls cut off if they dont tow the line.oops i nearly forgot,they have to be white too.

I have a better idea, I will get a group of well educated farangs together and we will volunteer to reeducate the Bangkok elite.

excellent idea sally,the problem is that the bk elite are thick as pig shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

been today,shutting at 11pm not 12.never knew it opened till 12 lol

We can see here in Pattaya.are you sure its Jupiter and Venus
