Anyone who reads the words "miss England" and thinks of something other than a white skinned girl is simply in PC overlode mode! Nothing racist about that concept either, do I need to cite wordsworth, shakespeare etc? "post from a point of information" ??? I can give you centuries of them- books, poems, plays, odes, songs, tales, and more recently films, photos.. Racism doesnt come into it only common sense and factual basis for our concepts. A black english girl is about as common in a historial context as a white african girl, in fact I would argue white african girls are more common than black english girls in a historical context. And no I am not anti black I am simply anti bullshit. Theres nothing wrong with having a black miss england, and theres nothing wrong with having a white miss africa, but to yell at someone who points out the unusualness of such a thing is to be ignorant.

Kill a gf on drugs?

Can´t understand!! I´m always pretty relaxed on drugs, couldn´t harm anyone.

I rather <deleted> my gf on drugs than killing her

This simply says you have far too little experience of drugs! Hope you keep it that way or youll end up like this Korean guy.

Many many people have been in your situation- the best advice is to seek legal counsel.

Did your thai mate then ask if he could borrow some money from you? only kidding...

Call her when you know its off, remember how it sounds..

How did they know he had it if he isnt telling the truth or half of the truth? We'll never know..

Am not an epidemiologist, but wonder the effectiveness of closing schools for 5 days.... Dukkha

Whats all the winking for? Youve already admitted you have no right to an opinion on the subject (by virtue of knowing f all about it).

a missing reverse hostname can cause knock on problems on some networks, sometimes purely because one system expects it and will create a problem for you even when technically it would otherwise be ok.

You should run a full diagnostic on your dns setup, and check you have reverse hostname, qualified nameservers etc.

exactly samran- its respect and then some. be pleased

poor ry12.

As youve seen people get very personal about this subject.

All you are doing is voicing the already inherent drives in all of us to produce the best possible offspring and by best I mean so that they will have as many natural advantages as possible.. Nowadays in PC terms this is of course known as racism. As is breathing, eating and a few other human things. Bear in mind however, even with the perfect mother, your kid might pop out deformed. Im white and boy am I glad, if I was black Id have to worry so much more about my kid being mistreated than parents normally do. Of course its not proper to talk about these things. We're still all victorians deep down.

I think 99% of the bitterness comes from language issues. Being surrounded day after day by people speaking a language he cannot understand, the average westerner will become introvert, suspicious, lacking in self confidence and ultimately bitter. Sure, other things come into the mix (bad experiences with people etc), but I believe this to be the main reason for the average moaning expat. And the solution is easy- learn the dam_n language! I find that the more Thai someone understands the happier they are here, and it makes perfect sense.

Is it a coincidence that 109 people were Thais, 109 people did not need a visa and 109 people thought the moderation was "too lenient"? Just joking though!! Id say its vindication for the moderation team with over 80% saying moderation was "fair".

Have you been able to verify the story about the loan? I wish you all the best.

why did you go to meet the family after only 6 meetings? You asked for it!

The worst I ever saw was a road flattener (not sure what they are called- the jcb type with a very large front cylinder wheel) go over a mans head and literally pop it. There was a thrad on TV at the time about that accident.

its all going to end in tears!

I have a good friend back in the uk who is started as a hynoptherapist and later ended up in the tv entertainment biz, but he treated several alcoholics before that and two of them are sober to this day to my knowledge after only a few sessions with him and no meetings. However, I think AA is a very good thing.

I think that test is scaremongering. As you hinted, it applies to almost everyone. So vague and broad.

I believe to help with the sleepless issue when you stop drinking, its better to go to the gym or swim hard for a bit before sleep. Make yourself exhausted through that, or perhaps sex (!), and you shouldnt need to be drunk to sleep

I dont know if its pride or principles but either way its pretty ridiculous to get so het up about such a small situation. Live a month in the policemans shoes and then see if you really want to get so offended by it. Your life is infinitiely better so why not allow him his methods? Just trying for a different angle here... lol

haha, like police would be trying to resell 0.3 g of ice and 20g of weed. Come on.

He was a fun cop, and we both laughed. I then told him that I live here and help take care of Pattaya when there are no tourists and that Pattaya should help take care of falang like me. To my surprise he tool the ticket from me and marked off the no hemet charge only leaving me with a no license charge. He was totally cool and every time I see him out I smile and wave to him. He's the guy that usually hangs out there, always in a mask now with glasses. Super nice guy. So they are not all bad. It's just the bad apples that drive us crazy.

Case in point! You could also turn the bad ones to your side too, its entirely down to your skill. There is no such thing as a thai cop who cannot be turned. Its their nature to bond, form relationships and put you in a certain category as soon as possible after meeting you. Up to you if you can exploit this or not.

Maybe you talk differently if you are just walking down Walking Street and some TG starts shouting at you that you just raped her. You will be detained for a few days and only THB 200,000 - THB 400,000 bail will set you free.

Loads of witnesses but they're all laughing with the situation.

Yes, THB 400,000 isn't THB 400, but the fact is similar.

Erm, no thats a completely different situation, as was Loongs card playing example.

How does it compare to Jakarta? Ive lived in Jakarta and I loved it, despite the grinding poverty and filth.
