Good to see we are all United on one matter then.

No Surrender to Terroism!!!

Agreed!

How do you define terrorism? Would it include the abduction and murder of activist lawyers or the heartless treatment of prisoners(mostly innocent one presumes) resulting in hundreds of deaths?I have no doubt there are highly undesirable outsiders seeking to stir up trouble in the South, but the severity of the current problems can be largely be credited to decades of neglect, arrogance and incompetence on the part of a succession of Bangkok based administrations.

Boris old chap, I really think you are missing the point of my post. There is not much I can personally do about kidnappings, individual politically motivated murders etc, The point is what would us Farangs do if our life/families felt threatened?

A great proportion of TV Members live here, its where we call HOME now, have families that we care about. Would you put your Children in harms way if yu had a choice?

On the post about the Bali Bombings yesterday a few have already said that they were planning a trip there but won't be going now because of the fear of terroists.

Nothing wrong with that IMHO, that is excersing caution

What was he doing out on his own at that time of night?

Well he did say it would be open on that date...and by golly it was, (but only for him)

Who does he think he's fooling?

Answer: Himself...probably

Following on from the very long thread about the unrest in the Deep South, what would you do if the Millitants bought the fight to Bangkok,(which they are threatening to do) with say 5 or 6 bombings killing maybee 100-200 people.

Would you tough it out or would you be on your way home?

If the conflict DID escalate and the border with Malaysia was closed how would all these fundamentalists from Indonisia and the Phillipines get here? I mean the borders would be so heavily patrolled it would be like trying to climb the Great wall of China, and I could hardly imagine plane loads of terrosits landing at Hat Yai armed to the teeth being permitted entry. (you know a Bazooker, Rocket launchers, just dont think its feasable.

I am not saying that funding will come from elsewhere but terrorists??

What do you think?

WestOzzie,

Great to hear about your success! Running at full capacity is a great achievement.

But if i may ask, why look for a partner, it will only give you a headache. Different opinions, salary discussion, and to quote Yul Brunner etcetera etcetera etcetera....

And can i presume that you already make a decent living? If so, why start a new ratrace, you just escaped one or not? I can be complete wrong with these assumptions but i think they are valid reasons to not find a partner.

I would continue to run at full capacity and if you really really want expand it slowly with your own money, or find a bank that will give you a creditline. That way you are in total control. A much better position for later when you want to expand again or sell or whatever. And no ugly suprises.

Good reply. Don't gp down any Partnership routes if you can possibly help it. I speak from experience and only know of a few that have realy worked well. I knew and worked with my B/P for 10 years before we went into a Partnership. It lasted 2 years and then I had to buy her out as she decided that there was no need for her to permorm her duties in a way to which I was accustommed.

Great idea though. bangers in Bangers

I have ensured that My Wife would be able to live in the manner to which she is accustomed. She gets the House (obviously) Her Car, my Life Insurance policies, her Business, everything in my Thai bank Account and my Pensions, she will NOT starve.

My kids get my Offshore Bonds, and my UK Property and my car. (All of which adds up to more than my Wife gets.

Yoy make a lovely couple, even if you do look like ME!!!!

Some excellent post so far that have given me some food for thought.Ultimatly the excitment may not come from the inevitable 1 from 3 champions but rather the battle to stay up which has the potential to involve far more teams and therefore produce more twists and turns.

NO

For me, the EPL lost its magic when the mighty Leeds were relegated, but that's another subject altogether.

Serious comments:

1) My overriding concern is not that monied teams like Chelsea will dominate in future years; it's that ordinary fans are being excluded from the game to finance the big spending.  I read recently that it costs more to watch certain Div 1 and Div 2 teams than European fans pay to watch Real Madrid, Barca and Juventus.  That kind of stat is frightening and goes a long way to explain why crowds have slumped this year.

2) I'd like to see a salary cap for each division to help even out the playing field.  It would make managers really manage their squad; not simply add monopolise the purchase of players whenever they appear on the market.  Such rules apply to US sports, Aussie Rugby League etc . . why not football?

3) The one BIGGGGG positive of Chelsea's dominance is to see that loathsome bully Alex Ferguson (and his thuggish sidekick Roy Keane) looking more and more uncomfortable every week.  When a manager bans interviews with the fans club tv station because they dared to question his tactics, you know it's a sign that he's losing the plot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Agree wholeheartedly with number 3

I hope Liverpol can beat em. That would send a good message out to the rest of the Premiership that they are not unbeatable.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But liverpool play "INEXPLICABLE" football in the European competitions.

They may well get something out of this game, but will definatley not get anything when they play Chelsea at home in the league at the weekend.

Davey,

I am sorry if I gave you a "Bum Steer" I have never been a teacher and did not know that a Foreigner could get a degree here.

There is some good advice been given by others "in the know" so things could be looking up for you, I do hope so

Good Luck, I am sure we will be seeing you posting on brighter topics when you have sorted everything out

He should tell both of them that he is also in Love with another woman and that he also has a Wife.

Most likely result is he will just be left with the Wife

Go home Dave, get your degree and come back totally legal.

If your TGF Loves you as much as you Love her she will wait, plus you can get a P/T job in Oz and save up to come back regularly until you qualify legitamatley.

Its tough , and I personally take no pleasure in giving you this advice, but unless you want to be looking over your shoulder all the time and want some peace of mind for your future this is what I advise, but of course its only my opinion.

Good Luck, whatever you decide to do

TP

Its gonna be a humdinger of a game.

Will Liverpool be able to keep their European form going after again failing to impress in the league.

Plus how on earth can they play their Euopean style of football against another EPL side?

Beats me, I do not think Pool will win, I am going for a 0-0 draw or I'm with Pie Boy

Thank You very much Scoucer.

You are exceptionally helpful

TP

Where would this forum be if we did not get to have a good larf at these 419ers.

It would be really funny if someone posted that they had fallen for it!

  Then of course,Norwich will be back next year to liven things up

I see

I don't agree that the premiership has lost its magic at all.

At the moment it is Chelsea's time, big spending or otherwise, Arsenal and Man Utd both had chances (and the money) to bolster their challenge this season, but did not take it. Chelsea only signed 2 players in the summer.

We have seen domination by Liverpool, Arsenal, & Man Utd over the years, just because Chelsea are top of the league now and won the league last year does not automatically mean that they will win it this year. At this early stage there is no way teams like Arsenal or Man Utd are going to give up the fight. In fact if they both took maximum points from their home games against Chelsea then the race could well be back on. It only takes one defeat to start some insecurity and a beleif to win.

So its not over, and if you are looking for a team to rise from the Championship and be sucessful without spending shed loads of money look at the "onenillers" Bolton.

I LOVE it!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So do I. The only problem is that now, with the clubs that previously had success year in year out, is Chelsea's success is summed up with one word. MONEY. No mention of good football or good managment. Their money is a perfect 'Get out of Jail' clause. United have got as many 'stars' as Chelsea, it's just that Alex 'Grima Wormtongue' Fergerson, has lost his magic touch. It seems nowadays he thinks that putting five world class centerfowards on at the same time will bring goals. It won't I assure you. I personally don't like Chelsea's idea of just one, but it seems to be working. And of course Mohrino has that uncanny knack of bringing a player on to achieve instant success. A bit like Michael Vaughn.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Who is Michael Vaughn Lamps?

Thanks all, you are a real helpful bunch.

P1P I do have Diebetis type one but had my retinas checked out at the hospital and they said they were OK.

Guess its just age creeping up on me !!

I have taken my Wife to the UK before and she obtained her Visa from BK. That Visa has now expired.

My question is, if she wants to come to the UK again is there an Embassy or Visa office up here or does she have to go down to BK?

Also her passport is still in her maiden name not her married name. She says she does not think it is neccassary to change it, I disagree.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction here.

Many Thanks

Can one assume from the forecast that things are not going to be as bad as first thought? I am no weatherman, and I dont have to be one to know we have had no rain yet, when according to forecasts as far as I can make out the rain should have started yesterday!
