Jet Gorgon Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Geez Garro, maybe you could show everyone your true abilities by helping Gumby rescue Pokey from the clutches of a small businessperson who refuses to pay higher wages, medical, dental, sick leave, or pension because Pokey sits on his ars all day and contributes nothing to the biz. There! Hours of youe time spent for free in wild gestulations and rhetoric about how the common person deserves to suck as much as he can out of the person who created the biz. Gods bless the creators. Gods bless all the people who work hard. Gods banish the unions and leeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's addictive indeed. Do we need to start a support group? Wouldn't a "I Spend Too Much Time onthe Forum" sub-forum be counter-productive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc101 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Has Thai Visa got any of you lot in trouble before? Do a google on internet addiction. This is common, not just on Thai Visa but the internet in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiromj Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I was posting on a different (Pattaya) forum. One day I came to work and "BLOCKED". Opps, so far nobody has said anything though. Also, I am one of those people the internet connection at work but not at home.

Mid Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's addictive indeed. Do we need to start a support group? G you need to start a consultation forum based on someone Addicted to Thaivisa.com lol . ''Is there a doctor in the house'' Should we use a 12 step format? One thread at a time? 'Hi, my name is Garro and I'm addicted to posting s**t on the internet' All the way to step twelve; Mrs Garro has left me, good timing really because I just need to post one more topic...... Too Late ............it's been done already ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasreeve17 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Guesthouse mentioned "Thetyme" a nicer guy on TV you could never meet, a real gentleman with heaps of good advice to offer. I would love to see him re-instated...Can banned people be re-instated if there is a good argument for them to be so.? Why was he banned? (sorry about the colours, I keep getting - error, incorrect tag data, blah, blah. Drives me insane.) Garro - you're a loser. Wasting your life. You have so much potential. Get off the forum and achieve something! Sorry, did I say Garro, I meant jasreeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garro Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 I can't believe I've wasted nearly half a day on TV talking nonsense again. I have a 10,000 word essay to write but instead I have spent the morning discussing the merits of going hunting with a chainsaw. I need help.

Just write your essay based on chainsaws and hunting, and I bet you get top marks. I'm just waiting for some tardy-arsed customer to get back to me, then its full steam ahead to the pub.

THAILIBAN Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Mods - could ban people for their own good. Very True Brit......I would imagine that about 10% of the time I spend on TV is useful....but I hardly ever go to Bedlam...now that IS a complete waste of time. I agree completely with the 10% quota. but after a health incident in the last year, which almost sent me to NIRWANA, I managed to stay away from this forum for almost 5 months (the first 4 weeks I was not able to use any computer in the hospitals anyway). so I came back with another account just few days ago - but sure I will not spent as much time here as before, or desperately try to read all of the the "new posts since ur last visit". I survived 5 months without TV so now I know I am able to get rid of any Forum-addiction (I am a member in at least 20 messageboards, most if it is travelling in Asia or Expats in Asia). but in no other board I spent more time than here (the messages are just too aplenty...).

kayo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SAY IT AIN't SO!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna make a mirror image of the forum the day before and then install it so i can pretend to be on the forum, if that happens.... I can't believe I've wasted nearly half a day on TV talking nonsense again. I have a 10,000 word essay to write but instead I have spent the morning discussing the merits of going hunting with a chainsaw. I need help. Its ok, you're amongst like-minded people here. Just write your essay based on chainsaws and hunting, and I bet you get top marks. I'm just waiting for some tardy-arsed customer to get back to me, then its full steam ahead to the pub. Yeesssss!!!!!!!!! Post the essay on here first so we can discuss/bash it and open four mildly related spinoff threads about essay writing/chainsaw/the rights and wrongs of hunting/addictive forums...

qwertz Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I hate computers because I spend on average 8-9 hours a day alone translating for a living. I don't have a boss to answer to. My rig is always online and every hour or so I stand up, stretch and tune in to the forum for a little chuckle, which I don't have to sit down for and it's only a matter of a minute to toss in a comment or two. I love TV, it does my tired old eyes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
