Walter Mittys And Con Men

[maerim]

it beats the crap out of cable.

Does it now?

Wait till you get our bill!

Excellent post......

And three cheers to Walter. There's an old saying "a fool and his money are easily parted". The OP asked the Q why Thailand attracts so many con-men. Simple.................if a guy is stupid enough to buy a hooker a honda motorbike, or send money to her on a regular basis within 2 weeks of meeting her, or even pay an outrageous 'sin-sod' to a bar girl...................... Well, I think that answers your question!!!

I gotta hand it to this Walter though, what an amazing feat earning £80,000 (5,953,748 baht, at the current exchange rate) for a few weeks work. That would take the average Thai '70 years' to earn that (providing the average wage is 7000 per month), or the average ex-pat 16 yrs (providing his monthly wage is 30,000). So I take my hat off to this Walter character, and you guys ask why these people move to LOS!?!?

Except that it didn't happen.

Except that it didn't happen.

Rather, in Maerim's opinion, it did not happen.

And since Mr Helper says,,,

Excellent post......

I think it is clear opinoms differ.

In my opinom your spelling for a " nukleer fissist" is excellent.

You never did say how "Pern " got to your place, such a long time ago though?

Isn't it spelt "fizzy cist" sort of like a boil that's on the boil,

and a pharmacist would be a boil on an agricultuaral worker,

And is it true that you get hearing aids by not having a condom on your ear when a dick head is around?

This thread should be moved into the 'jokes' section.

An 'English language' subforum would be useful, I can think of a moderator already.
