JimmJimm,

welcome to bedlam mate.

May I ask how old you are and what you do, and where?

I'm a brit, ex=resort manager, part time teacher, and general vagabond ex-expat.escapee in thailand. Though I evaded the great Empirical machine of the UK by skipping off to central america, where I ran a big cocktail bar/concert venue for a couple of years, I've now been re-captured and forced to re-integrate myself into society in the UK since March. I'm a cook in a primary school at the moment.

There's a lot of excitable people who've not been in here a year yet and think they own the place.

We mostly just disregard them and anything they say, although we usually don't put them on ignore for just incase they say something sensible, we'd like to catch them doing it and praise them for doing so.

Notable members in this regard are Crowboy (cawboy) Jet Gorgon (medus-a-lot, snakehair, etc), Thaddeus (Taddy), Suiging (limpalong, limpy, limpdikc).

Some members have a reputation that far outweighs their qualities as a poster, but we revere them happily nonetheless.

Notable members in this regards include: Yorky (who should be joining us any post now, though has always been among us as a special member), Farangconnection (just cos he runs the drunkest expat pub int he country (I can't wait to go!)), Totster ("cos he's Totster, ya know?" (this quotation is ® 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Thai Visa - thaivisa.com | All rights reserved.

Suegha, cos he's a tiger, and you don't p1ss off a tiger. Supernatural power and all that.

Now then you have another league. These guys are like the civil service of bedlam. They provide the odd thought inspiring thread, the odd jest in banter, every now and then a glimpse into their own personas, some more than others. They are mostly randomly known to eachother, often by 6 degrees of seperation or more.

Here I think of Thaibebop, ELSE , Tippaporn, Bazmlb, Mossfinn, The Scouser, and a lot of others in here. Oh, and me kayo :o

The girls who keep it all alive in here, the cheerleading squad, our sisters, mothers, lovers and friends are ELSE (again!), Khall64au, Seonai, Donna, Boo, Mig16, November Rain, Patsycat, Glauka, though the last two have lovers outside the forum I reckon.

Right that's enough name dropping. I'm gonna get it from somebody or other now... Either for dropping their name, or for NOT dropping their name.

Welcome.

If I was mad you'd know it.

You don't get mad in Bedlam Jim, you get even.

Or else you might have a tigger by the tail and then you know what they say,' You just can't let go'.

Or you might even find yourself dancing with the Devil and once he touches you, ' He just wont let go'.

Written in Scriptures them, my lad.

Good Luck

Yeah, the scriptures as written by Moss... :o

I'll give you 3 profiles and you can guess which one I am.

I'm 66, and spent most of my life on a Nebraska farm. I have rough, strong hands. I've never had any other job but farmin' and then I retired 5 years ago. I have spent the last 4 years traveling around. I've never been married and worked on 1000 acres as part of the family ownings.

Thailand was the favorite place I found though I also enjoyed New Zealand and India.

I'm planning my next trip for Christmas and I'm trying to get some of my brothers to come along to Hawaii in Christmas and Thailand for New Year's. I'll stick around on a retiree visa for a year.

Secondly,

I'm 44 and live in Thailand with my lover Bop. Yep, he's a man of 21, and he's so cute.

I'm a financial expert and have worked in the cruise ship industry, music industry, and then moved my financial skills to the actual financial world of international banking and then stocks. My expat position in Bangkok was eliminated so now I'm in Hong Kong. Well, I'm technicall on a long-needed break after a year in Hong Kong and am in Thailand. I'll be in Singapore next year, though, and hopefully Bop can come with me. Perhaps he can work in a Thai restaurant or just sit at home keeping my place clean. He's a clean freak and so am I.

Lastly,

I'm in my 20s. I've spent 3 years teaching in Thailand but am no longer there. I have other skills though, which may find use in Thailand if I come back. I am an ardent Liverpool fan to the death. That's strange as I don't live in England and only visited Liverpool for a week. I always cheered for them though as I had the most fun in the hostel there than any other place when I was a young student/traveler near London. When I actually started watching closely the last 3 years there was no other team for me. I don't know why I became so passionate so quick but I did. I knew they were underdogs to beat Juventus, Chelsea, and Milan but I believed they could do it and they did. That cemented my heart in Liverpool Red for life.

So it's the third one jimjim! My wife is a big Liverpool fan, she being from Liverpool! Once again, welcome to forum 47!

edit: I stand addressed and redressed (but not undressed).

Welcome.

Indeed a warm welcome to all.

As an aside, Kayo's avatar tells you all you need to know about him..................

Welcome to Chinthee

Moss...quit slacking and get to work!

Oh, and me kayo :o

Just a trace of arrogance there methinks, applied with a trowel.

Did I feel any umbrage about the 'been here less than a year' comment?....... yes I did.... everybody starts somewhere, you would do well to remember that.

All masters begin as amateurs.

All masters begin as amateurs.

Although some, undoubtedly have natural ability to start with and are destined for greatness...

Are you suggesting , by your use of the word "some" , that it is possible to achieve "master" status with no natural ability whatsobloodyever. To tell the truth many modern politicians would bear your theory out.

PS The pederast in me would question the use of the comma after the word "some".

:o

I guess I pushed a button on the lift I didn't know was there and somehow ended up here in Bedlam.

Oh, and I'm waiting for Jet to initiate my newbieness into the club here.

Hehehehe.

Well, he's no angel, but if he can walk, I'll take him. And he's asking for his own hazing, as well. What kind of moron would do that? Lemmeeseeeee, he knows all about West Ho, lived in Bev Hills and thinks he's a matinee idol. Well, we all have a past. I think I'll ask Tiggy and Kayo to sit on him for awhile and see if he squeaks out any more fantasies. Kinda weak in the substance category there, Newblette. So, what's a chin thee? A greeting at Chinese takeaways for courtiers: Chin thee, Milady, chin thee, milord. A chin wag or do you drop to the floor and chin it? Or is it Chin tea? What a colonic cleansing agent? I think that's Weho's department. Sounds a bit fishy to me. Ah hah! Skin thee! You a cheapskate, then, Newbegger?

I think I should initiate Crushednuts here as well. Although he's been around so long, he's like an old cabbage rotting the new stock. How did I know he never rolled in the wards before this? Crikes, he's been here two years plus, ain't he? Lazy sod. Now trying to give me sass for taking charge of hazing. None of you gits would stand up to the plate, would ya? Sure Mossy and Tiggy, bless them, welcome everyone and ask them to tell their stories, but who took charge of showing these worthless cretins the ropes?

Right, let's get on with it then, shall we?

By the power invested in me by my own accord and as the newly crowned Queen B*itch of MTWland (by MTW herself), I dub thee newbie Chintea as Chintzy, Chintzer and Chintz, which shall be your sign off here and forever more in Beddies, unless we come up with something more meaningfully derogatory.

Coldcrush is and has already been reassigned the code pass of Crushednuts, but here's two backslaps to confirm it.

Hear this and take heed: You're not allowed to spit here; Sceaspit has the dibs on that. You also may not shoot any verbal missiles because that's Blaster's perogative. Not allowed to fly paper airplanes or have an exclusive British isle; that's Squeegee's territory. FS is the only one allowed to fart. Raro cooks our books. The tape deck, if he ever shows up, has the right to do most anything, and you must obey. Only Robski is allowed to try and belittle me. Duckie is out on a mission, but when he gets back, you are not allowed to shoot, kill or cook him. Kan Win has exclusive rights for all family snaps. If Limpalong says touch, you touch; if Cawbie says don't touch, you don't touch (PS, they are Siamese twins). Thaddy is in charge of sugar and spice and all the other things from Kmart. Kerryd is in charge of intelligence, so you must check all of yours with him for safekeeping. You must reply truthfully to any thread posted by Stolly.

NR is in charge of the candy buttons, Miggy gets to eat everyone's chocs. Do not, I repeat, do not throw anything into Ol Croc's cell because you will be forced to go in and retrieve it. Terry57 cruises by on occasion; you must pay obeisance. No catapult shooting at Grover. And any bad words to the ladies, you get spread-eagled to the wheel, Scouser spins it and the ladies throw plastic eating implements, pots and pans at you. When they run out of those and you still have not repented, well, you don't want to get that far (let's just remind you that Bambi is a vet, and she does free castrations). Boonie is in charge of American movies and polisci, Chownah does the popcorn, Cvic handles stupidity control. BJ just blows his own horn, but we love him. Watch your flippies, Austhaied has a shoe fetish.

Ok, now just P*O*.

hey snakehead! Whaddo I get to do?

I ain't just sitting on every newbie

Pshh.

Incompetence TLW

This ain't TLW, Fluffy. What do you want to do? Wrangling newborns to the flloor for a spanking to life is real important. You been scouring the halls, changing av masks and making a nuisance of yerself these days. Apply to Tippy for a new position; he's in charge.

:o:D

Fluffy! - The pink dancing elephant. The cute liddle wabbit.

Tears in eyes! tlw

Dearest Jetliner,

Or would you happen to be one of the Thunderbirds, Tin Tin perhaps?

Sorry, but I'm only here to flush out Weho and MTW and look at the girly pics. Thanks for the heads up on the characters here tho. Yeah, I do claim to know some inside info on tinsel town, but won't tell you why or how.

Thanks for the moniker.. Chintzy. I like that. Although I thought I read from Bendix recently that he's the cheap one. However, riddle me this: find out what chinthee really means. google it. No work. Hint: it's something not far from here.

elephant1wt0.gif

It looks like aerobics might go 10k today.

Watching tlw

Kayo! You gotta new job (Tippy's taking care of the dog watch). Go do research on this wanklette, chintzy.

The cheek, calling a Gorgon a liner. MTW and Weho are not in Beddies, wanklette. MTW is toast; I did her already. Chin to the floor and ten hail Gorgons, Chintzy.

:D

not sure if i'll reach the big one today guys and gals... got a five minute window before my second full workshift for today.

:o

BTW, my other shift got canceled. so I got a twelve pack, and it seems I might be in a posting mood...
