Check out a UK telephone booth, it's a whale competition. Those aren't their real photos in the telephone booths . Prostitutes from all over the World go to work in London and there is much more variety than in Thailand , where they all look similar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Mark Twain: "If I do not get out of debt in three months --- pistols or poison for one --- exit me." "You see, the lightning refuses to strike me -- that is where the defect is. We have to do our own striking, as Barney Bernato did. But nobody ever gets the courage till he goes crazy." "Suicide is the only sane thing the young or old ever do in this life." "Unfortunately none of us can see far ahead; prophecy is not for us. Hence the paucity of suicides." Is there really nothing that Mark Twain did not write about, so clearly? Even Hemingway lauded Mark Twain in stating that the book, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was the book from which .... “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called 'Huckleberry Finn,'” Ernest Hemingway famously declared in 1935. “It's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before." Mark Twain? Who was he? Maybe Twain was just another tortured soul who wrote better than all other Americans. Never give up until you have written the perfect sentence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightlife becomes inaccessible at times. The suburbs are fun in the summer but when winter sets in its a bit grim. The ideal is 9 months here and 3 months there..but covid stopped that. When I return home its both unnerving and reassuring that my same mates are in the same Pub in the same seats... Your last sentence ! After my first visit out here before it became permanent I went back to my old job and a chap there said ' 'ello Phil where have you been not seen you lately '. Just LoS for a month or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPYNUFF Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 To Hammer, querying why I put a "confused" against his post. Another reader has already answered you. Please re read the original post, the guy stated quite cleary his thoughts, suicide was on his mind. For using the monikerHammer, you must be a sensitive little sole to get upset at criticism. As for seemingly destructive comments o n this firum, we must remember quite a lot of us are no longer in the prime of youth, and can get bitter about life as we age. However I do feel most of the posts appearing here are from people who do like this country, and its people, but are bitter about practices and laws that treat the average Thai person badly, to say the least, and are discriminatory to not just us farangs, but the poor Thai person as well . The nature of Thais is not to criticise or complain, thats considered bad manners, whilst farangs reserve the right to complain against injustice and corruption, is that wrong? . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read 'end it all' as leaving an old life behind and starting afresh. I went on to read the rest which is positive and life affirming. Now I am confused too as to why someone would come to Thailand to commit suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
