Talking about that , I notice a lot of young people now on tiktok etc using the word "bro" ...other words such as "mate" etc are fading out 

How are you mate is now How are you bro😳

If it is a female you are addressing, is it SIS ?

Do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim?

 

A very clever answer, thanks. Will think about it and get back to you.

Was you sat or was you stood?

I were laying on a soft Thailand girl and another girl were laying on top of me. It were a wonderful first time experience.

2004. Contract recruitment in NZ, gave flexibility for my more important ocean swimming and triathlon pursuits in NZ/Aust.

Life/work balance.

This is very important what you wrote because you are taking about a job ..back then ...that gave you work life balance enough for you to train in triathlon ,...so the question is was it Monday to Friday work training times were ? and the most important question....did you WIN the triathlons?

Fast forward 20 years and .....your life your fitness is not the same?

Bumped into a old work colleague yesterday that I hadn't seen since April 2004 

 

And we still continued our conversation like it was yesterday,in fact there was no greeting just a conversation about work like we hadn't been gone for 20 years!

 

Time has passed very quick .

I was shocked when he said....its been 20 years !!

 

Where was you in 2004?

What country? What was you doing ?

How has your life changed since 2004?

 

Who were the famous deaths in 2004?

The year 2004 

 

 

 

Learning the difference in was and were.

20 years ago I was 5 months from retiring from the Oz Federal Public Service at age 55.

 

SEAsia was somewhere you fly over on the way to Europe.

Australian Federal public servant ?

Haven't you been retired the last 30 years?😂

Well you are doing well retiring at 55, I'm not sure you can access your Super until 60 tax free though 

 

Oh sorry I read it wrong you were retired in 2004, my mistake 😊

And now 20 years later?

I accessed it all at 55. As you could in those days. Not any more now of course.

 

Met my b/f (40 yrs younger than me) in BKK late 2011, having travelled the world including across China & Central Asia & Russia. Married (Buddhist village ceremony) in 2013, partnered (pre-gay marriage) in Canberra 2014, moved permanently to Surin late 2015, built a mansion a relatively safe 40km from the family farm and living here since 2017. A case of: opposites attract and stay together.

I still live with my Thai wife in the same properties in Bangkok and Rayong I was living in 20 years ago. We have been together since 1984, and married in Taiwan in 1990. The only thing that has changed, sadly, is that my closest friends have all died. Tempus fugit...

I was Chief Manager Investments for a major New Zealand bank, and I and another guy had started the division, which I was now running, along with 25 Investment Advisers and a team of back office investment personnel.

 

A far cry from my days working for oil companies in the Sahara desert (twice), Nigeria, offshore Norway and a couple of North Sea platforms.

 

The stress of the bank job was starting to get to me, so I took a holiday in Phuket, and around two years later I was living here!
