Been following the forums on Thaivisa for a while now. Entertaining to say it at least

Apart from the factual subforums, where newbees normally get some good advice (I admire the visagurus, same questions asked over and over again, and they still manages to keep their cool and give some good advice), we have subforums like General and Pub, where threads seem to live their own life. After a few posts the OP is forgotten and the thread takes of in whatever direction, like a living creature. Those are IMO the most interesting threads.

Posters on those threads (like myself ) are not here to give advice, but merely to offer their POV and opinion, for better or worse. I see some posters ("serial-posters" or gobshite's) with postcounts so high, that they must spend most of their time in front of the keyboard. Is that why you came to Thailand ?

I am not trying to have a go at anyone, as I am in the same boat. I am only here because a lack of nothing better to do. Trying to express my opinion (who cares ) and sometime create some reaction.

Why are you here ??

I usually only post when I am working. It is something to do to make the day go faster and easy to stop and go back to when I need to deal with customers.

Yes I came to Thailand specifically to post on Thai Visa. I do it for the sake of humanity.

Same, same....it kills a few hours....for me its entertainment for the most part....sometimes I might add a comment which is a half intelligent response or even helpful sometimes

My favourite posts are ones in response to people who take themselves far too seriously....

Interesting. You guys get paid/make money whilst posting here. Care to give some hints how I can do the same?

PS. I have no WP.

It's bloody hot working on the farm all day, work for an hour, rest for half an hour.

I can't just fall asleep like my fellow workers, so TV is an easy short-time relaxation choice, then back to work after a rest.

I use it to procrastinate getting my real work done, one of the most useful tools in my box for that purpose.

Usually this is at my own expense in the old days it was at that of my employer, but I'm actively working hard to be a better person from a moral POV.

I find Thaivisa forum an entertaining source of information about Thailand. It is a wonderful mixture of people and information of various backgrounds.

Some writing is just brilliant and some gets unremembered easily.

I have gone through different phases during my time on Thaivisa such as the "newbie" , which means learning the life on the forum, the "shocked" phase, when I believed that there are so many negative people around here. Finally, I got to the "comprehensive" phase, which means I have and understood the life here and learnt how to select relevant information among the plethora of topics. All in all, I am glad I found this forum.

Trolling is a hobby of mine.

It's like housecleaning, really. But I can't actually be bothered with housecleaning ...

I dont post on here much really.

Only for things I need to know, I will ask a question.

When I do make a topic, there is always someone complaining about why I didnt do this or that. Its pretty funny and this place can give me a smile whether they are trolls or not.

I'm writing a book - perhaps future PhD thesis - entitled:

"The Cross-Cultural Sexual Politics of Polyamory in Thailand: How to keep your health, treasure and sanity intact and remain lord and master."

and you all are my co-authors and editors, working just as hard on the project as I do.

I realize that none of you will need to actually purchase the book once it's been published, but I plan to sponsor TV.com for a while to market it, and hope you'll all help pitch it to your friends as well as all the clueless noobs out there.

PM me to book advance access to forthcoming drafts as well as the final first edition at a greatly reduced rate. . .

;-)

I was going to cut down my time, on TV, from 12hrs to 6hrs a day. Will have to put this on hold now due to the fact that I don't want to miss

So that is what you are doing being all over the place here, collecting material. I have to admit your chosen title is spot on! Sums up most of the topics here beautifully. Brought a big smile to my sour face. Thanks

Jingthing - over 33,000 posts and counting!!?? That's a lot of housecleaning you've missed out on.

You must be the gobshite that the OP was referring to, whatever that means.

Well done indeed.

If I don't get the Peace Prize this year, I hope you do.

Ooh and I just ran out of "likes" to reward my loyal fans!

Quick George gimme some more!

Gobshite is a excellent British word and per the definition, you could actually could be classed as one...

Because Thai Visa forums can be such fun as well as being informative.

I'm on here when I am not making love to a beautiful Thai woman, out partying or watching my favourite television shows on my dvd player.

I post on here to annoy soi41

I think it worked.

I'm here mainly for the bigotry, burgers, and racism.
