Non Farming Threads that Might Interest You ...

I love the Farming Forum … full of ‘salt of the Earth’ type of Folk … and I know that some of you very rarely venture outside this Forum.

Here is a place to start and let others know of some threads that might be of interest to them and have kept the trolls at bay.

So, if you think another thread from Thai Visa Forum is worth a read just copy and paste the link here … [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/img]

A nod to [b]theblether[/b] who alerted me to it some time ago ...

One of the best feel good threads I read this year ... just minted by [b]weegee[/b] ... [url="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/604756-amazing-it-works/"]amazing-it-works[/url]

[i][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I would like to thank you David for sharing these posts which a lot of us would not have seen otherwise. Keep up the good work,[/font][/i]

If you are crap at taking photos but see pictures all around that you wish you could take ... have a look at ... [url="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/567215-watutsis-photos-bangkok-street/"]watutsis-photos-bangkok-street [/url]

Nothing HI-So there ... just everyday images on Bangkok Streets that you see ... well, everyday ... but captured so well.

Not a long thread ... done in 5 mins ... but need a reasonable connection as they are photos ... enjoy ... [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png[/img]

Came across this in the Housing Forum ... [url="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/201757-local-wood-varieties/"]local-wood-varieties[/url]

I haven't read it all, but certainly an excellent OP.

First ... this comes with a warning ... it's my OP ... [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif[/img]

Just something completely different that might appeal to the boy in you.

I pick a plane a day which flys overhead (I'm staying just south of Swampy) and ask you the Airline, make and model.

Thanks David great way to pass the afternoon while on Christmas hols.[img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wai.gif[/img]

Here is one in the General Forum that might interest you.

There is no trolling ... but some heavy hitting by the usual subjects however ...

It's an interesting subject, the nature of which might appeal.

It's about going 'all in' in Thailand.

A quote from the opening OP ...

[indent=1]"I'm intrigued by the amount of people who have went "all in" in Thailand. They have poured all of their wealth and resources into the country, and they have made the commitment to live there for the rest of their lives."[/indent]


[b]Going 'All In' can be found [url="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/610665-going-all-in-in-thailand/"]here[/url].[/b]

Have a look at [url="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/617997-amazing-thai-style-construction/"]amazing-thai-style-construction[/url] ... sorry Jim ... you need a bit of band-width for this one ... [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thanks again Dave......you are truly the Master of research. 

I like this thread, and never would've found it without your help.

 

Just curious about Jim....have always liked his comments......is there a section available where we can find out the wherefores and why's someone departs our forum?

 

Or is that part of the the unmentionable section.

 

Cheers.

Mate ... I really don't research things much.  But, like a magnet, some things are drawn to me.

 

Part of my old job description was to write politician's speeches ... so I learnt quickly to sort the wheat from the chaff ...

 

As for the other part of your question.

 

There is no collective area and the question has been asked before in the Forum support section.

I share your sentiments re Jim ... hence taking the risk to mention it.  There is a recently locked thread where-is-jim where the issue is discussed.

Sadly, that is where the commentary stops and, for the sake of this thread becoming collateral damage, best not to mention it further here.

 

But, if I could encapsulate your, mine and many other readers here ... he will be sadly missed by all ...

Some blokes just have a knack of telling a life story in a way that you can empathise with the writer.

 

Here is the-battle-of-my-life in the I'm Too Fat Forum ... it's the OP that is of note ... the rest is just advice.

OP by one of the Mods ... just some fun.
