[robblok]

This thread is great......

It has gone totally off Topic and ended up being taken over by some guy who is living in arctic conditions in sunny Glasgow, telling a guy who chooses to live in Thailand that he made the wrong choice.

According to the book of blether, you are better off spending your dosh on airfares and hotels instead of living in Thailand full time, then again, he does know more about Thailand than the rest of us who actually live here, so maybe he's onto something.

Over to ye blether.

High of 6c today in Glasgow, low of 0c, and a 10% chance of rain too.

Tommo, I just can't understand why you don't move to Glasgow, you could hang out with blether, go on the pull at the casinos, you know it makes sense !

@Banzai

Used to live and work in Glasgow ........ once was enough.

@Blether

What happened to the little girl you were helping?

You got loads of likes for telling us all how you were gonna help her.

I'm still helping her....her father died in November,

[TommoPhysicist]

Good on ya.

[theblether]

Good on ya.

You know the background of the story Tommo, you know what my concern / complaint was.......in the end the man died, until her Canadian family does the right thing I'll pay the school fees etc. If they don't do the right thing then I'll pay the fess for the next ten years, and I'll be proud to do so.

I'll be even prouder if her Canadian brothers take care of her.

[HeavyDrinker]

Oh?

You do walk into these things at times Mr B.

[canuckamuck]

Can anyone remember what we were talking about?

[transam]

Brigades l think, ooooops, noooooooooooo, it's short measure of Coke.

[TommoPhysicist]

I'll live here until it all goes pair shaped ....... and then I'll live somewhere else.

I don't need a company to pay my expenses.

But im still living the life, and you're still a romance tourist.

Albert Underwood Contraire. Lives next door to Blind Tony down near Finsbury park.

The thread is a cracker......I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I earn more than in a day than most of you guys earn in a month......if I have handcuffs on their golden......I'll swan in to Thailand for three months on 30 March and let my co-directors run the business, but I'm the CEO.

I'll fly in and fly out every month at my companies expense after that......and if Thailand goes pear shaped, well........so sad too bad, I'll go somewhere else.

All I can see on this thread is pathetic insecurity and jealousy, the day I think it's an achievement buying a £500 flight hand me a rope.

Some of you guys really don't know how pathetic you are........no marks hanging on for grim death to a fading dream, no marks that couldn't hack it in the West.

Richard Branson is a businessman and also a CEO.

Fred Bloggs the taxi owner is also a businessman,maybe if he owns more than one taxi he can call himself a CEO.

By the time I was your age I was already a millionaire,yet I still think it's an achievement if I can buy a £500 flight,if other people think it's OK for them to pay over the odds,be it for a plane ticket or a cup of coffee,more fool them.

During one period in my life,I had a finance company,amazing how many people I came into contact with,who gave all the appearances of being rich,large house,expensive car or cars etc,etc.In many cases they were only fooling themselves.

What happened to your girlfriend with the leg tattoo?.

THEBLETHER

Pay attention........I dumped her ages ago, anyway any property I own is owned outright, I'm debt free......what is it to you? are you jealous?

Jealous of What?

I live here in beautiful Thailand,lovely weather,food etc,fairly easy going,if you can ignore the rampant corruption.No need to work again,no money troubles.

While you have to live and work in Glasgow(oh my Budda)with all those smiling people(HaHa) The only things that you have that is better than I, is good medical facilities,no corruption,and fellow motorist who know how to drive without endangering your life.

Never mind at least you can make frequent tourist trips to sample the lives of us ex-pats.

[HeavyDrinker]

^ there's nowt wrong with Glasgow laddie! It's a fine city! Not as good as Mancherster but its OK...

I don't have to work nontabury.......I just enjoy making more money than I'll ever need.

One hopes for a hefty donation to the Heavy Drinker Foundation for Fallen Women.

It's a local based chariddy for whom I do a lot of work for. They're based in Morning Night bar on Soi 4.

Sorry but you've gone down in my estimation,your working for what?.to earn more money than you'll ever need,just think what you've just wrote. Remember the richest people are to be found in the Grave Yards. Your only here once,it's not a practice run,you could die tomorrow,what good will your money be to you then, sure keep some aside in case you don't die tomorrow,but to earn more than you'll ever need,that's stupid. In my life I've come across many people who did not work TO live,they instead decided to live To work,sure some of them became very rich,but they never had a life.It!s all about balance.

I remember reading the start of this thread and then not bothering. When I noticed it was now 8 pages had a look at the last page......<deleted>!

Can someone give me a quick management summary of how it has gone from the OPs title to ? whatever it is now - seems more interesting but i can't be bothered reading 150 or more posts

There is a scottish poster that likes this, and yet he is a member of the "I'm too important to read your posts but of course I will reply since it ups my impressive post count brigade."

He is also a member of the "with a zillion posts I can call anyone a prick, and I earn a lot of money too brigade".

Alledgedly.

[Bangkokhatter]

the thread is all about some Scottish bloke who likes to tell us ex-pats all about his fantastic life and how rich he is.....no idea what that has to do with a foreigner/Thai couple talking Thai in a conversion, but then again this forum is all about The Blether....

[how241]

So does it upset you when an expat, tourist (foreigner) talks with your

girlfriend or wife in Thai and not always including you in the

conversation. Some partners know excellent Thai and I find it very

useful practice to talk with fellow foreigners as it helps me with my

Thai, but most of the time the partners know a bit of bar Thai and that

is it.

I don't give my wife the opportunity to interact with Thai women who have foreign male partners.

Prevents all sorts of trouble.

The last part sounds like good advise. Otherwise, they will share stories of who bought who what.

[krisb]

I not speak Isaan but with google translator iPhone and iPad is easy to talk with the people I write something in German and the phone talk thai!

no. Not really.

Try again. A customer of mine had downloaded a smartphone application, typed in something in English or German, and the phone spoke perfect Thai, and displayed a perfectly written Thai text. Must admit it was a simple sentence though (I will go home), not sure if it would function well with something more complicated.

So perhaps you need to find out first. Then tell me to try again?

[JLCrab]

This whole thing started going off track at Post #3

With my albeit limited exposure to the ultra wealthy I have made 2 observations:

-- They hate talking about money (except for maybe Donald Trump)

-- They love to hang around with persons who don't give a sh-t about money.
