I have a well established presence in international legal circles as one who deals with the laws as they are. I leave such noble statements as yours to others.

A con(fidence) man is someone who cheats another out of what is justifiably theirs after gaining their confidence so I think the above not a slur but that the definition here is appropriate.

Aha as a lawyer I can well understand your view of the world, my condolences. . .

In my case there's no question in my mind about any intention to cheat, obviously she doesn't put a high time value on my payments since she let things slide for so many years, and in the end she won't be out of pocket at all.

If and when she brings up the question of interest I'll also be happy to accommodate that.

You have been able to deprive this woman of the rent that (I would presume) your signing a lease entitles her because you have gained her confidence. Tomorrow all debts may be resolved; as of today, you have cheated her.

I am not a lawyer. I do under my real identity have debates and otherwise online tangles with several persons who have been awarded MacArthur Foundation Fellowships commonly known as 'genius grants'. So, as far as arrogance being a character flaw, you are a piker.

Correction: Only one of the persons mentioned above has received directly a MacArthur Fellowship. The others are founders of organizations / NGOs which have been awarded MacArthur Foundation grants.

But as Rick (Humphrey Bogart) put it in Casablanca:

“Well everybody in Casablanca has problems. Yours may work out.”

Chok Dee and Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

This thread is like a train wreck, but at least train wrecks get cleared eventually - the OP still hasnt caught a taxi to the airport.

Current ETA is 5-8 weeks, so rather than holding your breath, feel free to simply not follow the thread anymore.

5-8 weeks of living on the streets ? Sweet Jesus.

My dear friend TaninThai,

I appreciate your concern for my kids and their future, and believe me they already are well aware of my addictions, they've been to hundreds of 12-step meetings and I'm sure one day will realise they wouldn't even be on this lovely planet if it weren't for that particular part of reality.

Somehow we all manage to muddle through don't we.

Jai yen yen nah? I don't think your getting all worked up is going to do anyone any good, least of all yourself.

Take care now,

Your friend in love,

FunFon

Did you have to stand and say "hi everyone my name is funfon and i'm addicted to having sex with young girls"?

Just curious......

No sex addicts anonymous meetings in Thailand that I've ever come across

but some English-language AA meetings do take place in bars

There have been some NA and overeaters, some codependency groups

Earlier on in this thread, he has mentioned about the possibility of being offered the daughter of his children's nanny when she becomes a major 4yrs hence. Fat balding man in his late fifties(all admitted by him) eyeing a child. Creepy old pervert or a planted troll? Thanks for keeping us all entertained over the long Songkran holiday (same as the 'living with a BG' and '1 million baht sin sod' threads, all of which appeared around the same time)

Think about what is required to make a fire.

The crab has finally realised.....

That's pretty low, bring on the witch-hunt, what eyeing? I was just reporting the nanny's emotional reaction to the news that we're going, first I'd heard she'd been thinking along those lines if she was indeed serious, I don't know my Thai's not that good.

But glad to know my situation's providing you with holiday entertainment. . .

As I said, chocolate will be the last to go.

Anyone want to start a group for TV.com addiction? We could hold it right here. . .

Edit: Or in your case electricity. You got some aircon going yet?

Hope that's OK with the rest of you?

Sorry I know I can be a bit thick, but please explain like I'm five years old.

And I haven't had any working aircon in my home for over two years now.

Erm, yes exactly the point of the joke.

Not to mention just previously:

Ah your handle reflects the state of your scooter's engine?

So tell me the story of the crab and the stick or whatever. . .

Its all about oxygen mate....and mine has run out for now. Good luck.

Aye but there is plenty of mist in that oxygen .

So tell me the story of the crab and the stick or whatever. . .

Yes I get what's required for combustion but what's the bit about the crab.

Like the frog not realising it's getting cooked or something?

Sometimes you guys are just a bit too subtle in the piss-taking, drives a literal semi-autistic nerd right up a wall.

Which could of course be the intent eh?

Well, I've had the most bizarre, trippy weekend ever and I kept coming back to this thread.

Thank you for the entertainment.
