I was told by a former member here not to get too friendly with anyone and especially not if you are a woman.. I'll just take it one tiny step at a time.

What was the reasoning behind that advice?

Well I will end this discussion as I know theblether back in Scotland.

Not only him but also the nature and size of his business.

I haven't seen his balancesheets but I have no doubt he is telling the truth.

When someone comes on here and explains their reasons for being in Thailand and the honest and sound financial footing they have it is going to upset people....I know theblether accepts that abd its for that reason many keep such info to themselves.

That and the dark side of farang expats......far worse than any locals as I know well.

Talking of mustard, my mother in law once told me: You know how the Colman family got rich? Not how much mustard people used, but how much they left on their plate.

She was Irish. A very miserly person as it happens.

Anyway, looks like there's plenty of ways of making big money. Can I have some independent financial advice please cos I'm still working on the recovery plan after the divorce.

Cheers

Some of the replies on this forum would make that obvious. Why do you think moderators stay anonymous.

I find this thread worrying.

Someone a couple of weeks back accused me of being FunFon and CandyPants.

My clever reply of being Fullmetaljacket (reference the film not a past or present poster) seems strangely appropriate now.

Looks like I need to get it on pronto.

I thought there was some real life stories behind the advice actually.

Somehow I doubt it my friend,as I've pointed out,real wealth doesn't need or try to impress people.He may have you fooled but not someone who's business is wealth management unfortunately.He's not even close to convincing me,in fact he's just convinced me otherwise with his boastful,boorish manner!coffee1.gif

Unfortunately people in the Wealth Management industry hardly have good reputations, so you're not likely to find much sympathy here - I do hope you aren't one of thos cold calling IFA's who are a pain in the ass of most expats. There are certainly some very wealthy people here posting on TV and to be honest I think your attacks on TB are a bit off skelter to be fair.

Yes - fair time to post a public warning.

Dispense with the flames, bickering, accusations - however you want to look at it - or this thread will have a short life span.

Get back on topic, or stay out of the thread.

You have been duly warned. thumbsup.gif

when i was a 16 year old apprentice welder,i was tought welding by older men, in there 50s,

thats the way of the world, you learn from the older people,

and that just isnt in the western world,

look at the tribes in deepest africa, the young learn from the elders, hunting ect

jake

and as you get older you realise that you are never to old to learn.....

The slur refers to another mod.....on that matter my lips remain sealed....unlike the culprit. biggrin.png

I can narrow it down to Jock or MrBJ - they sound like likely culprits.

Me too. And I'm a bloke.

Do I really want to be friends with the owner of 3 bedding and flooring shops in a UK city?

I think I came to Thailand to get away from that sort of sh***.

Less voyeurism of bullsh**, less posting, and more time down the temple.

No doubt there will be some wisecracks.

Do me a favour and just ignore.

Very nice post, Bina. I thought men grew out of the old "My dick is bigger than yours" syndrome as they matured, but I guess not.

I don't care how much money people have. It is how they treat others that count. Some people just get lucky at the right time and make a lot of money by making good choices and taking a few risks. Does that make them pleasant people to be around? Who knows, smart business acumen does not necessarily relate to a pleasant personality. And, some people who are a lot of fun to be around don't necessarily make good partners... either through business or personal relations.

It's been my observation that strong people who post a lot take a lot of heat from others. It doesn't even matter how sensible their posts are; there will still be people who object. Theblether seems to be one of those people who receives unwarranted criticism. A former member who is a friend of mine was another. My only explanation is that the nay-sayers are envious or jealous. Thankfully, strong people are not bothered by jealous people.
