What ever happened to that guy on Louis Theroux

[scubascuba3]

Remember that weird weekend programme about Thailand dating. Remember that older guy who was trying to find a wife, he had high blood pressure, got wound up easy. What ever happened to him? He might be on Thai Visa :-)

His name was Lake Palmer. A self described 'erratic' man that could 'destroy you verbally'. A real piece of work!

I remember watching the show and thinking what a complete plank he was. He was behaving like he was on a supermarket trolley-dash for a ready-assembled, plug 'n' play life partner that would actually love him after one or two dates.

Turns out the sap married a Thai woman . . . . after three days, <deleted>.

He blew quite a lot of coin on gifts and financial support but she binned him for someone else once his dosh ran out.

He did not have much money anyway .He was ex Army ,living in a Council flat .I think she dished him for being dead boring ,as well as being poor .

No when he married her before buddha and splashing around large wads of cash she was still in a divorce battle with another brit thats why she could not get a visa for the uk and mr palmer had to find out the hard way.

Now she is happily married to a belgian guy after milking mr palmer and her former brit lover .

I really feel sorry for mr palmer i really do he seemed like a stand up guy who wanted to start a new life .

Yes he seemed a decent guy and no match for the cunning Thai Ladys ,who use those dating sites .The Brit guy with the flat cap ,who owned the Dateing agency seemed like a right creep though .He married one of the girls who was just 18 years old and the marriage lasted just 2 weeks lol .

Maybe there will be a follow up. God I hope not.

Sounds pretty good to me, if not too expensive.

Even if you can't be bothered watching the whole 13 minutes, please stick around for the 3.30 minute mark where a man stands up from the audience with possibly the most bizarre haircut and fashion sense combo, like some crazed Howard Jones impersonator and makes the whole thing seem magically surreal.

The guy's a loser all the way.

Quite amusing that many of his sentiments about British/Western women echo those of more than a few of the more hapless TV forum members.

Utterly ridiculous that a man should feel intimidated or emasculated by an independent woman.

Why would anyone hunt for a woman who's dependent upon him for everything?

Major turn off.

I'd go out for a drink with the Irish Mullet headed one for a laugh and a banter. That other one is a creep.

My view is that there are thousands with his attitude in Thailand and PI - flame me if you will, but that's how I see it,. Few are as pathetic, granted, but the attitude is still there.

That guy looks like an extra from Fawlty Towers (the Major, perhaps ?). Creepy mofo.
