I cannot fault him as a human being. If my memory is correct, he actually got fined on one occasion for not wearing a shirt, while driving his pick-up. But he is a great guy, and we all have petty faults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke you speak of sounds like someone I know who lives near the Beach in Jomtien. He's around 65 years old. Rarely wears a shirt and got fined in his pick-up for no shirt.

If you don't know the difference between a parasol and an umbrella, and it's got nothing to do with sexuality, then please see the last sentence in my post.

Some may also be very grateful when another appears to have their best interest at heart. I'd rather risk being ""told off" for trying to help than say nothing when he might be ignorant of his condition. Of course it's really down to what each individual is comfortable living with. A friend of mine told me the story of a doctor friend of his who died from Alcoholism. My friend was a recovered Alcoholic himself but was a bit afraid to mention to the doctor that he might benefit from doing something about his drinking, that it looked like he had a drinking problem himself. He has forever regretted not mentioning it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know a parasol is a completely different thing to an umbrella right?? or maybe not..... Just in case of the latter, an umbrella as surely everyone knows, is for keeping the rain off. A parasol on the other hand, as the big clue 'sol' at the end of the word suggests, is for protection from the sun.. Quite what the use of either has to do with a persons sexuality is beyond me.....

So if he gets Melanoma or any other cancer related to sunburn, then it is his fault, not mine and what other people do on any f%%%%%g beach is, also there own responsibility, not mine <deleted>! Only an idiot lays on a beach in the blazing sun without putting on sun cream and a hat ETC. What adult is not aware of the risks of over exposure to the sun! Morons maybe. I very much doubt that the guy from Yorkshire cares, hence riding around ALL the time, shirtless, after being warned several times! So, do I care? no I don't. He is happy, so leave him alone. Faxes, E-Mails? what crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back some European guy in Jomtien told me I looked like a woman carrying the parasol. So I asked him if he thought that men were somehow immune to skin cancer so they didn't need to take any care to protect themselves from the tropical sun, or perhaps he thinks that a few nice scars where you've had carcinomas cut out is a sign of manhood and virility? Some people are just plain dim-witted. Don't be so hard on yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little mary sunshine Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I walk with a friend who carries an umbrella when we walk. One man said to him you should wear a hat instead of that umbrella, his response was, " You should try waking in the shade like me, it's always 20 degrees cooler".

BaldPlumber Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 20° cooler? So, that would make the ambient temperature about 13°?Does your friends umbrella have magical qualities?Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
