No, don't flatter yourself, you don't have a view.

A lack of view you have.

And no sense of humour.

You are a rude person.

Myself, and others, have warned you about posting stuff without any worthwhile content. You have not taken the slightest notice. Now it is time to get tough; to teach you a lesson so to speak!!

 

 You are off my christmas card list for this year.

 

Just post something worthwhile and I might put you back on BUT if you don't change your ways the others lads might take you off their list's too. It's not too late J1980. Do it!!

 

[sandrabbit]

If you all block him he has no one to argue with and ends up ranting to empty space, don't encourage him. If this was in a pub you would have already left.

 so upset. Teach me a lesson lol

If you think i care you are very much mistaken. I have posted several worthwhile post on this particular off topic thread. But it does not conform to your and others thinking, so will always be dismissed by the mutual back slapping society. I dont need in any way to justify myself to you or others. Your continual jibes in my direction are like water off a ducks back. But it pleases you to in some way to  feel as though you are superior, or you may even belive satirical in your response. IMHO you are neither superior or satirical just very sad. So to quote others of you go and find yourself a new (thread) play ground.

Ps im Buddhist so dont belive or follow Christmas.

You don't talk like a Buddhist.

Stop insulting Buddhism.

 

Oh wait! You mean "Thai buddhism".

I get it now - but my first 2 lines still stand.

You can here me talk wow you must be  a warlock. 

Ps are you one with two identities or do you like answering for others! You naughty BOY.

As for Buddhism i suspect you have little to no idea. But i have no doubt you will profess to be an expert as you always do. 

So as i belive you are a doppelganger i will now ignore you and your alter ego. Which looking back i should have done months ago.

Thanks for those posts. You have some excellent criticisms and  ideas that I wholeheartedly agree with.

Trouble is nobody is listening as you say. Ho hum.

 

Fairy Liquid "shampoo" every 3 days or so and a trim once every 2-3 months kept the hair okay. I cut it into a sort of "Rod Stewart" for my first real full time job in '74. I experimented with facial hair after that, but until I was about 30 always had a bald spot that had stopped me growing a Mexican mustache or good beard, but side burns were never a problem. They got me in the pubs at 15.

Still got some on my head, bit of a comb over at the back and all white now. Tweezers sort out the rest... Ouch!

Ha ha!

Cheers,

G

 

 

I never had much time for Obama, but at the least he made it cool to sport a #1 all over trim, which I have. Since I bought a hair clipper years ago, I've never had to pay someone just to cut a little bit of hair. Saved loads. 

Isn't it funny how many of us spend 4 or 8 years loathing or loving a US president ( even if we ain't American ) only to completely forget about them once they are gone, unless something brings them to mind. LOL.

There are no wolves, and nobody hates Thais on here. What we have been discussing is our own experiences of living here for a very lengthy period and what has happened to us over the years.

If, so far you have been fortunate, like most of thought until we came across the problems, enjoy it while it lasts...

Quite why, other than being a troll, you insist in playing Devil's advocate I do not understand.

If you had followed this thread and read all the posts you would see that we just swap stories.

I have mates that have had bad experiences and gone on to find the right girl, and others that have been together through good and bad times over 25 years and are still happy.

You just need to stop this negative attitude to expats opinions and realise that we too have a right to speak.

 

The right to free speech means "everyone can have his say" and is not subject to censorship for racialism, sexism or any damn thing. 

I said before, if you have something to contribute please do, but otherwise go play elsewhere...

If you feel oppressed, hounded or something then you need psychiatric help. I think it's called paranoia.

I will ignore you from now on and likely block all your comments in future.

I had my first interview with the prosthetics doctor yesterday who was pretty horrified by the state of my leg-but what to do-as I have to retain some form of mobility,even if I have to walk like a ruptured duck for a couple of hundred metres or so.

 

It was impossible to obtain insurance for sophisticated prosthetics in Thailand so the whole thing basically deteriorated past the point of no return.The hot/humid climate assisted in the destruction,promoted infection and contributed to my pain and mobility levels.

 

So please everyone-look to your health and try to avoid the pitfalls.. or,to put in another way,avoid my mistakes.

 

Regards to all,

 

Ody.

What makes me laugh is you harp on about free speach and the right for everyone to talk about/write about things topics/ discussions. Then in the same post its mentioned "now go and find another playground" or "if you have nothing to add".

Even stooping to personal attacks.

So when you posters and you know who you are speak of free speach or freedom to write how one feels. What you really mean is yes those two things are important but not on threads im disscussing things in.

 What it amounts to is a form of  online bullying (no I dont feel bullied at all to thick skinned to allow then there little pleasures.) I feel Pity for them having to resort to that tactic to try and justify what they percive as there dominance within that thread.

I remarked i belive the actual thread the real one (before it was taken over and moved as they saw fot into other realms). To be nothirng worth reading or words to that effect. I fully stand by my appraisal of the actual topic of the thread. The rest of it is as far as i can see nothing to do with it.

The poisonous Brother in Law has done so well because the posters can see their own predicaments in many of the posts of others. It's 70 pages strong and shows no signs of stopping; because it reflects life for so many in LOS. 

 

It takes a lot of guts to sometimes say that we got it wrong. That we were perhaps seeking something that was unobtainable, that things in LOS are not always rosy for some a lot (maybe most) of the time.

Very empty words again You give the impression that you are happy in your neo-bhudda life but somehow I doubt it. I think you are seeing our posts reflecting your own life; yes!!?? We are here for you bro'. Just take that fist brave step.

 

[thaibeachlovers]

It's a shame that a certain poster has resorted to squabbling while not advancing a personal story of interest to others. It is also a shame that some have taken the bait and turned a brilliant thread into a bickerfest.

 

[Odysseus123]

Yes,Wise Old Owl,I have to admit my mistakes.

 

I played fast and loose with my health like a flippin' kamikaze.

 

Now I have to OWN all that stuff,work through the lot and never jeopardize my health or fortune again the way that I did over there.

 

A tough road ahead,many challenges to face..many thanks to the contributors on this thread who were insightful,helpful and supportive.

 

Not bad for a bunch of foreigners  from many different countries who probably have never met,or possibly never will meet,the other contributors.

 

Ody.

another thread gone haywire .....  

you gotta love Thailand and you gotta love the way TV farang act ....  

[strikingsunset]

I,for one, have followed this thread with great interest for weeks, many of the posts have been both moving and very informative.

It is sad that there appear to be vindictive efforts to derail the thread and turn it into a shouting match.

It would be great if irrelevant posts could be deleted, a huge job I am sure, so that now and in the future

the posts could be read in a manageable format.

Ody.

You're not alone on the health front. All my life I've known people that abuse alcohol, smoke despite knowing it is bad ( we called them cancer sticks in the 70s ), and eat far too much bad food. Every time I see anything to do with the USA, I'm astounded by the number of obese people- not just a bit overweight, grossly obese. Even in Thailand, fatties are no longer uncommon.

I think people just don't think about it till it's too late.

I am extremely fortunate that my health (touch wood) is good. And what right have I got to complain anyway? I'm 70 this year and some friends of yesteryear are no longer about.

 

I've had my highs and lows; but right now I'm in Thailand's north east just trying to spread a little happiness. It can be testing in LOS but I'm giving it a go.

 

Good luck and best wishes Ody.

Nope.Use the ignore function.Stop regurgitating ignored posters by including them in your replies.

No-one ever wins these sorts of kerfuffles on a public forum.

That never works. The disruptors just follow the threads. It would be better if contributors just stopped feeding the disruptor. Without getting a response they usually go away.

I think many don't care and just want to make the best of it while they are here. A lot of eating and drinking is emotional. I know if I feel down I go pop open a bottle nice wine and some cheese and think '<deleted> it'.

I think this is possibly the better way.

 

Personally I only post where I have some interest in the thread. But some seem to post just for the hell of it. Spoils the integrity of the whole theme.

Owl and Thaibeachlovers,

 

The fact is that I carried the seeds of my own near destruction-in terms of my physical health- to Thailand as early as 2011.

 

I should have merely visited at times, enjoyed myself, and returned to my home country.

 

Instead I chose to take one long walk on the wildside without fully appreciating the substantial physical and economic risks involved.Killing oneself in pursuit of a fantasy should not have been on the agenda.

 

Therefore I have to own the problem.It has nothing really to do with Thais or Thailand for,after all,they didn't kidnap me and ship me off there by tramp steamer,did they?

 

Ody Kong.

[YetAnother]

to me, many ,most or all of the family-associated problems that farang who come here and marry are traceable to 'marry-me-marry-my-family'; our cultures do not have such a concept, so coming in, these starry-eyed farang cannot see or foresee typical issues here, such as the title of this original posting; and to the thai, it is perfectly ok to fleece farang; to them, that is precisely why we are here
