Richard Barrow has been around for quite a while but writing in an entirely different genre to Stickman.

 

 

True, though he's just as much of a hack, and probably a bit more full of himself than Stinkman.

>>What about ''notstickman'' ? <<

 

I think he went to China to continue manufacture of his LCD motorcycle parts .Got into a spot of bother with the courts in Thailand if i remember correctly .The man was totally obsessed with his tirade against Stickman .Stickman himself is a decent bloke in my book .Things seem to be working out well for him back in his native NZ.He is set up nicely having sold his Web site .Having to still write a piece for it every week was becoming a drag anyway ,from reading between the lines .

Nothing is well in NZ for Paul, he just went back there after having failed his life here.

 

His lies are so ridiculous that everybody knows.

Exactly.  Most of his "columns" (he fancies himself a journalist but can barely produce a grammatical sentence) are little more than attempts to spread unsubstantiated rumors and/or please his advertisers.  Plus, think about it: someone who claims to write about the ins and outs of "naughty nightlife," but at the same time swears ad nauseum to never have participated in it?  At least Trink was upfront about his down and dirty adventures...plus he had a sense of style in his writing.

I think Bernard Trink is still alive if not kicking and could surely be persuaded to restart his meanderings in the neon for a small stipend. Sounds like his deleted weekly diatribe seriously pissed off some dark characters who had a word with the new owner who in turn I suspect runs the escort agencies that feature on Stick's site (no proof of that so may be wrong)...  Stick to buy back his site for a cent on the dollar?

I enjoyed most of his opening columns, the digest of readers' mail, and some of the readers submissions.  That said, he was plugging that service (matching platform for hookers and Johnns) to an extent I started to strongly suspect he had an involvement in that business himself.  I'd have no issue with it if he did, but then just say so instead of talking about it like it's the greatest thing every week.  

 

All that said, I'll miss the column and hope it'll be back.

Just googled Stickman Thailand and read a couple of his columns.

 

Not my scene, no wonder I'd never heard of him before, amazingly mate some people haven't you know.

Wouldnt say he was doing well. Ripped off is a better way of putting it. Jealous Noooo

Fail to see how a self appointed expert who i belive sits in NZ writing his colum could possibly know whats happening in Bangkok now. Therein lies the problem he was in the end spouting his definitions based on pure memory. As everything eventualy comes to an end . I will not marn his passing off the blog waves

He had friends on the ground feeding him up to date info .He only carried on writing as the new owners wanted him to .

 

>>wouldnt say he was doing well. Ripped off is a better way of putting it.<<

According to reports they agreed a selling price of 10 million baht but he only got two thirds of that so about 6.7 million.  Sounds like a lot in Thailand but it won't go far in New Zealand.  Hardly even enough for a deposit on a house in Auckland.

Just on a side point it looks like he has missed the big house market jump in prices in N.Z. so he may remain a renter for a lot longer than he wants too.

 

That being the case renting in N.Z. is seen over their as not doing well. Rents are sky rocketing as they try to catch up to the over priced house prices.

 

Reading before he really wanted to be near his family in either Auckland or Wellington but the price of a house their is one million +

 

Many of his articles mention the cost of lost earning time as one stays in Thailand too long, maybe he also got caught out that way who knows.

 

But he at least had the balls to make the move back home to N.Z.

 

I did the opposite I left N.Z. 14 years ago and came the other way to Thailand to retire but was smart enough to keep a property back in N.Z.

Everyone is speculating but if he came away with B6.7 M ,NZD 272,000 aprox ,its about B6.7 M more than most English teaches come away with  ,leaving Thailand .Enough maybe  for a one bedroom Condo in a suburb of Auckland ,and surely enough as a deposit .

Here is a nice one bedroom ,for Paul ,in Auckland with views of the waterfront ,minutes from Auckland CBD for NZD 229,000

I never quoted any figures just i read what was agreed was not what was given. So no speculation here.

Jealous of people who are just so ridiculous to understand or pretend to understand 17 years that their life is near moma and popa at OZ ? Not at all.

Yes. He should have stayed on in Thailand and become one more keyboard warrior, like some others here...

I always liked Stickman until  he decided to go HiSo. Nothing he ever wrote or did entitled him to be HiSo. Bye Bye Stickman. No loss for me. He was no better or worse than the normal whore mongers. He eventually thought himself to be better than his regular readers.
