    Satellite Stuff

    Ok;

    Being new, I am going to ask some stupid questions. If I sound like a total "Nonce" only flame me once please. So Once for the Nonce.

    I am posting from some crappy Chemist Shop near the Wonderful Soi Cowboy. But if you ask he will give you a discount on Viagra etc.

    I am going up to Uttradit later and I am going to be there for 3 months while I am waiting for something to happen. Anyway, my friend who has gone back to the UK for a week gave me his UBC Card, and wrote down where to get it copied.

    I have lost the piece of paper and I can't find anywhere to get a copy. Can someone please help me. I have to give his card back in a week . I am sure this is a really easy answer, I could tell you 50 places in BJ to get it done.

    Also some advice - please :

    I was in Bang Nar today up in S01 105. Anyway I saw what you would call a "legal shop" and he said he would do my company registration for 6,500 and my work permit for 15,000 ao in total I will pay 21,500 Baht or about $500-USD for all the legals to be done or a year. Can someone tell me if this is a good price, or should I keep looking.

    TIA

    Sorry I cannot answer your questions but I would like to give you some friendly advice.
    A 'nonce' is a child molester not an idiot.

    Oh, I thought it was an Idiot, derived from a Chinese word.

    This is an "exteremely" good price. In fact, it is so good I doubt the guy knows what he is doing. 6,500 for company registration sounds like you will be buying a shelf-company with zero capitalization. 15,000 for a WP is ok-ish.

    I suggest you keep us updated and we can talk you through any questions you have. Be careful with "private investigators, marriage, and legal shops".

    No Problem, to be honest I went around for years thinking that nonce meant idiot.

    Same me, and thanks for the heads up.

    I got two versions one being Non-sencical, the other a chinese word that is probably a literal translation. I am going to send an email to a friend to get the characters and translation. I am an old man now, and that stuff only interested me when I was 16, nearly 50 years ago.

    I think it is a slang word, so has no real definition if you google it, all you get is some time parameter etc

    so Opus, when you were 16 did you know any nonces?

    A nonce can also be a slimy creep, not just a kiddy fiddler.

    WIKIPEDIA:
    "In the UK, the term nonce is a slang word used to refer to a sex offender, especially child sexual abusers, and thus as an insult. Folk etymologies for the origins of this word state that the word derives from Not Of Normal Criminal Ethos, used to mean an offender whose motivation was different from the purely acquisitive, or possibly Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise, for prisoners that were not to be mixed with the general population for their own safety. As with most cases, these folk etymologies are examples of backronyms and should not be taken seriously. The actual origin of this word is unknown, but it is probable that it is derived from nancy, a derogatory term referring to homosexual males. Several websites such as Noncewatch have been set up claiming to give details of such people, however whether the information is reliable or not is another matter."

    Yeah a nonce is prison slang for kiddy fiddler. Alot of people started using it when the film Scum was released.
