Daily Moan

either side of the car park space.

The cleaners usually collect them all on the hour, before dumping them on the beach.

[Dillinger]

Too idle or ignorant to get out and walk 5 metres to the rubbish bin.

What rubbish bins?

There's normally just the one outside the odd 7/11, if you are lucky.

There's a shitload more bins here, even in the Country layby's where I did a spot of flytipping last week

I left my (expensive) car covers off and they got caught in a storm we had and got all wet. Maid tried to 'help' by turning them inside-out to dry them upon which every leaf, stick, tiny stone, bit of grit and detritus within a 100km radius promptly embedded itself into the fibers. Arduous task of cleaning them and hope I don't miss any tiny paint fucking bits or throw them out and buy new ones.

That's it. That's the moan.

[David48atTD]

... Maid tried to 'help' by ...

You have a maid?

I suppose the obvious answer is ... Yes, doesn't everyone?


Well, I don't ... That's it. That's the moan

[OhOh]

I presume you deducted the replacement cost of your set of

(expensive) car covers

from her final months wage. Lucky for her a visit to your little car detailing man wasn't required.

If her final months wage was insufficient to cover the cost, is one still entitled to hold her daughter hostage until satisfaction is delivered, in Thailand?

[strigils]

^ RU OK OhOh, that's a bit weird even for you.

[baldrick]

I

can we expect you not to be so lazy in future ?

What in the cousin fucking tarnation are you on about.

Probably not to be honest.

OhNo and Klongdick . . . what a pair

[OhOh]

^Three more "moaning" posts. Got to keep this thread humming.

Possibly the care of "expensive car covers" may need an extra hour or two in the obligatory "House and sundry cleaning for maids" training course, Chapter 4. "New Maids (External Duties)". A new thread topic, what?

Not employing a maid myself I was curious to be advised as to what "rules"/legal steps are available when they fail to deliver their contracted service, regarding "expensive car covers - care of". A new "rules" thread topic that mandates that all new members must download prior to receiving posting of red and green reputation stars privileges.

Are you suggesting holding family members hostage is not considered "fair game old chap" by senior club members?

No wonder I was black-balled.

Another ohno thigh slapper.

Your goat refused you? Your English is getting better but the phrase you're looking for is blue-balled.

Wife's been moaning for me to see Doctor because of high blood pressure. Doctor confirms it's bad and I am fooked. Diet and water for a month with tablets to bring it under control before they start running tests and more tests.

Cycling is on hold until blood pressure is back to normal.

[Mendip]

^ Good luck. I also have high blood pressure and ran out of meds two months ago in Sweden. It's on my list, but I think mine is 'mental' high blood pressure which comes on with too much time spent with the wife.

My moan today is that I am trying to go for an extension to my Non O visa... I've always had annual multiple entry Non Os based on marriage for years, but Covid has changed all that.

My moan isn't the ridiculous hoops to jump through, or the fact that my passport will soon expire and there seems to be a delay in renewing UK passports...I've now been waiting four weeks with no word and my 90 days is soon up, and there's the Songkran holidays at my critical time... I'm sure that has all been done to death.

My moan is that I had to find someone to take these bizarre photos of me, the missus and the nipper around the house and garden. I asked the wife if she had any friends with some modicum of common sense... of course no, so the gardener it was.

I set the scenes up, gave him my phone all ready, what could go wrong...

Fark me... the first 30 minutes he couldn't keep it on the camera app. Then he managed that and I could see he was stabbing at the camera, it was wobbling all over the shop... everything blurred at best I thought.

I checked his work... and he'd got into bloody 'selfie' mode. Fark me... 200 photos of me gardener's chin and neck.

He's as blind as a bat... which explains a lot to be honest... but is also a bit of a relief.

I kid you not... an hour and a bloody half to get a few reasonable pics. And even those had to be cropped to get his thumb out of the pics.

I long for the old days... a flight to Singapore to renew a Non O was way easier than this.

[Dillinger]

You can put your phone on the side and set your phone to take photos to voice commands.

Get the wife or daughter to join in the fun and shout out 'cheese' or other keyphrases
like...

'step back you fat fuck' or 'change that fucking shirt, you look like Tomcat, you nobber'

[Dillinger]

[Mendip]

Ya know... it's weird you say that...

I met a person in Bangkok recently who showed me you can show your palm to a phone and it takes a pic a few seconds later. I was gobsmacked... this revelation opened up all new possibilities.

But you still need to put the phone somewhere... when you're standing outside the house with your family next to the number sign there's usually no convenient stand to stick your phone on?

[Klondyke]

I also have high blood pressure and ran out of meds

In case you did not know, a good med available in Thailand is Ambes 5 or 10mg.

[OhOh]

My moan is that I had to find someone to take these bizarre photos of me, the missus and the nipper around the house and garden.

I'm presuming you have been to your local TIO and obtained their Requirements Printed Sheet in English.

I believe the photographs required, if applying for a visa based on being married to a Thai citizen, are of your house, along with you and your wife in various rooms inside.

Unless your local office has "requested" they include your daughter I suggest your daughter takes them.

I presume one of the external house shots include you and your wife adjacent or underneath your house address plaque on your wall?

[Klondyke]

But you still need to put the phone somewhere

There are simple tripods where the phone can be fixed in.

Or a very simple thing you can have in your pocket is a wooden stand with a slot. If the slot is padded with a foam tape it can stand almost vertically:

In your pocket?

Are you wearing a trench coat? I bet you are. How many other 'useful' items do you carry in your pockets?

Anyone else notice that the pedestal fans are only lasting for 2-3 years now? They start to make a racket and slow down and then if you turn them off overnight they won't start unless you take the front cover off and give the blade a spin by hand. The Hatari desk fan i have is 1 1/5 years old and already i have to spray wd40 into the shaft to get it to work.
