So my moan is about all the clever guys on forums (all), complaining about Thailand this and Thai police that and how everything is too dangerous or stupid and that the government should do this or that.

Well welcome to the new Thai nanny state just like the ones we all escaped to come and live in laid back Asia. Can't drive over the limit or do a sneaky illegal U-turn any more!

[robuzo]

On the Chao Praya Express boat two days ago the ticket-taking girl did that Thai grab-nose-pull-at-nostrils-to-clear-boogers thing before reaching to take my ticket with the same hand. I'm sure it was because I'm a farang.

I'm still moaning about the 25-year old 'gik' that I mentioned in this thread, who turned out not to be a simple whore, (although her sexual experience seemed to indicate that she was no innocent gal).

No, she was a lovesick nutter who declared her undying love for me and has been texting and calling me everyday for the past 2 weeks, (and visited my house yesterday, but luckily I was out).

Today, whilst searching for something at the back of my wardrobe, I discovered a pair of her undies and a bra, 'hidden' under other things.

I know exactly what is going on here. Having had her love for me rejected, she hid these intimate garments in my wardrobe, in the hope that a new girlfriend would eventually find them and play hell with me.

Bloody stupid prank - and they weren't even dirty.

Nah, She's gonna come back and say she left something and can she find them!

Take the garments down to the sea-food markets, whipe them across the floor and sell them on e-bay to the Japanese with a picture of the former owner.

Then tell her what you did and give her 100 baht for allowing you this opportunity.

[Simon43]

Take the garments down to the sea-food markets,...

That was an option of course. But these 'undergarments' were typical Thai matron style ==> practical maybe, sexy? no way.

I have cut them up and have been using them to clean my lawnmower.

Obviously never had a Japanese girl friend.

The Flippos and Viets like to leave their ear rings under your pillow

So I hear

It's Viet Minh.
...or, more appropriately: người Việt or người Kinh

[crepitas]

On a more serious note:

Poor old farang during a rather exceptional sea food Tom Yum evacuation in his downstairs bathroom experienced severe trauma when the bum gun disintegrated in his hand.

EEE-ewe!! Pew!....Retrieving bits from the big white telephone!

[charleyboy]

I fookin hate Thais, who don't switch off their car engines. I want to kick this fucker in the bollocks!

[Davis Knowlton]

Told my daughter to clean her room. She asked me if I had been checked for OCD.

Fucking internet...........

How about when the drive a few miles they then open the hood (bonnet) of their vehicle to let it cool down?

Next time, ask her if she has checked her room for fleas. (Or whatever she has a phobia about)

[Stumpy]

Today I had one of my reports come to me crying, 6:20am in the morning. FFS. It seems that the cat fights have begun. Always a problem with growing a company.

When I joined as Dir of Ops I had 4 engineers, 2 techs and 4 ops. Since then our product has taken off and I have been staffing production ops at a very quick clip. Currently I have 28 reports on 2 shifts now and I am interviewing more. Likely be a 3 shift operation soon. However let the games begin. I have a mix of Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese assembly people, mostly woman, and I hate how they get "clicky". They all sit in the break room by their race. The pecking order is set. I will say that the Chinese woman are harsh, talk really loud and are bossy. Seems the Filipinos do not like the Chinese but get on well with the Vietnamese. Sadly for me this Bullshit will only get worse. They start picking on each other and then one melts down and I have to listen to them tell me about it in some fucked up FOB broken English jibberish. Ever try listening to a woman explain to you a problem crying and English is their second language? I mean with a wife you know, you likely did it to her so you get it. Of course being here in the good ol US of A with lawyers waiting in shallow water for law suits I have to listen to it and some how offer up some compassion. Been at this game for far too long. I just want to get this up and running and GTFO and relax..

Back to the Soap Opera, appears she is all better now and talking to the gal that got her panties all in a bundle an hour ago. WTF.......

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at your place - just for the amusement of it all.

Well as an observer its fun Thaimeme, being in the thick of it is quite exhausting. This is common theme here in America so being a fly on the wall at any mfg ops place would give you some real entertainment value. I have loads of stories that we could knock back some drinks and would make you laugh. This has happened at every place I have been at throughout my entire career. At one company I had over 500 ops on 3 shifts and 85% were woman. We have such a diverse ethnic background here and with EOE laws you have to comply. This is one reason why most companies offshore Ops. This stuff isn't tolerated in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, China. Most are thankful to have a job and work diligently and fear making a stink about something like "you look FAT" or "your haircut looks like shit". They know it will get them punted.

[ltnt]

It seldom has anything to do with work related problems in my experience mostly just personality conflicts. Try 35 engineers all trying to keep their jobs...

[Davis Knowlton]

12 hour scheduled brownout today...6AM to 6PM. Must really please all the folks who only have Sunday off. Assholes.

Davis,

Tell her no, you have PDD "Pension Deficiency Disorder and that if she wants her allowance she will have to do what you ask.

Her other alternative is to leave home while she still knows everything.

[nigelandjan]

Not usually one to moan as I can see the funny side of most things

BUT , not amused BT left us without broadband for 4 days

I mean FFS ! 4 days to throw a switch in mission control ??

The Teak Door threads are so bad that I've reduced myself to reading about Dillinger's "lazy boner affliction." It can't possibly get any worse...

You read that ltnt.....? . I guess you must be really bored.

Guess it beats absorbing the extreme hatred/racism that seems to be indigenous here now....
