Supposed to have completed a 2 year program beyond that with the same school to work in hotels but seriously doubt he ever finished it. I’ve never seen the diploma even though I’ve asked for it multiple times. Got himself involved in some sort of “cell phone shop” business a couple years ago that failed and I refused to bail him out. COVID rolls around and his debtors are in serious need of cash so they cut a deal agreeing to take about 30% of the debt to close the deal. So I paid it. For the past two years I’ve paid about 6000 baht a month to a good Brit friend for his condo so the kid had a place to stay at least. Kid hasn’t stayed there for several months now because he has a Luk Kreung girlfriend. So it’s time to close the deal with the condo rental. Long story short the kid has left me with an unpaid 22,000 baht fee because he’s never paid the monthly sewer/water/electric/maintenance fee. Sold my mates TV and left the place trashed. Gotta laugh at these daggum pillocks who burn bridges behind them. Sometimes a farang will draw a line in the sand. I’m done.
    What a waste of oxygen. Hard when it's family.

    You ever think of committing suicide just before work ? Just for a second it sometimes passes through my head. I don't have to go to work.

    I grew up in a family business. Started working 10 years before everyone else. it doesn't help. Had to work after school growing up.

    But I should be lucky to have work. Yeah. Just like the sign says at the gulag. Don't you know there's starving kids out there? Fuck

    Sure you don't have to go to work, but there are also alternatives to suicide.

    And in many parts of the world if you put up a sign offering the shittiest work you could dream of with the worst conditions, you'll be mobbed.

    Ruddy hell!
    How can fixing a squeaky floorboard turn into such a disaster at chez chitty.
    Drilled a screw into water pipe creating a flood upstairs.

    Quickly turned the water at the stop pipe then tried to call an emergency plumber at 6pm on a Saturday night.

    No chance.

    Football starts in two hours and I really don't need this drama as ive got a fridge full of John Smiths bitter that requires my attention.

    I Youtubed how to fix a leaking pipe and was given three solutions.
    The easiest and quickest involved a hose clip and a piece of rubber. So I speeded down to the hardware store 10 minutes before it shut and purchased the 99pence item required.

    Job done 5 minutes before kick off,I hope it holds..
    Daily Moan-20200816_084703-jpg
    Saved myself a couple of hundred quid and managed to get pissed watching the football unfortunately that leads me to moan 2, ruddy VAR.
    Which leads me to moan 3, forgot to set alarm and woke late with a hangover.

    Fvck it that's enough moaning for one day.

    ^ Learn something new every day. I've always called them jubilee clips.

    That's the generic brand name. Same as sellotape, hoover, tupperware and post-its.

    I'm no plumber, but I reckon none of those things would seal a leaking pipe.

    I’ll have to help him out in some form. Good thing is he always pays the $$$ back. Very small monthly amounts like $50 but he pays.
