And I thought it was just Mrs bld. Bought some really nice/ expensive steak and popped it in the freezer and forgot about it for a few days . When I remembered it was there her indoors sprung into action and defrosted it in a sink full of water. Good grief.

Wait till she cuts it thin and puts it out in the sun for a few days to make beef jerky out of a rib eye!

Ah, the joys of adapting to a new Culture.

Grin and bare it ... nice Jerky after she re-fried it

I know that living together has to have a lot of give and take, but some times there has to be lines drawn. For example, i had to tell her i would cut her fucking fingers off if she touched my nail clippers again. I will happily buy her 10 of the damn things, but leave mine alone. I put it exactly where i can find it next time i need it. Previously they would vanish. Why the hell did she not know where they were after she took them, or why not put them back exactly where you took them from???

Who knew nail clippers were a major household expense in Thailand??

Could be worse, she could of defrosted it on full power in the microwave whilst multitasking with a phone call about how wonderful her defrosting skills are .

I think it must be an Asian trait. My maid only visits 3 x a week, but she can’t resist re-organising my stuff on every visit. Consequently, I can never find stuff where I left it.
She is brilliant at what she is paid to do, but consider these extraneous duties important to my well being. lol

Now where did I put my spare razor blades???

[Mendip]

I have a couple of big mugs on the kitchen worktop for my airline cutlery collection and the wife keeps putting normal teaspoons in with them and puts airline spoons in the draw with normal cutlery.

That really annoys me.

[OhOh]

put them back exactly where you took them from???

Nah, drop everything anywhere and buy a replacement.

฿20 here ฿20 there and they wonder why they have no money.

[dirk diggler]

I think I’ve bought about 40 iPhone chargers and placed one at ever conceivable changing point in the house, vehicles and in our bars.

Her next phone will be a fucking Samsung.

[Shutree]

or why not put them back exactly where you took them from???

This might not be a uniquely Thai problem. When married, my ex finally got herself a screwdriver so that she never had to answer questions about "where tf is my screwdriver now?"

Here, things routinely wander into the void. When found it can pretty much be a sure thing that the tool was abandoned covered in wet soil and is now a piece of rust.

Everything cancelled...
The sun is shining, what a glorious day for a change!

[Stumpy]

While we are on the subject of things going missing, I finally had to lock my tool box. My wife and FIL believe that tools laying around and found later is organized. I am very particular about tools and always wipe them down and put them away. Here I can walk around and BAM..I see a pair of cutters on a table, walk to by a another table find screw drivers. I especially like finding my tools out in the back forty where they did some Thai bailing wire trick to hold up a tree. Sometimes my dog comes cruising by with my screwdriver in her mouth to chew on..

My Internet went off yesterday, 2 hours I spent on the phone, first to some Northern kunt who said I hadn't paid the bill when a direct debit is set up, then to some fukkin Filipino cock asking if ive tried turning it off and on again, then talked me through resetting the router with a pin. He then said he'd book an engineer to come out today but all they'd do today is check the Internet outside the property not in it. He also said they'd sign me up free for some fukkin after care package that I'd need to open an email about and agree to

Then I reminded him that he told me there was Internet going into the router when we began the conversation. He then says the engineer still has to check and that they can book me in for Monday. I then told him 5 days is fukkin unacceptable and that this is England not the fukkin Philippines which didn't go down well.

Then he put me back onto the sales team and that guy hung up half a bastard hour into the call after finally telling me someone has barred my account, probably that Flippo tech guy.

So gotta use 4G for 3 weeks now before getting a new ISP.



Talk Talk Wankers.

[Joe 90]

Thats Cheap charlie talk talk internet for you.

Get on BT.

£45 a month though.

[taxexile]

Talk Talk Wankers.

get yourself onto "plusnet"

[Reg Dingle]

I decided 3 weeks is too long to wait, so rang Talk Talk back.

I'd gone ahead and already got in touch with Vodaphone last night and signed up with them.

They knew straight away, Talk Talk, and apologised got my plan down to 20 quid a month, gave me 2 months free, a 40 pound Amazon gift voucher said they're gonna send out their top of the range mesh router and said I had to call vodaphone and cancel.

All sorted now but still have to wait 5 days for the router to come though.

Get on BT.

£45 a month

Is that for Sky too? I was only paying 28 before, Vodaphone were only 19 quid a month.

I do like Talk Talk though, because they don't block the moody iptv box with full sky TV package I brought back from Thailand

[dirk diggler]

FWIW, when I end up back there I use 3, which back then offered 3 months unlimited everything including calls, texts and 4G forr 99 quid for 3 months (I think). Not bad at the time about 3 years ago.

but I had to register through a long call centre slog that I was an adult and allowed adult content. Not actually for porn (NordVPN) but because a lot of streaming sites etc had aduld banners and adverts (like SMOOCHI), you cnuts.

[Reg Dingle]

Hey guess what.. my Internet just came back on

All that palaver and worked out nice in the end.

As my dad says... the squeaky wheel... gets the oil

[pickel]

^
Are all your router settings in Tagalog now?

[Reg Dingle]

it went off again 20 mins later... and is still off

[DrWilly]

They knew straight away,

How?

How would an internet company know you have signed up with a new one?

[Reg Dingle]

Because they use the same line- open reach.

[Joe 90]

Because they use the same line- open reach.

That's BT without the consequences, fvcking charletans.

I had my usual Leo guzzling session with my Welsh mate last night but the evening was ruined. I was getting bothered by mossies so he gave me a go on this new stuff he'd found. I sprayed it on my arms and legs and thought no more about it... for about 15 minutes.



I must have rubbed an itch at some point and transferred this evil stuff to my eyes which started to sting and water until I could hardly keep them open. I managed to stay on to finish the box of Leo but it wasn't much fun.

I was awoken around 4am by burning arms and legs... it felt like they'd been dipped in acid. Even now they are still stinging.

I called him today to ask WTF he'd given me and it transpired this stuff isn't for use on the skin... in fact it comes with medical advice if you get any on your skin or in your eyes.

Thanks, mate.

This is the same guy who once gave me an orange can of oil spray instead of the his orange can of mossie spray as a prank... and then watched me spray WD40 all over my legs, arms and face. He swears that this time it was a genuine accident... but I don't know.

Actually its the UK public that have paid for it, BT have just been in charge of the incompetent rollout

[aging one]

Googled it up. To me that was a pretty shitty joke.
