Trolling for the good, the bad, and the ugly

Doctor Pangloss · 30-01-2008, 10:11 AM

Salutations:

I moved to Thailand a short time ago. Picked Phuket for god knows why.
I had another life in another place.
I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little. Had numerous professions to my credit.
I'm an optimist yet I acknowledge bad people exist. Why I don't know.

I like this forum for some reason, god knows why. Must be the cool smilies

Though I'm not sure what some of these mean:

Is that fellow shearing a sheep?

Welcome to the good doctor, a Godly man.

Pangloss was that foolish optimistic philosopher in Candide.

"Everything happens for the best". Righto welcome!

Note KW has the same post count as I.

Welcome

Greetings Doctor Pangloss and welcome to the forum.

**Ping** · 31-01-2008, 07:11 AM

'god knows why' you picked Phuket? Because it's the next best thing to heaven? Perhaps not, but nice that you recognise a place with a bit of class (as opposed to that other tip of a place over the water). Welcome to TD.

Ping! The doctor didn't pick Phuket... until xx posts you are flown around the kingdom. After xx posts you can choose your base... I think?
And I cannot read... Sorry thought you referred to the thingy under the nick. When can you 'move' to a place of choice?

**Norton** · 02-02-2008, 09:10 PM

Welcome Doc. Take a look around. Post some thoughts, enjoy our fine food, hospitality and unsurpassed intelligent commentary.

**Wallalai** · 03-02-2008, 12:46 AM

Welcome on board.

No probs ebeth - you can change it when you get up to 1000 posts.

**ebeth** · 03-02-2008, 05:26 PM

Thanks Ping
Looong way ahead then...

**ebeth** · 03-02-2008, 05:27 PM

But it is fun to be in places I never seen in the real world ( one less to go

)

**Ping** · 04-02-2008, 07:53 AM

Yes not a bad way to learn a bit about the local geography...

**ebeth** · 05-02-2008, 03:36 AM

^Or the different members nationality... looks like Wallalai must be either Swedish or Norwegian...and you Ping must be well cooked by now

It is not all geographic places

or is it!

Welcome Dr. Pangloss!

Perhaps you picked Phuket since that is where Cunegonde is hiding?

Or was it the opportunities for "applied reason"?
