    As long as you're confident that those job offers will rematerialise again in a year, or when you're ready. Then go for it !

    A year off though risks leading numerous potential employers to feel that you are 'out of the market' when you opt to make your comeback. Whether thats valid depends of course on the line of work that you're in.

    well okay! You asked for it. Have ten days to think about your behaviour and re-evaluate your attitude.

    And if any more of you children misbehave I shall have to look into increasing the discipline levels in the classroom and increase your homework.

    Thought that was a real PM for a minute then, pretty convincing! Did you ever get a reply back from that other one you sent before that you posted on here?

    I posted this earlier in another thread but I think it belongs better here.

    I logged in here only because TV is getting so mundane, I haven't been suspended or even warned and I still post there, although less often now.

    I didn't learn about TD from TV, somebody mentioned it in the Phuket forum.

    Up to now I'm reading more than than I post but I see a lot of names I know from TV and I think they all know me.

    I entered this nick to avoid confusion as there was already a Qwerty on the board.

    But thanks everyone for giving me a good chuckle and speaking of moderation, I was told if I want to be on the gang here my first task was to find a certain Welsh git and flame him.

    Imagine that on TV if you can.

    Anyway CMN, you're not a git, whatever the others say.

    And Terry, I'm glad you're learning not to be a twat!

    Hey Kayo,

    The bitching does appear to be alive and kicking, TD should grow up and realize they are a forum of it's own, instead of allowing refugees a talking shop of bitching cliches.

    So from your point of view bitching is only allowed and accepted on tv? We shouldn't lower ourselves to their level? Or we should continue to hide the bitching in the members forum?

    Not really.

    My point was, if badly worded accepted, are you not a forum of your own and if so, why worry about bitching from another forum. I feel the greater leniency allowed here is welcoming, although the language a little off putting and deflects and dilutes the content, however why worry about what others are up to.

    M

    PS
    Why not let me in to the members forum early, just to judge for myself that is.

    Ok.

    Well, it's been about a week or so...

    I think there has been a cut in the amount of moderation taking place which is, of course, a good thing, but then, most of the interesting posters have migrated here.
    So as there hasn't been much moderation and everyone is "afraid" to post anything midly contoversial, I came across the "PEOPLE" taking mod duties into their own hands:

    And who wants to get in with those farang wheeler-dealer types in Thailand?

    For those who are genuinely retired, then Thailand is a suitable choice. You've paid your dues, made your money and thats that. I'll return to Thailand under that condition.

    But being under-employed there is something of a poisoned chalice. *



    <*Hence why people get their authoritarian kicks being TV moderators perhaps!>

    Hey Moog - I still miss your posts and dancing Pooh Bear

    Have actually thought a lot about the 'under-employed' thing here in LOS and also about getting 'back in' to decent pro employment in the rest of the universe. Not to mention the 'farang wheeler-dealer types in Thailand'.....

    Hmmmm, now you've you've got me thinking! Taxi????

    well im going very bloody good NR.

    the thing about TD is that it gets a bit bawdy at times and the lads say some things that woman might not appreciate.

    its boys being boys so to speak, and if women want to be here thats ok with me, but ones sensativities could be offended.

    anyway, you'll work it out.

    welcome to teak door.
    oh I wouldnt worry abt that - Liliy usually comes in smacks us all in the ear and tells us to stop fighting and mind our p&q's!

    Oi! Don't you start.. Point I was making was NOT about you. I like bendix the stalinistic ho, and Mid, the bla bla bla - my point was not about either of you, but about the overly controlling factions of mods on TV that you both.among myself AND others had been bitching about ( who have now either been removed from mod-ding, or reprimanded severely, and restricted from "overly modding" in the meantime, btw... )

    well okay! You asked for it. Have ten days to think about your behaviour and re-evaluate your attitude.

    And if any more of you children misbehave I shall have to look into increasing the discipline levels in the classroom and increase your homework.

    ^ Just read some of that thread, kayo (how the hell are you, btw???). Didn't understand the geeky stuff (but let's face it, copy & pasting used to be a challenge for me!) but that Reimar seems to be firmly ensconsed up his own arse. If the only reason you post on a forum is to get 'feedback' & appreciative comments, you're gonna be sadly disappointed. I can't remember the amount of advice I gave out about dogs or other things on there. So what if you don't get a 'thank you'? Surely just helping out is the whole point?

    BTW, talking of thank-you's, how come I don't get a mention on that poster of the year thread of yours? Just cos I don't post there, anymore? How quickly they forget...

    I think Terrrrence should be nominated too!

    Cos that thread ain't on this forum.
    I haven't been able to access this forum until recently cos of some stupid internet DNS issue, and I haven't seen you on the other (active) forum for ages.

    And as we all know, Oscar winners have to release their prizes shortly before oscar time.

    Edit: I'm sure we could still have a good time together though...I'd give you some special achievement awards.....

    The differences between the virtual nations of TV and TD bear a striking similarity to the real world. In the case of TV the mods practice sharia law as demonstrated by the religious police below beating a young boy for wearing blue jeans.



    In the TD nation the rules reflect laws more in tune within Darwin's theory, "survival of the fittest" as enforced by a typical TD mod below.



    The great news is we can quickly travel between each nation at will. Just be sure to follow the local rules when in each or you may find yourself in the shits.
