Some that do monetize their accounts now say they give any money they make to local charities because of the backlash from people complaining on their You Tube account . The ones that don't monetize seem to have taken the moral high ground and hate the Vloogers like Briar Et al . There's one guy at the moment that wants subscribers to pay for his guest house plans for when they come and visit him!!
TBH it has never crossed my mind to send any You Tubers money but many do and it can be quite lucrative for those that are good at it.

I don't know if he's dead or alive, but I can't help but think that I don't really give a fuck either way.

There isn't much left to write or vlog about in Thailand really, almost everything's been covered.

Except railways.

I have seen it mentioned that no filming is to be allowed, can't see that happening though, those vloggers will milk it for all it's worth especial Kev in Thailand. He won't be there long though- no bars or tarts!

In fact it is said that one of his online opponents sent the Hospital in CR excerpts of his racist posts against Thais, sure that did not help him any.

Not sure he would have been allowed to board an aircraft in his condition,his home is in Thailand.And i think once you have been out of the UK over 6 months you might not be able to get free treatment on the NHS.
Cant remember all the question they asked me when i need some treatment but got it done for free in the end.But we do spend a few months of the year in Blighty.

I was going to ask you about that, how old is the rolling stock? Came back from ubon last week and the carriage looked like it was 60 years old. Doors tied open and a big gap at the back with a bit of string across it to stop people falling out. Communication chain was a bargain though- 100 baht fine for improper use, it was 12 hours of agony. To top it all off my fucking window would not close, upps sorry Graham.

^You could bump my railway & urban thread and I'll let you know

**Thai3** · 21-02-2018, 02:48 PM

One of the very few well known vloggers not crying his eyes out or wanting Graham to be made a saint, think he's Dutch. He took all his stuff off a while back and now vlogs from China.

Yes, but it is a fake funeral and he isnt really dead , they will keep the coffin lid closed and I would have to try to get a sneaky look into the coffin and I think there would need to be another funeral as well if he was actually dead inside the coffin, because I would probably die as well

Give him a chance. He can (has and will) do worse. Much, much worse.
