    Must be a Canadian thing. Or a Dutch thing. Whoor was a pretty popular fill word around here.

    whoor

    pronounced who-er

    1. A variation of whore used by wiseguys, usually used to refer to promiscuous women and prostitutes.

    OK, our mistake. We thought you were talking about trying on PANTS in the changing room but you were talking about trying on a promiscuous woman or prostitute in the changing room.
    OK.

    I thought that 'backspin' was slang for a 'skidmark'.

    Skidmark.

    I'm Aussie, we shorten words.

    Skid will do.

    perhaps SKidda or Skids?

    I think SKids.

    Your fault you haven't done your 2019 taxes yet.
    Your fault you haven't fulfilled your reporting obligations (hence the bank letter which you claim is serious).
    You can't claim life is a tough slog when the reason is you haven't been doing your bit.
    Do YOUR bit and I'm sure life will be a lot easier.

    I am aware that trannies need servicing yes.

    You sorta missed the point of the poll/thread. Life is just more complicated than that. Why do you think that movie stars and rock stars commit suicide so much ?

    The last few suicides I've read about on Pattaya news have been blokes under 30. The Central Festival flyer was 23. Life is complicated

    Yeah. A pathetic old fart that didn’t have a break between the ages of 52 and 56 because I was either building a house and associated infrastructure or working to pay for it.

    I started working in the family business when I was 8 years old. Had a literal workaholic dad. The whole thrill of paychecks and work was worn out by the time I was 16. Saved all my money , worked in the oil field for years hoping to get ahead. But I just spun my wheels. In 2015 the oilfield went to shit. So i went back into the family business with the hope that I could somehow get some breaks like I did in the oilfield. But everything I tried on that front failed.

    So now I work everyday basically. Reliving my childhood. Watching my investments and hope of freedom go nowhere. It's been more like 3 years that I haven't taken a break.

    My dad thinks if only I am stuck long enough , that I will turn into a workaholic. Because that is so great. It's like drinking with an alcoholic. You want to stop drinking , but they can't imagine that you aren't enjoying it as much as they are. Just another drink ... common.

    Stubborn retarded Dutch cvnts. There is no reason why someone couldn't cover me while I escape reality for 2 weeks in SE Asia. But that would break the workaholic code. So that can't happen. So I either have to take another leap into the great unknown and quit. Just to get a week off.

    You're just feeling sorry for yourself.
    you say you worked in the gas and oil industry for years hoping to get ahead but you only spun your wheels.
    might I conjecture that in fact rather than be frugal and save and invest all that money you travelled the world fucking whores.
    But that's not conjecture, thats what you did.
    that's what you CHOSE to blow your dough on rather than being frugal and saving and investing in property.
    Again, YOUR FUCKING CHOICE.
    Try some personal responsibility for a change shitstain.

    Like on my one trip in 2009 where I drank nothing but Siam Sato to save money ? And I only banged girls Shrewed Punter style which costed me next to nothing ? And I stayed in 5 baht a night hotels on Kohsan road. There was no blankets in one of them

    I'm glad I splurged a little on those trips. Otherwise it would be more for not.

    But hey. I am a working stiff with better bread and circuses than a working stiff in the 3rd world and I don't have Leukemia. Yet. Yay.

    I worked with a guy from the middle east in the patch. Him and his brother both came to Canada and were making big bucks. His brother chose to move back to Lebanon and be a security guard for $100 a month. Rather than rat race around in the 1st world.

    I believe in the divine. Because if life was purely random , you'd have a 50% chance of getting things right. Not a 2% chance. Only a divine intervention could make it this bad

    Do you think life is like flipping a coin ?

    Nothing like parents, upbringing,education, health etc to influence your life ?

    If God is out to get you, I reckon most religious folks, wouldn't leave you a 2 % chance of beating him !


    Or your God might have a sick humour

    Parents is a complicated one. My dad is a bonafide workaholic who wants to turn his kids into workaholics. There is nothing I look down at more than workaholism


    If life was like flipping a coin , it would be better. I am a determinist who doesn't believe in free will. I don't believe that you can control very much in your life

    But I also think there has to be divine intervention to make things as hard as they are.
