    bah - you fcuking tard

    the advert is about the counterpain mob donating to the charity that supplies the prosthetics for every tube of anal lube that DJpat purchases
    Fuck, please wait while I extricate my foot from my mouth!...but it does still smell a bit though...it does sort of state that rubbing a biot of cream into the boy's weeping stumps will allow him to complete a marathon..or did I get the wrong end of the stick (My missus - she's Thai sort of thought along the same lines..ahh well)

    I might buy a tube from the 7/11 and give her a surprise! Fuck, I misenturpreted that one! There was me thinking poor old "Stumpy " was running a marathon on this shit to ease his leg pains from his plastic legs, when all along, it was to remove the pain from his ARSE after being buggered by his poor family, silly me! (Check out some other posts Baldrick..I am after some FREE HELP from you...please!) You can PM me, it's probably better than digressing in public on a subject no one really wants to discuss! Would be appreciated!

    So ...at the end of the day, they had a crippled kid with plastic legs running to god knows where, to be ANALLY lubricated by some fucking dumb ass sponser? Who donates a few baht,,on what premise?....lubricant first???

    It's getting like the fucking coffee Ads, you have seen the latest Nescafe, with that fucking retard of a Farang, where he opens his mouth and it appears like the plane flies out..then he spends most of his time trying to fuck some bird in the office, why doesn't he get to work, the slack asss leering bastard is giving us all a bad name!

    You might as well expect your missus to stop being Thai as to stop practicing her religion in her way. The merit is in the giving, not the recieving, and so she gets merit whether they are the living reincarnation of bhudda or a reprobate (although, to be honest, I do think they get more merit from one than the other).

    You will NOT change her (if you stay in that environment), you will definately not change her parents. The only outcome will be frustration - as you see now.

    Me? I let them all get on with it as much as possible. Whats the point in getting so bent out of shape. You have made it clear that no hand outs are forth coming, and from what you wrote - you have not been asked for one - so whats your problem? its thier lives, let them fuck it up as they want.

    I will ask, however, would it have killed you to get a plug and wire it on yourself? The judicious application of help, in small doses, and at appropriate times will be appreciated, and it might make them think you are a nice guy instead of, most likely, a jerk.
    Understand what you are saying, but it is NOT Entirely true about giving, they appear to "give" in the hope to "SUCK" a benefit from wherever they give, take for example, a really revered orange clad, barefoot tatooed Nak Leng appears at the temple, the fact that they donate a plastic bucket filled with the usual Darlie/Tuna/Attack or OMO, then entitles them to SUCK the goodness from him, it's a bit like trying to buy your god!
    Don't get me wrong, if I was in a lot of these peoples positions, I too would try and better myself any way I could.
    The point I am trying to make is that they are conditioned from an early age to believe this crap!
    When, instead of supporting the saffron mafia, they would be better off donating to schools/clinics/hospitals, where the money is really needed.
    There are a "small" number of temples here that actually help people, but the majority, do absolutely nothing apart from suck the money from those than can least afford it to support themselves.
    My local temple is the worst I have seen. Normally, (from what I have seen in the other villages) The monks come around at about 5-6 am, with their bowls, barefoot, accepting food etc, and blessing those people that give, I have no problem with that, up to them, if it makes you feel better, great.
    Where we are, you cannot find a fucking monk in the temple after 10am, they are out wherever, they don't get up in the morning and go "blessing" anyone, they have a wheelbarrow type device, that they send out with some fat guy, who is not a monk, and only helps out at the temple, he wanders round getting free food for the monks who are still in bed, and brings it back to the temple, NEVER have I seen this in Thailand before.
    No one get's "blessed" it is like MEALS ON WHEELS IN REVERSE!
    But shit, if they need or want another bit of temple building, they don't ask for "donations"...they DEMAND 500 Baht! The other temples here take 10baht, 20 baht etc...not here...WE WANT 500 BAHT FROM EVERY HOUSE! It stinks!

    Indeed it is. I am still astounded that:

    a) he STILL has a Thai wife. Yes Felch, I do still have a Thai wife. Why would that surprise you? (why not replace he with "IT", it would sound better! We get along like a house on fire, in between the odd "Barny"

    b) he CHOSE a Thai female to be his wife (apparently an uneducated stupid one - to use his own words).

    Yes, Felching one, maybe Felcher, I used the word "stupid" when I should have used the word "uneducated" she unfortunately had to take care of her STUPID family rather than receive an education, which, is not given freely( and had to be paid for..so, if you are not out from 5 am until 5pm growing rice for a pittance to "give" to those priveleged with a license to sell rice, then you don't have the money for schooling) as in Western countries. Again, controlled by the scum Elite, who run this country, no money? fuck off. Do you realise that the Thais spend less on health care and education as a percentage of GDP than most African Nations? No, you probably didn't!

    c) He's still in Thailand, out in the boonies no less!

    Yes, I much prefer the boonies, and Thailand for that matter, to the alternative...the UK! (as I mentioned in an earlier post, Thailand is a wonderfully iced cake, but when you bite through the icing, you find the filling is SHIT, the UK doesn't even have any icing..it's a SHIT cake 100%) than having to look at those inverted birdnested white skinned fucktards that think they are superior to the ordinary Thais. Yes, the people here are uneducated, but they are a damn site more honest and hardworking than the so called "middle Class".

    Don't get me wrong, you Felcher, I am not putting down any of these people, I am pointing out what I have seen, it is not their fault they are not educated, it stems from the way this country has been leeched off by the middle/upper classes, the poor here are mainly slaves for them, not their fault.

    d) His inlaws allowed this narrow minded, uncultured, disresprectful and miserly old bastard into their clan.

    Old? when is 75 years old classed as old? Just because I marry a Thai girl 25% of my age you immediately discriminate...in the PC world, you would be thrown in prison for age dicrimination! They did sadly, but what the hell Felching one, at least I can try and help to educate them that not all westerners are ATM's..actually, after nearly 10 years, they don't come around trying to put a PIN no in. Truthfully, they are not that bad, they don't ask for much, and to be honest, I don't offer. But times, they do get a bit fucked, and when it is REAL, I do help! I am not a coplete heartless bastard - the problem here is, when you appear to be an "easy touch" for money...you may as well give them the bank card.

    e) He hasn't died from a heart attack at all the cultural shocks he must receive on a daily basis.

    I got over cultural shocks Felcher, long before I came to Thailand, believe me, as for you my Felching friend, I bet you haven't even spent any time out of a condo or a city. You (I appologise for stereotyping people) but from my guess, you are English, middle class, pretty well educated, (i.e. you never suffered the education of a "comprehensive school) Probably Bi sexual or Gay, never lived near any council estate housing, let alone in one. Probably from the South or South East of England. Unmarried, and Teach English in a school for tossers in Bangkok for about 30K/month, please tell me where I go wrong...

    It's good to talk!

    Not in one million years, there is not one Baht that gets from this Westerner to those stupid enough to pay money to the SHITE that live free in Temples.

    I can help "practically" but unfornutalely, spiritual monetary compensatation is not available here! They wouldn't get not one fucking Baht, mainly due to their previous record of stupidity! I am not, nor never will be a gift horse!
    Should they feel the need to donate to the Saffron clad VERMIN, please feel free to do so, but please do not expect me to assist!
    Ok Ok Buddy ,but this is the game these ladies play with farangs. Petend they are skint and hopefully they will get a handout . The whole family are in on it. Good for you not to get sucked in.

    sort of like passing the collection plate at mass huh?? but don't get me wrong while I agree with much of your observations I don't necessarily agree with your approach as I also agree with Panda when he says doing a small thing like buying a plug and installing it for them is the way to go.

    They won't ask, so don't expect it as that causes loss of face but they do appreciate offers. BTW how does one know of new and different ways of changing generations of doing it the same way if a patient individual (foreigner) doesn't show them a better way?? lead by example instead of being the great white Satan in your community you could become in a sense chief..Don't forget who is on high and how this entire culture is hierarchical and kowtows to they almighty and has for generations..

    My neighbor actually probably does better than me financially (not hard to do these days) but my boys ride all of their own toys with a helmet and always have, recently I began letting them ride their bikes up and down the street. Didn't do it before because we only had one bike, I reconditioned the smaller one for my youngest and that in itself was an experience for the neighbor to see as I did it outside and he was watching.

    I bought a new one for my oldest birthday and also removed the training wheels and put them on my youngest bike as his had broken, then taught my oldest to ride his bike without training wheels in about an hour.. At first my youngest was complaining about not wanting to have the older (handmedown) bike but got over that soon enough as this was now HIS bike. Anyway my point is that they ride with helmets on always and the neighbors little un decide on his own, over his daddy, that was cool and wanted to use daddy's scooter helmet so that is what he used for a few days, but like his shoes, and his bike, it was way too big..

    Then some days later I was moving some boxes and realized I still had one of the first helmets my boys used though it needed a new snap buckle I gave it to the little un across the street and now he and his father comes out every time my boys are riding and all smiles with his helmet and Wai's me every time he does, plus his father, who I hardly ever see actually doing things with his boy comes out and stands and supervises and spends time with his boy every time we are out there too..

    Bottom line is they do pay attention, they just don't want to be perceived as being ignorant as no one does, so if you approach it with tact and patience and through example they will follow, if you take that "you're a dumb fuckwit and don't deserve my time but you're lucky to have it" approach they'll ignore you and you will always be on the outside looking in pulling your hair out.

    Mind you I have to work at reminding myself of this several times a day so it doesn't come easily..

    Actually you have and do put them down by posting your deragatory comments here and disrepecting your inlaw family/wife and the local community. You are not going to change 2000 years of Thai culture/way of life by moaning and bitching about it.

    Relax and enjoy the icing.

    As I pointed out earlier, there is a difference between being an open wallet/doormat and being a helpful inlaw. If you have the balance right, I encourage you to continue educating them for the better. Not just because 'your way' is the 'only way'. It helps if the education passes both ways.

    I am English - correct, I was born in a working class, council estate in Manchester England to a one parent working mother. I am well educated - at my own cost. Worked full time in a factory and studied tertiary education in the evenings after working a full manual shift in aforementioned factory. I went to a typical English 'working class' comprehensive school. I am strictly hetrosexual. I am unmarried - correct again, I am not a TEFLR, I working as a Senior Business Development Manager (sorry for using my full wanky title - but I felt it was neccessary to illustrate your pathetic assumption) for a large Multinational company here in Bangkok.

    You're whole assumption is wrong. Sorry to disappoint you.

    I arrived here in Bangkok with 1,500 GBP in my pocket with a view to not wanting to go back to England. I never did, and was lucky/smart enough to get myself a 'proper' job here in Bangkok.

    I have been rewarded in life through hard work, 'street smarts', commercial accumen and character.

    I am not saying Thailand is the heaven or haven it once was. But I am still happy with my little lot and despite the niggles and differences of cultures, have managed to live a happy and fulfilling life here in Thailand for 8 years now.

    P.S. I have been and stayed at many provinces in Thailand and my current girlfriend of almost 6 years is from Loey province. She works a full time job as a Retail Manager for a very popular and well known fashion brand in Thailand.

    I am no pushover, nor doormat. But I do find your excessiveness to go out of your way to not help your inlaws somewhat hardcore.

    Each to their own.

    P.P.S. Sorry again to make you look a bit like a dick with your ridiculous assumption.

Again, controlled by the scum Elite, who run this country, no money? fuck off. Do you realise that the Thais spend less on health care and education as a percentage of GDP than most African Nations? No, you probably didn't!
    I don't make the laws here nor do you or I have a vote. Mute point.

Yes, the people here are uneducated, but they are a damn site more honest and hardworking than the so called "middle Class".

    Don't get me wrong, you Felcher, I am not putting down any of these people, I am pointing out what I have seen, it is not their fault they are not educated, it stems from the way this country has been leeched off by the middle/upper classes, the poor here are mainly slaves for them, not their fault.
    Actually you have and do put them down by posting your deragatory comments here and disrepecting your inlaw family/wife and the local community. You are not going to change 2000 years of Thai culture/way of life by moaning and bitching about it.

    Relax and enjoy the icing.

Truthfully, they are not that bad, they don't ask for much, and to be honest, I don't offer. But times, they do get a bit fucked, and when it is REAL, I do help! I am not a coplete heartless bastard - the problem here is, when you appear to be an "easy touch" for money...you may as well give them the bank card.
    As I pointed out earlier, there is a difference between being an open wallet/doormat and being a helpful inlaw. If you have the balance right, I encourage you to continue educating them for the better. Not just because 'your way' is the 'only way'. It helps if the education passes both ways.

You (I appologise for stereotyping people) but from my guess, you are English, middle class, pretty well educated, (i.e. you never suffered the education of a "comprehensive school) Probably Bi sexual or Gay, never lived near any council estate housing, let alone in one. Probably from the South or South East of England. Unmarried, and Teach English in a school for tossers in Bangkok for about 30K/month, please tell me where I go wrong..

    I am English - correct, I was born in a working class, council estate in Manchester England to a one parent working mother. I am well educated - at my own cost. Worked full time in a factory and studied tertiary education in the evenings after working a full manual shift in aforementioned factory. I went to a typical English 'working class' comprehensive school. I am strictly hetrosexual. I am unmarried - correct again, I am not a TEFLR, I working as a Senior Business Development Manager (sorry for using my full wanky title - but I felt it was neccessary to illustrate your pathetic assumption) for a large Multinational company here in Bangkok.

    You're whole assumption is wrong. Sorry to disappoint you.

    I arrived here in Bangkok with 1,500 GBP in my pocket with a view to not wanting to go back to England. I never did, and was lucky/smart enough to get myself a 'proper' job here in Bangkok.

    I have been rewarded in life through hard work, 'street smarts', commercial accumen and character.

    I am not saying Thailand is the heaven or haven it once was. But I am still happy with my little lot and despite the niggles and differences of cultures, have managed to live a happy and fulfilling life here in Thailand for 8 years now.

    P.S. I have been and stayed at many provinces in Thailand and my current girlfriend of almost 6 years is from Loey province. She works a full time job as a Retail Manager for a very popular and well known fashion brand in Thailand.

    I am no pushover, nor doormat. But I do find your excessiveness to go out of your way to not help your inlaws somewhat hardcore.

    Each to their own.

    P.P.S. Sorry again to make you look a bit like a dick with your ridiculous assumption.
