Re: English speaking bank manager

I imagine our attempts to speak Thai might sound like....well, gibberish. Swoddy krap? And for the very same reason I only speak Thai to my understanding wife. Cookie and Otto (my Thai dawgs) understand English perfectly. "Sit", "Shaddap", "Heal" took them only one sho...

Re: What Percentage of Brits Do You Think Moved Here Because

20% are crooks fleeing the law.
20% fleeing alimony payments.
20% because booze and cigs are cheaper.
20% have run out the string failing at everything back home.
20% got pissed in the airport and thought they were going to Majorca.
The rest? Who knows.

Re: Winter Olympics 2014 thread

No goons, no staged vaudeville fights. When it's played right it's the best game going. TV doesn't do it justice. :cheers:

Re: Condo or freestanding house?

Pros and cons for both. Freestanding means you have control, and the expenses of the dwelling plus company costs. You are more vulnerable to break-ins or vandalism, too.
