Nice 1.

Exactly bm

But can we try to keep the baiting, bizarre inside humour etc out of a serious thread like Paul's? This actually might affect peoples lives in a (perhaps) small but negative way.

Only a request...... sensible comment is more than welcome, I am often wrong

Wrongly attributed to farang, yorkman. That was Galee's post and also thought it was "hilarious" even though have no idea who exactly this Vic character is. Brit humour guy, I guess?

Hang in there, farang. You're as "heavyweight" as anyone in this forum. Another one from the original forum, too. Say, maybe you could start another poll? Have enjoyed the humorous posts and very informative websites that you've come up with in the past.

Anyone doubts that can check farang's past posts in the old forum.

Mr Falang, everyone is glad you are back but I am a bit Pissed. Don't get me wrong, I to am glad you are back but you did not bring your different avatars. My avatar is boring but do not know how tofind them and evidently you do.

Bring them back PLEASE!

Hmmmmm.

An attribution failure methinks

Is that a green light for farangs avatars.

Incidently Banpaeng, my little avatar took 1hr of head scratching,and key board tapping before i worked it out. still very much a novice.

Ok guys I got your point. As long as the avatars are not x rated I think they are ok. This time I even put in smileys and got it back. I just hope the light hearted banter continues.

Kick back, relax and enjoy life.

Hope to do that one day.

Hi BP,
This little program is pretty reasonable for making you own animated avatar.

Alternatively, I have a list of sites with free avatars, (none of which are X rated), although some are a bit cheeky!
Good to see the light-hearted humour returned to this forum! (with regard to avatars).

Steve

Thanks Stevo, will give it a look.

Might even find a neked elephant or cow.

yorkman wrote:Hello Doug,

Yes post away, being in the construction throes myself I would certainly be interested.

Hmmmm..that carrier, you are going to do some work on it; does that mean its actually going out of port??? .It seems more like a "mine is bigger than yours" with the other SE Asian Navies than anything else . I used to be involved (years ago) in weapon systems operation instruction with the Malaysian Navy, and I am sure it was entirely wasted!

John

All we have done so far for construction is landfill, a hut for a place for us to get away from the rest of the family at times, a well and toilet. Buildig the house will come later. Waen always tells me that we will wait for that until after she comes USA and see what she thinks of life here and if our son has any problems learning english and American schools. If we stay here then we only build a small house there. If we move to Udon (which I think tha we will do) ten we will build a larger one.

As for the ship, my work here is mostly but not exclusively on American aircraft carriers and I have to say that I an impressed that Thailand owns the one that they do. It was built new in Spain and is not an old recycled
one from another country. most of the equipment was new witht he ship but I think that some was a way for Spain to get rid of some aged equipment. However, all in all I enjoy working on the ship and the onsite maintenance people seem quite capable. I work with the main tactical computer system that runs the radar consoles in the Combat Information Center and does tactical decision making and weapons assignments. It seems that their biggest problem is the operational program that they got with the ship from Spain is a recycled one originally from the US Navy that was modified by Spain and it is a 1970/1980 generation program. They need to update it and I have been discussing that with them but a completly new program is quite pricey and they don't want to spend that kind of $ at this time.

So we now have a carrier that doesn't move, and planes that can't use it , if it did. It would make an impressive yacht for you know who though

That is correct, the russian planes are not carrier version aircraft. Currently Thailand has 9 Harriers with usually 6 of them in flying condition and some helocopters which is actually what the ship was built for. The ship is technically called a Costal Patrol Helicopter Carrier and is named H.T.M.S. Chakri Nareuebet (CVH-911). I enjoy working on it and working with the Thai Navy. Much better than some of those middle eastern/African/ex-soviet bloc navies that I work with sometimes. Plus it gets me free trips to visit the wife.

I really think that the three floors went out the window when I said "too much house for clean" and that Waen was just teasing me. I liked the place as it had flower boxes outside of all the upper floor windows and I said that I could grow food plants that I like that I don't normally see for sale there so she could have been humoring me at the same time.

I think that the price of that three story one, in a gated community, was about 5.1 million Baht and Waen really doesn't want to spend that kind of money even though it would be cheaper as we have our own land. Also, I think that spending that much money on one thing would probably scare her.

Well, lookin at the picks for this poll shows it to be rather narrow in its scope.. Love/affection?? yes, of course, there's got to be some of that in every relationship.. It doesn't necessarily have to be all-consuming but a balance of all things.. Why doesn't the poll have, "picked as life partner".. That encompasses the emotion, but also the practicality.. In the New England culture I was raised in, marriage meant, 'for good' and indeed "for better or worse." Another possible pick on the Poll should be, "Married, not worth the trouble to divorce." Hey, folks get used to the spouse (on both sides). Maybe bailing from either side is such a financial, emotional pain in the rectum, that it's just too much trouble to do it.
On the flip side, why did the TW decide to marry interculturally.. Probably a variety of reasons, some possibly financial but other possibly imposed by Thai culture itself (Abandoned wife, kids, no chance of remarriage, can't run a farm by yourself, uneducated, decide to work other places....) As I mentioned at length in a differnt string, most Thai women, particularly a few years back when the world was a much larger place, made much more of a committment in marrying a Farang and leaving the LOS than the Farang did by marrying the Thai....
