After a lifetime of hard work, countless sacrifices and of trying our very utmost to be good, decent people my wife and I found ourselves homeless and penniless. Without understanding why and how this could possibly happen (we had legally bought and paid for our house - totally unaware that the developer had handed over the title deeds to ours and other owner's houses to a very wealthy British investor as security for a loan) we suddenly realised we had lost everything.Buying property in Thailand is a minefield - and as a foreigner your (legal) rights are extremely limited.Please correct me if I am wrong, there is no minefield, you are restricted to owning a condo, end of. Never ceases to amaze me the idiots who think they can circumvent Thai laws that are there to protect them in the first place. For the record, I own NOTHING in Thailand. www.linkedin.com/pulse/thailand-cruel-experience-laurie-p-smith

Read on, To happier times..... My wife and I have decided to leave our 'Thai nightmare' behind and move back to Hong Kong. We face a very uncertain and difficult future and know that due to the extremely high cost of living there, much will depend on my finding work. I do not expect (nor want) charity.That's the winning ticket to overcome financial issues, move to one of the most expensive cities in the world fukking . Fellow is short of a brain circuit, posted that violin solo on Linkedin nah we don't want handouts, my 88 yo dad helped us and betcha he's got a gofundme page on Faceache.

I am an extremely competent and very experienced L&D professional with an extensive background in designing, facilitating and program-managing a wide range of training programs, workshops, seminars, events and coaching sessions.
Now I know I am just a dumb spanner monkey, but what tf is a L&D professional?
Mike, dont know if you have any contacts in HK, maybe line this guy up with a tefler job, or maybe a blackboard eraser, please ensure he is provided with proper ppe gear, wouldnt want him to suffer from chalk inhalation.
was reading rov world the other day, some rig off the coast of angola was looking for an "it" type with experience in unjamming photcopier trays.

Amazing really how many words one can put in a sentence to make it look like one's saying something worth your while. In less words "I teach you how to teach". Of course one might wonder if that approach would cover how to teach any subject. I doubt it. The info here till now is sufficient to make me think 'why bother'. Sounds like yet another 'good' talking chap who tries to make a living from other sucker's peoples money.

Lifestyle guru, talking buzzwords and acronyms. Another double glazing salesman. Come across plenty of these types in the O&G racket...had one crowd providing "coaching" who actually made it offshore, i sat in on a few of these so called one on one "coaching" sessions, it was p**s poor attempt at amateur psychology... Called my lot on shore....talked to my boss...who let this knobhead offshore ?....my boss " we thought it might help"....pigs arse it might help... Anyway this half wit managed another 2 trips offshore touting his shite and got too big for his boots, and starting trying to punch above his weight and i ended up running him off and any other "associates" from that company were not allowed offshore on the job i was involved with, they went to my management complaining i wouldnt let them offshore My boss asked me what i wanted to let them come offshore so i wrote my own jargon, acronym, buzz word filled document full of expectations, KPI, milestones and deliverables and sent it my bosses and that companies bosses, never heard a word from again after that for nearly 2 years

I teach you how to teach all well and good but teachers need to inspire their target to learn. Something the dipstick hasn't it seems he himself has learnt. Teachers open doors, students then hopefully learn

Years ago we called it the six Ps, proper preparation prevents p**s poor performance. These days its all Sigma 6 and RCA. Check out some of these Linkedin pages (of Lies) years ago the cv would say something like BEng Hons, or MEng, these days these pricks have about 30 acronyms on their Linkedin page. A whole industry has been spawned by these double glazing and second hand car salesmen types, usually with some worthless degree in social studies or sustainable farming and wind energy. Nothing but frustrated wanabees. One of the funniest I ever saw was in the snackbar, one side was reserved for aircrew, the engineering scum were on the other side. Some Ops puke with his leather flying jacket embalzoned with all the badges sits down in the aircrew section, the jingly told him, cannot sit there that for aircrew only, this prick was trying to say he was aircrew, the jingly told him, aircrew wear green flying overalls, you not wear them you not aircrew, you sit over there. Look of terror on this up him selfs face, think he thought he might catch some contagious disease, cheese burger and fries to go he told the jingly.

So I finally got to click on the LinkedIn link. "He presently facilitates the 'Bullet-Proof Manager' Leadership Development & Sales Academy Programs for leading business training organisation CRESTCOM." Is facilitation the same as solicitation ? Anyway, I like 'bullet-proof managers', makes me feel less guilty shooting them
