Yes , with friends. All Thai. I said a few outrageous things, no not political,it was sarcasm about my friends. So what are you searching for? I have found it. I know it may not last, has for twenty one years, that is a hell of a long time. And you want to mess with those friends or my family? Not necessary,we all live together. Is it ideal, i doubt it, but it satisfies the old person i am. Touch me and see what happens. And me, i touch no one, just spit out my idiosyncratic humour and all laugh. Back to the UK, never. Carry on looking, for wealth and travel. Done all that. An evening with friends. Old friends, of children i knew before they were born, of those who accept me. The kids , they make me smile. Give me their abuse, nicely and we laugh. Parents who know they can 100% trust me. Of a community. Old uncle, there for all and all there for me. Keep searching if you have not found it. But it does not come quickly, it takes years. Carry on searching. Or settle down and take time, a long time. Or go back to your home town/city and pretend. My home is here.

Men at some time are the masters of their fates: The fault, dear Bowie, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings

Men at some time are the masters of their fates: The fault, dear Bowie, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings We are not underlings , we are equals if we acknowledge that. Yes equals, not necessarily in intellect , but in our behaviour to one and other. Sure , i am asked for advice , or of the usage of english and of teaching the kids, without formally teaching.And i ask for help from those who can do that which i can not. Community.

Let's go back to those kids. They have English at school, but not conversation. They love to experiment with me. I do not belittle them, will use Tinglish, just to engage. A thought, a photographer stopped by. Well it was obvious , three very expensive cameras. Had not met him before. I spoke english to him, knew he must be able to use the language. He was reluctant, embarrassed that his English was poor. Then we got into a conversation. A freelance photographer.He was surprised i knew of his contacts. I look forward to meeting him again. I hope he is not afraid. The kids are not.
