Hello again to all the crazy mango's that lurk around the shadows here. Sorry I've been neglecting this gentlemen's club (and lady's club too no doubt) for so long, but I got sidetracked with other things. So I guess I should ask that ultimate question, which is... Do you want me to hang out here and add to the amusement of all things Thailand, or am I just going to be more noise? The reason I ask this is: 1. I am insecure...... (d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f) 2. I was invited to another forum a few months back and as I knew most of the peeps there, so I gave it some effort to be part of that community and started to enjoy the community building. Alas, the forum only had a short life so I thought I might come and lurk here again. 3. I do like to feel like I'm part of a Thai expat community, but there is so much backstabbing in the YouTube scene, it's not easy to build a community there without attracting the troll armies from other YT channels. 4. I am trying to build a following on my YouTube channel, and yes, there is a commercial side to YT which does conflict with one of this forums rules, so I don't want to p**s people off. 5. I am also trying to establish a foothold in the Blogging community as well simply because I believe I do have something to offer to people who are considering Thailand as a destination for retirement and possibly early retirement. This also as a commercial side if it grows. 6. I did feel like I was accepted here, but as I was the noob, it was a bit of a challenge to establish a foothold and banter with the best of them here. Anyway, here's the latest video if you're interested. This forum has rules? Now you tell us. Hang out here mate. We stab each other with rubber knives. Half the fun.

The poms go on for hours about world politics. The Aussies manage a few words about sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

You'll figure us out sooner than later. Most of us know each other. For example my real name is Bob Dundee, and Smokie is Murphy O'Shanahan.

I like sex, and beer, and hard rock music. “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Doug is the only pome that ever made sense to me

We can't even pronounce Rubl's surname. Van der Orshonopitre, or something like that.

No no my psychiatrist said I'm trigeminal. I'm quite proud of that actually.

My latest place of work actually banned plastic spoons after one of the inmates cut his lip after biting one in half last week. I've suggested we move to sugar cubes.
