Yes, Trudeau and he is an idiot, but doesn't compare to your Moron-in-Chief.

[mech_401]

eehh , I'll be the judge of that. i think it will require
further analysis why you are projecting so much
anger. the french language or possibly trudeau

[newtovillagelife]

My bet is MECH_401 and Lone Star are one and the same.

I must be one of the most intimidating MFers you've ever run across for you to be so consumed with ME.

You're hysterical.

LOL..if your Avatar was a self portrait, then yes I might be intimidated, but I have never seen you, for all I know you are a short, fat, bald headed old man, and far from intimidating. But if you find me hysterical, enjoy the laugh.

PS Consumed with you ???? You post 90% of everything on this forum......who else am I going to spar with????

[Lone Star]

Yes, Trudeau and he is an idiot, but doesn't compare to your Moron-in-Chief.

Before I forget, I must give you some credit. At least you've got the pride and the gonads to state your country. Can't say that about Trolltroll. Deep dark secret with him.

Not short. Not fat. Not bald headed. Older. Used to be able to bench 315#, but it's down to 250# now. Age has a way of catching up with you no matter how much you work out.

I'm not hysterical (as in laughing). I said you were hysterical -- as in consumed with emotion over ME.

Maybe one day you'll let me buy your lunch and have a beer. Then you can decide for yourself.

I think we would both be surprised at each others appearance.

Go on New Its free lunch You could eaily run up a 2,000 bath tab or more

I spend twice that in town on an average night.

Try not be an a-hole so often.

It's against my nature to take advantage of anyone.

Mathematics
You live on $1000 USD a month (your quote) or 32,000 baht a month
Yet you now say you spend 4,000 a night for 30 nights is 120,000 thb Something dont add up

As for the comments you certainly are emotionally attached "Try not be an a-hole so often."

Here you are making it about me again.

Do you skydive? Do you ride Harleys? Do you play cards twice a week and gamble? Do you have a sailboat or speedboat? Do you have any hobbies that cost you money? Do you go out drinking 3 nights a week? If you answered yes to these or anything else like these, that's disposable income over and beyond YOUR living budget. I hardly drink any alcohol at all. I don't smoke. I don't hunt or fish. If I did those things, I would NOT include them for someone to make a budget judgment on living here. Hell, they might gamble online all week long. They have to figure that in for themselves and/or ask about the cost here (if it can be done at all).

Those are all expenses that are incurred with disposable income AFTER you pay your bills to live here.

For me, 30,000 baht per month is my LIVING expense. No debt. All vehicles and home paid up in full. Anything beyond daily living expenses is done with disposable income.

. . .

One day -- 3%. It might go down some more, but it's not going to destroy the economy. Destroying optimism and sentiment is more destructive, and the media is doing their best to paint this as the worst event in the history of modern man. GET TRUMP.

Keep wishing. It'll bite you and/or your country in the a55 if you get your wish. It affected markets worldwide.

By manipulating their currency to avoid tariffs, they're helping their Chinese manufacturers, but they're also helping US consumers.

One day -- 3%. It might go down some more, but it's not going to destroy the economy. Destroying optimism and sentiment is more destructive, and the media is doing their best to paint this as the worst event in the history of modern man. GET TRUMP.

Do some research people the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) was, and has been, intervening to keep the RMB up, and not to push it down. Over the last two years foreign portfolio investors have piled prodigiously into Chinese assets, helping to support the RMB. But history suggests this trend is about to reverse. While inflows have been rising, Chinese stocks have been tumbling—they are down over 20 percent from their January peak. Dreadful performance like this typically drives funds out of emerging markets. We may be seeing the beginning of such outflows in China. Repatriation of liquid foreign capital will make it far more challenging for China to keep its currency up. Of course, China could change course and let it fall, but that risks exacerbating the foreign-debt burden of its highly leveraged corporates. It could raise interest rates, but that would further slow a slowing economy.

If Trump would just shut his mouth, things might improve.

Or maybe the Trump family are shorting the market, there is no transparency, so we will never know.

Nope.

401 is (formerly here) Cali, and on the other channel is currently "baby-spice", having had various other names there over the years.

He also has extensive history over there of fighting with "realbigmonkey/papafarang", and getting quite nasty at times. And of poo-poohing UM.

I guess his hatred for the monkey must be greater than that for the Star.

[Doodoo]

Ah Adjust to suit OK

[mech_401]

actually jackspratt , i experienced many of the same with " made up stories". we all enjoy a little
bicker& banter but posting false allegations

doesn't fly. put aside your brit best mate thoughts
and let it register in your head its not proper
neither is your embellishing of the account
