. Sounds like you have played it well. Good on ya. [/quote Well I started a new career path at the age of 35 when I left the RAF, looked at all the good life things like running a country pub etc but eventually settled on another Uni course in marketing, so at 44 it can be an opportunity for you to ...

I would add to the above it actually say's on the back of it," This is NOT an Identity card " Which The Thai Air supervisor took delight in pointing out to me, as if I didn't already know .So honestly I don't know what it is .

Wow man it really ain't worth all that trouble, I've had mine about 5 years and can count on the fingers of one hand when it's been really useful, more so than say my Thai driving license. Only last week it was turned down by Bangkok Bank and Thai Air as identification .

Retired at 44 think that says it all really, no wonder your bored and lonely, you've still go half your productive life to live yet before you even think about retirement. I worked full time up until my 65th doing a job I liked and was good at which gave me an income that sustained not only the life...

I often post about the fund raising activities we all get up to on behalf of our local Red Cross so I thought just for a change I would show where some of that money and a lot of effort goes . This destitute family was brought to our attention by the village headman of their mountain village after t...

Bad news for trout lovers I'm afraid. Speaking to the manager of the Royal project shop today. Apparently the current breeding pond is exhausted and being drained and the next one the fish aren't expected to be ready for the market for at least another 3 months .

Its an old topic, but does anyone have an update, thanks! I eventually got some but had to buy a kilo when I only needed a couple of small spoonfuls to cure about 7kgs of meat , the rest has been sitting in a jar in my cupboard since, your welcome to it, gratis if you let me know how to deliver it .
