Living in 'Paradise'

[CHEEKYFOKKER]

You seem to have completely missed the point. Surely the longer you live and work in SE Asia, the longer your children will have spent their formative years living and being educated there and therefore have had no better option than to have 'gotten'' used to the lifestyle.
Where is ''back home'' actually?

I don't think I'd stay in SEAsia after I finish working, or even that long. It's a great lifestyle when you're on expat earnings or doing well . . . but this isn't the region for our kids to grow up and live.

After retirement - though hopefully the business will continue - a place kept here to stay a few times a year is sufficient.

If you are claiming that the point is yours, why do you keep contradicting yourself on it?
You have quite clearly written that SE Asia isn't the place for your kids to grow up and live in, yet you continue to do exactly that. Why?

There's no 'if' as the point is mine - that's about as obvious as possible - no contradictions there, just you trying to move the goalposts to elicit a reaction.

Yes, I have clearly written that SE Asia isn't the ideal place for our kids to grow up and live in long-term but I also stated that I'll choose when it is time to head back.

You keep harping on about this - do you have a particular interest in me?

So, will you tell us where you're posting from, as you clearly state 'there' for SEAsia, where your kids are/were raised and why?

Go on, you're good at asking questions, an you answer some?

If I was trying to elicit anything, it would have been a sensible answer to a simple and straight forward question, but since you are either unwilling or unable to answer said question there is absolutely no need for you to get all hot-under -the-collar about it thus making yourself look and sound even more stupid and foolish.
Goalposts, what goalposts? Reaction, what reaction?

Yes, I have clearly written that SE Asia isn't the ideal place for our kids to grow up and live in long-term but I also stated that I'll choose when it is time to head back.

Your precise and exact words are ''but this isn't the region for our kids to grow up and live.''
So what are you planning on doing since you and they are already there, will you be putting their growing-up and living on hold until it's time for you to move?

You keep harping on about this - do you have a particular interest in me?

I asked you a simple question expecting a simple answer to a contradictory post that you made, if you're unable to answer why don't you just say so and stop being paranoid about it?

So, will you tell us where you're posting from, as you clearly state 'there' for SEAsia, where your kids are/were raised and why?

Are you trying to convey that there is more than one of you by using the pronoun ''us''?
Thailand chatter.com let's see if you can work it out.
I don't bring my children on to any Forum for discussion, suffice it to say that they weren't
educated or brought up in SE Asia.
You seem to be rather an abrasive and a very easily upset kind of character.
Why do you even bother posting? Try growing a thicker skin.

So, you're not going to let us know who you were previously and where you're posting from?

Go stalk someone else

So there's more than one of you then.
Do you have to practice at being so obtuse or does it just come naturally?
On reading more than a few of your previous posts on other threads, you seem to be building an extensive reputation of being somewhat of a stalker yourself, so I do understand your paranoia of thinking and imagining that you are being stalked by someone else.

I personally think that it would benefit you greatly if you sought some psychiatric help in overcoming this problem.. Bye-bye.

Yet you have chosen to live in South East Asia and educate and bring up your children there, or are you just being facetious again?

You are badly mistaken............

[CHEEKYFOKKER]

Not so badly mistaken as you apparently. Either he lives and sends his children to school in a country in SE Asia or he doesn't, perhaps you should read his posts again and gain a better understanding of what he has written instead of going off half-cocked and making yourself look silly. What qualifies you to speak on his behalf anyway?

[Raven]

Life is full of tough decisions and life is sometimes lived in less that our own perceived ideal conditions. Panama Hat has said he prefers not to bring up his children in SE Asia but for now (a few more years perhaps), that's where it will be. Nothing wrong with that. He's working and providing for his family. Nothing wrong with that, either. Other options - boarding school? Also less than ideal for a family in my opinion.

^ Good points, Ronin . . . and (cringe) Tex as well.

No, that is not what he has said at all and stop trying to read between the lines. He distinctly states that it isn't the region for his kids to grow up and live.......But they are doing so anyway!!!!. It may have helped if he had have used the word prefer/preferred or arranged the syntax differently instead of looking like he was contradicting himself.

The only person who is half-cocked and looking silly is yourself! The poster is a friend so I am more aware of his personal cirumstances which are of course none of your business! Sounds like smeg?

[Ronin]

^ Correction smells of smeg.

[Delayed]

Certainly reeks of the unpleasantness that is now so pervasive over on TD!

[Panama Hat]

Camel Toe/exexepat I'd suggest, being angry and frustratingly impotent as usual.

Posters that will come back time and again under a different guise just to spout the same garbage really need a reality check, be they Aberlour/Fozzy/Eggsplat, smeg/runner/100others, CamelToe/exexepat/CHEEKYFOKKER and the list goes on.

Why they do it? Who knows

[CHEEKYFOKKER]

Which of course, what you actually mean is that you both have added each other as friends on 'Thailand chatter.com' without having actually met each other.
Furthermore your opinions and your personal knowledge of him has been formed out of what he writes and posts on this forum [Similar to what myself and other members have] and like you his personal circumstances are none of my business but if he chooses to air them on a forum the he should expect fair comment on them especially if they come across as of a somewhat contradictory nature.
However, I take it that you are a close personal friend of Smeg seeing that you know what he smells like.
Perhaps yourself and ph are members of the same Stalker & Troll Club, both fully paid-up.

Now how would you know that? The answer is you don't we knew each other long before posting on this site.

Not true; that is just your supposition, as for 'personal circumstances', you do not know the full story and I certainly will not be telling you any details as I have already said.

You are obviously a boring little man who has achieved nothing in life and it is you who does the stalking by returning here time and again to nothing other than argue with somebody who for whatever reason you dislike. No doubt you will reply to this with your another of your nonsensical rants, you poor pathetic fool.
