I thought of Carrie on my wedding day believe it or not, she was excited by the prospect of buying a new hat for the event, although I doubt she would of traveld all the way to Thailand. Sadly missed, we had a certain kind of rapour that I miss, both on and off the forum.

Its fast approaching 1 year for my new life here in thailand, and what a pleasure it's been so far. I'm now very happily married to my Thai gf that I met some 3 years ago, but then marriage was never really spoken about, it was just a platonic relationship, but personal costs of me living here ...

Thanks for the update on your new life, and good to hear you are as DIY active as you were when at home in Karnack village. Talking of DIY, according to family members out there, they say you should make sure your roof is sound as the rain season is about to begin, and the down pours become ...

Hi all, just a quick update regarding my new location. I've settled in now in a lovely countryside location called Buriram. Already met some decent expats living here, although I very rarely go out at night, just enjoying the country air and working on " my property" which comes complete with a thai ...

Flipping hummer A4 that is a lot of cash, was it worth it?


No, that's not me M.T., I got out years ago, sad to say it was Dusak, I only say sad because that person put more into Egypt than probably even you and I combined. It's that which makes me sad, for it was he who helped so many others ...

Goodness me Teddyboy I don't remember those days thank God.

Strange though it may sound, a few hours after I posted yesterday Egypt's main banks had restricted the amount that their own people can withdraw from their accounts to travel abroad and must show proof of their international travel, and ...

Egypt, like most countries have all allowed $ 10,000 to leave the country without declaring it. While leaving Egypt I noted a lot of new signs stating you were only allowed $ 5,000 now. Do they really think this will be observed by folk such as myself that had the equivalent of $7,000? They really ...

I find it very sad to read Dusak's recent posts, that he is now leaving Luxor, a place I know from reading his posts for many years, that he now finds it impossible to live there. He has really lived the life of being part of Luxor, or should I really say Karnack village. He has always told us the ...

I'm so eager to leave I don't even het my dates right

These new visa rules are a typical load of egyptian ********. My last visa, under the old rules, paid for my 1 year, got 6 months, I asked why, they said because I entered via Cairo! What do they expect me to do, parachute into Luxor.
This last renewal, which is supposed to be ready next week ...

Dont know about Sudan, but yesterday Iran shot its first Cruise missile hitting a cargo vessel they say was connected to Israel. Happy days ahead.

Nice to see that like myself Horus, your still in the land of the living 😊 my friend Kaliea and i are still good friends, it was her that bought my ground floor flat, but not after heated discussions of a genourous discount ' for old times sake' lol. And she being the person she is, once in ...

Just thought I would send a hi to you all, I'm still alive and doing ok. Can't remember the last time I posted, but I seem to have no time now to join in the debates. Still here in Egypt, but like to escape whenever I can to a more relaxed and pleasant destination.
I could chat about the high ...

It's certainly nice to discover that members are concerned about my health or I'm still in existence. I did have a health scare when I suddenly started to caugh up blood had every test available including a CAT scan the end result was that I had developed a severe broncle infection and the harsh ...

I received an e- mail several days ago, it just stated that if you hadn't had your jab they are starting to issue them " again" on the 18th of December. I ignored it as I'm fully jabbed, but now, with this information, and accepting the ineptitude of this country, it was more than likely informing ...

Just been watching an interesting news item concerning the billions of discarded face masks and disposable gloves. Researchers at the America university of Cairo have developed a new form of concrete containing the chopped remnants of the masks and gloves. It reduces the carbon foot print of ...

Do you supply a 1972 Ford Escort 1.6 Sports by any chance, one of the best cars I had.

Had another look today at the Avenue, they have no covered the track way with gravel, put up more sound and light boxes, but what is dashing the much awaited proceedings...Not...Is they are putting in a paved walkway that looks around 6 meters wide from Luxor temple to infinity. God only knows how ...
