Thank you john luke

I " signed into" and completed the "registration" with a jaded hope that this forum will be a little different than the Thailand and Pattaya forums that I am currently a semi active member of. As a "senior" who "married " into this culture with a wonderful Thai family, maybe it is natural to become a little cynical and to become a "Grumpy old man" with a built in a sense of "seen it all before". However I must admire and respect those who, at a time when we are experiencing one of the worlds lowest ebbs in every sense , have the enthusiasm, faith and tenacity to start something new! I wish you the very best of luck and hope that I can participate in this new venture with a renewed sense of hope, not only for the Country I chose to make my own but for the world in general . Congratulations in this new and exciting forum. Edit With egg on my face Just noticed that this forum has been going for some considerable time and I for whatever reason I was never aware of it. I thought of deleting my post and just replacing it with a simple "hello"! However, The positivity that the email I read early this morning informing me about the ha ha ha "New forum" stimulated my "jaded mind" into writing something positive. On balance , I decided to let my original thoughts and feeling stand!
