where are all the young motor bike taxi drivers gone?

[gerefan2]

The Thais treat the police as “negotiable”.

They know the Army cannot be bought.They are frightened of them and hence the now strictly complied with closing times.

I doubt the Army have any financial interest in anyhting, let alone motor bike taxis.

And yet.....

Have you visited Deli Diner recently? The full English breakfast is delicious and only 119 baht.

Arsenal Easy to see why Moses does not want you around as moderator

Jellybean, don't be "SHY", just put your hands around his waist next time. It's not rude or impolite. If he was not comfortable with that, he will politely tell you so.

If you never ask, you will never know? Just ask him outright, "Would you like to meet after work for drinks", or " Would you meet for massage". Trust me you are not offending him by asking. This is Thailand!

Don't be shy, you helpfully advise me, Blacktouch. Well that’s easier said than done. Lol!

You may have noticed on another topic that Smiles said his middle name is 'Acidic'. In that case then, I claim that my middle name is 'Shy' i.e. Jelly Shy Bean. I am shyness personified. I really don't think I could get on a motorbike and immediately wrap my arms around a handsome motorcycle driver, despite really wanting to do just that.

Just holding on to a driver’s shoulders seems like an invasion of his privacy. But I am just too lily-livered to travel on the back of a motorbike and not to hold on to the driver. And his shoulders seems the most acceptable part of his body to hold on to. [Long sigh]

Good try Wombles.

Having carefully gone through your signs and symptoms, Jellybean, we are of the opinion that you're having a condition commonly ascribed to pathological shyness.
Nothing to worry about really.
The next time you encounter a handsome driver, tell him that you're suffering from vertigo. He'll sympathize with the state you're in and will accommodate your arms around his waist. The thought of it is already making me giddy.

Jellybean, you could hold onto the "grab handles" on the seat? No need to invade the driver's privacy by wrapping your arms around him and groping him, surreptitiously.

JB, I would never catch a motorbike taxi, but here's what I would do:

First, put your hand on his shoulders and say: "Here ok?"

Then put your hands around his waist and ask the same question.

That way, he gets to decide where your hands go and nobody loses face or feels awkward.

Thats not fair Lonely. Moses appointed Arsenal so he quite obviously did want him in the role......it was just the rest of us who didn't maybe after seeing how he decided to use the role for his own personal vendetta - unsuccessfully. But as he was there for WAY over his often talked about limited period and he was the one resigned according to him then one can only assume that Moses was quite happy with his efforts and was quite happy to have him around.= - for HIS own purposes - and that IS fair enough I guess as it's a business that Moses is running here not a message board - lest we forget.
