Hi Mike , yes I did receive your invite , along with Kennyboys also , but social networking sites are`nt really my scene . I have also receive an handful from colleagues within my company , but I have avoided so far the clamour to join up .
I am curious to see at work what the repercusssions are going to be for the rest of us , as management are`nt best pleased right now , this is only to be expected as their views are really conservative and are ultra politically correct . It is quite scary at times when I see how they try to manage every facet of our lives and this as now extended to monitoring us away from work , in cyber space . This will probably explain to many of you why I am more low key now , as all it takes is the wrong comment to the wrong person at the wrong time ................... YOU WILL ALL SEE WHY I YEARN FOR THE FREEDOM OF THAILAND . I must admit I did not see it coming at first , but bit by bit their hand was revealed and now I must be careful .
I do not have a job dealing with the military or anything like that , but the way in which we are treated and what I have said previously would give many people that impression .
I sometimes wonder what they would say about Jimmy macs soi , SOI 6 , they would be some serious tut tutting and finger wagging going on . the joys of working for a paranaoid company .........and now you all are a little bit wiser !!!.

Each to his own, Yogi !
I must confess that most of the stuff at social network sites is also not my cup of tea, even I tried a lot since I have registered at Facebook.
Most of the stuff, I checked out when I was bored...
But I prefer to do something more useful with the internet.
Things I love to do are all about keeping in touch with friends and doing some photo sharing.
The possibilies for those things we have on Facebook are just great... everything else is just a waste of time and doesn´t helps me much in my daily seek for informations and communication.
I still see the web as a big library where I search for specific things I´m interested in.
I don´t like online computer games or senseless web surfing with no special aim... and I´m really not interested in making friendship with complete strangers I never met in real life, or never had any other form of correspondence before.
I use to ignore friend requests like "Hi ! I read your profile and want to be your friend !"
And it doesn´t matters how cute the girl who sent the message looks like.
I always need a reference to the person that contacts me... and the minimum of a reference I need is a correspondence on a forum of my interest, such as UKBKK or AJ´s.
But in your case, Yogi... after reading your reply here, I began to wonder if there is no freedom of speech anymore on MonkeyIsland !
Looks like your employer tries to take full control of your life, even of your private interests.
Can´t you do what you want on your days off ?
Hmmm... I must admit that I never use a computer at my workplace to visit Thai related sites.
And... maybe I wouldn´t post my pic and my trip reports to any German forum.
But, as I said before, the simple fact that I live in Germany and that my employer wouldn´t search for me on English websites gives me some security.
Even my workmates and my employer know that I use to travel to Thailand, the probability that they get the idea to type the keywords "Anna Jet", UKBKK or even "MekongMike" on search for me in the web, is a million to one.
Anyway... Yogi-san... I hope you´ll keep in touch with us... against the phantom menace of the dark lords at work.

Hi Mike , firstly to answer your question , No I am not in Pattaya yet . I have been quiet for the last two weeks as I have been under the cosh at work , as they make one last concerted attempt to kill me off , so that I am unable to go anywhere , apart from hospital . I knew that there was no chance to post , especially from last friday until tonight , but it should literally be downhill from here .
In light of recent developments in Thailand , all I can say is Mike , that shortly I will be boarding an Aircraft , which may or may not be landing at BKK . If it does I may or may not be travelling to Pattaya , but if I do I may or may not be drinking alcoholic beverages etc etc ................... sorry I cannot be more specific than that .......... I have to generalise.
IF I DO GO TO THAILAND AND I DO GO PATTAYA , I WILL PROBABLY FEASTING ON ALL THAT IS GOOD ABOUT THAILAND ............................ITS CULTURE , OBVIOUSLY .
I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION AND I WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK FROM OTHER WELL TRAVELLED INDIVIDUALS , IF I WAS IN PATTAYA , ON BEACH ROAD , IN WHICH DIRECTION WOULD I HAVE TO GO TO GET TO THE ..........
" PHILLIPINES " 
where will it all end . I know and understand Peters concerns ................... and as it is bar and forum , he as the most to lose ................. its a sad , sad situation though .
regards yogi .

Hi Mike ............... HAHAHAHA ........ nice one , your talents are just wasted there in Germany , you need to be here on " monkey island " .
But lets get serious now ( yeah , for a change ) I sense that Thailand is going through a transformation right now and that change is making them all nervous . You know as well as I do what issues there are in Thailand right now ( not going to name them ) , my concern is this , what effect it will have on forign investors ( tourism also ) as nobody likes to invest in a country where there is so much tension , so much un ease . I suppose only time will tell in which direction the Thais go , but that is there choice , not mine . In the mean time I wonder if all the issues surrounding Thailand , will make people think twice about choosing it as a place to invest / holiday .
I am not worried yet about the state of affairs , but I am not going to plan too far ahead just yet .
Within Pattaya itself there are police raids trying to enforce drinking hours / sordid behaviour ................... I just hope that they don`t push this too far other wise it will worry foreigners and they may vote with there feet ..................... and stay away and maybe travel to the PHILLIPINES . you never know .
regards yogi
