The year was 2002 or 2003.
We set off on that beach above, a friend and I on a Yamaha 1200cc jet ski. (rented)
We were heading out to the island Koh chang.
Now the thing is with the sea, it can be very deceptive. Sure it looks calm from land, but it is not the same when you get further out.
I was about to do the most stupid thing I have possibly ever done, buy a bar in Thailand, the follies of youth hey.
I put 3000 plus GBP (not so great British pounds) in the front of the jet ski. In a plastic bag, along with my phone and wallet and set off.
I was the one at the steering end for a while, then we swapped, I sat at the back. We swapped mid journey so my friend could have a go.
This was a bad mistake on my part, less than a minute later we were both in the water and trying to get back on the jet ski.
I got back on first and refused to let him steer again.
"how the hell did you manage to almost sink a jet ski" I asked, in a rather angry voice, I had 3000 gbp at stake at the time in the front compartment of said jet ski.
So we set off again, this time with me at the "helm" and then it hit, a wave, we took off to around 20 feet into the air, sideways.
10 minutes passed and the jet ski was sinking, all we could see was the bonnet, the front bit, where the stash of cash was.
It did not sink though, it was towed back in by the people that rented it to us, the same people who picked us up.
Back on the beach they were screaming at us that we ruined the engine and had to pay for it.
I refused, they blamed the waves, I blamed them for letting us take it in such waves, it was heated to say the least, Thai people can be very intimidating in crowds.
I snatched my bag of cash out of it when it arrived back on the beach.
Safe with the money we fled, jumped on my Honda cbr 400rr and screamed off down the road, safe and sound.
But then I bought a bar in Thailand, biggest mistake I ever made, never make a business when you are looking for a holiday.

About 7 year's ago a friend and I had planned a 4 wheel driving trip from Tasmania Australia's southern most state also being an island all the way up to the top of Australia. This being over 5000klm each way not including side trips. First day I traveled just over 100klm to my friends place were I would transfer my stuff and self into his 4wd and we continued on to to catch the ferry from Tasmania to Victoria on the main land. As we approached the ferry terminal I said to my friend I can't see the ferry this doesn't look good. Mined you we both had taken 4 weeks off our respective jobs to do this once in a lifetime adventure so time was not to be wasted to complete the trip. So we pulled up at the terminal and everything was closed up no one about.
Getting a little concerned now as my friend had made the booking weeks ago was calling the ferry company to find out what's happened only to end up working out he book the trip in reverse 🤣😭. Instead of booking it from Tasmania to Victoria he booked it from Victoria to Tasmania 😱. Not a great start to a time sensitive trip so we drove back to his place to stay the night and got rebooked for the next nights sailing. His wife just laughed at him when she found out what happened 🤣 The next issue was for the return on the ferry we could not get the same sailing as they were heavily booked up. So I had to stay in Victoria a few days longer and had to get some more days off work and we lost hundreds of dollars in the booking error. Besides that drama the trip went very well thankfully.👍
Superb story, 50 blurt heading your way tonight, thanks bud, bit sad to see this though https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=262549802592875
Unable to view that Facebook link. Can you elaborate on it a little for me?

Yes I've seen about this and nobody has yet any proof of what's actually happening. Apparently some are organising a mission to go out and find what's happening. The Australian Defence Force has said they are not involved. Could be some other organization that is involved if it happening.
50 sent to your wallet bud.
Cheers mate.👍
I had this story when me and my fellow patients got invited to join the nurses to go with them and have a good time at the beach resort. That activity was intended for the patients so that we can at least have some break and have some fun.
Its quite a bit of fun in the beach, I really liked sun bathing lying at the shoreline and then being cooled by the water. There was also adult pools and then the kids pool.
In the kids pool there was a slide, I saw that it might be fun to use it since I never really had tried it all my life. It was not that high though just right and so I slid down.
But the water was not deep enough to absorb my pointy butt that cut through the water of the pool since it was a kiddy pool. My arse struck the bottom of the pool as if there was no water to absorb the impact, it was one of the most excruciating pain I had ever experienced @ajerkoff as I thought that I broke my tail bone, I thought that I will be visiting the hospital
Thankfully the pain had subsided and I was able to recover.
I saw the same lack of physics as the video on a building site. They had constructed tubes to take concrete from the mixer to the point needed. They hadn't figured on the weight of the concrete tipping the balance of the tubes and they collapsed in the same way! lmfao
Siphoning those concrete mix up to a high rise building's flooring require a tremendous amount of force and engineering 😮
LOL.
no children were harmed - just the pride of the foreman.
Superb story of a painful time, 50 blurt heading your way later today.
Thank you again 😀

You hadn't yet heard the old Pattaya joke:
The best way to make a million is to start with ten.
:-(
LOL true that, money pit and all, it was fun though, but not the owning a bar part.
Caught the girls in the bar 1 day reading a book, it translated to how to extract from your buffalo when he goes home.
Some of the pages were pure gems. "Hello darkling, how is your week, family cow die, can you send money?"
Hello darkling, brother have motorbike accident, can you send money?
Me and my best friend were in stitches reading it, the girls were not amused though.
I gave the bar away for free, did not like running a bar.
You can take the girl out of the bar, but not the bar out of the girl.

I had my doubts about David Martin when he first appeared - his background just looked like controlled op. But his progress suggests maybe he's genuine.
Have you ever seen this?
Thing about the law is that it can be very slow and then suddenly collapses.
No, never seen it but will read it, even though it takes me off blurt.
Felt a bit guilty after sharing that video with so many people when it got to the sales pitch at the end.
I will be more careful in the future I guess, this book is ace though.
A few summers ago my son and I wanted to try a new kayaking spot in a very remote area of Killarney Provincial Park…. It was a long winding River that wound it’s way out into the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron Canada. My wife and daughter dropped us off and decided that they would go hiking on the nearby trails and pick some blue berries. The area is known for their delicious blue berries. It was around 3:00 in the afternoon, and We agreed that we would only be out on the water for about 2 hours and would meet back in the Parking lot no later than 5:00 pm to go for dinner … about an hour out we met up with some other kayakers who told us to keep a look out for black bears along the shore, especially along the hiking trails, since they had spotted a very large mother bear and several cubs eating blue berries only a few minutes earlier …
Bears ? Yikes, … the girls ! …. we quickly turned around and paddled as quickly as we could back to the boat launch. My heart beating very fast. Oh no, they have no idea.
They are going to get eaten by a hungry bear !
We pulled our boats up and headed down the trail, shouting and calling for them. There was no one on the trail. How far could they have gone ? We made lots of noise to scare any bears away… but now we noticed it was close to 5:00 pm and there was nobody around. Maybe they are back at the car. We raced back to the parking lot and it was empty. Not a soul around.
Where were they ? Did they drive to another trail ? It was now 5:30. Did they leave and come back at 5:00 and we were not there ? Luckily our kayaks were still on the shore, but no other humans , … for miles. Now I started to worry about us. We had no food, there were bears nearby, and we had no idea where the girls were.
Did they get hurt and have to go to the hospital ? What on earth happened to them ????
We were getting hungry now… and started imagining all kinds of scenarios. The closest town was a good 20-30 km away. I had a phone but my wife did not. It felt like hours had gone by …. But it was only minutes …. as the car pulled up and there they were … smiling, laughing and eating ice cream.
Yeah, they started down the trail and decided it was too hot and would rather go back to the Killarney Trading post to get some ice cream.
We were just happy they weren’t eaten by bears.
This is a video from our time on the water that day…. Yeah, all that drama but we still got the Video.
Superb story, never encountered bears, 50 sent on hive-engine.
I have a short story, yesterday I cooked rice using the stove,, suddenly my cousin was crying in the yard, then I went to the front of the house until in front of the house I neglected to persuade the little boy,, when I came back in the house, the rice was charred and almost I burned the house. This incident made me a little nervous playing in the kitchen.
50 blurt sent, thank you for joining in.
Thanks @ajerkoff🥰

I invest an undisclosed amount of money, enough to make my pulse rise thinking of it, into a foreign off shore exchange. Thinking it was a great investment to make because the account trader on the other end was making 10% daily with easy on his low risk profile, with massive fat gains on the larger accounts daily.
We made quite a killing to the point yatchs were discussed to finally introduce everyone, it was literally a too good to be true crypto story than started with a Honda civic worth sum of money and by the end of it I would have been able to afford lambo. Everyone was IRL friends so trust was never at any point even fathomed, yet worried about....
That's when the Chinese customs seized his account and told him they witnessed a 50% loss on his account. There was never a court date set up to reclaim the funds from the account, we learnt what business in china was like... Even if it was on a private island, the internet is not, and neither is the financial authorities.
Where is the money? that is a good question, did the Cambodian exchange keep the money, split it with the cops or did the militarized policy have a barbeque with hookers, we will never know...
50 blurt heading your way via hive-engine, Asia is very corrupt, having spent a decade there on and off I have many tales to tell, maybe in a book one day, if ever I find the time.
If i ever write a book, it will be about how a christian showed me the magnacarta and explained the freeman on the land concept to me, empowering me as a satanist to an extent that only the grave will be able to separate me from.
Anything i accomplish in my life, i assure you, is not for a subverted slave colony of any sort.
Happy to have made the acquaintance!
Have you seen the strawman videos? It covers the same or similar concept well, it applies in Canada too as you have a UK based maritime law system, magnacarta also still applies to this day, yes it was amended, but it still in place.
I have read parts of the UCC I am so serious about my soverignty. I use Sovereign as a gender pronoun so people get it... I AM NOT OF THEIR WILL.
