HELLO ALL - NEWBIE HERE

Postby SW RANGER » Fri Jul 05, 2019 8:17 pm

Just wanted to say hello to you all and state I've been following RYP's stuff since I picked up a Copy of THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS PLACES IN 1997 to take my mind off My Dad's Quadruple By Pass ...He made it through and lived until 2009 at the ripe age of 89....Mom followed him in 2013 at the age of 2013...The Only dangerous experiences they had when travelling overseas when they were shaken down for $100 USD by a Female Commissar and her two Burp Gun Toting Guards on the Chopin Express whilst in Czecholslovokia going from Vienna to Warsaw in 1983...Dad and my Brother Rich were accosted by a Gang of Female Gypsies in Poland in 1988 who tried to mug them for their $$$$$ along with travelling on a Russian Passenger Ship from Stockholm to Danzig with Live Electrical Wires in the Bathrooms...Not to mention some very Rude Desk Clerks at NOVOTEL.....

Even though I do not agree with MDP's insights on pre Mugabe Rhodesia and Pre Mandela South Africa I find the insights most enlightening

Hope to make some new pals here !

You should offer to copy edit the next edition of WMDP for spelling.

That is always hilarious.

Is he? Did you read through 30+ pages of gibberish to find that out? I still have no idea who Seth is!

We ain't right in the head around here most of the time, but we do enjoy ourselves. Welcome to the psychosis Mr. Ranger.

rickshaw, you going to be in Bangkok again any time soon? We may be bumping through there again a couple of times in the next few months. I'll buy you another buffet dinner if you end up there while we are :)

Well welcome then. We can all appreciate shakedowns. Glad there's still new blood coming here... what... 20 years later?

I hope you get offended early and often. That's what this place is for. Oh, and the Tinfoil Hat part, that's most important.
