Mamawan and I in Pattaya, Thailand, my primary residence now. I went into exile for several reasons, a genetic disease (Strumpell-Lorraine disease) which means that below 20 degrees I am frozen. Being severely disabled, I didn't want to be a burden on my family. With a small pension, the purchasing power is better. France does not suit me anymore, unease with the rise of the far right, a lack of communication with people.

Thailand has a military diet that is not suitable for many Thais, but people are always smiling and off covid is full employment. Not rich but not poor, the homeless are very rare.

For your vacation in Thailand, if you need any help don't hesitate to contact me.

 

So me, Jean Paul WAGNER, 65 years old. Retired from the SNCF (scandal) but I did a lot of odd jobs before. And at the SNCF for a long time in 3x8, I know what it's like to get up at 3 am to go to the turbine.

I have no desire for any fame, no recognition, or money (whatever). I just want a sharing of ideas and discussion ...


In 1968 I am 12 years old and I take 2 pies by the director of the college because I am staying out with bigger one on strike, first repression of the authority. Then a long period long hair short ideas, with a 2 hp as the vehicle, the police checks were not rare, already that it did not roll quickly.



Then a long period of political sleep, work, sleep, family, a few vacations to see the sea.

I got married to a woman from Cambodia, I had a son Guillaume. My wife, wanting money, we worked even more, trade, the markets first, then a store and the markets, all for me in addition to the SNCF. We have become rich, or almost. Then bad investment in real estate nobody pays his rent, but the costs are there, rapid fall in finances. My wife runs away, divorce. A little bit of depression for me, then I find out it's one of the best things that ever happened to me. I'm free.


Retirement is coming, I have all my time to myself, unfortunately I no longer have legs, the cane then the wheelchair limits the possibilities for leisure.

I have been playing online poker for a long time. So I play a little more, but never my money, I just play with what the sites give. So I never lose. I earn around 600 to 800 € per year and I have fun. It's been half a 13th month. As I am multi-tasking, I watch a detective series or videos at the same time.


This is how I came across Étienne Chouard one day. He told me something that I had never thought of, we could change the political system, raffle and all that. I started to think about it and I thought to myself, he has some good ideas but he doesn't go far enough in his reasoning. I had a little chat with him on facebook, but he seemed very narrow-minded. He even baptized me "the fly of the coche", in other words the thing which does not serve any purpose to get things done. He even banned me on his page after one of my jokes (maybe bad, I can't remember).


The only problem with having a democracy is that the people want to take power and exercise it.
