Can't work a silver otter

Retirement is all very well; but occasionally I do consider re-joining the rat race (not really). However, upon checking the Ministry of Labour regulations, I discovered that many of my skills would not qualify for a work permit. I could not do the curl of beauty, the paper hand job or the sale of every page. And working a silver otter is specifically excluded. Bugger it, will just have to remain idle.

Credit for discovering this page must be given to Mr. Robert James, one time Pattaya Ghost and exponent of number 19 “Job Thai Dolls” and now a journalist with one of the better rags in Thailand.

There’s hope - nothing there about working the ancient Leica, just don’t hawk the product and be sure to avoid the gas party animals, they sound like a very young set…

A very poor translation of a list of professions which are prohibited for foreigners. Professional translations can be found on the internet.

Since I have just perfected my own Job Filling Machine AND I am in the business of International Trade I believe I can work in Thailand….I have just inserted my request into my machine and am awaiting results as to what I shall be doing….and here it is … I shall be working as a Work Hat…( and I was so hoping to be the proletariat - bummer…)

Could have been worse, might have been the paper hand job…

I had noticed in Thailand that there is a lot of excluding of the special expertise required associated with the design calculations and project construction control testing

I see the humour isn’t lost on you.
