Wow, one look at his FB profile screams substance abuse issues and a bloke who doesn't really want help.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 8:29 am He has a public Facebook profile
Would appear to have been offered loads of help by many different people over 4 or 5 months including but not limited to accommodation, food and a flight out of here which he missed

yeah the whole thing is a bit retarded; if he would have let somebody set his shin when it happened he'd likely be back walking again by nowPSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 1:15 pmWow, one look at his FB profile screams substance abuse issues and a bloke who doesn't really want help.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 8:29 am He has a public Facebook profile

I'd guess mental illness, alcoholism with possibly a side order of amphetamine use could be in play here, along with his being enabled by those who support him as result of his situation

Brit not facing reality in midle ages
Brit not facing reality nowadays
Probably time to call it "a near-death experience" and go home to get straightened back in shape for (moderate) future adventures, no ?

So, the poster, saw him and took photos an doesn't know what happened? Nice guy, couldn't bother talking with him?Does anyone know a Gary Smith, from the UK? Saw him yesterday and tried to see what help he needs. Apparently he's been in Cambodia working as a teacher for 5 years. Looks like he's fallen on hard times real quick. Deserved, or not, I'm in no position to speculate. Don't know the details except that he's living on the street at the airport. Broke his leg and never had it treated, so he's a cripple right now, too. Please get in touch if you have any information about this guy."
Embassy cant visit him? WTF
Police wont assist or arrest him?
there, but for the grace of god, go I
'There with the grace of God goes he!'

Gary is beyond help. A useless scouser.
A few years ago I got him a job interview. He turned up pissed out his box at 2 in the afternoon. Sad to see him like this, but he's been on this path for a long time.

Go on
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
This.
This.

One of his Facebook posts shows the letter from his landlord explaining why he was kicked out of his apartment a few weeks ago, basically for being a complete drunken arsehole. I may be wrong, but I suspect the main reason he won't check into a hospital and get his leg seen to might possibly be that he knows that will mean not being able to drink alcohol for a few days.
