crumpled

..im starting to suspect the OP just wants to talk about bras an boobs, and the whole story is completely made up. lol.

If it was leg length, that would be perfect, me being a leg man

And you ladies talking of sizes is useless without photographic proof to back it up

Seriously, I'll wait until I bring one back with me next time I'm due back in the UK around March time. Then no mistakes. She'll have to be patient, especially it is not as simple as at first it seemed.

Considering she can go to a market, get a 36/80, take it home and it fits perfectly amazes me after reading the replies here and following some of the pointers to assess the correct size. Such is life. But I do appreciate the answers and help given and directed to.

Thanks Crumpled.... downloading now.

no problem, glad it helped someone

What was the programme's name and at what tie was it broadcast? If it was within the last 30 hours I can still watch it on my TV set.

Maestro... If you have torrentday, you can d/l the programme from there. Search for 'Iceland Foods' and you get 3 links.

Also available as a torrent on other sites for those wanting to see it.

Public shows of affection are generally frowned upon. Holding hands seems to be the main exception to this. In private, if she is not holding hands, kissing and cuddling, you'd have to ask yourself why not.

Consider the old adage of prostitutes, That they reserve kisses for their boyfriends / husbands

Where is the love if they are a cold fish?

edit....

Mine kisses, cuddles, holds hands all the time in private but shies away from everything except holding hands in public.

The news comes following an announcement from Thawatchai Arunyik, TAT deputy governor for domestic marketing, who said that festivities will be suspended as the country is in mourning.

Really ??

I have to agree with your sentiment.

When I spoke to the g/f the other day and asked if the family had gone to the temple over this, she said they had not and others nearby had not. Maybe not so much mourning as the government think. Add to that the family have been looking forward to Loy Krathong and now it will be postponed? Sad really.

The customs officials in the photo must have thought it was christmas.

even Chrystalmethmas.

Spiders?

Bugs yes, but spiders, no.

Really?

A friend of mine has a very large wife who eats in bed. He wakes up with paddle pop sticks stuck to his face regularly. I just thought I'd throw that in.

Some days I wake up surrounded by Kit-Kat wrappers.

In around eight hours it may be one of those days, I doubt I will see any spider parts sticking out from them though.

Seriously though, were I live, the locals do have a bit of a reputation for eating anything that moves, but not spiders, not enough of them to fill a bowl.

Chocolate orange flavour? I just had one with a coffee. Delicious.

As long as she keeps the to herself, no problem.

Pulling frogs apart in bed to get to the juicy bits is another matter entirely

Just a thought, not sure if it's any use , but would triumph have a conversion on a website as they sell here as well or in one of their shops ?

I did a search before coming into the ladies section to ask. And I found nothing with the numeric relation to the alphabetical one. All her bras are 36 / 80. And that 80 could be B or C.

As I said in my post above, I'll wait and take one of hers back to the Uk or maybe find a shop wherever we stay in Thailand that has alphabetical cup size when I am back over the December to March trip.

I bought a couple of bras in bkk last week, I am normally a uk 38 ff, no chance to find that cup size in thailand but I went to itesan and was told that a thai dd cup is the same as a uk e, so got a 38 e and the back size is fine, so figure the 36 uk back size should be ok, your gf needs to tell you her thai cup size alphabetically then you can go for the one below it.

The 36 is measured under the bust. Also you say your gf is 36 but you must have the cup size, that would be in the letter following the number. Without a cup size its pointless to buy her any bras at all.

Best thing to do for the band size is have her measure herself under the breasts around the chest. This gives you band size. Cup size, well she should know her cup size.

Conversion tables are easily found online. I like this one

Thanks for those answers.

The bra sizes are all 36 and instead of a letter they have the number 80 for the cup size. I've never seen a letter. The letter I can understand and could relate to.

Maybe it will be best if I wait, go to Thailand for this trip and take a bra back to the UK and find a good shop who can measure the bra and cup so I can fulfil her request.

I have to admit it seemed an odd request but she has often complained in the past when many Thai places selling bras rarely have her size, especially out in the country. Plus she seems to think it would be 'different' to have English makes (though I suppose many are not made in England - but that simply washes over her).

Even during trips to Pattaya she has seen too many 34 inch and few bigger.

What I'll do is explain and buy her something else that is English.

Thanks for the help, though

I have used Isohunt for many things over the years and am sad to see it's demise. Thankfully I am on 2 private sites and get most of my stuff from them.

The police certainly seem to have been quick off the mark with this one in comparison to many other crimes they fail on follow up on. sounds too like the criminals have been a bit stupid in spending the money so quickly and exchanging large amounts. They should have had the sense to wait but that money was obviously burning a huge hole in their pockets.

I was never able to work it out Crumpled you could try taking her to Central to try on on bras in the Marks and Spencer section - then you'll have an idea of her UK sizing.

The main difference I have found shopping for my Asian daughter's bras is that the Thai/Asian brands are usually quite small across the back, compared to the western sizes.

Thanks for that

I'm currently in the UK and heading back again to Thailand in December for several months and been asked to take some with me. If I don't get a definitive answer I'll try pot luck and hope for the best, taking into consideration the size across the back, as you have mentioned.

It is a pity the bras have a Thai size only whereas other clothing often has UK, USA and Euro sizes, even if they are not always accurate.

"swinging sex"...................never tried that one !!

Not many chandeliers in Pattaya

Yes. 1 very good friend in Thailand that I can phone at any time if I was in need.

I have good friends locally in the UK too even though most of my time is spent in Thailand.

I've been asked to buy some English bras for my long term g/f but am not sure if the same size equates or not.

She wears 36 / 80 size when bought in Thailand. Would that be equal to 36 inch UK size and a B or C cup equivalent?

I'm not trying to be funny about sizes at all but when I have bought jeans and shorts here in Thailand for myself the sizes tend to be an inch or so different to the UK sizes.

Thanks for any help.

Hmmm.....who is more likely to be right...... an academic or a politician?

I guess I'll have to go with the 2 per cent answer, unless I can phone a friend.

You want to be a millionaire, like the politician, then?

Most westerners don't understand the Asian way. It is our culture to make sure everything works well and the family harmony is important, not just the sex. The ony thing that may upset the white guy is the need to help the extended family as well as and when your help is needed, then only you are the good son-in-law.

When you get married you have to give the dowry and trays of gifts in accordance to the agreement with the parents and you can't ask back later if you're divorced.

If you treat the woman right, she will submit and prostrate to you, but if you bite then you better head for the court house.

Most Thais are kind people, not rough and of course somewhat frank in asking but that is common around Asia even where I live. You just go to understand the locals and don't waste time gossiping with neighbours. One good excuse is my husband's home, I've got to go and cook and that's it.

Hope you look for a new wife, if you're single again but make sure you find her really interesting, otherwise getting a divorce and the losing pride pricks your thick skin all the time. And for the woman - meaning going back to her parents' and starting all over which culturally is a no-no. Please be kind to the Asian woman.

My father used to advise me a lot about staying married, life and so forth. be simple-minded, don't drink too much, take care of all her needs and she will think the world of you.

Good luck with your next attempt of finding the right girl.

This is a wind up, right?

Any woman and man in a relationship should be sharing everything and that would include help for the family in times of crisis. If the woman does not help the husband financially in times of crisis does that make her a bad daughter in law? Because according to you, the man is only a good son in law if he pays through the nose to help the extended family.

In western culture we stopped paying for our women a long time ago. We give gifte because we want to, not because it is expected at any time in the relationship.

If we treat the woman right she will prostrate and submit to us? Why would we want a woman to submit to us or to prostrate themselves? Is it not a case of give and take between two people in any form of relationship? And most Thai women I have ever known are only too eager to gossip.

We do not lose pride in a divorce where we do not pay enough money to the woman every day/week/month, we normally lose some unwanted baggage.

Please be kind to the Asian woman? How about some reciprocation and be kind to us?

Nowhere in this post have I heard of give and take. All I read is take take take by the woman and that is not a relationship nor a marriage. Seems to me you need educating on relationships if this post of yours is not a wind up / troll.

I have to admit that the chit-chat between women comparing finances can get tiresome. Far too often too much exagerration too in the hope of putting someone else down and rubbing their noses in it all for the sake of face.

My long term lady has no idea how much I get per month and has never asked. Seems she is happy with how things are.

While I am in the UK, I give my long time partner nothing. She has a shop in the town near her village - that I paid for to set up initially and gets income from that. When I am in Thailand I pay for everything for her and myself. Her family work the shop while we are away 'holidaying'. They pay the rent, electric and such for the shop. They also take their wages too. Her sister is in overall charge while we are away and there are no problems at all.

Obviously she goes back and takes care of the shop herself when I come back to the UK. Seems a great way of doing things to me

I draw your attention to GreenSnappers input.

+1

Not enough options. Maybe we are contributing to some degree but the climate changes anyway as it has in the past.

I feel we are being taxed to the hilt in the U.K. over global warming and Camoron is now talking about backtracking on the green taxes - as of yesterdays news.

Get the tisue out. Maybe something for you to drool over here
