It looks as you just found each other, if that's your idea of fun, whom am i to stop you having it, go for it go, just don't ask me to share any of the stuff you are into, boys....to each its own

You seem to either have a bit of an issue with reading comprehension, or you simply prejudge people and ignore what they're actually saying. 

Obviously, that's not my idea of fun, or I wouldn't have called it sad, would I?

You learned how to navigate the old version - you can learn how to navigate this one. 

How modern, westernised and clean it was. I'd just visited India, and was expecting it to be pretty similar.

I sometimes have the same problem. Usually with americans, though.

He might have meant, 'Does anyone learn here as opposed to learning hear.' In which case perhaps a colon would have been preferable, 'Does anyone learn:here?' 

It's really not worth being a member of the grammar police on TV  because for many members English is not their first language and even when it is there are still plenty of howlers, ' the manager needs to reign in his unruly players,' etc

At least the Thais have an excuse, the secretary at my school told a tourist in Nong Khai to 'turn left at the conjunction.'

Back on topic-,farangs getting on Bangkok buses, backpacked to the hilt and then standing in the doorway at the top of the steps holding both rails so it's impossible for anyone to get on or off. 

I don't think I've ever seen a backpacker on a Bangkok bus. I can pretty much count on one hand the number of times I've seen another farang on the bus, and they generally seem to be seasoned expats.

Realistically then a ghettoe full of alcoholics eating pie and chips all married to bargirls,is that really someone's idea of heaven?

Sadly, I think it probably is. 

Wow. So you think you'll get to be choosy about your tenants, in a place where the property market is flooded with supply, when your idea is struggling to gain traction even on the forum that exactly represents your target market?

Yeah. Good luck with that. 

There will always be moaning. It's the same subset of people who would rather use the same OS until the day they die, regardless of how outdated and insecure it becomes, rather than engage in the minor effort of getting to grips with a new one.

So, given that a high proportion of farang expats are married to Thais, how is this going to work?

Do you let them move their wives in too - in which case you don't have farang community, because half your residents are Thai?

Or do you exclude them - in which case you just alienated many of your potential customers?

I would rather pour boiling water on my genitals!

I'll put the kettle on.

And a pretty jaded view of the forum from a supposed newbie.

You might have no need for condoms back home, but some of us were luckier...

Where did I say I hated people similar to me, or I didn't like the stuff I used to? Don't put words in my mouth.

I just moved here to experience something different, not more of the same - I could have stayed at home for that.

Nope. If I wanted to live surrounded by westerners, I wouldn't have moved to Asia.

Little of the stuff people are carting around in their kecks seems exclusive to Thailand. How did you carry your belongings before you moved here?

I wear normal clothes. I don't dress like a tourist, because I'm not on holiday.

Did you guys need that many pockets back home, too?

Golf balls, for one. They're great on a golf course. Cell phone for another.

Doesn't having your balls hang that low affect your swing?

And you wear....?

 

I notice you look for bra strap locations and socks...Is this a fetish or you are a fashion designer looking for inspiration...Tell all...?

I wear none of the above. 

They seek me here. They seek me there...

Be that as it may, its rare to see Thai or Westerner males in trousers when not in a business type situation.

Seriously?

There are Thai people wearing trousers all over the place around here.

I'm really curious as to what you guys need all these pockets for.

An example will cost you 100 baht.

How would you like to pay?

You must have a hell of a dirty car.

Right on!  Like you I'd wear nothing but a three piece suit to the supermarket.  I mean those vegies deserve our respect!

I'd rather not have to reach past someone's sweaty armpit hair to reach those vegetables.

I may be inclined to agree with you on a few points. but this is a tropical holiday destination. What you are describing is basically what people pack to wear on a tropical vacation.

And why do cargo shorts get such a bad rap. There are some good versions and some bad ones.

Sure, if you're at the beach. But not in a nice restaurant in Bangkok, at an office, or in the supermarket.

Huh? Last time I checked washing and vacuuming was 200 Baht total? Waxing can't be that much more?

Maybe he's getting a sack, back and crack done while he waits for them to vacuum his car?
