I could imagine how the UK cops would react if some Asian came to the UK and decked out his Motor in this way!

Maybe they're finally going to get a tax bill in the UK so need every bit they can drag in.....

If he doesn't have any authority what a waste of time. Must have a seriously fragile ego...
I hope people point at him and laugh when he drives by or they come across him....

Probably the umbrella attendant at the greasy food court.....

Given some of the deadbeats one sees teaching over here, as long as you're presentable and have a reasonable standard of English, I'd say you have every chance.

What is the Allan Hall joke ?
Allan Hall isn't a joke, he's a nasty piece of work. Lot of stuff around about him and shar practices. Think he was big in CM Expat club
What is it with these 'rotarian/expat club' types? These so called self-appointed 'pillars' of expat society who cram themselves into every photo opportunity they can, nearly always tend to wind up as rip off merchants, con artists, or just plain villains, far worse than the much maligned 'wife beater' wearing, tattooed, shaven headed ''low class tourists'' some jokers love to slag off on this site so much.

Girls wanting to sound cute often use 'Noo' หนู as a pronoun so don't do that or your pals might batter you or rip the p i s s until you die.....
Pronouns in Thai blow. There are many, some depending on status but if you want to keep it simple then stick to ผม or your name as a personal pronoun.

Un !@#%@!# believable. Thainess and desperation at its finest.
but what if you prefer to use a dictaphone?
Use your fingers like everyone else does.....

If ผม feels 'formal and stuffy', use your name as a pronoun. It can feel odd speaking in 'first person (?)' to English speakers however this is perfectly acceptable in Thai.

This report should have remained a secret, so that those thinking about joining, do.
It's better they go, and don't come back, than sit with a festering mind in a London, Sydney, or New York bedsit.
I'd say that they powers have let this public so those in the field, leg it 'home' and spill the beans about ISIS. If this report is genuine however it sounds like ISIS is on the brink of collapse if they need to start policing their own ranks from within. To add another SEAsian parallel it is widely thought the Khmer Rouge finally collapsed when the hierarchy became so paranoid of their fellow cadres that paranoia disintegrated the KR from within.

One can maybe draw a Thai/SEAsian parallel to this.
No doubt the 'hardcore' ISIS fighters looked at all the ''privileged'' kids coming to join their cause from cushy backgrounds in the West with a degree of askance, much in the way the Pathet Lao/PLAT hierarchy looked at the soft, privileged Thai kids who joined them after they fled thence to escape possible persecution, repercussions following the Thammasat massacre in '76.
Expecting to be taken as leaders, the educated Thai elite who joined the communists in the Jungles of Laos, NE and Northern Thailand, were not accepted as true communists by the hardline, battle hardened guerrillas, who saw them as pampered elite made them start very much at the 'bottom' doing menial, physical labour, or acting as servants to the leadership of the communist forces which led to severe disillusionment among the new arrivals, many of who abandoned the CPT camps and returned home, often offering information in exchange for immunity from prosecution which may have led to the collapse of the CPT strongholds and training camps in rural Thailand in the late 1970s.
(see The Moonhunter (2001)
Rachel Harrison's introduction to A Drop of Glass - Sridaiouang - Rachel Harrison, Duang Kamol 1997 - or read the story 'our friends have not yet returned from the City)
Becoming Urban; Thai Literature about Rural-urban Migration and a Society in Transition, Ellen Elizabeth Boccuzzi. ProQuest 2007)Will be interesting if this leads to an end or at least severe drop off in the flood of wannabe Jihadists from the West.
Conclusion (after all that piffle): Battle hardened extremists don't take kindly to soft new arrivals fresh from a comfy bed

From such hideous nonsense comes a monster in true Japanese style, currently taking the world by storm and dividing the Rock/Metal community, having won over the toughest audience in Metal at Sonisphere festival in the UK, before wiping the floor with Lady Gaga in the US, Babymetal are now considered a serious Metal act and several headlining shows in the US and UK were rapid sell outs and 'red hot' tickets, many predict they will be one of the acts of 2015.
Personally I likes them. When kids start wandering towards bilge like One Direction and other 'boy band' garbage, babymetal seem the perfect antidote to such silliness. The music is well crafted, driven hard metal, and they are lucky enough to have a virtuoso band behind them, including Takayoshi Ohmura.

I wonder if Animal Farm is available in Syria?
Which one? The book, the cartoon one or the ghastly 1970s porn 'classic'

Most of 'them' live in some sort of bizarre fantasy delusion.
''They'' are happy with a few baht a day, living in a grimy Grindhouse box room in Din Daeng, a bowl of Mama noodles or a meal of slop in a greasy food court, washed down with a few urine-warm Archas, though they will come on here, or write in their insipid 'blogs'; telling everyone about their ''amazing'' lifestyles and prattle on about how the rest of us who have proper jobs, visas, healthy salaries, women who haven't been biffed by half of Bangkok, comfortable lives, pleasant houses, etc are ''doing it all wrong''....

Nancy hate to break this to you but the average TV poster isn't a member of the Rotary Club or Gymkhana Club and doesn't give a rat's about Burmese refugees because most of them are Bangladeshis anyway.
Looks like JT set you up for a fall.
I hate to break this to you, but we're not all as racist as you are.
Chucking out time at the Food Court already?

You're supposed to have a degree but I don't think that is particularly enforced. As above says, you could maybe teach French.

Face it, his life is better than yours and you can't take it. end of story.
keep trying maybe some day, you can walk upright too. . .on two legs.
How would you be able to know that unless you know him or know us all?
Most of us have good jobs, nice homes, get splendid salaries, have decent crumpet so don't need to play at pretend coppers to compensate for something missing in our lives.
I don't know what's sadder, the hobby bobbys themselves or their little 'supporters' who chirp up hoping for some reflected glory....

I wonder if he posts here on TV?
Apparently he's got better things to do than drinking and playing on the internet like busting himself some of them thar pesky "far-Lungs''

I wish the OP well with his problem, strap on or not.....

The snag is that it's obvious the OP's head if full of preconceptions about male expats already hence her request to meet 'normal' people.
It ain't a pre-conception if every one she has met so far has hit on her right out of the blocks.
And I can easily see that happening if she hasn't connected with the right folks. Hence, the OP. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Indeed. Some people will seize any opportunity for an argument, though.
Maybe, but 'some people' are adding to the topic instead of hanging around like a spare willy at an orgy just having random, rather lame snipes at other members...
If you have nothing to contribute why not pop off to the food court but don't forget your umbrella.

Maybe she's red hot and blokes hitting on her is something which has always happened to her....nothing abnormal about hitting on a hottie.

Then obviously you're not part of that group.

Joe Cocker, Grammy-winning singer, dies at age of 70
in World News

Sad news, made worse by the fact that the current #1 in the UK is some limp dross by some talentless no-mark from the X Factor. Are we really the nation who has led the world in popular music for so long? Is the UK public and media now so inexorably musically bereft that we have to see bilge like this top our charts now? Is this crap and 1D all we have to offer the World now? Sorry World. As a Brit proud of our popular music heritage, I'm cringing today.....whither the next Joe Cocker or the like?
