Copy of an e-mail I have just sent to the BBC - not expecting a reply from them -

Are you having a slow news day? I refer to the article on your website by your correspondent, Kate McGeown in Bangkok entitled 'Life as a Thai sex worker' What is the point of the article? Yes, there is a sex industry in Thailand but this applies to all countries. Is she supposed to write a certain amount of copy per week? Is she trying to attract more of the 'sexpat' types here? Couldn't she concentrate the thrust of the article towards 'Nightlight' and the good work that they do?

To be pedantic, shouldn't it be 'shell' an egg and not 'peel' an egg?

If your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/wife is being interviewed at the British Embassy, what is your official business there? You have none.

The applicant is being interviewed, not you. This stops anyone from prompting the applicant.

I voted, years ago, with my feet! I used to watch United on a Saturday and Widnes Rugby League on a Sunday. The Widnes ground was about 3 miles from my house and parking on match days was horrendous so I used to walk there and back. One Sunday, I got to the turnstiles and saw the price had gone up from 90p to £1, tutted, turned round and went home and never went back!

"Do you happen to know off-hand the difference between a "FedEx World Serivce Center" and a "FedEx Station"? " Yes, I do and it is not too difficult to work out.

What is it with some people? You took about 160 keystrokes to type your message. By typing 'fedex

thailand' & enter(15 keystrokes) or 'ups thailand' & enter (12 keystrokes), you would have got the information instantaneously. Now how simple is that?

But please make sure before you send them, they dont have skid marks, it does tend to put us gentleman off.

She said pants, not panties. If he wanted to wear those, that would be a totally different story.

You are confusing British English with American English.

Why not send him a pair to see if they will fit him

Good idea...but wash them first.e.)

Washing them takes all the excitement out of the occasion...

Also takes out all the excrement!

The seven dwarfs were having a bath and they were all feeling happy: When Happy got out, they all felt grumpy!

If the OP is not joking, why does he want to know how much longer will his relative live? Is he expecting some money from the will?

I was on a train in Glasgow a few yearss ago and a midget got on, a proper little midget with a Bargain Booze carry oot bag.

It was quite busy on the train so his bag could nae go on a seat and I could see him looking up to the overhead rack.

A certain good Samaritan was kind enough to say "would you like me to put that up"..... he said yes, and it was done, but it wasn't upright and through the gap in the bars his half bottle of vodka fell out and smashes on the floor.

He stands up red in the face as the inspector comes along to see what's going on.

The inspector asked if it was his, the midget says "aye...and Ah'm no happy".

Cue for a lone voice from the back of the carriage to say "well....which one are you then?"

I bet it was one of them who I was less than polite to and he took offence, the following day my gate had gone!

PM me a photo of your most recent tea-leaves, and your palm. I'll give you a reading.

kmart, I only use tea bags but here is my palm

OK point taken

But, I like your thinking, because their are two trains of thought here, and people just won't agree. I'm as close to being unbiased and in the middle as possible, although I know for certain that Mr Hippo is wrong. (I've tried to forbid him from continuing those thoughts, but he still wants to buy a new car, even though he doesn't have the means, and I'll end up paying.)

Were you sober when you weote this? Are you trying to merge two unrelated threads? Explanation, please.

I misread the drivel - I apologise.

As for you, moonoi, was that a gay jibe at me? If the 'giving me a 'feeling' of superiority' was also directed at me I can state that I do not have to feel superior, I am superior!

I did not call you any names but I can sink to your puerile level if I choose to. One last piece of advice is 'Quit while you are behind'

bkkhound04 - there was a gay jibe in Zeak's post to you and he called me 'sweety', perhaps he is unsure of his own sexuality. Should we tell him that it is alright for him to come out of the closet?
