Keeps

Who's confused? Is that you transam?

That will never happen. They both thrive off of antagonising each other. Pretty much ruins every thread though.

When I first came to Thailand late 90's mobile phones weren't that common. I got friendly with an Italian restaurant owner and his wife had a telephone which you could use to phone home for a fee. She was a rather large lady and her name was Mo but I spent the first week calling her moo. At the time I didn't know this was the Thai word for pig.

Wow, that's got to hurt. The little fella looks quite coy about it.

You girls normally wait until around 5pm before you start bickering....

A truly amazing innings and that's from a Pom! Can't see anyone beating India though in their own backyard although the Aussies are looking good after a poor start. I'm dreading keeping an eye on the England v Netherlands game later this afternoon....

I don't think he was having a pop at you to be honest. From his previous posts he's not that sort of chap. Very pleasant in general. I think it was a comment aimed at others. He may well prove me wrong with a response but I think he was just responding regarding the 500 baht.

Well, if this one gets boring, GG has just started another completely mental thread...

You haven't seen her..........

Right, I'm back. Got my Singhas so you boys crack on. I was taking the Mrs out for dinner tonight but that's gone right out the window. She's got a face like a smacked ar*e 555

Any chance you boys can put things on hold for 10 minutes whilst I pop to 7/11 for a couple of Singhas?

Here we go!! Bob has turned up as well. We are in for a right old tear up tonight! 555

Yes, and that is the English English.

Beat me to it. I was typing whilst you posted.

I always thought it was spelt "behaviour" or am I missing something? I think the US omit the U and UK/Aussies include it? I've always thought some of the US spelling of words was decidedly dodgy 555

I've got a mate back home who absolutely despises his Mrs. Spends every waking moment they could/should be together in his workshop in the garden. He has £££ of equipment he pilfered from his day job of being an engineering teacher at a 6th form college. He has some say over the budget so he orders new kit and takes the old stuff home, metal presses, welding machines, cutting gear etc. Very talented guy making all sorts of stuff. I go round there every Saturday when I'm in the UK and we neck some beer, listen to tunes and chew the fat. If his Mrs approaches he just starts banging and bashing stuff to make it look like he's busy.

I think that has a lot to do with the "noises" they make during the night and not waking each other up every time they need a pee. 555 I don't think it's a bad idea. Better to do that then be grumpy with each other the next day due to lack of sleep. Luckily, I'm not at that stage yet.

My Mum and Dad always told me "never go to bed on an argument, you may never seen them again". I try and abide by this at all times, even if I believe I'm in the right. I'll still mutter "sorry" under my breath.

The manufacturers recommend changing the blade every 1-2 weeks. No way! It would cost an absolute fortune. I tend to get about 2-3 months out of a blade shaving every other day. When I start getting the odd nick, then I know it's time to change it. It's a huge expensive for us men. I tried an electric shaver for a very short while - never again. Left me with a very prominent neck rash every time.

I'm still a Gillette Mach3 man myself. A while ago I bought some blades through Amazon. They were not particularly cheap so I thought I'd give them a try assuming they would be "the real deal". Luckily, only bought one small pack to try them out. After my first shave I looked like I'd had a face massage from Edward Scissorhands. Rest went in the bin. Back to my usual source at an exorbitant price.

My apologies, terrible grammar. I stand corrected.

Please, make him stop!!

I'm as chilled as a polar bear sat in a freezer eating an ice-pop

What on earth does that mean? I think you need a lesson in your own native language first. At least you made a new friend, so every cloud and all that.

The guy is not asking for a sub standard Thai language lesson which you seem to be providing. He is asking whether the Thai families interact in a manner that Western families might.
