I'm English .....

Excellent. Really funny and very well edited.

Mr John?? Doesn't that ring a bell??

Our friendly swimmer?

Think you'll find that swimming Mr John is an Australian. This Mr John is English, as coincidentaly is the Mr John English teacher beaten up outside Xzyte

It's not hard to realise that TheForemostAuthority and onionman (the OP) are the same person.

That can't be - I'm sure it's against forum rules .........

What did that Gor chap from the website get locked up for?

Que??

What on earth is a 'Gor chap from the website'? It's not a question that follows the idea of the thread. Not even one that makes any sense, given the lack of information in it.

Not much to say about that one is there. Opportunist thieves are out there all the time. Not giving them the opportunity is a hard job unless you want to appear paranoid

Adj.1.miffed - aroused to impatience or anger; "made an irritated gesture"; "feeling nettled from the constant teasing"; "peeved about being left out"; "felt really pissed at her snootiness"; "riled no end by his lies"; "roiled by the delay" annoyed, irritated, nettled, peeved, pissed, pissed off, riled, roiled, stung, steameddispleased - not pleased; experiencing or manifesting displeasure

Just a quick google on the word 'miffed'. You didn't actually mean it to be construed like this , did you?

Buriram is definitely worth a visit. Stand in the square in front of the railway station and stuff yourself on fried pork balls on sticks dipped in chilli sauce any weekday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The view is incredible!

Look very similar to film or tape spools to me. Have to be for some very specialist application to be made of glass and kept in expensive cases though.

By the way, when you said 'Phom ke sonjai puying dii dii' ... what does the 'ke' mean?

Ke would mean 'only' แค่

They are standard audio left right and video connections. All modern tv's have them.

As previously mentioned, I also recommend "Mr Brooks" with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore as well as "1408" with John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson. Also Anthony Hopkins in "Fracture". He has a line in a courtroom scene that had me in stitches.

I remember it as "Snow White thought 7 Up was a drink until she discovered Smirnov"

(Old slogan from Smirnov adverts)

Then there was the Thai mechanic. He didn't have much money but he liked to have a drink now and then. Didn't have enough money for Beer Chang (or even that terrible brew Beer Archer) but he had a few bottles of brake fluid handy.

Being the adventurous type, he poured himself a plastic cup of brake fluid - with ice. Drank it down --- ahhhh!!! Great stuff, he thought to himself. Soon, he was drinking a litre of brake fluid a day.

His workmates were shocked. That stuff will kill you, they warmed him.

No way, she said. I can stop anytime.

That's even funnier than the joke !!!

Looking closer, I'd put the pictures as "end of last year / early this year" sort of time. Anyone pinpoint it any more?

Two "I want a clown" threads at the same time. Who'd have thunk it. And newbie 'flowerclown' who joined today is in them both. Interesting.

I don't have a great problem with locals versus tourist prices, but I do with racial pricing.

So, you think it's ok to rip off tourists as long as you're alright?? You've been presenting a very good argument for taxi-meters versus baht busses so far. Methinks you've just blown it

You're right. Just looked at my place (near Tesco on Sukhumwit) and it's a new picture from one I saw a few weeks ago.

Personally I've never heard of 'king' (ginger) being prefixed with 'pak' (vegetable) before in Thailand. I have no other suggestions to offer though.

Looking at the picture of that drain cover - it certainly wouldn't win any safety design awards. Extremely user-unfriendly!!

As Jeremy Clarkson said - "Speed never killed anybody - it's the sudden stop that gets you"

Loved the video from HumphreyBear

Would there be any broken glass near them by any chance?

Dormilax?? Never heard of it. Sounds more like a sleeping pill to me. I googled it and got nothing more than a bunch of frogspeak about furniture makers.

Excellent timing - I arrive home in Pattaya on the 16th. Please sign me up with one guest, sounds like fun.

You must have not been in pattaya for years I suppose

I live in Pattaya. Still haven't seen a Hamburger Danmark for years. Perhaps I'm hanging around the wrong parts of town ...?
