California Dave

My brother, who started this thread and many others, has actually now gone back to sunny Oxford.

I can assure you that he will have no interest whatsoever in forwarding any further postings.

This thread, and many of the other recent joke threads he started, are dead.

Personally, I liked his "Python" and "Comrade" nonsense, although I still feel his "Quentin" postings are pointless and stupid.

Rest assured, you will not not hear from any of these "individuals" again.

I understand that admin are now looking into the problem of idiots with multiple identities posting rubbish. Had they done so earlier, they would have noticed that all of my brother's identities "Professor"; "Comrade"; "Python"; "Quentin"; "Baron" etc etc all share the both the same e-mail service provider (ie, Hotmail) and the same password to access this site (ie, 123456).

With all respect, perhaps they need to do their job a little more thoroughly!

And as for those of you who took all this silly crap seriously, welllllll!!

One more thing.

Why not place a limit on the number of words which can be posted. The recent (and initially very interesting) thread entitled "ruling out the foreigner" degenerated into a farce thanks to a few individuals who spoiled everything by posting very long, very boring and totally irrelevant replies.

Similarly, the thread about the British "farang" arrested at Don Muang airport with all those ecstasy pills has gone down the drain for the same reasons.

Most of the replies posted to this forum are interesting and worth reading. Others are just way too long, stupid and unreadable.

If you believe that there are people willing to create a new alias purely in order to "flame" someone who's contributing to a current thread, why not introduce a waiting period between the time when a new name is registered and time when that name can actually be used to forward postings. I'm sure I've read that something similar to this happens on the "Pattaya Pages" forum. I think on that site you need to wait for 4 or 5 days before being allowed to post.

On this forum, it takes no more than about 10 minutes to set up a bogus Hotmail account, register a new alias on this site and then activate the account by going straight back into Hotmail.

Yu need to read some history books stevie boy. If it wasn't for US help with various supplies the russians would have been a short stroke for hitlers armies.

I guess I must of missed that particular John Wayne film, too funny.

Mr Vietnam you've never lost an argument in your life, have you ?

Don't worry about it dude. He's probably just some little peasant fresh out of the paddy fields who's working as a cleaner at Saigon airport and who wanks off every night while dreaming about visiting the Empire State Building and fantasising about how much more all the little girlies would like him if he had a piece of meat worth calling a piece of meat.

The iternet is full of tossers and this one is a class A example.

I also learnt at school (apart from the seed drill by that fanous band) that some other British subjectsalso  invented/discovered...

computer (Charles Babbage)

telephone (Alexander Graham Bell)

television ( John Logie Baird)

Light Bulbs (Sir Joseph Humphry Davy)

Radar (Sir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt)

Torpedo (Robert Whitehead)

Vacuum Cleaner ( Hubert Cecil Booth)

Pennicillin (Alexander Fleming)

Holography( Dennis G?bor)

Diving Equipment (John Smeaton, William James, Henry Fleuss..ok I looked this one up!)

Disc Brakes (Frederick William Lanchester)

Fax Machine (Alexander Bain)

Lawn Mower (Edwin Beard Budding)

Submarine (William Bourne)

Toilet Paper (British Perforated Paper Company)

and last but not least.....

VIAGRA ( Peter Dunn, Albert Wood, Dr Nicholas Terrett...didn't learn at school though!)

Nice one dude. This, and the previous post by Taxexile, are what makes this site worth visiting.

Add to your list the following:

Thomas Crapper invented the flushing toilet. Ever wondered where that most eloquent of phrases "I need a crap" comes from?

And the guy who (quite recently) invented the software to make the internet accessible. I must admit to knowing next to nothing about this and would dearly welcome some input. My understanding is that a Brit invented the software necessary to read the world wide web, but for reasons beyond my comprehension didn't patent the idea. Had he done so, I'm sure he'd now be very rich.

The name James Dyson also rings a bell. Didn't he invent that new vacuum cleaner? I also read somewhere that he's just invented some kind of perpetual waterfall or fountain or something. Anyway, another clever Brit.

By the way, I think Sir Humphry Davy had more to do with lights for miners than with normal domestic light bulbs.

Happens in my village in Changwat Chiang Mai as well. Barbeque.

Wow man. Doggie yang with sticky rice.

Aroy mark ( or "sep illi" if you're feeling a little provincial).

And who's "we"? I thought that the province south of the border beat France?

How can you be a Sassanach with a pseudenym like "California Dave". Get out of here!

Excuse the pseudonym - I guess it's not completely appropriate.

And yes, it was the province south of the border that beat the frogs.

Good luck to you all in 2004. I've no doubt my little province will be there too.

By the way, who was it who won the "Battle of Britain" the other day?

Good stuff!

And we just beat the frogs 24-7. And next week, the ozzies!!!

Germany was indeed way ahead of the world.  They also knew about Nuclear technology and such was in the baby stages during the war.  They had already developed biological warfare back in WW1

Excuse me, but I seem to remember that the Manhattan Project was largely an American affair, with the British and Canadian governments accepting subsidiary roles after 1942. While the project did indeed stem from the assumption that Germany was in the process of developing nuclear weapons, it was later discovered that these fears were completely unfounded.

The point is that even if America had not undertaken the project and gone on to develop Fat Man and Little Boy, Britain (perhaps in collaboration with other countries) most definitely would have. And make no mistake, we would have won.

I also seem to remember that it was a certain Sir Frank Whittle who invented the jet engine.

Now, i know only Yasothorn..is far from my idea,,, i never thought about this province humm i have heard about Eating Dog..jaaakk 

Not really sure if you're Thai or not, though I suspect the latter. However, in case I'm wrong you may wish to know that it's actually up in Sakon Nakhon that all those little doggies end up on dinner plates.

He should have bided his time, run for political office or worked his way up the food chain in the military, and THEN got involved with smuggling drugs. Look at tony blair, bill clinton, ronald reagan, oliver north.

What a fukcing stupid thing to say.

Do you honestly believe that Tony Blair is in any way involved with the drug trade.

You pathetic fool.

To me the following seems obvious. Contentious sure, but obvious nonetheless.

Tonight, across the length and breadth of the UK, teenagers, students and young twenty-somethings will between them take thousands and thousands and thousands of ecstasy pills. Thanks to the system of drug awareness put in place by the government, nearly all of these people will understand fully the risk of dehydration through prolonged dancing and will do their utmost to protect themselves and those around them. Almost without exception, all with have a "great time" and will suffer no ill consequences. The claim that prolonged use of the drug will reduce seratonin levels and may lead to longterm depression is still, as yet, unproven and overlooks the fact that use of the drug is generally transient and restricted in the main to teenagers and early post adolescents.

Also tonight, thousands of sex tourists here in Thailand will be falling in love with prostitutes. The vast majority of these men will voluntarily give away great amounts of cash, and even greater amounts when they have returned to their native countries. Without doubt, all of these sex tourists will also report having had a "great time", knowing little that through their actions the culture of prostitution will have been perpetuated and with it the culture of greed, laziness, dependance and low self esteem as experienced by the girls themselves.

All things considered, it occurs to me that the ageing, balding and all too often obese hordes from the supposedly civilised west are doing far more to erode the moral fabric of contemporary society than our moronic little pawn from England who just happened to get caught with some pills.

Isn't it just a little odd then that our big-eared friend is now destined to have his life destroyed courtesy of His Majesty's prison service while all those fat Germans out there are granted free reign to corrupt at their leisure.

there will soon be enough of 'em for a cricket team in there.

Good point.

Ol' Big Ears arrested a few days ago while trying to disguise his pills as skin cream seems to have much of the cunning and deception required to become a demon spin bowler.

As for the latest catch, anyone capable of picking up 150 passports would seem most certainly to have all the qualities necessary to be a top flight wicket keeper.

I'm sure that given time we'll have here a team capable of eclipsing the efforts of our current national offering. Question is, will they ever be good enough to beat the ozzies?

Can't beat it, as the red sun's setting in the haze and the dust is kicking up behind after a hard day's drinking lao kao and eating dtom gai, (with some prime herbs added), out in them paddies.

It's true dude. One day you gotta make it out here to Yasothon.

This place is where it's at man.

Sometimes it's all so cool you don't even need the herb. Wow!

I like to discuss plans for house extensions or furniture with my love, over a glass of Johnnie Black with the sun setting, and a harvest moon rising behind the house.

Nice one.

I personally love waking up in the morning in the deepest darkest northeast and watching many of the locals going to work on a buffalo.

Just a thought, but I'd be interested to know why the (farang) women on this thread think that their Thai boyfriends or husbands have chosen to pursue relationships with western girls as opposed to Thai girls.

As is well known already, most of the male contributors to this site pair off with what Bernard Trink politely refers to as "demimondaines". The dynamics of this sort of relationship are too well known to warrant further consideration.

But Thai men with western women is unusual and different. Could money be a factor, or is it the case that the men in question have become bored with pretty bimbos?

It's a question of economics.

Next time, add to the price of the Cambodian visa (1000 baht) the cost of getting to Aranya Prathet and back (150 baht each way by bus from Mo Chit), the cost of getting from Aranya bus station to the border and back (40 or 50 baht by motorcycle or tuk tuk), the 100 baht you'll need to pay the Cambodian officials to be stamped in and out on the same day, the cost of getting to Mo Chit in the first place, and the cost of all the food/beer you're gonna want during the course of this wasted day.

Add it all up and you'll find that the cost for extending your visa at the immigration department is about the same. It's aslo a whole lot more convenient.

I would say that the Thais have got their pricing absolutely bang on.

California, that is a very strong accusation against someone  "perv". 

Dude, you're obviously a non-native speaker so I'll enlighten you a little. The words "pervert" and "perv" are often used as harmless colloquialisms and in a very informal sense their usage can even be complimentary.

Your suggestion that I think before posting such "insults" shows a distinct want of style. Everyone here is incognito and pseudonyms rule the day.

Do you honestly believe that there exists here in Bangkok a man whose real name is Dr Pat Pong?

Hey Bud dude, how's you doin' man.

I's a just checked out those fine pictures of you on that resume section of your website and I's in awe.

Sheeet man, I ain't kiddin' but I'd give a whole two and a half inches of my fine piece of California black snake just to look half as handsome as what you does.

Sheeet, you even looks better than my good friend Leroy Billybob Watson.

In reply to Tomy's question, I'm a Brit.

I personally used the services of a well known visa agent in Silom Road about a year ago. After reading all the horror stories on this website, I simply went down to the British Embassy, told them the truth, had my passport "impounded", got a new one a week later, went to the immigration department, had my visa transferred, and then........was given the choice of clearing a small overstay there and then (and paying 1,900 baht for an extension), or leaving the country at my leisure and getting a "proper" 60-day visa outside of Thailand for 1,000 baht. Surprise, surprise, I ended up having a nice little holiday in sunny Laos.

Simply put, my experience was very positive and I now have much respect for the fine, helpful and very courteous people down in Soi Suan Phlu.

What I would very much like to know is what is happening now to the Thais from Khao San Road who created this problem and who caused so much suffering to those who got stung. I read in the Bangkok Post that the agency issuing the "stamps" was raided a while back, but since then I've heard nothing.

That he has a mia noi so much younger than himself, but still interested in him is something I find quite pleasing.  Gives hope to us older guys. 

You're right, I am on the (very) shy side of forty. I also agree with most of what you say.

But I still think you're a perv.

Payne

Just to explain things a little more, I am 11 years older than my number one wife, and 44 years old than the mia noi. The number one wife is aware that I have a special friend in Thailand but it is never a topic for mutual discussion.

So let's see. If your little "mia noi" is 20, then you must be 64. And if she's 26 then you must 70.

You disgusting pervert.

The following text is part of the intro to Bud's website:

"ZGRAM offers yacht and boat deliveries via college degreed professionals using lap top computers....".

I trust there's no need to say anything further.

Orthelius

Nice reply dude. Intelligent, considered, heart-felt, and perhaps rather long.

Sadly, however, you're a little off the mark. Prostitution here in sunny Thailand seems to have less to do with rural poverty and poor education than you may think. It has a great deal more to do with laziness, peer pressure and a total absence of what we in the west call "morals".

I know of very many Thais who left school at Prathom 6 (ie, 12 years old) and Mattayom 3 (ie, 15 years old) who've gone on to achieve much. They've done it as a consequence of their enterprising nature and the fact that (contrary to what you may believe) very many opportunities do exist in Thailand outside of the sex industry.

If you are in any doubt about this, take a closer look at that nice little lady selling rice on the street corner. Odd as it may seem, she could be earning anything up to 30,000 baht a month. Perhaps she could earn more as bar girl, perhaps not. But one thing's for sure, she almost certainly ain't never gonna work as a whore because she's decent, hardworking, honest, respectable, clean etc etc etc. I could go on and give further examples but I can't be bothered.

Good luck to you if you do decide to move here. And by the way, I'm not an American.

Bud dude,

I've made a lot of joke postings to this site - Python / Comrade / Professor / Baron / California etc etc

In all cases (I hope) it was obvious in the extreme that what I was posting was complete nonsense.

What you're posting however is total rubbish - it's not remotely funny, relevant or intelligent

Sorry to say it dude - but you're a total prick
