There not called pencil dick for nothing.

That's a bit of wishful thinking on the part of farang men - and I know of what I speak

Sombat was charging 560bt for a CM-BKK trip last week.

While we´re on the subject of poor spelling and incorrect grammar, can´t we make it a rule on Thaivisa that at least native speakers know how to use apostrophes,

Pity the poor grocers

Just practicing my Irish accent in the mirror as we speak, anyone got any red hair dye?

Just go outside your house and start digging the road up....

I meant pertinent in that anyone who is not English, Welsh or under 40 will have any idea who he is.

The French p**s me off for a lot of reasons but mainly because they stopped the revolution at Calais. Typically French, come up with a brilliant idea and then keep it to themselves.

The French Premier Georges Clemenceau once said that 'England is a former colony gone horribly wrong'

An American lecturing an Englishman on satire. Whatever next!

No, it's not satire, it's just another whiney Jing thread. Can't you find some more rewarding way of filling your time?

As far as the tipping thing goes - it's probably something you'll have to live with. It's an ingrained US habit - much more so than in the UK.

Have you had training in Professional Victimhood or are you just a gifted amateur?

According to Wiki Sikhs started arriving in Thailand in the late 1800s.

Some Thais use it to refer to a gay man who acts girly, or who acts as a sissy.

There are the phrases 'Gay King' & 'Gay Queen' to denote who's doing what to who as well.

You've asked your questions - you've had all the advice that Thaivisa has to offer. The choice is now yours. Make sure the choice is from your heart. Chok dee!

In the UK we didn't have all the excitement of Stonewall. We had a civil servant called John Wolfenden chair a committee which wrote a report in 1957 saying poofery ought to be decriminalised. 10 years later we had an MP called Leo Abse (see my obituary post) who took a bill through Parliament which became the 1967 Sexual Offences Act which legalised sex between consenting males aged 21 and over in private. Not the complete dog's danglers but a good start. I can't imagine gay riots in the UK in the 60s. They'd ruin too many suede shoes

"The Public" will start agitating for 'proper broadband' shortly after they have 'proper medical care', 'proper social care' and 'proper democracy'. If your sole concern is a quick internet connection Japan or Taiwan may be more your style.

Heart of Darkness - Josef Conrad

It's a pity they don't have a bar like the one at DM with the microbrew beers.

A River Runs Through It - Norman Maclean

Do aircraft fly Great Circle routes or do they have to flit from beacon to beacon?

All of this social analysis... when it's likely that they just don't want to talk to you. This is a prime example of why they invented caller ID.

I'd prefer to wait and see whether there'll be a credible investigation or not. You may not want to bother.

I won't bother because its never going to happen.

So you admit to being a man with a closed mind? Shame on you.

You obviously didn't read my explanation.

What explanation was that? The explanation where you're unwilling to wait to see whether there's a credible explanation but would rather pursue your personal vendetta?

What can't the airports implement some sort of catapult system, similar to what is on an aircraft carrier to help get the aircraft up to speed.

Probably because paying passengers aren't willing to expose themselves to a 3G launch? You seem to be confusing people who've paid for a single flight with those who've signed up for a few years in the military.
