    Not being snarky Lou but how can you be sure of that, have you been round and interviewed them all.? I am including all the Indian restaurant owners in that. It does seem odd that so many Thai Indians would open up businesses in Pattaya in recent years.
  2. saintdomingo
    Well what did you end up paying and how was it.?

    You describe yourself as tolerant after you have said "self-important and arrogant Brits" about two total strangers. Doesn't sound tolerant to me, more like nasty and snidey.

    Chumphon only used to be for one day, probably still is. Phone a hotel there or tourist info.

    Again my statement was an ironic response to a daft question. Yes of course they have three different meanings they are three different phrases. Goodbye again all.

    Well thank you all for your responses,all I was actually looking for was to hear experiences of teaching English to classes of under sixteen years old. As I said, it was just curiosity which I will now have to learn to live with. Thanks again.

    Well this is a teaching forum. The thread is A Question for English Teachers. The first post asks a question beginning if you have taught in an English speaking country.................

    Other than that example I never noticed anything.

    I was being ironic, sorry about that.
  10. saintdomingo
    I was thinking the same. Without the must of bit.

    In my experience could of does not contract to anything, it is invariably fully and clearly pronounced. And could of when written is clearly meaningless to anyone with a basic understanding of English. It does not always indicate low literacy as the late ubonjoe, who was a prolific could of etc. man proved.

    The full point before the question mark comes from my earlier life as a compositor when we were trained in visual letter spacing. To my pedantic eye the question mark looks too close to the previous character so I insert the full point. Why would you think this is directed solely at English Teachers.?
  13. saintdomingo
    Just curiosity but if you have taught in an English speaking country are you required to correct people saying "could of, should of, would of" etc. How many have any understanding that this does not make sense.?

    My life does not revolve around AN.

    Or an attention addiction.

    You're quick on it Bob,I corrected it immediately.

    He's long since worn it out, he must see that himself. He must think that being an irritant is clever and amusing. I have only just realised he is back and can not be bothered reading the first 5 pages.

    Very unlikely.

    Well there you go, could have sworn it was Ekamai. Possibly getting it confused with Bourbon St. Only went there the once, shame they moved it was a nice little bar.

    I first arrived in 97 and was in Bobby's a few times, decent enough place and people. Not the same heavy drinkers and everything else lads that were in Jools at that time but alright. Only went in the Barbican once and didn't really take to it. O'Reillys was fine for it's happy hour but not really for the likes of us.

    Great little place, easy, relaxed, nice bar atmosphere. Then they went to Ekamai and started a "minimalist" place with the same name and zero else going for it.

    The wife's granddaughter was fascinated by it and asked for a roll to take home because "they didn't have one in their house". The wife's daughter is an aspiring social climber.

    But they only appear to be strengthened for your group, which has always got the run around. Same treatment as people on multiple short term visas who are trying to stay long term have frequently had the run around. Not necessarily breaking any rules because the rules are vague and subject to interpretation. For once I find a post of yours to be unsatisfactory and insubstantial, could you possibly give an example of that of which you speak.

    The people you are objecting to do not do extensions based on marriage. Neither do agents.
