Andrew Dwyer Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The problem being that the Thai celery market has been under the control of high ranking officers for some time. I should know as I have lived here for 30 years,know Thai,Khmer,Swahili and Lilliputian and live in a 'uge mansion with a gorgeous hiso wife who loves me to death... Is that the sort of digression that you may be referring to,Andrew? Exactly Ody !! Sometimes the posters desires to make others aware that they have been here a long long time, speak Thai better than most Thai’s and are experts on every subject under the sun makes them unaware that the thread they are posting in is about the price of fish or some other mundane subject !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Started loads and for the most part have got answers or in some cases a few giggles. Posting is sometimes a good way of unloading it mentally and making light/sense of it. Had a fair few tech related queries of late and some have been helpful some are still not solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: nevertheless I'll continue to post new topics when I think it's appropriate. Yes most posters are mere sheep and can only reply to the fodder fed to them. GOOD POINT!

I just ignore the stupid replies and reply / read the ones that do make sense. Plenty of good members around, plenty of nutcases too but they can be entertaining at times.

473geo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Once - a poor excuse for a topic it was The true reason being, I wanted to try the process just in case I felt the need to start a serious topic. I occasionally throw a half relevant question into a thread if I have the attention of the people I think can offer a valuable response. I enjoy input/responding but seldom feel the need to reach out beyond the topics and advice already available No problem with new, or even repeat topics, especially those submitted for entertainment, easy to identify before you participate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Quite often I prepare a comment in a thread, and then I think again about the conversation I am about to get involved in, and the people I’ll be talking to, and I carefully delete my text and backtrack, staying as far away as I can from the Post button, just in case.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimo Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Over the many years, I've posted a couple of dozen, at times when something interesting happened that I wanted to share, too much going on for more.
