Crocs Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Seems like most people on this forum are from the UK? Is that true, is BKK becoming an English ghetto or is it more international than this forum suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penzman Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Looks like I'm the only Canadian in Los. Why is the service so slow at the Embassy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 penz re: slow service...probably has to do with all the queueing up at the government liquor store to pay for the rye whiskey and the cases of Molsons. I worked in the interior of BC near Prince George and Williams Lake about 30 years ago...you could score a bag of crystal meth easier than a case of beer... Crack of dawn in August with some mates and a case of beer relaxing by the side of the road in Prince George...looked up to see a bright red tunic and I knew we were in trouble. 'The public thoroughfare is not a beer hall...I'll have that box if you please...' The Mountie took our beer but we weren't busted so OK. The government liquor store and the hotel pub didn't open until 12 o'clock...oh woe was tutsi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocs Posted May 29, 2004 Author Share Posted May 29, 2004 Crocs, Europe is not just the UK. Huh? I've got a seperate category for UK and Europe - so I don't see a problem, amigo ?? In fact UK is in Europe, but it's too much of hassle to spell out "Continental Europe"... if ya know what I mean. If anything I should have included South America and Africa, but I figured most of them dudes already had great weather so wouldn't be heading for Thailand anyway.

thaigene2 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Penz..service is slow because of all the bloody new forms that we and our Thai family members have to fill out since 9/11 to keep the relatives of Tutsi, et al, happy. Never know when a Thai armed with a chill pepper might storm the cockpit of a Vancouver-bound plane and redirect the flight into the Seattle spaceneedle. Tutsi in BC they keep the Molson under lock and key only to make the Americans queue. They make the Yanks sign a waiver saying they can handle beer-alcohol content above 4%. But it isn't working. They still get you guys with the Bud hats staggering back and forth in front of the logging trucks..Know what I mean.eh, eh, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konangrit Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 How come Canada and the USA have seperate votes, but Britain and Ireland are shared? Anyway, I voted for Britain & Ireland, even if I am only from Britain and not Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocs Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 KonAngrit: A good question. Canada and USA are different countries. Britain (as in "Great Britain" and Ireland are also different countires, but both are included under the definition of "British Isles". Also, with under 5-MN people I thought the number of Irish in Thailand would be very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up2U Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 And if you're from Iceland? May be Scandinavian, but not European - at least when it comes to pub-night quizzes. (Where in Europe are the most volcanoes? Answer - Italy. Never!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleman_thai Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Eh Tony0703........... Maybe you want to check out your history and geography books.... thats if you ever made it to school!!! Irish are certainly NOT British.......... you may be right with the Scots and the Welsh - but they will not want to be associated with the English............... So get your facts right before I get the RA on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony0703 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 NO! You are wrong! You may have originated elsewhere! BUT so too did the Scots as Columbus originally found Scotland and he was from elsewhere too! However you are ALL BRITISH!!! So no need to get rude and condescending!

Tony, if you ever said this to the face of an Irishman or a Scott in a pub anywhere in the world, you'd get your bloody head bashed to a bloody pulp. Be warned. This is how serious they are about this issue. That is where the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
