it seems with the reopening of the borders and the liberalization of weed, Thailand is now attracting a brand new market. The Magaluf scally.

 

I was out and about yesterday at a famous tourist destination and two shirtless cockney chavs sat next to me. The type of lads who look like they would glass you for no reason. one looked like he just had his nose busted, probably got into a scrap the night before. both were heavily tattooed and looked like ex army lads.

 

they were mostly talking about birds and drugs. i got a real bad vibe from them so i paid my bill, got up and left.

 

its kinda sad to see these kinds of people coming to Thailand, they never really bothered before and were mostly confined to magaluf/benidorm.

I know that pattaya and phuket has these kinds of white trash floating around in the gutter but not usually the kinda places i frequent.

they were loud, brash and cocky as they come.

 

I hope they go home soon.

Why did you think they were ex Army lads?

Guilty by their looks then bob... not really fair is it not?

it was there behavior that made me pay up and move on, not their looks...

"I know that pattaya and phuket has these kinds of white trash knocking about in the gutter but not usually the kinda places i frequent".

 

A tad arrogant wouldn't you say Bob?

 

It takes all kinds to make a mix, who are we to say that one or another shouldn't be here. Darwinism has a way of sorting out such problems, as do some of the locals.

Nah, just his opinion based upon his life experience, you know stealing an old falangs hooker and then complaining she wanted money.  He has learned to judge correctly after his experiences it seems...

The daughter of Menoeceus, of course, later wife of Oedipus, as in Oedipus complex.

There is a website called Quora. There is a very funny chap called Ian Lang who posts on it. He has a whole slew of imaginary characters he writes about, including Sebastian and Jocasta, a millennial couple from West London.

How do you know he is still in bed?

I doubt if young people from the London area are interested in joining the British Army .

Most recruits are from deprived areas in the UK . London area is not considered a deprived area

Who told you this?

I served with enough people from the London regions to tell you that you have been ill informed.

British soldiers come from all walks of life in equal numbers.

 

 

 

Pattaya has been full of tattooed guys for years. Another two won't matter.

Talking of facts:

 

"In the latest financial year (12 months ending 31 March 2021), for the Royal Navy/Royal Marines, the region with the largest number of intake was South West with 550 personnel while the parliamentary constituency with the largest number of intake was Gosport with 40 personnel. For the Army, the region with the largest number of intake was South East with 1,360 personnel while the parliamentary constituency with the largest number of intake was Richmond (Yorks) with 60 personnel. For the RAF, the region with the largest number of intake was South West with 280 personnel while the parliamentary constituency with the largest number of intake was Sleaford and North Hykeham with 30 personnel."

Aggressive,loud, drunk farangs don't fare well in this country.

I hope they bu&&er off back to Blighty soon.

The Thai chav is even more feral (given the right circumstances)

If the two meet..good luck to the English one.

Care to share you sources?

 

Maybe you can also advise me of your definition of deprived areas and which areas of the UK you consider as deprived?

A better answer is that different regiments recruit from different areas, as the attached explains.

When I was in Army you could pretty much tell a soldier by the haircut, there was only really Skinheads who had the short hair, the only time we could grow a bit of hair was when we were deployed to NI, which I was on 2 occasions.

I was in the 4/7th RDG's based in Omagh in 66/67, interesting times, beat the h_ll out of Catterick.

What's wrong with Cockney's, any loud people can be annoying.
