nidge Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi Peoples, I have just found out that i have to go to the UK for 3-5 days to renew my visa for work. Although i would rather have fresh chilli juice rubbed into my eyeballs than go to England unfortunately i have no choice. Now i have to think about what to do while i am there. If you are a brit and have lived in thailand for some time, what would you chose to do if you were there for such a short time? Other than sit infront of the fire trying to get warm!

bkkmadness Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 You're back with the family for a few days, sounds perfect. Eat all your favourite Brit foods, visit the mates down the pub, and most important catch up with your parents coz I'm sure they miss you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nidge Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Favourite Brit foods? Perhaps i have been 'native' for too long but last time i was forced to go back to the UK i found that food was tastless. Until i got a jar of crushed chillis of course. Aniseed rock - no problem, how much do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a list...NOW Enjoy all the foods,books,drinks you crave for. Watch TV/Cinema ,meet and talk......in other words immerse yourself in what you want to do ! On the outward ,flight , spend a little time planning what you want to take back to LOS. It will help concentrate your mind on waht you really want to do over here ! Good Luck & Safe journey Wiley Coyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got no favourite Brit foods, not a pack of Jaffa cakes, not a nice lamb roast, not a sausage roll freshly baked at the bakery? You're coming across as a real 'the glass is half empty' kind of guy Nidge. Come on man, 3 days, it's not enough really. I'd be jumping at the chance for a few days with the family and friends. And that's in Dagenham! Brighton, by the sea in July, lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's in Dagenham! Brighton, by the sea in July, lovely. Sorry for sounding so miserable, i know my glass is normally overflowing and it will only temporaraly be half full. But i left UK because i didn't like it, not because i wanted a change of scenery for a bit. Anyway, a post of yours in another topic has given me some inspiration. I am now looking forward to a sandwich with warburtons bread. Probably Picled beetroot and salad cream. Aroi mak Jaffa cakes are awesome, especially if you save the orangy bit till last, but you can buy them all over the place, no need to go to uk.

wileycoyote Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Have you considered a career in politics ? A 3 day stay,might qualify you for a leading position in any of the major parties ,Labour,Conservative or Liberal They are all looking for "new blood" . And it would be doubtful that you would be able to sell honours,become an alcoholic,do insider trading ,have affairs with women/men/domestic animals within that short period. Therefore you may well find yourself would eligible for office ! Te-hee Wiley Coyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Taco Loco Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Walk down Western Road and eat Indian food. I used to enjoy walking that long boardwalk from way before the broken pier upto the Brighton Pier. I was based out of Eastbourne, but always enjoyed Brighton. Eat some Bassetts Allsorts while there!

What sort of domestic animals do you know? I thought it took at least a week unless you count leg humping and belly rubs. Do politicians pay taxes? I'll consider it if the answers no.

eek Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 See if you can grab yourself a bit of fat ass farang why your out here! why grab a "bit of fat ass farang" in the UK when there are plenty fat ass, flabby assed, beer-bellied men in Thailand he can choose from here already? Yeh, anyway.. - Definately catch up with the family and friends! - Take a suitcase of full of things from here, tale back a suitcased full of things from there. - Arrange for a family bbq? COok some proper thai food also and have cultural mix of foods. - Take lots of photos. - Even if reminded about things you dont like, rather than like, be curtious and respectful. Dont be an expat ass! - Eat, drink and be merry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
