I guess most of you, with one or two exceptions, might not know just how many years I have been reading posts on this Animal Farm.

 

Animal Farm, the book by Orwell, is an allegory.

 

But, the Farang Pub is not so much an allegory, as it is what it is.

The Farang Pub is what it is.

 

I enjoy reading all the comments on the Farang Pub, written by  Farang.

 

Yet, still, I enjoy reading what most of you have to say about so many things, even if most of you can't express yourselves, beautifully, using the English language.

 

Most of the guys here on the Farang Pub are poor writers, as even they must know.

 

Although, there are one or two, like Mr. C., who is are superior beings, here.

 

Oh, Yeah, ...

Speaking of the REAL "Animal Farm",.....

This allegory can be read at so many levels.

 

Orwell was a masterful writer, for sure.

If you were to read this book, once again, once you had reached my age, then...

Maybe you would know.

Animal Farm is an amazing piece of writing.

 

Snowball.

Napoleon.

The crows.

Old Major.

Clover.

BOXER, too, one horse I always felt sorry for.

 

Our Farang Pub is not much different, in my view.

 

There are those here for whom I feel much pity.

 

Life is so short, on Animal Farm.

 

Work yourselves to the bone, and then have nothing to show for it, if you buy into the propaganda, is what I think.

 

Satire makes the world go round.

 

I would suggest you read this very short piece, one more time, before you die.

 

Maybe, though, there are too many FARMERS on the Farang Pub, 

 

I really do not know.

 

How great is Orwell's masterpiece?

 

Don't ask boxer.

And don't ask anyone here on the Farang Pub, is my guess.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

 

 

Note: Fairies have never bothered me.....

 

 

Note2:  No.  I do not smoke weed, friends!

 

 

At some point, you will realise, that you are the trailblazer for posters that have escaped the "animal-farm". Keep it up.

Suggestion for your next thread: "Why do Thai Cows eat grass and I don't". Massive response assured, producing 5 pages of responses in no time at all.

Do you see yourself as a pig or a lesser animal then?

Truly, most Farang who wash up on the shores of Thailand are rather inferior, in so many ways.

What is wrong with you ? 

Do you think that you are better than Anyone? 

Do Not forget that it makes no difference  where one comes from Every one is Made the with the same Procedure ,,,, SEX,,,,,

Not everyone is a English Spoken/Writing person.

Stop insulting the people ,If you can't Shut Up and keep it for yourself to Dream about.

Gamma put the crack pipe down, do the forum a favour, and go boil you'r head....

He - or IT - isn't worth your time responding.

 

It'll go away ... eventually.

Even with this fool on my ignore list, i still get to see the stupid title!

Same with the other 2 idiots who pollute it with their dross.

 

Trio of inescapable morons.

"What is wrong with you ? "

 

You are not alone in asking that question.

Almost all of what he posts is simply bragging and boasting in various contrived ways.

 

He has found a place where he feels like a big fish in a small pond.

 

He is so desperate to build himself up it's pathetic.

 

He would be an object of pity if he wasn't so thoroughly, completely unlikeable.

 

Best yet GG.

Keep em coming.

Please stop thinking, just trying to make sense of that sentence gave me headache. What Propaganda? I only see yours.

While probably a d-bag, his general point is correct. About 70% of folks here (and I'll specify native English speaker) seem IMO Downs-level defective.

 

Not to mention the pathetic 2nd grade grammar mistakes (to,too.....of course/"Off course"....etc.etc.) I see in every thread.

Well, all farangs are equal....just some are more equal than others

Don’t rise to the bait guys, he is only trying to wind people up and probably laughs at your responses.

Mister Gamma GOBLIN

 

Are Garden Gnomes any relatives of yours?

 

Given you don't believe in fairies, how come you believe the one that lives in the sky?

 

Not only that: it talks to you!

It seems to be standard practice on forums that correcting grammar and spelling errors is not permitted.

This means that the low standard of literacy will be perpetuated, the author will never know that he is wrong and  the reader who knows no different will never learn either.

A brave new world of could of, should of and would of is already here and unlikely to disappear.

There are some good reasons not to have the Grammar Police on this forum

 

Many on here are not native English speakers - we can forgive them for not being entirely accurate.

 

Even native speakers do not use correct grammar at times.

 

Native speakers, including myself, make typing mistakes and without checking before posting lend themselves to be "corrected"

 

But the most important point is that if there is no mistaking the intention of the writer and matters are understood by their readers - no need to correct anything as there is no ambiguity.

 

It is annoying to be "corrected" when it makes no difference to the intended meaning.

 

I doubt there is anybody here for the purposes of improving their English!

As my post makes clear I realise all that.

The unintended effect is that low levels of literacy are maintained and enforced.

You missed out off of. These days it seems that even those who should know better, supposedly well educated in the King's English, journos and writers even academics, are prone to slip in an off of. Makes me wince every time I read or hear it.

Well you should know with your high level of intellect &  intelligence, you being a former brain surgeon and all 

 

As you mentioned in your other posts how you were a former academic and adviser to the government, you'd think that a man of your high standard would be advising this  forum on how it should be run.

Agreed, but too optimistic to think it’ll go away in (most) of our lifetimes.

Animal farts are a serious issue. All that methane. 🙄
