@BarBoy that was a great idea for a topic here.

Good fun for a lazy Sunday.

No problem mate.

 

Plenty more where that (this) came from.

 

The things I see / witness daily will keep you all entertained going forward I'm sure 🙂

    To be fair, apart from tourism money, most Thais don't want any foreigners in Thailand.

Any takers???

Russiians speak better English than the Brits ??

 

They have the advantage of having learned basic phrases as a foreign language. The Brits in Thailand mostly speak dialects such a Geordie or Brummie, filled with barbarous local idioms, nearly incomprehensible to non-dialect speakers. Fatuously proud of it, too, refuse to speak "posh," even if they could, as a matter of low class distinction.

 

Over a couple of decades, I did encounter one Brit who spoke Received Pronunciation. He was an Oxford grad, however. Extraordinarily rare, no?

Smart move by the American People.

 

The western world is about to regain some sense of sanity after being poisoned by the leftist, wokey ideology.

 

And Mr. Vlad over there freezing in the snow is about to get a severe kick square in the nuts!!

Vlad has it over Trumpy. 
He has a tape of Trump getting urinated on by a couple of Russian hookers apparently.

It was a simple Yes No poll, just like the Brexit vote.

 

What about that don't you get?

 

If you don't care then don't vote.

 

Simple.

Because I can care less about what foreign nationals are in this country and thought you should know.

No. There’s something wrong with the op and the question is of yours to answer about yourself.

For the next 4 years when someone asks me why I'm from, I will say Canada. I hail out of Regina!

The world needs Trump, mike.

 

No matter how many stains on his character he is the best out of a horrible bunch. KH would have been an absolute disaster for the current world we live in.

They should be back home on the frontlines in the snow, fighting a war which they started.

Perhaps they have done their required one year of military service.

Did you read my OP?

I did.   You cited one alleged example of one mother, that's all, and there is no confirmation that your improbable-sounding tale was true and unembellished.

Why are they sunning themselves on Thai beaches?
