August 16, 2025Aug 16 Popular Post You think this site is bad try Quora. Endless dumb stupid anti British questions. Why do the British spell Realize incorrectly. Because in English is realise so we spell it correctly. Why did the British name a town in Lincolnshire after Boston Massachusetts. Why did the British name a city in the North of England after New York. Why is there no cultural history in Britain. Why did Britain adopt the US Harrier jet. Now if it is a wind up it is rather tiresome. Probably just sheer ignorance. I like to think it is a wind up and that Americans aren't that stupid.

Who they are physically attracted to and who they choose to be with are not the same thing. I was just pointing out that many women are physically attracted to older men. Note I used the word "older", not "old men"... that could be someone as young as 40s.

If you spend your life in Pattaya, you're not exactly going to see the best of any country... Don't get me wrong. There are reasons for less seedy Brits to live in Pattaya - lots of English spoken and on the menus. Decent choice of food, cheaper than Bangkok, and some nice beaches. But it's where the seedy sort seem to flock to.
August 18, 2025Aug 18 Popular Post I'm British, and proud of it. However, there are times, sometimes on a daily basis, when I feel extremely embarrassed by the actions of my fellow countrymen. When the members of the "Anti-British Brigade" wake-up, and realise that some of their own fellow countrymen leave a lot to be desired, maybe they can give an honest appraisal of their own shortcomings. I'll not hold my breath for any honest answers.

You are made what you are by a lot of factors...... including culture, upbringing, education etc. Pride does not need to develop into conflict. Until the recent spat with Cambodia I could have cited Thailand as a country where national pride is cherished and doesn't spin into conflict. I am what I am .......I am British. That is a fact - not a label.

You see, most Thai women are are happy enough with Thai men, mostly from family pressure or just simply what's comfortable for them to deal with regarding language and proximity with school/work/hobbies. However, with the foreign element I have noticed in my two+ decades of experience in Thailand that English guys, after Thai guys, have often been the ones who have the put the least amount of effort with the women (meaning real attraction). Even some guys from there who are basically bums seem to do better that the vast majority of other groups, and then you have the younger ones who are passing through, doing remote work or doing a Muay Thai camp often get women who end up simping for them, similar to the local Thai men who are desirable. It's a mix of looks and energy and can't be taught. The best thing is not to hate. Just accept these desirable Thai men and younger English guys are going to be banging the women you want and keep it moving if you're not actually attractive to women. That can vary in different locations, but in Thailand that is who I have seen having REAL attraction from women. You may have been here in Thailand for 20 odd years but 20 of the same years knowledge and observations.
August 18, 2025Aug 18 It’s nothing to do with the men , attractive /rich/ young/ , Thai women will always choose a rich Thai man over a rich foreigner. As for all the idiots who turn up in Pattaya or Phuket , it’s because they’ve heard of all the hookers, cannabis , bars and clubs, they come for the Thai reputation. No point in them going to Malaysia or Bali is there.

Truth is that life in Australia nowadays is a far more attractive proposition than the UK. For many, if not most here, Thailand is even better. Reasons for British Expulsions of Criminals to Australia Overcrowded Prisons in Britain By the late 18th century, Britain faced a crisis of prison overcrowding due to rising crime, poverty, and harsh laws (many petty crimes were punishable by imprisonment). Old ships known as “hulks” were being used as makeshift prisons on the Thames, but conditions were horrific. Loss of the American Colonies Before the American Revolution (1775–1783), Britain sent many convicts to North America. After independence, Britain needed a new destination for transporting criminals. Desire to Expand the Empire Establishing a settlement in Australia helped Britain secure territory in the Pacific, especially with France showing interest in the region. Convict transportation doubled as colonization. Belief in Rehabilitation Through Labor Transportation was seen as a way to reform criminals by removing them from old environments and making them work productively in a new land. It also acted as a deterrent for crime back in Britain. Results of the Policy Establishment of Australia as a Colony The First Fleet arrived in 1788 at Botany Bay (later Sydney). Australia became both a penal colony and the foundation of a new British settlement. Harsh Conditions for Convicts Many transported convicts endured brutal voyages, disease, forced labor, and strict discipline. However, some were able to gain freedom, own land, and build new lives after serving their sentences. Dispossession of Indigenous Australians The arrival of British settlers (including convicts) led to the dispossession, violence, and decline of Aboriginal populations due to disease, conflict, and loss of land. Economic Development Convict labor built infrastructure—roads, buildings, farms, and ports—that laid the foundation for Australia’s economy. Free settlers later followed, attracted by land and opportunity. End of Transportation Transportation to New South Wales was officially abolished in 1840, though it continued in other colonies (like Western Australia) until 1868. By then, Australia had begun shifting from a penal colony to a society of free settlers. ✅ In summary: Britain transported criminals to Australia because of prison overcrowding, the loss of America as a destination, and a desire to expand empire. The result was the founding of modern Australia, major impacts on Indigenous peoples, and the transformation of a penal settlement into a prosperous colony. Would you like me to make this into a short exam-style answer (bullet points, concise) or a longer essay-style explanation with more detail and examples?

Australians are a lot more cosmopolitan than people think. 33% claim English ancestry. Scots and Irish are about 9% each, so nearly 50% of us are not from the British Isles, either as convicts or as carpetbaggers. We have a rich infusion of Greeks, Italians, Chinese and Vietnamese. Some Middle East groups. Personally, my ancestry is Danish, French, and Scots.
