Well lads, here we go again. Another day in paradise and another fellow countryman making the rest of us geezers look like prize plonkers.
 

This time it is some helmet wearing muppet in Pattaya who thought it would be a grand idea to play chicken with a rescue ambulance at four in the morning. Lights flashing, siren wailing, trying to get some poor sod to hospital, and our man’s response? Zigzag in front of it like he is auditioning for "The Fast and the Farangulous".

 

Apparently the siren “startled him”. Yeah, right mate, that is what they do. They are loud for a reason, so people get out the way, not weave in and out like you are delivering a weed order on Khao San Road at midnight. Then, as if that is not enough, he flips the ambulance the bird, then clips another bike as the mug tries to leg it.

 

Now I have been here long enough to know that every nationality produces its fair share of numpties, but I swear mates, the British contingent in Pattaya has some kind of special, highly potent talent for it. They just cannot help themselves. Give them a scooter, a bit of Chang, and the cover of night and it is like lighting the blue touch paper. You just know something idiotic is about to happen.

 

And here is the kicker. Every time one of these clowns gets nicked, they always seem baffled that the police do not find it funny. Like it is all one big cheeky holiday prank. Sorry mate, when you block an ambulance carrying someone who might actually be dying, that is not “banter”, that is being a complete weapons-grade pillock.

 

So cheers Paul Dennis Holloway, for reminding the locals exactly why us Brits get side-eye in 7-Elevens. You have single-handedly kept the stereotype alive for at least another week.

This was covered in the Thai news section. As this is discussing a more general opinion, both topics are OK.

 

 

I think all these Brits are just trying to get an anecdote for their intros when they are contestants on Only Connect.

Anyone with this opening gambit is usually a prize plonker themselves.
