Lewie vs. Ratatouille: Bangers Street Footy, Score One Nil!

Featured Replies

Right Lads, so I'm up in Bangers for a few weeks again, yeah, changin' me wallpaper for a bit, as you do. You know the drill, shopping malls, markets, coffee shops, spa treatments, nothing cheeky though, never, of course not!

 

So there I am strollin’ me down one the popular sois the other afternoon, mind on autopilot, nothin’ new. Anyone who’s lived here knows the drill, big city Thailand, you get your fair share of sewer ninjas dartin’ about. Big sods too, not just your dainty pet-shop hamsters. We’re talkin’ chunky little buggers feedin’ off bin bags, poppin’ out the drains like they’re clockin’ in for a hockey match.

 

At this point, I don’t even blink. They ain’t after me, I ain’t after them. Mutual respect, yeah? They do their scurryin’ and rubbish divin', I do me strollin’, everyone’s proper happy. But this time, after nearly a lifetime in Siam, fate decided Lewie needed a bit of rodent slapstick.

 

Couple of ‘em shoot across the pavement and I don’t bother movin’ me eyes. Next thing I know, me right foot goes thunk. Thought I’d misstepped on a dodgy bit of footpath till I look down, only to see this fat arse rat doin’ somersaults across the pavement like it’s auditionin’ for the bloody Asean Games. I’d basically hoofed it mid-sprint without even tryin’.

 

Nearly went arse over tit meself, arms flappin’ like a drunk knob-packer tryin’ to catch a Tuk-Tuk on Khao San. Didn’t fall though, regained composure, carried on. The rat? Shocked but alive, scurries back into the drains, probably tellin’ all its rat mates about the clumsy farang who just tried out for Man United with its ribcage.

 

But the best bit, two young Thai birds, office types, comin’ the other way, right. They see the whole thing. Their faces go pure horror-movie, like I’ve just kicked their favorite Labubu across the street. One covers her mouth, the other freezes, proper Bambi eyes. I just flash ‘em me handsome-man cheeky grin like, “What? Happens all the time, darlins.” Kept on strollin’, no drama.

 

Glanced back a sec later, and sure enough, they’d gone from petrified to gigglin’ behind their hands, that nervous sort of laugh like, “Did we really just see that big white oaf do all that?”

 

And that’s the land of smiles, innit. One minute you’re mindin’ your own, next minute you’re playin’ five-a-side with the local wildlife. Didn’t score a proper goal, but I’ll take the assist.

Summary

 

While spending time in Bangkok, the narrator was strolling down a busy soi when a couple of large rats darted across the pavement. By chance, he accidentally kicked one mid-sprint, sending it tumbling. He nearly lost his balance himself but recovered quickly. The rat survived and scurried off, but two nearby office workers looked horrified, as if he’d just committed a crime. The narrator brushed it off with a grin and kept walking, treating it as just another Bangkok moment.

Cool story, bro. 

Better this time, Lewie, but still not up to Louie 1.0

Enjoyable, but no good laughs today.

Looking forward to the next one.

How nice of you Mike. You´ve taken it on yourself to summarize all his threads and initial posts. You can´t have much to do, right? Boring life?

They make better reading than both the original OP and your posts!

Yeah, because you have no respect for people´s way of expressing themselves.

It´s sad actually. He is just trying to make funny and lighthearted threads and posts. Actually, makes this forum a bit more positive.

Some dont appreciate the use of AI to write the post.

Sure, but give him some credit. He has actually put in a "me" and edited after AI gave the story. Also, I don´t think they are written by AI, as I work in that area every single day. Do you?

It takes two seconds with AI.   But, I’m  sure you don’t understand the use of productivity tools.

Good candidate for Poser of the Year. Not a spelling mistake.

Tight contest along with the two GG's.

And just as boring.

A load of B.S. by both of them.

These same posters complain about Lewie's stories every time he posts them.

Why? Everyone knows they are AI creations. You aren't alerting the world to some mystery. Do you think you are a hero in a red cape protecting us from being fooled?

Smart people do NOT continue to read stories they don't like.

 

Real question: Why, if you don't like his stories, do you keep reading them? And please, don't tell us that you don't read them. Complaining about them without reading would make you look even more ridiculous!

Well I didn't and have always commented positively about Lewie's unique style. Maybe I should hand my opus over to ChatGPT?

Ok, so if I have another opinion than you, then the one I think don´t deserve you to ridicule him every day must be my gay lover????

You have some serious issues, man. Deal with them. Go see a specialist. Can´t be easy to live with so many delusions and built-up anger. My recommendation for you is to let it out, once and for all. Make yourself free.

I admire your willingness to admit that. Surprised, certainly, but it does teach me more about AI's ability to fool people.

Sure, I don´t. Like I said I work with them every day. Mike, you are simply not sure about anything. Just dealing with a lot of made-up stories in your fantasy world.

So how can you tell?  I am a professional author (not very successful in Thailand); should I use AI to re-write my books?  I use ChatGPT to translate submissions into Thai (tho' I am still ignored.)

Do I understand correctly that you use a program that starts off by saying, 'My answers may be completely wrong,' to translate submissions?

 

Do you have them proofread by an educated Thai before you submit them? That might be a beneficial first step.
