Perusing as is my habit the replies since my last visit topics I chanced upon 'Are Isaan farmers Poor' and thinking it might be interesting clicked on it and proceeded to read. After about fifteen minutes, because it was a long thread I was really into it and learning some incredibly interesting ways of looking at the topic. I noted too the great discipline with which the posters restricted themselves to the pithy, heart of their point. A disicpline sadly lacking in threads I have myself contributed to. After a while I began to have some misgivings and checked the source posting rather than working backwards through the postings. I found I had been reading the three words story for the last half hour.

Now, to my surprise and pleasure I rechecked what I had read and found in no way did it diminish my new understanding of the position of the poor Isaan farmer, indeed I found that I had come to my own ideas on the subject as a result of wrestling with the seeming inconsistencies in the thread.

So I returned to the menu where I found that after some study it was quite possible to make an entirely sound posting on the subject of "Dealing with my cats fleas" in the animals, plants and pets section, under the property sellers in Hua Hin thread. Where I had posted "Once in your home its difficult to get the buggers out again and if they get their teeth into you you wont sleep nights" later posters had praised my sound advice for dealing with the tenacious property agent. One went so far as to say that they had tried squirting pesticide at them as I advised and it was the only tactic that got them out of the house! A triumph for me. I found it liberating to be able to post my own predjudices and ramblings on a particular thread as if I were writing on the one above it in "Posts since your last visit" I think for all those bored posters who are out there it may provide a little light relief and diversion. It has the same effect for me as driving while looking through binoculars on the motorway; an element of excitement and danger makes the time go much more enjoyably. I just hope you dont meet me coming the other way. hahahahahaah

Anyone who has read any of my posts will know that they are sometimes incomprehensible. I suggest in future you merely apply them to another topic close by and they will make perfect sense.

I've often seen you driving Ratchabuild. I've got a big moon-colored balloon with which I float around at night. Sometimes I'll see you driving along looking through your binoculars but for some reason you never look up with them. The next time you are driving around naked at night look up in the sky and you might just see me there among the owls and bats.

Toadstooling are we?...
