Recommended Posts

Posted

I was talking with Ron an ex london cabbie the owner of Buttys Cafe on the Naklua Road He said "i am pissed off with them calling me a hansum man , i am 69 , ugly as sin and am not a hansum man "

I concurred with Ron , mai pen rai ron ..

It's all very well to object to a compliment, but what are the alternatives?

Would Ron and others prefer being insulted? Actually the truth may hut even more!!!

Imagine walking down the street and having an observant individual ask "How are you you purile, ugly, obese, obnoctious, half witted pommie bastard?", or whatever the actual observations made lead one to.

If the choice was mine, I'd rather they lied a little (maybe a lot) and stuck to "hansome man".

There's always the basic 'Darling' which can be formed from 'Dah Ling' (or thereabouts) which can be translated as 'Monkey's Arse'.

Seems that ol' Ron needs some attitude adjustment. The little brown charmers are only asking him to stop in and spend a bit of money after all.

Do I detect a bit of that "glass half full, half empty" controversy?

A smile and a laugh back at them will do you some good, buster! :o

There's some honesty to be heard from the young ladies trying to usher you in though:

- hello pohm-pooi, hansum man...

- hello chang noi, hansum man...

- hello farang, hansum man...

etc...

we tend to block out that middle adjective, don't we?
