A New Phuket Support Group:wa

[huggybear]

Starting soon in Phuket will be a new support group, WA.

What WA stands for is wanke_r's Anonymous and it is for all of the expats here on the island with LT disease. That is an affliction from being here "longterm".

The wanking afflictions that will be discussed;

Bothering all of those around with constant complaining about day to day living in Thailand such as:

-Being overcharged because you are a foreigner

(sub-topic:bargirls overcharging because now you are old and smelly)

-too much ponchuluk in your food

-driving in Phuket

(sub-topic:our love for tuk-tuk drivers)

-all other foreigners around you being "complete idiots"

(sub-topic:psychological affliction of being the smartest person on the planet)

-Thais who are stupid

-Thais that don't understand what you are saying

-Thai women that are only after your money

-The Thai government

If you would like to attend, please dial 076-285-WANK, the first meeting will be held at The Beaver Bar (nobody can complain about that).

I will not attend as I do not suffer from LT disease and I keep my wanking to a minimum as I enjoy it here

This forum is really going downhill .... Nose picking, and now this ....... No doubt I will be shot down, yet again. But .....

A quick Get Well Soon message for you, hope that Sense of Humour Bypass operation wasn't too painful.

[LivinginKata]

Ok, knew I would be shot down, and that's Ok as I do have a sense of humour.

What I do not understand is why folks so so critical about our Thai hosts continue to stay here. Why don't you critics all p**s off if you can't accept the way it is. We will all be better off without you'all.

I stand by to review all the hate mail....

[phukethovercraft]

Well Well Well .....

But you have to admit that the CO has a good point.

I have always tried to look at things on the brighter side. Only been living in Thailand for a few years now and have learned a lot about the local expats habits. You would think that meeting someone from your own country you would have a lot in common regarding something to talk about without being misunderstood every sentence. Infarct most of the expats on this island despise other expats and striking up a friendship with one is very uncommon . Maybe I am wrong in some cases but on the whole it is a fact. I have been coming to Thailand for the last 15 years and know what I am talking about .

Most "not all" expats moan about everything and compare a lot of thing to there own country only when they don’t like it, and never praise the things they like.Thailand is a beautiful country with some of the best people in the world, you already now this right, as you would not live here. But it seems to me that this forum is a sort of a fighting ground for expats to have ago at each other. Someone posts a light hearted thread to give readers bit of a laugh and gets slaged off for it. Simple message to the people doing the slagging to the CO’ is meet face to face and then say what you think about there thread. No I do not think so. Same old story, if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut. If you want to say bad things to people don’t hide behind a computer to say it.

This message is not aimed at anyone in particular. And I what I write in this forum I would tell it to you face.

Nice Post HuggyBear its time for people to "WAKE UP"

That was funny!#$&

How about newbies that have just shook of initial culture shock cracking on that everybody who has been here longer than them (most of us) knows less than they do!

[Zpete]

I bin cummin' to Thailand, Phuket, Chalong 2 - 3 times ayear for last 4 years.

Love the diversity............ da tukka.

I lose weight every trip..........LOL Reason to stay.

Whingers amongst us expats etc.........

GO BACK FROM WHERE YA CAME

Yeah, we may get ripped off, happens to foreigner anywhere.

I love it here, always will.

Bear, good post mate.

[geriatrickid]

At least you didn't say the Tiger Bar or else you'd have people suggesting it's some sort of conspiracy to have them fall off bar stools and die.

I think you forgot a line about parking fee gripes. 10B or 20B is an awful lot of money to pay for a few hours of parking aint it?

Might the forum go uphill if you changed your moniker to "LivinginKathu"?

or maybe your posts would be more wild if you were "LivinginPatong"..............

just goofing mate, no offense intended

[dr_Pat_Pong]

I suspect ... just suspect mind you, that this thread is going to head for oblivion very soon.

[Ping]

Once again, LivinginKata, I agree with you 100%, but the OP is using a blatant troll thinly disguised as edgy sarcasm. If the OP is a newbie, I'll eat my hat. But that is about as much bait as I am willing to waste.

Whingers amongst US expats etc.........

Not to be pedantic but from what you wrote you seem to be a tourist and not an ex-pat!

"Any persons living or working outside of the country for which they hold a passport, for a period exceeding 6 months per Period of Cover".

Chiangmai I suspect he omitted a commer - it can be read two ways.

[viciouskitty74]

ok....my gripe.....we paid off some 'speeding' 'running red light' & another 'speeding' fine while on our way back from Northern Thailand just yesterday morning, afternoon & night.

The folks in the twin cab pick-up was all laughing and joking with the policemen, and my face was getting seriously black because where I come from. These issues are 'serious!' stuffs!

Am I dark or what?

Kitty - there is a plethora of material in the archives about 'face' (not your 'seriously black' one) - try the search button.

Thank you, Ping.

Commas, yes, very important lil things.

I did read it back and never realised the way it sounded.

Goes to show what using correct grammar, means.

I usually spend about half my year in Thailand, doing the odd side trips.

Not really an expat myself, but was using "US" for, tourists, expats, collectively.

Must take more care........LOL.

Gunna have to cut back this year, gotta have radiation treatment for prostate cancer.

I will be back, ASAP.

[Ping]

...and I should check my spelling. 'Commer' yet! Gawd...

[Zpete]

PMPL. Ping.

I bin in chat for ever so long, second nature to me understanding wot ppl say.

Our old MSN room, we had a regular group who posted, hopefully, perfect Engrish.

We had a ball. As ya know, lack of a comma is sometimes reason for much hilarity.

Chow, (lol) Matey

Well thought I might post a few pics on this thread, as half of the comments here have totally nothing to do with the Co's post.

Yes, you're quite right Hover - we've wandered well off topic (but it seems to have run its course).

Too bad. I'm a little disappointed.

When I originally posted I had visions of the Phuket Expat mob, with torches, (a la the original Frankenstein movie where all the villagers are coming after Frankenstein) chanting:

"KILL HUGGYBEAR", "HUGGYBEAR THE HERETIC", "HUGGYBEAR IMPREGNATED MY MAID!" ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

But oh well, not a lot of reactionaries. Maybe that's a good thing.

Lets get back to something really exciting like letting the one guy know where he can buy a monitor............

[viciouskitty74]

support group eh....

and most in this forum is farangs.....so where do farangs buy their size 12 shoes?
