issanpaul Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi all, Any mackems in Kumpawapi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eefoo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 After 29 views I just had to have a look why there were no replies. I see now: I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad97 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 According to the Wikipedia, a Makem is: "a term that refers to the accent, dialect and people of the Wearside area, or more specifically Sunderland, a city in North East England". Thank goodness I have no knowledge of Kumpawapi. Clearly nowhere near Surin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feffejonsson Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The last I heard the village chief´s wife Kumpawapi was seen aimlessly roaming the forrests of Matabeleland searching for a whole box of lost mackems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly nowhere near Surin! Thank you Nomad97 I thought it was just me! I spent 49years in England and never heard of the phrase. Mind you, I was on the right side of the Thames (only Joking,Paul) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsurin Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 They're a horrible breed of people, I've actually just been there this morning, impolite, ignorant @rseholes, with a sh*t football team, and a toe curling accent that really gets on peoples t*its. If you watch the premiership football on TRUE you might well know the place as Sunderland 0, as that is what is usually said in the scores round up. No wonder they have a huge chip on their shoulders. But I suppose getting branded as Geordies wherever they go really gets to them. John.....

eefoo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Great - that's translated half the question. I feel suitably enlightened now having learnt a new word for the day. I'm from Yorkshire, and I'd never heard the word. Now - does anyone have the slightest idea where Kumpawapi might be? Just out of interest, you understand, as it doesn't sound very Thai. BTW Paul, I would guess the answer to your question is 'No' ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Now - does anyone have the slightest idea where Kumpawapi might be? About 25Km south of Udon Thani I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Now - does anyone have the slightest idea where Kumpawapi might be? About 25Km south of Udon Thani I believe. Far west of Boise, I think. That said, believe the turnoff to the left, if you're headed south, is 35 km south of Udorn at the light. The main town is about 10 km down that road. Got friends who live off to the west at about km 45 a few klicks. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeMaiDee Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Now - does anyone have the slightest idea where Kumpawapi might be? About 25Km south of Udon Thani I believe. And quite a bit to the left heading south, great place for storing "Makems" long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsurin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The monkey's had better watch out if they were any people from Hartlepool there. For those not in the no. People from Hartlepool are known as monkey hangers, after they found a monkey from a sunken ship and promptly questioned it, hence the monkey didn't reply so they hung it believing it to be a spy. Ludicrous I know, but sadly true. John..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 after they found a monkey from a sunken ship and promptly questioned it, And that would be after they got the water out of it's lungs then. It's a legend that during the Napoleonic wars, the mascot of a French ship was hung for being a spy..... well, it was hairy, and French (took no prisoners then, not enough bananas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray23 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey thanks, Made me think of the monkeys, cute litle crittres biggest thieves I have ever seen. So decide to practise Thai wth auntie. Asked her if she wanted to see the monkeys in Kumpwapi. Couldn't remember how to say I was only practising Thai. We will be down in the next couple of weeks.

It's a legend that during the Napoleonic wars, the mascot of a French ship was hung for being a spy..... well, it was hairy, and French (took no prisoners then, not enough bananas) Saying as though the monkey was washed ashore and survived there was now reason to get the water out of it's lungs, besides I really don't think C.P.R. was practiced widely in napoleonic times. I was merely trying to inject a little bit of northern humor and insight about the north of England and it's people, as true as it maybe. I don't think I'll bother even trying to explain the smog monsters of Middlesborough. http://www.dur.ac.uk/s.a.collins/monkeyhang.html However anybody interested can look up the link above to find out about the monkey hangers.

You two have a lot in common..............you both stay in Soi Kola all night as well. Only difference is Thad makes it home on his own two feet.
