samuibeachcomber Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Perhaps the British government could try a BOGOF ("buy one, get one free") strategy.We give Taksin back if Thailand agrees to take Gary Glitter ! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 If I end up sitting next to a drunken Dutchmen I will change bars. Too bad, because when we are drunk we might even give you a beer, what we of course would never so when sober. It feels great to be bashed, it means that at least people are noticing us. Not a small achievement for the citizens of a small nation. In Australia there seems to be a proverb: There is only one good Englishman, and that is an Englishman who goes home, and takes two Dutchmen with him.

harleyclarkey Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Just practicing my Irish accent in the mirror as we speak, anyone got any red hair dye? Just go outside your house and start digging the road up.... Now, now!! A modern Irish person is more likely to go out and get their "clean suit" on to make micro chips or pharmaceuticals, rather than a shovel. Anyway...why did it take so long for the Irishman to clean the windows of the bungalow? It took a week to dig the trench to put his ladder up!! We can, and do, laugh at ourselves. Especially these days as we have given our shovels and picks to the Eastern Europeans who have done a grand job here!!

Quero Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I just read on a different forum that an American was beaten by about ten Thais near the bridge at the north end of Phuket when he stopped to assist a motorcyclist who had crashed. Anybody hear of this? Is there truth to this rumour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Turn Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I am in Phuket and there are definitely no mobs I or any of my friends here have heard of. The closure of the airport and total absence of business is the main concern here, believe me.It would be very useful if you could give a little bit more information than just hearsay. Normally i would not post this kind of comment, but i had two Thais who where very worried about my safety as they where reading this from the news on the TV....... And i posted to warn people incase that someone did come up to them and ask this question, at least they will be prepared I really hope those this will not happen, as it would affect the tourism alot We are Thailand, not Rwanda ! It does seem that there is some foment in Thailand at the moment. Perhaps these reports are exaggerated. Maybe not. It's easy to tell people you are from a different country than you are really, from. I remember the US publicly backing Thaksin during the 2006 Coup. I was disappointed that the US would publicly make statements about something that I consider to be a Thai domestic political issue. I wonder where the US stands? I'm off to google.

Is there truth to this rumour? I have heard nothing but I have heard loads of related rumours about this and that, Brits supposedly being targeted, we're all in danger, etc etc and I reckon it's high time folks got a grip and stopped quoting rumours.

Boater Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 How pathetic, what a sad mentality to have...Well, since this is not really happening (the mobbing that is), I presume you refer to the OP for spreading these vicious rumours? As mentioned before, it was a warning passed to me that was taken from the THAI TV........... Not from 1 source, but from 2 sources of well eductated Thai's who where worried about my Saftey Ok, there has not been any obvious Mob meetings ( even those 2 or 3 HAVE appeared in this thread and the other ) Also to note, it was also mentioned about the UK Harbouring Thaksin, ( maybe i used the wrong words in the begining ) But as mentioned before, better to be safe then sorry, and i thank all who have PM me to show support, as i was only trying to assist....... next time i get such a warning, i shall keep it to myself, regardless of source or anything like that.... But just remember, such warnings in the past have saved peoples lives...

fiddlehead Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I overheard a Thai person telling a farang today that they are going to start boycotting Tesco Lotus because it's British owned. But then i drove past Tesco and the parking lot was packed. Sounds like a lot of talk but that's all it seems to be so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
