Sick Boy Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I'm constantly spotting little gems of dodgy diction and so I'd thought I'd share some of them with you. It never ceases to amaze me why the perp responsible for these never thought to ask, "Excuse me farang, does this look Ok to you?" This first one must have been run off in the thousands and at considerable cost. This was on the cover of a well known medical supplies diary. Beautifully bound, A4 sized, gilt edged, executive stuff any CEO would be proud to own. Obviously a great deal of thought had gone in to the impressive graphics adorning the cover and underneath in big, bold font were the words: "With 3M dental products any amazing beautiful can be happened to your patients" Priceless! I always remember reading from a menu in....Chiang Mai, I think it was, the appetising words: "Omelette with stuff" Oh well there's a couple for now. I bang some more up later, if you want. Later.

A popular hotel in Pratunam ran an ad in the Bangkok Post offering: 500 Baht per night + free breakfast with 2 Americans This promotion has now, sadly, been withdrawn.

Sick Boy Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 If you're from Edinburgh like your namesake I'd say 'gie bile yer heid'... Aghh! I've been rumbled! Ah no ken aloat aboot Edinburgh, likesay. Ah ken some radge Weedgie gadges though. Many a fine Scotsman out there. I, however, am not one of them. I'm as English as The Dog's <deleted> mate. Yer man Irvine Welsh has had a profound effect on this radge. Read "Glue" and then "Porno" if you haven't already. Obviously one must have read "Trainspotting" first. Later, Tutsiwarrior. Nice one.
