GuestHouse Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 It's in my top ten of Thailand gripes - You know the ones, you forget about how annoying they are until it happens again.... and it always happens again. What am I talking about? News Paper Reports of Course. Those stories that are headlines on day one, might get mentioned on day two and then disappear completely.... as if they never happened. I'm not talking about stuff that's run its course, but stories that on day two the paper might, for example, report 'The Court Will Announce Its Verdict Tomorrow'. Then ... nothing....Never mentioned again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Jean Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Easy solution, don't read newspapers. They only give you a bad mood anyway. I never watch soaps either, i like my stories with a beginning, middle and end, like in a book or a movie. And if this is in your top ten of Thailand gripes, where do you live? In England?

The_Moog Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Those stories that are headlines on day one, might get mentioned on day two and then disappear completely.... as if they never happened. Um.... What's the first 3 letters of the word 'News'? I don't want to read any more about the Death of Princess Diana, or the burning of the Hindenburg.

Boon Mee Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Easy answer to this one: Just read the Sports section! Of course there's no guarantees you team didn't lose but what the heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling myself when I finally do relocate to the LOS, that I want to keep on smiling. I don't want to see the news in any form.

Mighty Mouse Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There is value in buying newspapers: To wrap up fish and chips. Toilet paper. To kill mosquitos. To hide pimples on your chin. To slam on the security guard's desk to wake him up. To make a sun hat. To create paper dolls. To wipe dog crap off your shoes. The list goes on................

britmaveric Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I concur - Newsies don't understand what "Follow-up" means!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmeriThai Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There's not much that's new in the news. It's usually the same old story, just a different chapter. Sometimes with a twist added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbojumbo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Be thankful for the non takeover of the two newspapers. If that would have happened, then they would have only good for wrapping fish etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmeriThai Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 That explains why the news seems a bit fishy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
