Thongkorn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 " Before the . Sauce of information people start. having been a member of Thai visa forum for a few years, I have read and replied to some reports even daring to post some what i thought, was thought provoking stories, because you see some real good stories , like need a suite, where can i by a tin of beans whats the number of a taxi company,But what stands out is that too many people are serious, and don't seam to See the funny side of life, There has been a study about grumpy old men done , the findings are that the ones that get out of bed with a saw head, and are always pedantic and grumpy , live longer , So there is now a new train of thought, it is "Wipe that smile off your face Happiness kills, Does this apply to Thai visa or is it just me , let it begin.. only joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario299 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have to agree, I like a little humor but if it's going to kill me, then......... You're right, though, many people that post are far too serious. Recently one person said in jest "chill out, dude, you're too serious", and I thought the keyboard fisticuffs were going to fly! (There's a mental image for you). On the other hand, many times the answers you get from a question seem to want to be put-downs or "I'm lots smarter than you" answers. Gets a little frustrating sometimes, so maybe it is better to growl and be in a bad mood and live longer.? mario299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1fanatic Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 OK. We're all convinced that you're a laugh a minute, whilst the rest of us are just boring. Or then again it could just be that few topics lend themselves to humour, especially when posters take a position with which we may disagree.

Moonrakers Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 There's been a few threads lately of people claiming that some posters don't take things serious enough. If they had their way, reading this forum would be akin to reading the yellow pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidSL Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think it's easy to think that people on here don't have a sense of humour. This is a place a lot of us come either on our down time or when we're just plain bored. It's also easy to be misunderstood on a forum where misunderstandings have little chance of being resolved. I haven't been around here that long, but I've seen some pretty nasty replies to very decent threads, and I've seen people here make jokes or innuendo about threads where someone is talking about a serious issue with their spouse. The fact is that Thailand, and this forum, attracts a large percentage of people who realise they get away with more here than they do at home - this ego-boost is multiplied ten-fold with the anonymity of the Internet. I would counter, though, that if you have such a free-thinking, care free and humour-filled approach to life, why waste your time worrying about the actions of others on an Internet forum? It really isn't important - just see this forum for how it is: sometimes helpful, sometimes fun, and always entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) OK. We're all convinced that you're a laugh a minute, whilst the rest of us are just boring. Or then again it could just be that few topics lend themselves to humour, especially when posters take a position with which we may disagree. You are joking, aren't you? From time to time there are topics where it might be inappropriate to post any but the most saccharin yet tasteful cheer-up wit, but if you're not willing to put in the effort to drag a laugh out of the most asinine or morose posters on here, then really, you cannot blame the other posters for your laziness. To be honest, I feel guilty - inadequate, even, at being unable to draw more humour from your ongoing romance with Sarahsbloke, but your post above has given me the motivation I needed, and I realise, I should try harder. More trying, I think, is the correct turn of phrase SC Edited May 23, 2011 by metisdead Do not modify someone else's post in your quoted reply, either with font or color changes, added emoticons, or altered wording.

StreetCowboy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Everybody should be made to drink at least 5 pints of lager before posting. That should make it more interesting. Reminds me of the great Kilkenny drought of 2008. For weeks on end we had nothing to drink but lager and stout. I find that once I get to about six, the last few patient posters give up trying to understand my wit, at about eight, I can't follow it myself when I re-read the next day, and I can only assume that most of my posts after nine pints are forgeries posted by someone else SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
