Last time I was there I got thrown out for dropping a big apple tart. If I wash my syrup and wear my new whistle, they probably won't recognise me.

Allai wah?

Yep i know the nuclear sub your talking about, couple of right Ricky and Biancas who Kitchen Sink in there. They tried it on with my Duchess of Fife,so i tick-tocked the pair of em and ended up in the Boom and Mizzen with a bunch of bread and butters and some Fromage Frais. Not to forget the ice cream freezers.

I like this Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Translation

Yep i know the pub your talking about, couple of right &lt;deleted&gt; who drink in there. They tried it on with my wife,so i clocked the pair of em and ended up in the prison with a bunch of nutters and some gays. Not to forget the geezers.

That's cheating!

Well being from the West country where it is all oohhh arrrr missus wheres me combine arvester, and me trator keys, i dont know any cockney slang so i had to cheat.

Is there a website for West Country dialect and slang, I wonder? It's so much more appealing than Cockney.

We call this speaking "Tinglish" in my parts. I don't do it to other foreigners but many of my friends do and it annoys the crap out of me. How unfocused can one be not to notice the white face in your line of vision? 

that bit harsh yes?

Not harsh... am talking about one native- English speaker talking "Tinglish" to another native-English speaker. I find it weird! No offence meant

only my to joking right ... 'cos not good englit

Well, I tried. I am as dismal at humour as I am at interesting posts. I'm such a loser

While sbk is right to speak properly to hubby, I find that to many Thais I opt for rapid accurate understanding, rather than worry about teaching them properly. The rare times when I have repeated contact with someone, then I do make the effort to use good grammar, and to help correct theirs in a face safe manner.

Ah, but Khun Pandit, you speak Thai as well.

You know you've got Thai in your blood when you're home and say 'bai' to your mates when you're ready to go on to the next bar.
