smokie36 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I was speaking to my gf this morning on the phone and asked her what she was doing (she is visiting the UK at the moment). She replied that she was watching a TV show in which a farang woman was conning old men out of their money. Her comment was that she was far more vicious about it than Thai women. Food for thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Does she recommend the softly softly approach as being more effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 I don't intend this as a bashing thread by the way. Focus on the angle of perception. I did find it amusing...at least the Thai will tickle your belly as they snatch your life savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Perhaps you should find out what show she was watching. Might be a good idea to find out the tactics used, so you can recognize it if she ever decided to try it out. Just saying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblether Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 That Jeremy Kyle Show has a lot to answer for!! ( for those that don't know it's the UK version of the Jerry Springer Show ). Aye it's some advert for the UK that, but for some people it's a true representation of their life. Ho hum, don't worry Smokie, you can show her the glorious Highlands and beautiful Edinburgh, just don't let her watch Trainspotting though. She would flee the country and never come back :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneliane Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Nothing to do with Thai/farang issue Conning men in dramas is very common and has been done times and times Obviously script writers have to come up with more elaborate stuffs. Has someone ever told your GF soaps are not real ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Not a soap, not fiction but a real story. It was broadcast this morning as part of a BBC show called Fake Britain. It is the case of Lorainne Upritchard. Other than showing that this sort of activity happens everywhere, it's not really Thai related; so closed.
