Ijustwannateach Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 ... no one pays attention to us anymore from the outside except for Totster.... You mean to say that Totster has finally come out of the closet? Maybe he wants to be the new gay icon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ijustwannateach Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I noticed that the bottle of Sang Som says it's 80 proof so I'm wonderin how to convert that to alcohol percentage. I would guess it's around 30% but maybe some of your alkies got the formula proof is twice the alcohol percentage- so 80 proof is 40%.

Gazza Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 So, anyone got a funny story, opinion, drunken incident last night, funny morning at work kind of thread to start.Come on guys, lets have it! Yesterday I retrieved some food that was stuck in my teeth by using my tongue. When I bit on it, it was something spicey. Haven't had spicey food for days. Went for a massage a few nights ago and asked for a 'Happy Ending'. I was told a story where everyone lived happily ever after. Nice story but I left a little bemused. Apart from that....every day same-same but different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Turner Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have been in the gay forum once but I said the 'f' word - and I don't mean the one that rymes with duck. Is there a slang term which isn't offensive? The H word is too long for me but bum-bandits will no doubt get me in hot water also. I don't mind people calling me a Canuk and ladies don't mind being called chicks so what do we have for men who like male company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Cleary Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am going to a Disco tonight with my wife. Should I start a new thread or write a blog ? if you still use the term disco,you are too old and have no business being there Thats the word for niteclub in most of asia. cv Actaully, in Thai - the most popular word for a nightclub is a 'Pub'. A 'Pub' in Thailand is a usually a huge hall with scad-looking girlie and hunky handsome singers giving a few reditions of the popular Thai songs of 'the moment'. An hour or so before closing-down, the place turns into a so-called 'disco' with pop music blaring away. Thailand doesn't really have 'proper' discos with actual dancefloors etc.... Most western style discos in Thailand are to be found in the tourist areas of say Silom, Sukhumvit, South Pattaya, Patong beach etc.... targetted mainly to western tourists. But..... Bangkok does have its fair share of 'proper' discos thesed days catering mostly to younger trendy Thais. Can be mainly around ealry-soi Sukhumvit area. So, in Thailand, there is a difference. Outside of the flashy Bangkok, Pattaya areas - a nightclub is known as a - PUB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khutan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well its my wife who calls it a Disco, so I use her terminology. It was good, kept drinking these large blue cocktails. Dancing, food etc. Oh yes the Prawns in a Coconut were really nice also. I am not sure if I should just make this thread a personal Blog or not, and just ignore all the other stuff. A memorable quote here Anybody help me out? I won't answer that, as I love mis-quoting people and getting into trouble.I will reply to this one though Is there a slang term which isn't offensive?, Wes, probably not, as you can always find someone to offend with slang words. I know when I go to the Australian Embassy and enquire where the dunny is they get offended, and thats Australian slang in the Australian Embassy.

Cool Water Palace Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 My interesting life right now is to watch a TV programme (UK C4) on male efforts to improve their membership. A second prog tomorrow deals with the chap who lost his membership 2 years back, and on Wednesday another about the world's largest membership! I'll report back, perhaps, if the progs don't upset me.

Personally, I enjoy a good mott daeng omelette, but you gotta watch those fried grasshopper legs... they stick in your gums and can get painful... that's why I break them off and only munch their heads and bodies.

Uma~~ Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 This forum is the biggest and busiest I have ever seen and any question regarding anything to do with Thailand is usually answered withing 30 minutes. I think what my friend means is that some days the topics are better than others, I suppose it depends what you're after. Some are after inormation some are after discussion and others like to get stuck into a good catfight. Was it another boring day at work Soph?
