Chittychangchang Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 OK You Brits! Burning questions here: What is a singlet? I see these posts about "well he went in public wearing a singlet and thought it was alright". In the USA this is a singlet: http://en.wikipedia....estling_singlet What is a craic? What is a stone? Like the weight. Someone told me before, but I forgot. A singlet is something Brits wear when it is too cold A singlet is something Australians wear when it is too hot A craic is what we are having here and A STONE is a wait for it......A Stone.

submaniac Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) fortnights I get. Singlets I don't get. The proper name for the garment is a "wifebeater", thank you very much. For years this is what I thought of what was being referred to when someone said "pushbike". I mean you "push" it, so it must be a "pushbike". If you had meant "bicycle" you would have said "bicycle"; besides you don't "push" a bicycle, you peddle it. I ride motorcycles. I wanted some leather "trousers". I once posted on the Bangkok forum "where can I have some leather pants custom made in Bangkok". You lads thought I was ever so kinky.

Yep thats a scooter but pants are what you wear when you go out, Trousers are what you work in in winter and jocks are what you wear under both.

Fortnight's heck there is another thread running where two Brits are arguing about what time 12 o clock is. Lol.... maybe we should combine the two threads..... If I save up all my shreddies (keks/thunderbags/skivvies) and semmets for a fortnight how many washing machine loads will it take? If I start the washing when I get home from work (6pm/18:00)....... A) will I finish the washes before I want to go to my scratcher (midnight/24:00/0:00), assuming I do a 30 degree (CELCIUS ) cycle? how long a washing line will I need, (answers in chains)? As you can see I am bored..... the great unwashed are working on their class project, and I am playing. Ain't it sad that the kids are more responsible than their teacher but I am retiring in a few weeks and the constipated owk syndrome has hit home. OK.... must go search t'internet for a flight to BKK...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ok, I may be wrong about the distance thing. I was just talking to some Aussie tourists once and they were telling me about how many times they were coming to Thailand. It was explained to me that they went because, partly, because with the costs of a vacation (hotel rooms, food, etc.) in Aussie, it was cheaper to come to Thailand than to go on a vacation in their own country. Haven't read all the way through but I am doing so. Just as you your post reminded me of an e-mail I got with a picture outside an airport in Oz that stated, Phuket, it's so cheap I think I'll go.
