theblether Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 WOOHOO! All these brigades and now one or two are finally fronting up.... It's great isn't it? ........on that subject there are two more brigades out there......... The " Idiots that gave their undying support to a guy pretending to be a woman on Thaivisa " Brigade. There are still dozens of members that don't know it was a guy........and to make it even worse he posted to confess it was a guy. Try paying attention. Then the " I will follow every post and Like every negative comment about a member " Brigade. Quite frankly pathetic and embarrassing......that particular member has spent years chipping away at people too. Some people just can't be happy in life.

Tchooptip Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The brigade of those who understand its wiser not to answer to some post "only" because it causes itching, also called the Zen brigade. The same brigade do not believe every post they disagree with comes from some sort of brigade.

SteeleJoe Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 So many (all?) of these in the first 6 pages are spot on but I'm not going to read through it all before posting a couple that were inspired by a couple I saw -- I apologize if they've been done already: The "I've got my Expat package and everything set up for me so I am superior to those of more humble means who made it on their own" brigade The "people who violate the letter or spirit of immigration or labor law are the worst scum in Thailand and I want them punished!" brigade Sent from my iPad using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konini Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Except in what is recognised as one of the best written English books of all time....Th King James Bible...Try counting the sentences starting with "And" in that. The fact that it does doesn't make it good grammar though. Besides, a lot of posters here are not native English speakers, so we should never get pedantic about spelling or grammar. Takes me back to my school days with a particularly strick English teacher: Never start a sentence with a supposition etc. How would most native never mind non-native English speakers know that? I've found the majority of times - this post aside as it is obviously humorous, people who criticise spelling or grammar do so because they have no other argument, and that goes back to the days of usenet on the BBS Fidonet system in the 1980's.

Konini Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hate being called Farang Bridage... Where Can I buy ___ Brigade... I can agree with you first, but for the second, nooooo. I am an avid cook and without the help of folks on Western Food and Chiang Mai forums, I would never have sourced many of the more unusual ingredients I have either looked for or was not sure they were available in Thailand, or a suggestion of a good substitute for whatever it is. However, many of the Where Can I Buy's are a bit annoying when it's something quite obvious and its a case of looking in the shops or markets. Or asking at the shops or markets, or asking a local (pictures on phones are a very good aid for those who have communication difficulties).

It's "strict" not "strick" and "Never end a sentence with a preposition" not "supposition". I don't use a spell checker as I believe it makes the brain lazy and occasionally I get caught out, but although you are correct about not ending a sentence with a preposition, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't begin one with a supposition either. Someone with more knowledge than me from the grammar brigade will no doubt correct me - please feel free to, if I'm wrong I'd like to know.
