Thai Visa Brigades

[theblether]

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.

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.

Now you all know.

Hope it doesn't show on Tv.

The 'I'm unlucky in love so i am going to post unpleasant comments about thai females" brigade

So who was it? I'm sure it can't be against forum rules to name the poster if they have already confessed.

Have to admit that I missed this post.

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

Oh I forgot one of my own side brigades: "Got a work permit for that then, have you ?" - brigade.

The pink-shouldered, veiny old horrors, whose tongue-like bellies dangle disgustingly below the ragged hems of their stained, smelly singlets as they waddle from sleaze hole to sleaze hole pawing desperately at small brown women barely a quarter of their age in the hope of being allowed to pay for a sexual encounter with a being whose level of physical attractiveness is so at odds with their own that any such sexual contact would be practically inter-special in nature, kind of like a hippo shagging a swan brigade.

The "inebriated with the exuberance of their own verbosity" brigade......

The "I want to make the longest post" brigade. This brigade has been disbanded, because we all know who won that battle....

The “posted from my blackberry using the thaivisa app” brigade

Posted from my HTC HD7, because I don’t need an app to post. I use Windows 7

Agreed - I've given up on the TV and Facebook app and just use my browser.

[Konini]

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.

It's "strict" not "strick" and "Never end a sentence with a preposition" not "supposition".

You have just fallen into so many brigades, one wonders to which rallying cry you would respond....

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).

The Members who can't say no to joining another brigade brigade.

The Showtunes brigade.

The One wee warning away from permanent banning brigade.

Ah.... but now we are into chalk and cheese. You are trying to compare the cultured, refined people in the CM forum with thr riff-raff that lurk in the general forum {Dons helmet, laughing}

You can be forgiven, but only you're if not from the UK..... (we all know certain groups don't get irony)

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.

Pssst Rob --it was MY irony that YOU missed (there's a reason why I only quoted the part of Konini's post that I did).

Ooop.... How ironic, but don't get your knickers in a knot over it. Edited October 9, 2012 by Rob8891

The "ignore decades of US comedy films, TV, writing that employ irony" and pretend the UK are inherently more clever brigade?

That one always amazed me.
