Nearly every time that I put my ass down on a bar seat in Thailand I meet a Walter Mitty type character.

These characters are always ex members of some elite force and the actual force that they were in is dependant on where they are from (usually).

For example, a British Walt would be ex SAS or SBS, whereas an American Walt would be ex Rangers or a Navy Seal.

While these Walts have been known for spouting their crap at bars in Thailand, we now have these Walts starting to appear on TVF.

Yesterday I noticed that one of the TVF members has now established himself as a Walt by using an SAS cap badge as his avatar in an attempt to fool other members into thinking that he has SF training.

However, when called out the member crumbled and pretended that it was a joke.

The good thing about bar Walts is that when they spout their crap you can just get up and walk away but now we may have to endure this inane dribble while reading the posts on our favourite forum.

So, as this is in the ‘Pub’ forum, if you were a Walt, which Walt would you be?

I would be an ex member of G-Force (no Toady, they are Guinea Pigs and not Gerbils).

Pattaya. City of Dreams and Delusions. More Special Forces per square metre than anywhere else on earth. More unpaid bar tabs too!

Yeah, within Pattaya I have personally met about 7 ex SAS members who where on the balcony of the Iranian Embassy in London during the siege, more likely on a balcony of a guest house overlooking Jomtien Bay with a bottle of Chang.

i live out in the sticks so dont seem to meet any ex SBS/SAS etc

we do have an ex postie

Ex-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the old one, while DSF still existed). - Topical eh?

I have met a number of ex-professional sportsmen around Thailand, interestingly when their names are checked, they never seem to appear anywhere.

Now, now Toady, is that a direct knock at me being the shuffle board gold medal winner at the Moscow Olympics.

I am an ex-member of International Rescue, AKA, a Thunderbird, although I cannot divulge which member, as I would have to kill you, but can say, I am not Lady Penelope or Brains or Aloysius Parker

Lol, one guy was proclaiming to me and a mate how he had played State Cricket in Australia blah, blah and had played against all of the very best players, blah, blah... Then he made this statement "The opening bowler should be getting some reverse swing with the new ball". whilst we were watching the Cricket on the TV.

The bloke still continues to this day that he was a top Cricketer, when we all know that it is total fantasy. The list could continue on some of the BS I've heard

So, are you Virgil, he has the coolest aircraft of all of the Thunderbirds.

In fact, Thunderbird 2 had its own TGAU shaped device.

Of course, that would be a single barrel TGAU.

I always seem to bump into Walt Trump ! The guy who has plenty of money and owns an apartment block or 3 or multiple businesses.

Just this week I met yet another Walt "Jobs", who started a multi-million dollar business from his kitchen table! The Jobs before that stated a multi-million dollar business from his garage. I meet some sort of self-made entepreneur (sp?) every time I'm down at Immigration. They come to me, a stranger, eager to tell me their great success story, surviving in the great jungle of BUSINESS, starting from nothing, building an empire, selling at an obscene profit, now living happily in a fabulous view condo with a lovely lady he met online, who has never set foot in any bar.

Charlie I seem to get the same problem when I am invited to visit a young ladies' Country Estate. It usually consists of 10 rai of mud.

Being an ex-SAS, ex-SBS, Ex-ranger and finally ex navy seal, I get offended by threads of this nature, trying to undermine my heroic actions and services to my ex-countries.

How you dare you Sir?

We shed our blood, for you to be able to post on TVF today.

As about the gentleman with the SAS insignia, you should know that we fought side by side with him on the Crimea war.

Mr Neverdie can verify what I'm saying, he was fighting under my orders at the time.

Good Afterbaloon Mr. Costa,

The problem is that we know that you were not in any of these groups that you claim to be from.

It has been brought to our attention that you were in fact a member of the 1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade (1η Ταξιαρχία Kαταδρομών-Αλεξιπτωτιστών).

The Greek soldier in your avatar gives the game away.

Here you are Mr. Costas to make you fell more at home.

It brings tears to my eyes, to remind me and appreciate my sacrifices to the human race.

Yes, I fought hard in my life and have slaughtered loads of Toads.

But one has escaped my wrath.............one of these days I'll find him.

Oh Costas, you poor man,

SAS = Simple Athenian Soul

SBS = Serious Badger Stalker

and Navy seal doesnt mean the colour of the seal on your milking jars.

Nevermind, you can but dream !.....yeeeaaahhhhh

Slaughtering Toads, I am horrified that you would do that to such sensitive loyal creatures.

Friendly characters that leap into action when needed........yeeaaahhhh

Disappointed in you Mr Costas.

So Roland you must have been a member of the British 8th Army otherwise known as the Desert Rats.

That looks like a kangaroo to me.

I would be Walt Disney, because I've been using (and abusing) a mouse for long in my professional life.

That looks like a kangaroo to me.

Mr. Costas the Desert Rat I believe is actually a sort of Gerbil. Roland will give us the answer I'm sure.

Absolutely. Clawed Warriors. The scourge of Rommel.

The ones that I really can't bear are alleged Navy SEALs. More generally, each time I meet people pretending that they are seamen, I find it hard to swallow!

I thought the whole point of coming to to Thailand was to re-invent oneself. Every girl who goes to BKK to work does this..so why not you? Being now an honourable 'family man' I can no longer remember which alias was an alias for which alias:)
