No wonder noone understood me at the pub!

[buhi]

Jokes are subtle to most British and hidden inuendo understood, but here it all misfires!

[MJCM]

Sorry, but I think you forgot the attachment ?

[Songhua]

What do you mean?

[bkkcanuck8]

That is really subtle, I can't see anything

[Gecko123]

It's a learning process.

Keep trying.

I know I am.

Do you think this is funny?

No problem.

I don't either.

[pgrahmm]

Yeah - Brits have their own type of humor...or think they have....it's a Brit on Brit thing....

Same same as the rest of us - but different.....

[MJCM]

I think I get it, he posts this in Pub and let it loose and sees what happens (but I could be wrong )

[bkkcanuck8]

Sort of like German humour for the English....

[Pomthai]

As if Germans have humor lol

[Franky Bear]

Sort of like German humour for the English....

German and Humour ....that's an Oxymoron

[pgrahmm]

Maybe it's a Herman's Hermits private moment - wasn't Peter Noone the lead singer? Possibly hard of hearing now?

[Norabone]

It's a kind off hush, so no-one gets to hear it!

[Gecko123]

OP posts and then disappears???!!!

Is this supposed to be some kind of a sick joke?

[Chairman Of The Board]

I'm confused.

When you say pub do you mean the Farang pub forum or in a real pub (bar).

If it is a real pub maybe it's something to do with the drink.

I notice that when I drink a lot other peoples hearing gets slurry.

As we all know, the old jokes are the best, so we should be grateful to the OP for not repeating those that we had heard so often before.

Maybe it is not the jokes, but the person that is not understood.... this post is a prime example

Sorry folks, had forgotten about this entry, which rather illustrates what I was thinking.

Thai Visa is such a huge forum , with thousands of contributors from a multitude of Nationalities.

I usually start on Thai News and maybe get involved in a couple of threads; recently the Koh Tao threads, of which there are so many I cannot remember what I posted on which one of them; a star indicates I posted something, then I have to search the thread to remind myself what it was.

Next I visit General and maybe post a couple of replies; now I am into several threads on Thailand News and General.

Then a General topic is moved to Pub and by then I am lost as to what I have posted, where? to whom? about what?

No wonder I am not understood at the Pub!

Same as after a day at work, this issue, that issue to be dealt with, then relax at the pub and no one has a clue where you are coming from or about what, as these are chat comments and not serious.

The jokes comment was indeed about differences in humour between different people/ Nationalities and how when I am being facetious it can be mistaken as a serious comment.

Thanks for your attempts at trying to reply to this; I meant to reply much earlier, but as I say, I forgot about the entry!

You still have not mentioned the joke..

[buhi]

You still have not mentioned the joke..

Just did in the modified comment.

I have a very dry sense of humour, which many Brits do not understand, goodness help anyone who does not know me in person.

You're in it, what you drinking?

[bkkcanuck8]

We are all made up of unimaginable number quantum particles and because of this we are constantly entangled.... so if he is in one pub, it is only logical that he may very well be in all pubs at the same time..... sorry, but to avoid it you will have to avoid pubs in general

[AhFarangJa]

I'm getting dizzy..... Think I need a lay down for a while...

[WitawatWatawit]

Will someone let me in on the joke, please. Or is it the British?

[ATF]

It's probably some Scandi joke.

Q: What's the biggest Reindeer?

A: The one with the biggest antlers!

On a par with German jokes.

Q: How many Men are sitting at the table?

A: 600 kg!

They will laugh for weeks over these.
