MJP Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 You ever see English women? Over 35? I know some over 35 but under 40 and yes, gorgeous and intelligent and kind and funny. My favourite is a blonde chartered geologist from Newcastle. . How much does it cost to charter her for an entire weekend? God bless her and all who sail in her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfieconn Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Those who move here full-time but don't get stuck here (by building a house, etc) usually end up going back home eventually. That's why you see so many TV members disappearing from the forum on an ongoing basis. That and Mr Toad annoys them. Then there are those who stay. They are stuck here, or they have nothing to go home to. Then there are the few who fit in with Thais, like it here, and stay here until they die. By the way, pay no attention to MrToad. He's a meany. Building a house doesn't mean your stuck here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not to be a smartass either, but you mentioned the word "meany" several times, including the thread title. Is this how they spell "many" in Australia? "Meany" just sounds like a person who's not so nice. But to your question, I've talked to many Englishmen in Thailand. In no particular order, they say their homeland is cold, bleak, over-regulated, expensive, and overrun by immigrants. I'm American, so I'm only speaking from comments that I've heard. And yes, I'm sure Thai women have something to do with this. What you have heard from those Englishmen is 100% true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post YeahSiam Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thailand or England? What a difficult decision... Depends what's important to you, I suppose. If rule of law, standards of service, abundance of professional workmen, an absence of overt corruption and women who aren't after your money are important to you, it's a no-brainer. There are as many obese men in England as there women - something to bear in mind next time youhear heavy-set men whining about fat women back home. Finally, I don't believe the OP was born in Australia - I simply don't believe that the educational authoritieswould have let him leave school with English as bad as his. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Any further discussion/comment on grammar and the thread will close. 3. If possible please proofread your post first, poor grammar and spelling can make the post difficult to understand. However be aware that not every member is a native english speaker and excessive posts regarding others spelling and grammar not only hijacks the topic but is poor netiquette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Commander Tamson Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Mr Toad, meany or not, was right in one of his earlier posts. The Brits are natural travellers and settlers. Has been that way for centuries. We are also natural philanthropists - so being the best educated nation in the world, we like to go out and teach the world's natives how to be civilised. Hasn't worked in Thailand yet of course 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post saakura Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 They're trying to get away from all the foreigners who are invading their Country. And those foreigners come mainly from countries which England invaded and colonised. What goes around comes back, reverse colonisation?

MrWorldwide Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 costas, can you not see that the OP is about as Greek as I am ? My question would be why there are so many Aussie weekend warriors in Pattaya atm when our dollar is still below 27 baht, but that's a topic for another thread.
