farangme Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Out letting my dogs bite a few vandals. Making a poison to kill the jackdaws on my roof. Plastering, working on this house. Leisurely drives out at night still got 55 rubble sacks to dump. All that good stuff. And eating very well, salt chili chicken with chips tonight, litre of sherry and 12 Guinness to wash it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to engage in conversations now. I understand more than I speak. It comes in very handy. But you gotta learn when to turn it on or turn it off. Me as well ... I understand Thai very well ... I never tell any Thais that I understand or speak ..... I always just sit and listen to everyone around ... now and then ( not very often ) I will say something ... but, not often ... the most that I ever speak any Thai is to taxi drivers ... ordering food or a beer .... sometimes asking for directions when I get lost in the deep South I would have never wasted my time learning .. but, since I have lived here so long ... I thought it might be to my advantage to at least learn a little .. the more I learned the easier it became I find it a good weapon to have in the arsenal ... it makes navigating your life here much easier ... just by listening ... but, most Thai conversation in groups is pretty superfluous IMHO When I speak Thai ( which isn't great .. but correct ) I always get a double take from Thais .. maybe out of surprise .. it seems I always have to repeat myself then they understand 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the last two weeks getting messages from other bar owners asking me to translate the latest letter from the Governor of Chonburi. I try to explain that i don’t speak legal Thai and most of these letters are written in what compares to Shakspearian English. Anyway, I try my best. thats the issue we have for the news too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I just cannot learn other languages. I should be fluent in French and passable in Spanish but apart from "ami vous les blow jobs and dos San Miguels chief" I am a waste of space. My wife Sai could not speak one word of English when we met and now switches from Thai to English like throwing a switch. As an adult I have a whole bunch of formal qualifications I gained through study and examination so I am determined if nothing else but I simply cannot grasp other languages. Perhaps it is psycological block as I did absolutely loath my French teacher at School who once wrote one of my reports "He is lazy, untidy, never works well and is a disgrace to himself and his class ." Funny how I can quote that word perfect after all these years. Unfortunately, there may have been a grain of truth in what the bitch said.🤣 I never was interested in learning it as if ever i had to give staff shit for something i did not want to understand when they said boy that Larry is a asshole f**k him 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already near obliterated the Rhino, Tiger, sharks etc. I know it's not as easy at that, they drive the world economy, hold loads of other's debt etc. But I said should, not would, sadly. And to see them cunts coming out of this and no doubt going to be even stronger while the rest of the world is crippled, is sickening.

People are wondering which will kill them first, cabin fever or the virus. If it lasts much longer people are going back to their normal lives, virus or not. Or no money ! So many people in the world live hand to mouth ... this virus thing has to have people at their " wits end " ... thinking how they are gonna survive!
