Re: What Nationality Are You

pharvey ...Your tone seems to be a bit angry, especially with the "curse word you typed" in at the end of your post. I'll give you that and appologise for the "curse". However, to say English, Irish, Scottish or Welsh, is not not a nationality is utterly ridiculous. Yes, a Briti...

Re: What Nationality Are You

Jonjar, you still don't seem to accept that each of the four countries have their own identity and nationality. When you are wrong, admit it! No big deal. HHtel..I do admit that all countries in UK have their own identity and nationality and all are proud of it , as I,me proud of it also , and your...

Re: What Nationality Are You

"What Nationality Are You" Being English is not a nationality is it , don't understand your rationality there :) Not British then? Where's the arrogance or racism there then? Tw@t. pharvey ...Your tone seems to be a bit angry, especially with the "curse word you typed" in at the...

Re: What Nationality Are You

Johnjar, that's why there is an 'other' button! Zambia, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe probably don't need their own. :) But IMO should have been South Africa in there for sure, and I know 4 or 5 Finns living very near to me. And Denmark is very well represented here as far as I know too. I guess it's a non...

Re: What Nationality Are You

Maybe re-start it as a new thread with mods co-operation and a fuller list of Countries? I'd even be interested in seeing what the breakdown is between Brits. I consider myself English first and foremost then British. And most Brits I have met here have been English. caller mate..This thread is &qu...

Re: Back in the UK after 14 years

We farang can learn about basic hygiene from the Thai's. Leave your shoes outside the door, use bum guns instead of toilet paper and maybe get the occasional accidental enema and Bob's yer uncle. Took a bum gun home but the plumbing was a challenge so gave up. The paradigm didn't work out so well w...

Re: How did you find Hua Hin Forum?

This Dutch born Aussie farang found your website because I was looking for input about my new retirement locality, i.e. Takiab. After a serious due diligence phase, I found your site very informative and I wanted to join in, I decided to use my own name. What the heck! First arrived in HH via the t...

Re: Possible leak from incoming water

A bit off subject ...Had a bit of dilemma this morning the plastic washing machine water inlet ball valve (from main supply) broke (drowning me) as I pulled open valve handle open before starting wash cycle. So turned off main supply then sawed off supply side and cut plastic hose connections to was...

Re: Hua Hin Immigration Move to top Soi88

There is a thread on this somewhere but I could not find it. I live a few km from the new place and there is still a lot to be done before it is complete, doors, windows, lighting, exterior works and god knows what else. I stopped there the other day and no one was working. If should have been comp...

Re: Back in the UK after 14 years

To DM and Buksi on bum guns... Bum guns are no problem as you can order them on Amazon... one of the first things I installed in my master bath upon returning to the U.S.. After ten years in Thailand I could not live without one. "Bum guns are no problem "Apart from the danger for the ine...

Re: Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin

Driving in Thailand is a bit like playing roulette , red lights don't necessarily mean stop as green lights don't mean go, also never understood why they paint them zebra crossings on the roads, I never seen anyone taking notice of them even when pedestrians are on them . On the bright side it keeps...

Re: Farang Contempt for Thais?

In Australia, for lower level jobs, you are lucky if the company acknowledges receipt of your application/CV. Then if you are selected for an interview, the advice regarding the interview will be via email, and sometimes the interview is conducted over the phone at a specified time. Advice as to fa...
