mesterm Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It's pretty much extinct now but over the years I'd sometimes ask a question & get the response - "I'm don't sure".... Or "l can't know". How philosophical. "Is space infinite?" "Hmm... I can't know." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesterm Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 "You not love me. You only think yourself" And a Thai can say this??? Must be more mirrors, make up and hairbrushes in this house to aid thinking about myself than in any New York Beauty Salon! "You not good" "Not look after me" Well apart from the house, the land, the car, the motorbike, the fridge, the washing machine ,the air con, the clothes and my not chasing girls around town I suppose she has a point? Perhaps you drink and smoke too much??? Or perhaps he just has a Thai wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahSiam Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I bet the OP sat there and thought really, really hard about a topic he could a thread on. If this is all he could come up with, he should head for the nearest high rise and jump Time to change your Meds again YS. Just when I thought you couldn't get anymore bitter you jump up with this beauty. Why attack the OP? Are you just jealous because he has a real wife and child, meanwhile your stuck in your rut? As you've been told a thousand times before on this forum, if you don't like it, don't read it. It really is time you wind your neck in old chum. How bout you run along to 7/11 and shout yourself an ice cream, go sit on the stairs, eT it and have a bit of 'self reflection' time and stop attacking all and sundry on this forum Have a good week, I pray your luck changes soon and you find some happiness yourself! OP, funny story about the slime, I sure as hell won't be making a trip to your refrigerator in the middle of the night.....what a repulsive thing to be kept in the fridge 5555 What the heck is it for? Jealous? That's the best theory you could muster? I think I know why you never made it beyond detective in the police force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robm579 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 " hurry up, take your time" .... No idea what that's supposed to mean... "You are shellfish.... " ....? " i will put that in the fridge later..." Which I now know means never.... Until it goes mouldy...! And I throw it in the rubbish.... " ... Oh we don't go now".... as I'm about to drive to the bus station, at 6 am... to collect her daughter who yet again missed the bus ... Nine hours earlier... But never felt the need to inform anyone... And the classic " no not hot.... Just nid noi...." As she serve me something with paint stripper qualities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnigel Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Its funny how they look at you weird when you tell them their version of a word is incorrect, but they say her english teacher (thai) taught her that way. I have to laugh and say "so i am english, but i say the word wrong, and your teacher was right?" Then she wants to be able to know how to improve by saying the word correctly, but their version is so cute, I don't want her to say it correctly, her version is better. I could never tell her that they are not fingers on her feet, just can't bring myself to tell her.... But on the whole, she speaks clearer english than me, she has even got a Dorset accent at times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BADDAT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 My Vietnamese wife, who had a great command of English, but never cussed, got very upset at someone and tried to call him one of his favorite profanities. She called him, "suckerbug." Took me a while to figure out what she attempted to call him. My Vietnamese ex-gf used to say "jaberlash" instead of gibberish. She also use to call a backpack a "pack back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick dasterdly Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The funniest one that I ever heard was a guy who took his wife back to England, and when she got out of the 'plane asked why they'd left the aircon on outdoors!

sipi Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I pulled up at a tee intersection on a curve and couldn't see if there was any traffic approaching from the left. I asked a Thai friend "Are there any cars coming?". "No" she replied, so I pull out. There was a blasting horn noise and a truck flew past a few feet in front of us. "I thought you said there weren't any cars coming" I screamed. "No, that one truck"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally thaied up Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 This morning I sent my partner off to buy two new motorcycle tires to be fitted. I told her to put a set of Bridgestones on the bike. Off she goes and a hour later her comes back with Chinese cheap shit tires on my bike. I said, "I asked you to put Bridgestones on my bike" and I was not trying to lose my cool. She said, "Good tire. First tire they show me was 400 baht, second tire they show me 600 baht, Fridgestone was 1100 baht. 600 baht tire good they tell me".... I only did not lose the plot due to her saying "Fridgestone"..... I took my bike back, explained what I wanted done and had these tires changed over to Mamma's bike (they were just about stuffed and we have both the same bikes) and had a set of these so called "Fridgestones" put on".

nikmar Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 In spite of the occasional break downs in logic I experience with my good lady, there is nothing I would change about her. Even her Mum, I love her as my own Mother, brings sunshine into my life. Example, last week, we went to visit and she wouldn't let me make a coffee for myself as I hadny finished the coffee from my last visit. It was in the fridge. The dregs that were left were green. Thanks for the replies, guys, some of these have been very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
