Cav. I tend to disagree, IMHO the OP was pushing a personal vendetta too far and got his come uppance, as has been stated both here and in Sticks diatribe, never take a crap in an asians rice bowl, rock the boat and you will capsise. Scams, Crap, Bullshit, Corruption, call it what you like is part and parcel of Asian Society not just Thailand, and in order to survive, make a living and have a life here one needs to keep eyes and ears open and mouth shut, shit happens don't become a victim!

Pushing is a better word ... as in pushing up the roses.

And in Sticks column he refers to him as "a long time Stickman reader - and a friend" Part of Darwins theory of evolution was how the gene pool found its own levels!

Neo, For a start read what rchapstick said and what I agreed with I was not referring to a scrap of paper, but the website of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Travel Advice for Thailand. As for scams that are not on the list I agree totally, but the OP is only referring to one Scam, and making the statement "The Word Isn't Out", something I demonstrated to be an incorrect statement.

I have to agree with rchapstick on this, Taken from UK Foreign Office own website. It would appear the word IS OUT!

Hampshire police thought it would be a good idea to advertise on the rear of a bus. Their planning did not take into account the position of the exhaust pipe.

KS, The "must be a cat with no tail thing.......... " line was referance to my birth place The Isle of Man also referred to as 70,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock. The Manx Cat is famous for being tailess

Come on SJ ... KS was confused enough with the joke, you will have totaly lost him with that comment.

ijs5 joke reminded me of this old one An Englishman an Irishman and A Scotsman went to a Brothel in Amsterdam and were told that the going rate was â?¬25 / inch. A couple of hours later after doing the dirty deed they were chatting to each other outside, the Englishman said " Not bad for â?¬200" the Irishman, somewhat bragging said" I paid â?¬250" then the Scotsman added "Well I only paid â?¬75" The Englishman and Irish looked at the Scotsman and burst out laughing â?¬75 ha ha ha, the Scotsman replied "I don't know what you're both laughing at, I paid on the way out"

Following the death of Pavarotti the Three Tenors will now be known as 20 Quid!

Just Teasing ... Being a "Professional Pedantic Asshole" is part of my job description and it has been one of those days today. Rather than let off steam here I think I will take the 200 Meter stroll down Soi AR and into Soi 6 instead, having digs in Pattaya for work sure beats anywhere I ever was in the ME

No, they are at the ticket office

I did not Laugh due to the poor delivery of the (non) joke Now if you Laughed it must be your sense of humour that is in question, or maybe ones lack of ability to comprehend the written word in front of you.

Line 5 was Outbound Journey, I see that The alledged joke is about the return journey

OK lets put it in simple English Tickets Please as a stand alone punchline is not funny but could be considered funny. But since there were Scots in each restroom where did one of the Scots go to knock on the Door of the Englismens restroom, they were not even on the Train!

Always proof read your punchline ... its what makes a joke work!

Before Marriage...... Boy: Yes. At last! It was so hard to wait. Girl: Do you want me to leave? Boy: No! Don't even think about it. Girl: Do you love me? Boy: Of course! Over and over! Girl: Have you ever cheated on me? Boy: No! Why are you even asking? Girl: Will you kiss me? Boy: Every chance I get! Girl: Will you hit me? Boy: Are you crazy? I'm not that kind of person! Girl: Can I trust you? Boy: Yes. Girl: Darling! After marriage...simply read from bottom to top.

There was also the real bar at the back, by real I mean concrete built inside bar with Air-con Pool Tables TV's etc owned by a Scotish guy (I won't mention his name) who before he bought it used to be a regular in Jools. Some of you may know him. I often wonder what happened to him after that.
