I didn't really mean that I wanted English teachers to add this into their lessons....oh well, back to the beach.... Cheers Hi Roger, Made a feeble attempt at being tongue in cheek too perhaps referring to Jordy capdrivers. Hmmm ... Perhaps will never master this thing. I'm a bit of an Anglophile but grasping English culture is by all means more difficult than grasping any other culture. I will never master for sure. I've been working in Nigeria for a year and in the end felt capable of understanding Nigerians but I still felt utterly clueless about those English contracors from Sheffield and roughly that latitude. You feel like you're dealing with some secret society. Neverthless, my favourate bar in BK is this "Dutch" thing on the end of Cowboy. Perhaps we will exchange "secrets" one day. But not anytime soon 'coz my priority is Phils for now. Nevertheless guess I would enjoy knocking down a few proper lagers with you. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem55 Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 quote: Originally posted by stump_dog: Asking for coke might just get you a delivery of drugs...stick with the Koh-la This reminded me of a story famous among those of us in the ad business. The Coca-Cola Company wanted to introduce a lemon-lime flavored drink to compete with Mountain Dew. The ad writer presented the name "Mello Yello'. The Coca-Cola execs were afraid of the name saying it made reference to hallucinagenics. At this point, the ad writer leaned across the table and said 'excuse me, have you ever heard of coke.'

But "Coke"is not a thai word, so the Thais should be the one learning how to say it correctly. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
