chuckwoww Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I missed the part about being 'highly respected in my field of journalism'...perhaps we know each other? That puts things in a different light. It does look as though Whiskers is only doing his bit to bring Windmill up to international girlie bar standards.

Mekong Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Faustian, We may have agreed to disagree on previous threads on this board but on this one I concur with your overall take on it 100%. How to avoid being a victim is more of a social skill than becoming one and bitching about it on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorwolf Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for your comments. Does it add anything useful to the topic, I wonder? well, as jonjon said: Does mentioning "I am arguably one of the top 10 specialists in the world" add anything? surely, if you're one of the world's top 10 journo's you have more influential outlets for your harrowing story about you facing certain death in a pattaya girlie bar? i've already commended you for the entertaining anecdote, and will top this up with a !! also i hereby promise not to frequent windmill when i'm in pattaya next time, which is unlikely to happen before 2012...if ever... as you're one of the world's top 10 journalism specialists i'm sure you won't mind answering a few questions by a budding (i was ranked 2,045th last year) investigative reporter: * you say you "had spent around four hours in the bar and spent thousands of baht on drinks and tips" yet you were "not drunk". what did you spend you baht on? if mostly on alcoholic beverages, i'd say you might have been a little tipsy; if on soda, you would have a dangerous gas build-up; if on cola, your blood-sugar levels would have made you a bit jittery; if on tips, some people might call you a mite foolish... * you keep referring to this bar-chick as "my dancer"...you have a long-running relation with this her? are you her pimp? were you planning to barfine her? (if not, let her find someone who will!) * who were these "three or four thugs" who assaulted you? waiters? bouncers? random dudes? connected with the bar/mamasan or not? did they flee? did they stay? also, when thai thugs set upon someone the results are not usually limited to "a cut lip and cut on the bridge of my nose"... * you could have filed a police report but claim that would not have made a difference...and posting here will? why not do both if you're this upset? * do you have any tips as to how i can improve my rankings on the "world's best scribbler" list?

shygye Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for your comments. Does it add anything useful to the topic, I wonder? Go file a police report. This will force the owner to respond. If you are not bothered to file an official report why should we be bothered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 You used the words 'I would think...' Judging from your other posts, is this to be taken as a rare event, possibly out of the usual? Some foul mouthed response is sure to ensue.

yfs Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi, Guys, you sure are a suspicious lot. I have no doubt that crap like this could easily happen in many bars, so why could it only be 'real' if the poster has several hundreds of posts? Sanuk! Exactly.

Hugh_Hoy Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 From what you posted, I'd say that it's "only" another example of bad Thai "manners" and over-the-top response by some Thai thugs. For just once, I like to read about the 50 farangs in a bar seeing something like this go and jump the three or four or five Thai assholes, beat the shit out em and thoroughly trash a bar. It could be over in 60 seconds before the police could really respond. (Maybe timed with Cobra Gold so that, as the troops left the port, they could level the fucking city of Pattaya with their guns ) HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 ... I am close to retiring age' date=' and highly respected in my field of journalism where I am arguably one of the top 10 specialists in the world. ... The appeal of the nightlife in Thailand, while sordid in other countries, has long been regarded as a fun thing here. But that has always been skin-deep and like so many things in the Land Of False Smiles an illusion, and increasing the squalid underbelly is being exposed. [/quote'] overall an entertaining anecdote, but you're definitely not in any top-10 when it comes to grammar or making sense...just try reading the last para... Or any of it...lol Last night I typed a very similar response, as I was thinking the exact same thing as you have posted.... but in one of my rare moments of compassion for fellow Human beings, I deleted it... Silly me...lol This morning I'm feeling myself again...(yeah, I know LOL) so here's "MY take" Boring old fart visits Windmill... Stays few hours...buys a few LD's...)Hey Big Spender) Waffle's on to "Dancer"...but doesn't Pay Bar.... Girl is working...and fed up to the neck with "loser", cos no value to her Old fart goes for a piss...girl bolts to "greener pastures" Old fart comes back and throws a "hissy fit" cos HIS Dancer has gone....lol Mamasan tells him to stfu & piss off Old fart grabs Mamasan by wrists Thai boys see this and see a chance to kick the shit outa said Old fart ...and the rest, as they say, is History Same shit....different day... Think I might enter the Clark Kent school of Investigative Journalism ....I could really go places, cos there's some real in the top 10 ranking.. ...or so I read somewhere Just my But what would I know I'm a Cumb Dunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 [but what would I know The poster doesn't seem like a dumb cunt or one who did anything wrong. It was the mamasan who apparently displayed the hostility, while the poster (in the absence of any other info) felt that he was at least owed a "good-by" by the dancer. I've only once not been told "good by" by a bg with whom I'd spent some time...and it was after ASKING if it was okay for her to go see "a customer". Of course, I've never had a problem, as I would've barfined her long before if I was interested in anything more than her company in the bar and nothing more. Too many guys here seem to automatically discount and become cynical in their choosing of "sides" without having been in a witness to an event. FWIW, I've seen the most trouble caused by bargirls and their foolishness than by punters. Bargirl vs. farang, bargirl vs bargirl...you name it. For every dumb cunt punter, there's three dumb cunt bar girls. Yeah, the punters may be drunk, but chances are the girls causing the trouble are drunk or on dope.

khunsanuk Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi, To all those immediately discarding this as an attack at the bar, I'd like to ask what you would do in a similar situation? (And yes, I know that this obviously would never happen to such an old-hand as you ) I know that I certainly would post about it on this and perhaps other boards as well. Sanuk!
