There is no "expressly stated provision" against urinating in the carriages either you silly little man.

A real "Gent" would apologise when being shown to be in error.

No chance there of course!

50% of them hate us, and if you fight, you will always be beaten as it's a numbers game.

If you want to live here, it's by their rules.

Don't like it - go home (or take a beating every time you crack)

Why bother going " home "?

Simply move to an area where falang congregate and ignore them for the rubbish they are.Trash Thai are an inconvenience at worst and if one arranges one's affairs appropriately they have no impact at all. I seldom speak Thai and when forced it's only to give commands which they usually obey if only on economic grounds. What sort of relationship would anyone else with half a brain possibly entertain?

I hear you Gent - but I try to live well in this fucking pig sty.

Why even bother?

What - the UK's got a lot going for it at the moment has it?

the gent

Honestly, the extent to which farang will go to kiss Thai arse seemingly has no bounds.

Firstly, the published safety guidelines simply state no dangerous or inflammable substances should be taken on board the trains. Inflated children's balloons, now apparently a much feared threat and the cause of many near disasters around the planet because of the toxicity and nuclear detonating consequences of the hydrogen which is always used in Thailand for all balloons inflated everywhere they are seen, are not mentioned.

Which of course is why we have never seen balloons in shopping malls, schools, trains or buses or in hotel lobbies or anywhere in Thailand except in open spaces where a fire tender is in attendance..........or have we?

It's of course preposterous. I've seen balloons carried by kids on the BTS numerous times, probably as many times as I have seen folk carrying their hot coffees and little foodie bags despite the prohibition of same.

The BTS are making a big deal of it in hindsight because, frankly, they've got bugger all else to rely upon in defending the disgraceful conduct of their staff and that of the loutish G4S guards.

The prohibition of dangerous and inflammable items is of course a reference to the carriage of such substances as liquid gas tanks, petroleum products, incendiary devices such as fireworks etc etc. No one in their right mind ever envisaged such a provision related to children's balloons but if the gutless and craven of the forum wish to endorse such a ludicrous assertion in support of the Thai in preference to a decent law abing farang then that's up to them.

Like I said, craven and gutless but of course living on your knees for so long and kowtowing to the Thai has done irreparable damage to your backbones, if you had any that is.

In any event, I am vindicated in claiming that there is no expressly stated prohibition of children's balloons among the BTS rules of carriage. So no apology there.

a perfect example of bluster, braggadocio, befuddlement, windbagging and melodramatic issue avoidance there.

b list political wannabes and provincial uk defence lawyers have made their names spouting similar fanciful nonsense.

Call yourself a Yorkshireman!

Aw, c'mon Tax, get off your knees and grow a pair. The guy did right but I suppose you've just forgotten what it's like to be your own man rather than a simpering little " guest " of the Thai mincing his way through his delicate little reclusive life in a provincial backwater careful not to upset the local chickenheads lest he gets a thick ear for having the effrontery not to bend the knee at their beck and call.

Pussy boy. Maybe you get tough with your women, eh Tax? Is that about the size of it?

Anyone who actually thinks a child's balloon constitutes a viable threat to security on the BTS is, frankly, a fucking idiot. If it were, then Tax, why don't the BTS insist all refillable lighters are handed in before boarding the carriages? Good Lord! If an inflated balloon in the hands of a delinquent 5 year old poses such a danger just what sort of carnage could be caused by a Ronson Variflame or, Heaven forbid, a Zippo lighter?

You silly old duffer, you.

i, unlike some others, dont need to get tough with my women, my women come to me ready moistened, nor do i need to get tough with security guards or any other of the thai einsteins that are regularly encountered in daily life here.

my air of gentlemanly presence, quiet authority, obvious superiority and discreet charm ensures i dont need to shout or kick to obtain that to which i am entitled in life.
to enjoy life here to the full there is rarely any need or occasion to have to adopt confrontational tactics, this isnt the uk.

a quiet word, a nod or a wink, a tap on the shoulder is all it takes to open doors here.

and as i never attempt to obtain that to which i am not entitled, lifes journey for me is relatively trouble free.

you, and the others who hold similar views are very wrong in your assessment of this case and you well know it, hence your last chance saloon style bluffage.

the irishman attempted to obtain something to which he was not entitled, i.e. free passage onto the bts system whilst carrying inflammable and explosive materials, thats why he got into trouble and made such an arse of himself.

here is a video of an exploding hydrogen balloon

all it would take is a small discharge of static electricity, maybe from the balloon itself, rubbing on someones clothing, to ignite the hydrogen within. we are not talking about an intended explosion, but an accidental one.
a refillable lighter usually resides in ones pocket, and unlike the hydrogen balloon, they cannot spontaneously ignite, and even when lit the flame is only a few millimetres long.

an exploding balloon would engulf and set fire to anyone within a sizeable radius.
but of course you know all this already.

and should such an accident occur, it would be you who would be the first one to come on to this forum, frothing and fizzing and crackling and twitching like a deranged gin soaked colonel, ranting manically about chickenheads, irresponsibility and what happened to the empire.

so be a man, grow a pair, and apologize to terence for the wrong call you erroneously made.

theres a good chap.

This is good fun this thread, & thegent seems to be doing rather well.

It's quite funny that folks living in Thailand are trying to state rules/regulations... I thought there might be a rule/law about assaulting people too, but seemingly that one's being overlooked; well, after all it was a balloon - what an awful man that Irishman is to carry his young daughter's balloon onto a train. And, what wonderful, righteous and decent folks those guards are...

Carry on...

crowd pleasing bluffage, hes playing to the drunks in the cheap seats as usual.

Tax, if you were auditioning for a bit part in the theatre of the absurd that is Thailand I'd think you would do rather well. Possibly, with a bit of jaundice and gel in your hair a la Johnny Rotten or a Huron indian, assuming of course you are not tonsorially challenged, you might pass for a chickenhead such is your tenuous grasp on what we more balanced folk recognise as reality

Now, in the decade or so that I have enjoyed an association with Thailand I have never encountered an incident where a child's balloon has exploded spontaneously to the detriment of the bearer, innocent bystanders or indeed any other being that may have borne witness to such pyrotechnics.

An assumption has been made that all children's balloons have been inflated by death dealing hydrogen and as such constitutes a threat as cataclysmic as the one that destroyed the Hindenburg. I suppose such a claim might not be as extreme as the bizarre suggestion proffered by a cretin on Thaivisa that the BTS management were right to prohibit balloons because they could contain Sarin nerve gas. Frankly, both are as idiotic as the other and it's no coincidence that potty farang with diminished faculties should agree with the BTS management since they all appear to inhabit the same lala land.

The truth of the matter of course is that balloons bought for kiddie parties and the like are all inflated by compressed air.

But why spoil the fun when so many fuckwits can talk utter bollocks interpreting the inside of a Thai git's arsehole with their tongues.

Incidentally, Tax, I've seen more impressive incendiary farts than your clipping.

I wonder how that Irish prick's 7 year old daughter is now ? Papa aint the hero she thought he was anymore, whatever the Gent thinks. Most of us get to that age when we see Dad wasn't really bigger than everyone else's Dad ,but not at 7. Her Mom and Dad are living in fear of reprisals and she will feel the tension there too. She will probably get bullied at her new school now also, and she now knows what will happen to her if like her Dad she fights back. Oh no, wait a minute he didn't fight back he kicked some dustbins and minced upstairs grasping a bunch of balloons, looking a right prize Diva all over the TV and internet

Hero ? Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Bevan and his friend are not, more like the fukkin Chuckle Brothers

**taxexile** · 02-04-2012, 11:15 PM

of that i have no doubt.

Now, in the decade or so that I have enjoyed an association with Thailand I have never encountered an incident where a child's balloon has exploded spontaneously to the detriment of the bearer, innocent bystanders or indeed any other being that may have borne witness to such pyrotechnics.

as you are well aware, the fact that balloons rarely if ever explode has absolutely nothing to do with this story.

what is of relevance is that there is a regulation that prohibits the carrying of any material deemed to be inflammable or dangerous onto the bts, and that the irishman was in breach of those regulations. it matters not a jot how ridiculous that regulation might seem to you or any other passenger, what matters is that there is that regulation, and the possibility that at some time it might just be enforced by someone who for whatever reason deemed those balloons to be a hazard of some kind.

just as foreigners have to report to immigration every 90 days, or risk a fine or worse. how many foreigners kick litter bins in the immigration office because they dont like that stupid rule. the regulation is in effect, and part of our contract with this country deems it necessary to report to immigration every 3 months. ever seen a foreigner lose it in immigration? and what happens to them when they do?

the irishman lost it the second he refused to be bound by a clearly stated regulation, a regulation that bts have every right to enforce, however stupid and unnecessary it might seem. he lost it when his pomposity, his sense of self importance, and his ego overrode his common sense. the more i think about it the more i think he deserved the little bitch slapping he got, by no stretch of the imagination could it be called a beating up. if he had really been beaten up by 3 or 4 guards he would have needed carrying off the platform

his bad attitude brought the whole thing down upon himself, this is not about kowtowing to natives, its about refusing to comply with a clearly stated regulation by a self important twat too stupid, too self absorbed, and lacking the common sense to spend 5 seconds deflating the balloons, smiling and putting them in his pocket, to be re-inflated once he got home, saving himself and his daughter from embarrassment and bruises, and saving the planet and over 200 posters on this forum from the updraughts of hot air released by the gents prolonged grovellings as he vainly attempts to justify this irishmans public meltdown and subsequent humiliation by 3 uniformed midgets.

rumour has it he has an entire closet full of glock t shirts at home and may have been wearing one beneath his uniform

you should tell them to use condoms and bathe before popping by.

**Seekingasylum** · 03-04-2012, 12:54 PM

Tax, your obduracy does you credit and a shining example demonstrating just why Yorkshire folk are world renown for being the dullards they evidently are. Your slavish if somewhat unimaginative reliance upon regulations suggests you would have made a rather fine corporal.

Indeed, one surmises you may have even graduated from the University of the Terminally Stupid with a degree in Advanced Obtuseness.

The idiocy of including children's balloons within the embargo on inflammable items is of course just another piece of Thai fuckwittery and anyone with half a brain would dismiss it accordingly.

Mr Behan is a fine man, resolute of purpose and displayed great strength of character in asserting his rights with the utmost restraint despite the craven and wicked provocation meted out by the loutish BTS staff. He should be honoured and not pilloried for taking a stand against the heathen brutality of the lumpen mob.

Those farang who are incapable of appreciating his actions are a sorry bunch indeed but then, what else does one expect from a slithering invertebrate except a slime trail of rancid hypocrisy?

genticles

it would be nice if you could well demonstrate to us the method and proceedure for flouting the regulations at the BTS/MRT - please inform us of the time and location of your stiff upper lip demonstration and will we look to have scampy on hand to record it in 1080p

This is a situation waiting to explode all over thailand in the presence of:

1) Arrogant farangs, many of whom have ended up living in thailand due to emotional problems and personaility disorders, convinced of their superiority and that they are doing thailand a favour by living there, losing their temper every so often when expected to obey the rules that surround every minute of their lives as a generally unwanted immigrant

2) Oppressed poorly educated peasant thais trying to carve out a living in a deeply unfair society who are simply unable to control their Buddhist inner calm 24/7
