that would be very unusual

you must be new here

^^ Yes, I know what novel means, thanks (though you fucked up the IPA so perhaps not quite the display of linguistic mastery that you had hoped).

Is this novel in the Thai context? Perhaps, yes but that's not the point. My post was in response to the tedious dicks who hover around looking for any excuse for a moan. The article doesn't say that this is novel. In fact what it says is ไม่ใช่มีที่ไทยที่แรก เพราะก่อนหน้านี้ที่อินเดียก็ได้มีแนวคิดเนรมิตรทางม ้าลายแบบเดิมให้เป็นทางม้าลาย 3 มิติมาแล้วเช่นกัน, which is pretty much the opposite claim.

Is that clear now? Good.

There is no perhaps about it.

I've not engaged in a national survey of zebra crossings so I'll defer to your expertise in that fascinating area of research. But congratulations on avoiding admitting that you neither read the link nor understood the context of my post. Impressive stuff.

Being shown to be incorrect has strange effects on some people. :(

Clearly so, Luigi. Best stick to posting up pictures of your dog food. Much less room for error there.

I sense butthurt.

:(



Fascinating. :)

Introspection is the first step to self-knowledge, so congratulations, I guess.

Definitely butt-hurt, like a big dose of being incorrect is trying to pass through.


Perhaps see a doctor about it.

I have a novel idea, never tried out before in Thailand, it's so novel , place on a pedestrian school crossing, dressed in Pommie garb a
Lollipop Lady
Novel eh

In fact, it's pretty clear that you don't.

Really?

You think it means a work of fiction in this context?

Merrian Webster:
1: new and not resembling something formerly known or used
2: original


I'll take the "novel for Thailand" response and leave it at that.

Since it's not the first one of these in the country, it's not even particularly novel for Thailand, though it might yet win the much coveted Uttaradit innovative street marking of the year award.

It is .

Attention please, all you patent attorneys and learned proof-readers:

Let me settle the issue for you here.....it was "novel" for me.

Have a good nights sleep.

It's a big hotel chain, the Novel...Innit?...

^^Thread closed. Nothing novel to see here. :deadhorsebig:

A foolish suggestion, perhaps, but maybe you could read the article before you add a headline to it. Yes, I was right. Stupid idea.

Get more kids involved and get more creative. Thai's are damn good artists.

Did read the article, yes.

Still that idea was 'novel' to me.

Am I being sued?

No, put whatever comment or title you like on it.

Well you caused a right shitstorm there Hans.:)

Was getting worried there...sued by the copyright holding Indians, sued by Merriam Webster, Longmans, Oxford, Roget's....

All that litigation.....a man could easily go bankrupt here on this forum. :)

Yeah, but there can always be two of us.

Better put in 20 baht each to get a good defence counsel. :)
