It would, if you dressed it up a bit more advantageously, i.e. bragged about it - too late now.

Last month I met a guy in the bar of a hotel in Singapore, I was there on a business trip.

I sat down and had ordered my beer, but not yet received it, when he jumped in with 'Hi, are you here on business?'. 'Yes I replied'.

Then, 'I take it you're English, do you live in the UK?' (He was Scottish).

'No, I'm not English and I don't live in the UK, I live in Italy'.

Then with unbridled enthusiasm he went on in a tweny minute monologue..

"I live in Thailand... I'm an engineer, I get paid $****** and it's great.... of course I'm in quite a high position in the company, and I get a few extra special favours......."

When I eventually stopped to draw breath I asked him....

'So who do you work for?'

Oh I work for a company called... "******"

At that point the barman looked at me with a knowing smile.

Yes this little shit works for the same company I work for.

He then went on and on and on for half an hour.

I eventually said I think I might know someone who works with you and asked him if he knew a guy called (and I made a name up), no he said, so I made another name up and again he said no. I then asked do you know (and gave the name of a very good friend who works in our Thailand office), Yes he said, a great guy..

Yes I said, please say hello for me when you see him.

I then gave him my business card, which carries my client's details and left him to find out who he'd been talking to and try and recall exactly what level of BS he was giving out.

I also look forward to meeting him sometime in the future, as I undoubtedly will... There is loads of fun to be had out of this...

Classic

When watching media, we should try to be aware of the bells and whistles: more bells and whistles means more shite and lies.

I equate the media's bells and whistles to a man's bragging. The more bragging I hear, the less I'm likely to believe he's worth spending time with.

But isn't this type of bragging found everywhere?

My wife's dad is the Mau pii (spirit doctor) for our village so he is very well connected with the other side. Don't mean to brag or anything.

I brag all the time. But then I'm a "Billy No Mates" (see, I'm even bragging now ) - so no c*nts listening

I don't say anything, usually. I just nod, and say, "yeah," or "nice."

Best response.

Yep, gotta agree there, what there really saying is:

"she's not from Isaan but I still have to pay her so she sticks around. She puts the money in the bank instead of blowing it on Hello Kitty stuff"

And I know someone who knows someone who met MeMock, does this count?

Oh, and I met TV's George, OE's Mandrake, TD's dirtydog and many other important sex- and expats, including the illustrious Gentleman Scamp, Butterfly and Bluecat...hey, I'm a V.I.P. sort of guy, not to be messed with!

Yeah but is your missus an ex ho?

The most vicious short-time yabba-head you could hope to find in Thermae - does this count as bragging?

That's exactly the reason. Like if not everyone would notice the difference 200 metres away.

Accepting religion was that negative?

Calls for migrants English debate - nope not negative either

Skype phones - noppe

Being knocked back for a loan because you are married to a foreigner - nope

Viagra - nope

Asiaexpats.com - - yes and I told you to fuck off as well. You aren't still upset about that are you you pathetic little wanker.

Buying a 2nd hand house - nope

Getting a new passport when on the run - nope

Best airline for ignoring baggage limits - nope

If you could be any Teakdoorer for a week who would it be and what would you do?-nope

Brontok, Godzilla and AdobeR (aka Ravmon) - yes about a computer virus

The world's most dangerous drug - nope

So what you are trying to say really Memock is you are a petty little fuckwit. Well done thankyou for pointing that out.

I don't know mate, I used it to mean "she's a complete bitch who always wants to get her own way"

I figure that anyone who complains about braggarts is just voicing their own jealousy....

feel free to add your own

I hate this one cos it's nearly always a way of saying "My wife isn't from a bar"

But it shows one thing, that the level of intelligence of the company they keep.
