You aren't helping your sad tit-like appearance one bit A....

kinda like this....

Why don't you open Audacity, Smeg?

Record yourself singing one of your Thai rock songs w/o backing instrumentation.

(Real singers do the above all the time to prep for studio work)


Upload it to youtube (keep the screen blank if you wish) and share it with us.

Seems you have the time to put this baby to bed.

That's not how it works H. Several nutters will be spending their morning scouring the internet for a video of the gig. Perhaps they'll find one. Let's wait and see.

Of course you did. That was what I got you to do.

Why you were still thinking of me late at evening is a bit worrying though.

Maybe I played you a little bit too much. Sorry to have taken up your evening time while I wasn't even around.

A, stop digging a deeper hole and get back to searching. Thanks.

No need to search.

You'll either be baited into posting it up after a few hours of stewing over it, like yesterday, or it doesn't exist.

Of course it's the latter though.

could this be him behind the shades?

Is that so?

Here's one of those quote chains, just like you posted the other day to try to show me up as a twat

Of course you may still believe that it happened, hence my question.

Those all have their own photo albums too.



Some nice stage pics of their concerts uploaded.

The last time they were in Ubon was April 2015.



Good song by the way.

อุบลราชธานี is Ubon Ratchathani, for those that are illiterate.

Slightly melodramatic there.

The extensive database of their concerts is posted on the previous page, along with quite a good song of theirs. All you do is go onto their official social media. Which is an interesting place, as it happens.

I'm a little bit sorry at how this proves you're lying.

Looks like a nice crowd to play to, though it looks like you've been airbrushed out.

Thank you for running though.

You need to search some more and add more quotes.

To show that you don't care.

Of course I'm still on your mind though, the captured warthog doesn't easily forget the successful hunter.

It will probably take you a few days to get over being played. May I suggest logging out, and spending time with your family and friends.

.. and he proved what a twat you are easily, without even breaking sweat. Loser

^^

You need more quotes and to post more photos.

Maybe this evening after stewing all afternoon.

Like yesterday.

You like the long game on forums, eh?

Yet, won't spend a couple of weeks tuning your pipes with some musicians to unleash that growling, decibel-breaking rock star within, yaa?

Instead, you and your nemeses will spend the better part of the rest of the week pointing fingers, posting TD emoticons and saying things like:

"I know you are but what am I? - I know you are but what am I?" ad nauseum.

...having proven absolutely fuck all, yet claiming that YOU have not only shown how ignorantly challenged and obtuse the "other(s)" is but also how YOU should be heralded as the absolute supreme soldier of narcissism.

You utter and complete cock.

Looks like another 'win' for smeg on the way as he adds yet again to his 'ignore' list.

#192 (permalink The

posts on this thread and only smeg cant see he is.......

I'm not remotely interested in your life H. Best not concern yourself with mine beyond what's healthy.

You set the bar pretty darned low for "gifted"

Adam was a mormon missionary and learned thai BEFORE he came here for his 2 year mission. Then he came back and wrangled his way into this generations "Andrew Biggs".

Don't get me wrong he's a very fluid, very competent thai speaker and I enjoy his videos where he teaches thai english.

FWIW: foreigners speaking thai should strive for "fluidity" when speaking. By that I mean don't pause at the wrong time in a sentence, don't stop to think of the next word you need when speaking. Get your thought out.

Even as good as he is (and you allege you are) not a single thai would ever confuse him (or you) for a native speaker. That a thai doesn't ask if you're a foreigner when you speak thai, doesn't mean they don't know you're a non-native adult learner of the language.

I did meet a french guy who "went native" up in Isaan and spoke Isaan-ese very well, but it still had a foreign accent to it.

About the ONLY near-native speakers of thai I've come across are expat kids who came here YOUNG and learned it.

You certainly don't need to be "gifted" to learn to speak, understand, read & write this "one-trick-pony" b/s language.

Look around you, there are 70+ million people in the country who speak Central Thai. Even you would admit these people ain't the sharpest tools in the shed.

It comes down to motivation, you either want to or you make excuses why you can't do it.

I applaud your extremely high opinion of yourself. Believe me when I say, I'm not talking down to you, I'm tryin' to talk to you on your level. Here, gimme your hand, I'll pull you up here with me..

That's what 'fluency' means, tod.

Think of it like this Smeg.

Other forum:

poster A: Did you hear about Smeg on TD?

poster B: THE Smeg? No, what happened?

poster A: He told the TDers that he could speak near fluent Thai and fool Bangkokonians on the phone.

poster B: And...?

poster A: Well, he said that he learned from lakorn and from singing 100s of Thai rock songs to the level of professional.

poster B: He's a knut.

poster A: No. But here's the thing. He f*@#ing recorded himself singing a few Thai songs and it was awesome!! Then he sat there and spoke colloquial Thai about his morning just to prove those TDers wrong. And it was like....fluent!

poster B: No fucking way!?

poster A: Yeah,..he put it all on youtube and the word is that "CARABAO (คาราบาว)" wants to meet with him, put a band together and produce him.

poster B: <shaking his head> Smeg is going to be Thai-famous. That fugger finally showed them all.

poster A: Crazy huh?




Ok, fantasy over.

Smeg won't use simple technology to prove his claims here.

He'd rather natter on with people he claims to not waste time on....and nitpick nonsense.

So you went to a Potato concert. So, the singer spied a farking farang in the audience singing along and handed you the mic to belt out the chorus.

So - the fuck- what!!?? It happens. OFTEN. At any number of shows. That actually means exactly fuck and all but you'll debate it (the nothing) until the end of time since it serves to fog over your earlier claims.

They're your claims dingleberry. You can have the last laugh on this one.

Make some recordings.

We'll see you back here this evening, Smeg.

This is the beginning of the rest of your life.

I may be helping Pup with some English language songs, which is more interesting atm.

That's probably because you have narcissistic personality disorder, but I'm ok with that.

I'm sure interested in yours. I may be your first authentic fan.

Superstar.


"Working with Pup," see!....you're an interesting person. Do you tweet!!??

If I do it'll be unnamed. Suits me. They did a gig in London a few months ago (Thai society event) and there's a huge market if an Asian band could crack it singing in English, you must admit. Slot Machine tried but didn't get far.
