Thai forum posters: Real life and online differences

[DJ Pat]

REVEALED! SECRETS OF SOME OF THE MOST PROLIFIC FORUM CHARACTERS!

I must hold the world record for meeting online folk off ajarnforum. Today I will spill the beans on a select few I have the (dis)pleasure of meeting.

Bangkok Phil: Online, he's the expert, old hand, know it all, been-there-done-that kind of bloke who usually offers an unbiased no-nonsense opinion on all things Thai. his former website, BangkokMouth.com was the definitive A to Z. Shame it's gone.
Unlike the snobbish cu*ts like Stickman and those on thaivisa.com, Phil gives an honest assesment of what he sees and is not blinded by cheap sexual conquests (well, he doesn't let on to that anyhow) and the 'night before' syndrome.

In person, he's polite, affable, and a good guy to have a beer with. Went to see the Pretenders and Bryan Ferry with the man in 2004.

LDMA: Nice bloke online, not malicious or snobby but honest and often clumsy in that shoot-yourself-in-the-foot kind of way, he's a nice genuine guy in person, who is often misunderstood. A few beers later and he's your best mate.

Kenkannif: Online, he's full of useless posts such as 'LOL' and 'yeah mate' and he often mistakes ajarnforum for a chatroom. This boosts his post count and keeps whatever arrangement text and talk have with ajarn.com intact. Has a habit of 'befriending' newbies with the sole intention of flogging them a TEFL course of which he will gain a commision. After all, he's a salesman.

In person, he's a bit of a miserable grouch who never leaves the house. His alcohol intake is also legendary.
Otherwise, a great bloke.

Aging one: The wise old hand, both online and in person. If Thai forums had a Jesus type of character (minus the wig) he'd be it. Great man to have beers with, shame he's always gotta disappear before midnight to get back home to a family.

Dirty dog: Met the man (or The Sloth?) a few times for breakfast in Pattaya at that gaff next to the corner of Tepprasit Road, that does a selection of continental breakfasts complete with handjob off the waiteress for 39 Baht. Also bothered him for a towel once when I forgot mine at Jomtiem Beach and he gladly obliged with a sandpaper textured thing no bigger than a flannel.

Online, he was a bastard when on ajarnforum in the old days, and rightly so, as the place was as sterile as a tranvestites privates during an operation, got himself booted off and started this place as we now know it.

Smeg: You all know about us pissing in Siam Square, so what else is there to share?

Lily: Online, comes across as a bitter, sex staved old horror bag who has to pay young Thai men to have sex with her. Pays the surcharge they insist for the blindfold.
In person, much the same.

Wally Raffles: Fun loving Aussie who has no real axe to grind with other posters, and in real life we shared many Japanese meals, barbeques on his balcony, drunken chats at Big Johns and many get togethers with his band of oddball mates with fetishes.

Marmite: Online he's a smarmy wannabe old hand but his sole knowledge of things Thai stretches no further than crap website design and avoiding pubs that don't serve Old Speckled Hen.
In person it couldn't be a more different story. Great man, a bit tall and carrying a spare tyre around the midriff, he's a great laugh.

Harry Palmer: Online he's a pest who trolls all things utterly ridiculous, and believes his own hype. In person he's a wannabe Walter Mitty who's paranoid about being seen by other posters. I met the man in Soho, London about 5 years ago and shared two hours of talking utter bollocks with him.

Captain Sensible: A big kid with no friends online, he's identical in person. Apart from the odd liason with an old whore, he has no personality or charm in the rare company of other males.

Coming next, more liasons with my fellow posters, including:

Jarvis, Jonah!, Ijustwannateach, LoyToy, BkkAndrew, Eric C, 8 Ball, Marko, plus more....

[Butterfly]

Ijustwannateach

BkkAndrew

[DJ Pat]

Ijustwannateach

BkkAndrew

you met that nutter ?

Both liasons were fun, the latter being fifty times as horribly drunk as the first.

[barbaro]

How come I never get included in these?

I never, am in included.

[Mr Brown]

^ I thought this was you milky

Because we've never met.


















Have we?

what, then, is the relevance of posting this crap here...

[Begbie]

The Gentleman's Camp ? what about him eh ..?

[Mr Brown]

I've met you

I'm not a prolific poster however

[DJ Pat]

Mr. Brown : A nice tolerable bloke who allowed his pub to become overrun with International school students getting pissed on a pint of Tiger beer. Hence my patronage to such an establishment. All those nights listening to that Indian Johnny English bloke onstage has blunted his judgements however, and seeing him struggling to stand up on the skytrain was fun.

Nice bloke.

[Mr Brown]

I should be the one thanked for getting rid of him, you'd never believe how much he was getting paid

[Bangyai]

Bloooody hell ! Didn't realise anyone could be that sociable !

Mind you, on my budget, a trip to the nearest 7 / 11 is a wild night out

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

The trouble with Forum pissups is that halfway through the evening everyone always pairs up and goes off to short time hotels.

[kingwilly]

Pairs up? I have it on good authority that only one female went to the last TD pissup...

[dirtydog]

^The bow legged one?

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

Where did I say 'female'.

[dirtydog]

You poor bastard pat, you've really met some cocks

[DJ Pat]

You poor bastard pat, you've really met some cocks

I've met dozens more as well.

[November Rain]

^ Isn't that Butterfly's line?

[Fabian]

BkkAndrew

you met that nutter ?

I have met him too as have a few others with me, I think.
He seemed quite normal (for an englishman).

[barbaro]

How come I never get included in these?

I never, am in included.

Because we've never met.


















Have we?

No, we have not, sir.

Nevertheless, all the best to you.

[Mr Brown]

It's sand that sends him a bit off coof

[FlyFree]

Why do people wanna meet forum posters? Sex?

[nidhogg]

Why do people wanna meet forum posters? Sex?

Sure. 95% of the posters who say they are male on this board, are in fact hot asian chicks into the whole group sex scene. Board meet ups are, well, awesome. Of course - don't tell anyone as this is a big secret.

[baldrick]

I have it on good authority that only one female went to the last TD pissup...

what miniscule credibility you had left , munkeyroids , is now gone

obviously you also lack the ability to count as the group photo would given you a correct number.

you could have counted the number of breasts , taken away the number of manboobs , and then divided by 2
