More reflections on Boyztown's future

[Oliver2]

I agree with goji but there's one aspect that seems particularly true of Boyztown's recent history. The Copa all night parties of a few years ago were for the benefit of a handful at the expense of the many, whose evenings and nights were disrupted. LCR's karaoke nights (and mornings) of a couple of years back featured an even smaller group of drunken guys bellowing into their microphones while the rest of us were denied sleep. And now BBB's outdoor parties for their staff now dominate the Panorama corner and make conversation nigh- on impossible.
What's wrong with doors? twenty years ago, there was loud music in many more venues but it was not disruptive because the doors were kept shut.

funny...every now and then we get a whole lot of propaganda about thailand and Buddhism and karma and how peaceful and welcoming and nice and looking after the poor and accommodating and considerate the whole society is...unlike the nasty christian western world they come from...so whats gone wrong here??/

Boyztown like Soi Twilight is all but gone as is Sunee and Chiang Mai....only Jomtien Complex thrieves with farangs 60+ and fem boys with the exception of 3 bars with Cambodian boys....this too shall change as immigration is only offering the Cambodians at this moment 2 week visas.

I agree with most of what you wrote above except about "The Fems". When I visit Jomtien I always stay at The Venue so my steps down from That Place and out into the Complex takes about 3 seconds ... and I hang out in That Place each night I spend there. I see no more of "The Fems" within the Complex than any other grouping of gay bars in Thailand.

The UK TV station Channel 4 broadcasts lots of series in non-English languages in its Walter Presents strand. Most of them are sub-titled rather than dubbed, so you hear the original language being spoken. It is noticeable that most of the foreign languages featured do incorporate a surprising number of individual English words or even whole phrases. It seems especially true of the Nordic languages - Swedish and Danish in particular seem to have incorporated quite a bit in the way of English slang expressions into their everyday speech.

Oh no! What is this "deleted" thingy, mon cheri!?

You are letting me down, Francois, just as I was beginning to hold you in highest esteem, even higher than Google Chrome, and it's built in Auto Correct feature (I am lazy, and often have it turned Off, as you have noticed, and pointed out to me and others, as you correct the many typos that slip through).
In even higher esteem, than Windows Word, and it's built in spell check! That's highest praise possible, Francois!

This is a sad day, an unfortunate surrender from someone usually so brave, someone who does not hesitate to write post after post, (single sentences posts, no less), in order to point out fellow SGT member's spelling errors. AND typos! A valuable service to all, something that requires vigilance, and patience!
It would be only too easy to go through fellow SGT member's post, discover a typo, and just move along. That's what a coward would do! Man of courage would take that typo, and MAKE A POST OUT OF IT! A hero in my book!

You know, Francois, I have heard people call French "surrender monkeys", and similar
disparaging expressions. It is really unfortunate, and nothing could be further from the truth! French may have surrendered to Germany during WWII, unlike rest of Europe, but one thing is for sure, and I can attest to it right here and now - the bravest typo warrior on internet, who I've ever come across, is a brave Frenchman!

While lesser boards, Thai Visa Forum, for example, have a policy of deleting posts that correct typos and spelling errors, posters who practice it are called "grammar nazis", they receive a warning for first offence, and suspension after the second offence, these boards consiser it spam, we at SGT recognizes the valuable service to this board.

Be proud, François! Don't take any of this surrender monkey crap, keep resisting!!

Fracois, you know it's the gerefan2 with us, again, you do, don't you! Best ignored!

Mon ami, I expect nothing less than a dedicated post, pointing out numerous grammar errors by gerefan2. A curious case of two (or is it three?) missing commas, a mystery! The fact that gerefan2 is your friend should not be grounds for granting him a pass.

Do not try, and add any thoughts and opinions of your own, that would be breaking character!

Three Dots, a trade mark of latintopxxx, should not be counted as grammar error, a plagiat, at most.

I agree.
