BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Perils fail to deter Thai bride boom
Gotta get my eyes checked - I first read the link as saying PenIs fail to deter Thai bride boom boom  Then again if I were paying the $3000 a year I'd be damned if I wasn't going to get my money's worth one way or the other too!

The picture with the caption, "In the UK, Thai mail order brides have become a subject of ridicule" is absolutely hilarious! Talk about trying to find a picture that proves the point.... ha ha ha
oh dear, I wonder a) if the girl is thai and b) where the heck they found her? avoid, avoid, avoid. the guy could use a little queer eye for the straight guy too...looks like Lenny from Laverne and Shirley.

The photo is from a comedy show in the UK called "Little Britain", and the Thai bride is played by Matt Lucas. Goes by the name "Ting Tong". Yes the show ridicules men who marry thai brides.

Twenty years ago I wish I had just popped over to Thailand for a quick look before I knelt down in front of that................The word would have been *'d out anyway!

Interesting article. It's no wonder guys are flocking to LOS for brides when you look at what their alternatives at home are. Grim, very, very grim best describes the situation for most guys over 40, and it isn't a whole lot better fro the 30-somethings, if they are not very handsome and/or wildly successful themselves.
The one thing in the article that I couldn't understand was this: "There's this 'lad' culture with the ladies in UK these days." What does that mean?  Does it mean the ladies are all chasing the younger men? OR does it mean that the ladies act like men?

Trying to act like men. Binge drinking, fighting, gobby etc. Course, when they get treated like a bloke in return, they dont usually like it.

Chocolate hadn't been invented back in 1977 and especially expensive chocolate. I just like to think that for a 1000 Baht I can get "Anything Ah Waaaant" instead of just throttling her and being out on parole by now........You live and learn Nels, you live and learn! Tch!

1977, you say? I think 15 years old is a bit too young to be proposing marriage. Especially if the girl of your dreams works in a corporate skyscraper!

Actually you are right JB, I met her at 15, joined Army at 16, had a Daughter with a different woman at 18 and married someone else at 19. Then I stopped for a little lie down with a cup of tea and some buttered muffins! The rest as they say............is history.
