Sherlock is Stumped
I've used all my now legendary powers of deducerising and have come up with diddly sqwat. Got a sms message today from tilak, obviously not her own words, thought initially perhaps copied from a song or poem, maybe off a card. Could it be a thai saying or something budda uttered, famous thai band maybe, but cannot come up with any answer and equally havn't got a clue what it is supposed to mean, can any one conjecture a meaning or come up with the answer.
SMS exactly as received, note think the odd word is missing at the end :- "let my very thought of you be the string pulling over all the horizontal rings, gliding all over your spaces and things, thinking of you of minute of being..... my tirak......" Has she got it out of a christmas cracker? is it a mass mailing excercise and a load of other bm's have got the same message and it only means something to one of us? Help I'm stumped.

Hi IJ, Here you go: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think that sardines will be thrown into the sea" Eric Cantona: 31.03.95
Not bad mate!

Sounds like a greeting card message to me. They copy the messages out of them sometimes, or at least used to and - hang on, got to run, I just got a text

Dodger, maybe she is trying to get a job working for Hallmark Greeting Cards in Thailand as a writer, trying to dream up new poems and stuff for them, and she sent you one of her ideas.

What's worse? Getting dumped by SMS (Text) or dumped by email? Not that I am saying anyone is getting dumped here? It's a language thing, I hope.
I did get an innocent email from my then young son when I was serving in Bosnia saying "Mum is in the back with Uncle Bob!" Who she is now shacked up with! I do miss her

Sorry Denver, to answer your question, I reckon it would be far worse by text as us old codgers would not be able to undestand it 'H sbn gr8 bt u r dmpd ft cnt' and would have to get our kids to interpret.

Denver, sounds like your son was learning the tricks of the trade for his upcoming job with MI5 or MI6. Counter espionage.

it does sound kind of kinky, you better be ready for her in September, Dodger.
Feathers, horizontal rings, pulleys(took a little liberty here), what are you into Dodger? I did not know that Dodger was going out with Tintin's LB. Just joking Dodger.

So far three opinions as to the meaning, IJ reckoned it was sent by Eric Cantona, Denver thinks she is dumping me and Seafox just let his imagination run wild. Decided I would get it straight from the horse (whippers) mouth and sent her an sms.
Let you know if I get an answer that I can decifer.

seems to me like a thai poem from a lady, who´s husband/boyfriend is going far away, maybe as fisherman or merchant. She wants to influence his thoughts, so he is dreaming all time of her, will not forget her or take another wife out in a far land. Could be Shakespeare as well. Did you already a textsearch on Hamlet with this phrase ?!?

Sorry Dodger, Friday afternoon, end of a long week at work and just having some fun. I think I have started to feel a little bit of Denver's crazy influence in some of my posts.
definitely hard to tell what your girl was trying to say and I can understand why you are clueless about this, as so am I. Marc26(Paul) post about thinking that his TG had cleaned him out was funny. I can see that happening and absolutely would be on pins and needles until I found out the truth. I was getting some text messages from a girl in the PI for a while and one time I just had to respond "Please resend in English" as I could not understand what she tried to tell me. The next day I got a text from another number in the PI. Could not figure out who it was until I realised that it was my girl's little sister, 16 year old drop dead stunner, who had sent me the english translation of what my girl had sent to me. Of course her english was a lot better than my tagolog(PI dialect) ever will be. Hope you get an sms back that you can understand.

someone needs to invent a BG sms translator. It would give you a bunch of different options as to what word they were trying to use and then you could plug the choices in to see what would make the most sense.
Like if they said to you "need more Baht" and you thought they wanted you to take a bath and have this image of more fun in the tub but they only need more money. But I would guess that they can pronounce baht pretty well so there would never be a chance for that to happen.

Sounds like something she got out of one of those Thai "Mills and Boon" romance novels. The "my tirak" doesn't fit in with the rest , she probably added it just for you.  If I had to take a guess, I'd say it was something to do with spinning or weaving , maybe a spinning jenny or a loom. Be interested in hearing what reply you get to your sms.

Paul, There is a saying in England "still waters run deep" and another "never judge a book by its cover", I look forward to our next meeting in LOS and maybe cos I now know you and like you, some of what I get up to may be revealed. Its an English thing, British reserve what ol boy!!!. Cos of the fun you are having in Canada that was nearly my next destination instead if LOS, but something just pulled me back to Bangla. I look forward to our next meet and I am sure it won't be too long. And as for loved up, if you are right then you are an american basta*d and know me better than I know myself, if not and I hope if not, then come on Septembers pool party.
