handy(?) mnenomic for thai numbers

On a sunny day, a thai girl called Nueng sings about a sailor called Sam.

0 on a SUNnny day
1 NUENG
2 sang a SONG
3 about SAM
4 going to SI (sea)

More surreally, Alan Partridge urges the selling of a faulty jet.

5 aHA!
6 HOK (sell)
7 that JET
8 it`s (part) BPAET
9 COW

Sorry been out but what the feck is this thread all about?????????????

Makes me think of cousin denpars bestest effort at speaking thai.

He gets confused between sam and song, heck there is always only three of us and then pops in to 7-11 and asks for 'song tiger?????????????????

Thai service person, 'do you want 1 or 2 packet of Bensons, Khun Denpar????'

Oh yeah!!! not a bar is it??????

Not knocking the "mnenomic" but I have to pull out my usual soap box....for those of us who seem to end all sentences with the word "Mate", speak through our noses and say "No Worries" when a Thai would say "Mai bpen lai" and have an accent that others regard as "Australian"..the numbers are as follows

0 soon
1 nueng (our sharp "n" as in "nong")
2 song
3 sam
4 see
5 har (not "ha", it is a longer sound for us)
6 hock
7 jet
8 bad (say "bad" think "bed")
9 gow
10 sip
11 sip et
12 sip song
13 sip sam and so on till 20.....
20...yee (as in "ye old england") sip
21 ..yee sip et and again so on...Enjoy.

I would say I was never one for those kind of reminders but..

Back in the first week of seconadary school we had a music lesson.. And there the (young cute female) teacher to get us to remember the EGBDF music lines told us first the dull one (which I promptly forgot) but also that Every Girls Breasts Deserve Feeling..

I took that lesson deeply to heart.. And still remember my treble clef scale to this day

We went to a posh school where it was "Every Good Boy Deserves Football" the other dots in the middle of the line was FACE.

The Radio Resistor Colour Code was a good one when I first joined up as a Radio Tech: "Bye Bye Rosie On You Go to Birmingam Via Great Western"

Amazing what crap sticks! I've just remembered Flemings left hand rule as well! You never know when it might come in handy!!!!

I bet Simbo can remember the 4 marksmanship principles! 5555555

Need coffee!

Worst I ever heard. The only ones that are right are 4 and 7, and perhaps 2, as well, if you were asking a question when you said it? Song?. A Thai wouldn't have a clue what you were on about!

My teacher was a geeky young guy, so I remember the standard bit, "Every Good Boy Does Fine!"
