Happy Sad


This weekend's Guardian portrayed the grim reality of the Thai paradise. Sex and murder. Lust mistaken for love. A fortune lost by a naive farang. This story is repeated ad infinitum without anyone ever learning from the mistakes of others.

To err is human. To err all the time is more human.

The Guardian's Andrew Drummond reports that thousands of marriage requests are processed annually by the UK's visa section in Bangkok. Most do not end up as badly as the misfortune Briton slain by his Thai wife and her lover, but happy endings in bed rarely translate into happy endings in love, however the same could be said for marriage in the UK.

A good percentage end up in divorce with the woman getting everything for her low-life husband.

But at least the British hags don't kill their ex-s.

On another note gay marriage divorce rates in the UK are near-zero.

Give them time.
