Hey, did I really say 'the Bodge' somewhere, or are posters just extracting the Michael tonight?

Re: Things that make your teeth grind
I got told off for using The Penh instead of Phnom Penh years ago, I vaguely remember the rationale was that it is gay and disrespectful, the Bodge is even worse. My pet peeve is the when people who wrote Kymher or Khmai instead of Khmer which I often see from the oversea Khmers.
Anyway, not much of a grind. The married ladies sometimes go to the local market wearing a sarong. One day, while a lady squat down picking out some vegetables a snake fish suddenly jumped out from the shallow net from the next stall and landed inside her sarong; she frantically panicked and made a mess out of the vegetable stall in the process.

Re: Things that make your teeth grind
Loud music by local business's that think it attracts customers(cell phone companies are a big offender), but I found that obnoxious noise/music played back to them on giant alum horn speakers at warp-10 volume does wonders.
I thought the Buddist religion was suppose to be contemplative and tranquil? I have a theory. The monks were killed off and the temples torn down by the bad guys. The present heads of the religion in Cambodia feel they need to generate money to build/restore temples. They have instilled in the population that when you have a wedding/funeral you have to have loud music and lots of monks chanting so that you can show everyone how much money you have and how religious you are, thus generating funds for the temples, so they can build more temples to attract more people with loud noise to pay for more temples to............
I don't remember this level of religious noise in Thailand (or was I just too stoned/drunk to notice?)

Re: Things that make your teeth grind
1. People who are constantly trying to post above their status. Don't get me wrong, an education is great and a wide vocabulary also but, come on, some posters just seem to post the pompous words, not because they form part of their natural vocabulary but simply because they think it elevates them in the readers eyes.
It doesn't, we all have 'Google Search for' and the 'Synonyms' option.
2. Windows 8 - Can't get used to that yet
3. The weather here in Wigan, it is July and pissing down. It might brighten up on 30 minutes but then again it might snow by dinnertime.
4. People who constantly moan and bad mouth Cambodia and its people. If you don't like it move, its a free world, well to a degree
5. Time served world authorities.

Re: Things that make your teeth grind
With you on Windows 8, Ed - seems pointless unless you have a touch screen. Haven't used it on a mobile device but have consumerist friends that swear it's "better than Apple" - not much of endorsement, I know.
What do you mean by "time served world authorities"?
