ThaiguyinGlasgow will graduate with a Masters in Sub Sea University at a ceremony beginning at 2.00 p.m. on November 8th. Before he attends the ceremony, he has to report to Glasgow Sheriff Court as a witness to a mugging. A busy day ahead for him.  |

Hope its not a masters in O&G sub sea ?....maybe not the right time to be looking for a job, know a Thai lad who had the same from Strathclyde, found 12 months work off the bat maybe 2 years ago and hasnt worked since, the bit of paper is ok, but employers are not taking on "trainees" at moment, maybe check back tail end 2017 into 2018 |

He's going to have to look elsewhere for a job. |

Congratulations. I heard he also got a distinction in drinking and blethering as a result of extra curricular training 👍

LMFAO! Hilarious. Never mind well done to the young Somchai, a degree doesnt have an expiry date, it can be a passport to anyhwere. Also dispels the myth posted elsewhere about these Thai lads being nothing more than hammock swingers. Anyhow onto more serious matters, how many pints can he shift on a session? |

He's not bad - eight pints plus before he moves on to the vodka. Although he did bail on the 35 pint session I had with Des for my birthday. Entertaining these days when Smokie appears - I always get the following message - "I'm comin' doon, but I don't want one of these all night sessions. None of your 20 pint crap." Lightweight. |

Thaiguy struggled for a few months with his thesis, he couldn't get to the bottom of a problem formula - got their in the end. I think he got a first? Or a distinction? I'll ask him.
Another Thai girl, Melissa, passed her Masters in a business related course, she returned to Thailand in September. However:
A third girl, Natalie, had someone send in her application as her English was woeful. Whatever way it worked out, she was accepted to the course - and she was immediately found out. Next thing I was getting bombarded with "homework," that I had to rewrite for her into intelligible English.
The three of them were at my place for dinner when I informed them - "this university will fail you, don't rely on being nodded through. In fact, they will start kicking people out soon ( they did )."
Panic stations from Natalie as her family had committed almost 2 million baht to support her. My prescription for her? Stop reading Thai, stop talking Thai. Read, read, read English, and integrate with English speakers. The other two are fluent and they said they'd talk English to her.
Motivated, she was fluent in English in four months, and she also got her Masters, but I don't know at what grade. Anyone you know that's heading to the West and have poor language skills - read, read, read.

To be fair my record lately hasn't been bad seeing I am in semi retirement. |
