The short answer is no, but we may be talking at cross purposes here, unless you know of Bangkok Phil and his website. If not, google the name and have a look.CHAZ wrote:Were you not Bangkok Phil before??

This post from Chaz has to be far and away the most intelligent and insightful comment I've ever read on any forum, and I insist it be recognised as post of the year.CHAZ wrote: I was convinced it was you as the guy is also in education and the website seemed to have your wit..but nevermind as your Just a Glimpse is a great read and all your other posts...!
Thanks - makes sense now. Ajarn Terry was someone referred to on Ajarn Phil's website, so I assume he's another local English teacher.Ajarn Philip wrote:Jo, "Ajarn" doesn't quite translate literally - in the context of my work it means teacher or professor (it doesn't apply to schoolteachers), but it can also be guide, or master in a spiritual sense - the best example I can give is from Kung Fu (the 70s TV series) - remember Glasshopper talking to the blind old wise man? He called him 'Master' - if he'd been speaking Thai, he'd have called him 'Ajarn'. (Who is Ajarn Terry?).
