farang

Even if you can speak no other words of Thai, most European and American visitors to Thailand will quickly become familiar with the Thai word farang (often mispronounced (even by Thais) as falang - farang with a slightly trilled 'r' is the correct pronunciation.) It's basically used to describe caucasians, though African-Americans will sometimes also be known as farang or as farang dam ('black farang').

1965 birth year

I started here under the name of Blueboy777uk and after a similar thread to this someone suggested the name of Darkblueboy, a reference to DBW obviously. I liked it and changed it!

My avatar is a composite I created in Photoshop. It is based on the old Airfix "Dogfight Doubles" model kits, which I loved as a child. I skinned the Jetbomber to look like an IL-28 and tried to make the F-100 look like an Israeli Mystere. All just for fun and taught me a lot about how franken planes work in regards of skins!



Glad to see many people contributing as there are so many I have often wondered about myself. Real interesting thread and hope everyone posts!

[shyrsio]

well this is going to be a bit embarrassing...

when i was in high school, i conceived and draw a manga comic with a friend of mine. it was about samurais and stuff (blushing). i wanted the names to be original but also to have a Japanese flavor. so for the main character I came up with this: "shyrsio"
which ironically is a scramble from the names "Hiryu" and "Soryu" (dragon names in japanese). i say ironically because i had no interest in ww2 back then.

I have to say its a very comfortable name to use in forums since you wont get any "this name is already taken" notice.

About the picture: its the roundel used by the Albanian Military Air Force during the comunist era, the time when we used to have quite a fearsome air force in the Balkans

[Xjrtaz]

Phas3e
Luvly motor there matey!

[pilotpimpf]

Pilot is obvious and pimpf is German for a colloquial name for a boy before the voice change, thats long changed now , I'm even a proud father now !!!

Pimpf also means a young inexperienced person , what I was when I started flying the demo of this many years ago..
Der Pimpf was the Nazi magazine for boys, particularly those in the Deutsches Jungvolk, with adventure and propaganda and this is where a lot of young people got the urge to fly, gliders firstly (done that ) then the Luftwaffe called!
Just like any young boys magazine or comic with pictures of daring do in the air.

As a lad I always made Airfix models of the German planes because they had fancy badges whereas Spits and Hurris where very plain and boring.
So a long time interest in the Luftwaffe and then Pha3e beautiful artwork on my favourite aircraft clinched the avatar.

Bit more experienced now thankfully , a lot less crashes.....LOL
