Dear editor,
I am a fan of Chiangmai Mail despite the fact that
some sections surely do not catch everybody’s general interest. You can
not please them all but…
Your book reviewer Lang Reid did it again. Another
‘GoGo Bar review’ with the excuse of poetry, again from that dreadful
author Dean Barret (sic). Even though Lang Reid claims that it is not
his cup of tea, he never fails to review anything which comes near the
chrome pole scene. He even goes so far to agree in his pompous ways of
writing that he also refuses to fly on budget airlines until they buy a
watch for the pilot … what does this has to do with a book review? Does he
think he is funny?
Sorry, but firstly we couldn’t care less with which
airline you are flying, secondly I am sure that all of us have faced delays
of airlines which do not belong to the budget category, but rather call
themselves ‘national carriers’, representing their respective country.
And one more thing: why not tell Lang Reid that people who have the limited
intelligence which belongs to a Dean Barrett reader, do not belong to the
target group of Chiangmai Mail?
Thank you and keep up your otherwise great work.
Dennis van der Bergen
Lang Reid replies – I must admit I was unaware the ‘target group’ was
so narrow minded! I will write out “I must try not to be pompous” 100
times, but at least I do know how to spell Barrett’s name!
