They admittedly haven't been great... but they are damned when do and damned when they don't.
There are a number of Brits who aren't heeding advice then bitching to the embassy when things don't work out.
Get to PP...
No, I don't feel like it...
(1 week later, lockdown)
Why aren't you helping us get to PP???

Hard to understand how so many people can complain yet are based on the islands whilst still maintaining they are trying to get home.
46 islands, 59 SR, 27 kampot/kep, even 1 in pailin!
Could have travelled to PP anytime in the last 3 weeks.
Now asking for letters from the embassy to pass the checkpoints. My sympathy is dwindling somewhat

Also, Mary Popping would have been a darn sight more efficient than the current fudgels at the Embassy.

That's not one I've heard before!
Fudgel: an eighteenth-century term meaning "Pretending to work when you're not actually doing anything at all."

Yes, a lot of people complaining it is last minute, when did they want it to be? Next month. People crying that if they accept the loan to pay for the flight then their passport will be kept until it is repaid? like WTF do they expect to happen, it to be free? It seems people want the Embassy to be their mother and anyone who has any experience with the British Embassy (who lets face it, are much less well resourced than say the French, German, American or Australian embassies) who expected them to do much let alone magic up a plane to fly them home must have been living in some bizarre fantasy land.
"The British Embassy over here couldn't run a sweet shop at Cadbury's World!" someone cries, maybe, but I'd hate to have any of the shameful, feckless, moaning stranded Brits running anything. They have been told to come to PP and as is pointed out they are still nowhere near being ready to go. As the Embassy suggests, quit whining and suck it up, you are stuck here now or get on this plane.
I think this comment summed it up quite well.

Don't you usually have to book an appointment to visit a British embassy in SEA these days?
Fudgels.

It has been a while since we had a new one.
Pete was an advocate of his CockTrumpet.
I, of course, always championed my own TwatFlannel, but maybe The New World Order requires a new epithet ... ??

Not really novel insults, but this site has seen its fair share of crackers over the years:
KiR described an expat methhead as resembling "what you'd see on a poster for the royal society for the prevention of neglected whippets".
He also described an idiot user named "walk towards the light" as "wank towards the light" - simple, yet effective.
He hated one expat so much that his somewhat obscure surname was auto-corrected to "cuntflaps"; no-one noticed anything until someone posted an article in which said expat was quoted.
Hanky once questioned how a proposed gay cruise along the Mekong would work, suggesting all the glory holes would cause the boat sink.
Playboy has come up with some zingers about NGO staff. His best description of a generic NGO worker was Professor Weird Beard, which somehow holds more true today than when it was coined circa 2006.
