Post by lomuamart »

Company sources are saying that Chaleo Yoovidhya passed away today. He was around one of the richest men in the world:

I know English is not your strong suit but I am dying to ask which of the richest men he was around ;)
My mind wandered and never came back :(

Forbes magazine says he was #205 in the world on their list of billionaires and #3 in Thailand.

I am not saying he was not rich merely having a little joke at the way it was worded:

"He was around one of the richest men in the world"

Knew I should not have bothered trying to inject a little humour here :(

Well, the word "around" was mine but as I was rushing out, that had to do.
Sorry about the Swalihi, I'll try to spell Engish better next time.
Chok sii.
