  1. The Man Who Wasn't There.
  2. Well I did say there was a guy in front of me did something, and in and out in 10 minutes, but in person. The bar coded slip was given to me on my previous visit. I have perused the online option but I heard a few reports of people having difficulties so a run up the railway line bypass rd undertaken. I wanted to call in at AA Insurance anyhow.
  3. Chinese New Year in the middle of that, although whether that affects VT6 I doubt. Here is a VT6 condo advertised by a BM Not fancy Gabor's place in VT 2?
  4. My friend, you should see a few of the frying pans that get used around the UK, many believe you should never wash the frying pan as you take the goodness out of it! These are of course coal shovels meant for fuelling steam trains, which they still have on the Island! Shit is moved using pitchforks and spades, the long handles they have are rather inconvenient in the confines of a railway station cafe. I suppose they might work for getting pizza out of the ovens. I would also point out that before I 'licked the plate', all the paint was intact, and I was happily knocking back a pint of Okells soon after. The English though, have managed to master cutlery, rather than eating with unwashed fingers.
  5. Mine went swimmingly, and since I have the bar-coded slip no TM47 required. I did have a Homer Simpson 'duh' moment as the guy one in front of me slapped down half a dozen passports for some damned construction company I guess! Nevertheless in and out in 10 minutes and soon after having my back kneaded in a nice cool room. (It has been rather hot lately has it not?). Extension renewal next month, in the midst of peak season, steel yourself jacko!
  6. The boat races are today and tomorrow at the lake. I got a bum steer when I said they were last week. I do hope I did not mislead anyone..apologies.

  7. I couldn't let mine get cold...... Anyone questioning whether I needed a knife and fork better watch it!
  8. Same place mate! Just last May. We gave it a try but I prefer the breakfast in the cafe in the small Market Hall place near the Quay.
  9. Slim Pickens
  10. Well getting out of there to head beach-ward will not be too bad as the Klang traffic is much reduced due to the tunnel work. I used to like The Nova park one bedroom suites (near Jamiesons), but that was many years ago and I cannot vouch for the condition in modern times, and again a little off the beaten track.
  11. Gene Wilder
  12. I had a fry up breakfast served on a shovel last time I was in the UK!
  13. Well not as easy as the PI obviously, but at the moment I don't find it excessively onerous. It is for those much older. I am sure we can all come up with suggestions to make it better (for us). I just wonder if one day they will 'tire' of all us old guys hanging around. Surely they will make it more profitable, ie expensive...... Just reading on Thai Visa how a man's wife was fined a large sum, as she had not submitted TM30s for many years.... just like me and many. The thought of a heavy fine hanging over me (and my belief they do enjoy the windfall) is a little disconcerting.
  14. I think you missed 6 intervening posts.......
  15. Is it not down that St by Foodland? You will be getting motor-cycle taxis down to and from the end of the street. Not very central....... anyhow I suspect you know where it is.
  16. Yellowbeard
  17. The Meaning of Life
  18. I always let them pass, then I can fall in behind them and try to keep up.
  19. The Life of Brian
  20. Yes I think I saw some UK Tea Bags in there myself but they were past their sell by date. I usually get by with what I bring on my own trip in the summer, supplemented by scrounging off keyman when he comes out in winter. He actually brought me 2 big packets last year, rather more than my needs. I don't have 6 cups a day here like I do in the UK, more likely 1 or 2.
  21. Wayne's World
  22. I am somewhat amazed that it even worked, and un-amazed that it was totally ignored.
  23. Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery.
  24. Seems to be moving along well! Quite sure the underpass will need to be able to handle trucks and coaches..... but you have given me an idea for a future sweepstake. How long after opening will a vehicle over the height restriction take to hit the tunnel roof?
  25. Yes, you can pop into soi 6 afterwards or have something to eat at Simple Simon!
