  1. I use this when rain threatens.
  2. A stroll down soi 7 or 8 normally reveals a few 'Bar For Sale' signs.
  3. Damn the pool needs pumping out again!!!!

  4. Juliette Lewis
  5. Woody Harrelson
  6. Start here?
  7. Was watching him on UK TV in Peaky Blinders Cillian Murphy
  8. Here is a picture and more detail if MM can forgive me posting a Stickman link.
  9. What you 'EXPECT' and what the reality is are often at odds here. My info came from my experience and the dlt .gov site, as linked above.
  10. There is the music festival every year, some big name Eastern bands get here.... Thai, Korean etc. Three stages along the beach rd.
  11. Why would that bother me? Dear dear, you have passed that point... time for bed said Zebedee.
  12. I have done..... rather a few good comments came forth from those with better demeanours. A pool isn't a bad start is it? Do you wash in the enamel sink with a flannel straight over the dirty dishes?
  13. You know not what! It is sad when you have to go around chasing those who obviously are living a better life than you. Now please excuse me, I need to pump last night's rain out of the pool, later my gardener will arrive and tidy the place up. The rainy season sure makes things grow. Good luck in the London derby tomorrow.
  14. Brendan Gleeson.
  15. So we have the lads meeting up at FLB for a booze up and possible GGB crawl on Friday night. And a coffee morning for the ladies..... As to men, either they drink, or they used to, really used to.
  16. Shit, someone got in before me.... Mel Gibson then.
  17. Plus paying for useless insurance too then.... I hadn't grasped that he was scrounging for donations though....
  18. Perhaps they are not enamoured by the idea, it is a strange mix. I feel inclined to wonder if it is like the strip club comedian, a diversion, a moment to heckle and have fun, but in reality everyone wishes he would hurry up and get off and bring back the bimbos! GGBs used to have 'shows'. In Nana plaza these were something you looked forward to and even planned to get to in time... , a group of 10-12 good looking girls getting it off and getting it on, something to arrive early for, get your stage side sniffing seat and cold brew and await with anticipation.
  19. No...... Perhaps for a coyote in some places. 620 baht at Superbaby.... odd amount.
  20. Perhaps you renewed from 1 year to 5 year? Sinkorswim has been around a while and I presumed it would be 5 year to 5 year.
  21. Well suppose a1 year extension isn't the same as a 10 year Visa as Thailand isn't the same as the USA! ( I too carried 2 passports stapled together as I had a 10 year USA visa)
  22. You do realise how much consternation you are causing here don't you?
  23. Sue's place is a restaurant??????? I thought of it only last night as I passed by on Beach Rd........ It was always a good stopping point on the way back from WS to find a good companion and have a last drink. It was like the Wonderful Bar without live music. My last visit was also some time back and I got annoyed as the girl was cheating at that roll-dice flip numbers-over game in order to get me to bar-fine her as a side bet. Thanks for the education..... a Mexican restaurant eh?
  24. Sorry, I don't buy into your rant. Here in Thailand they do check up to see if they can get out of paying up.......pre-existing conditions obviously a main factor. I felt so wary of 'lying on the form' and hence invalidating any possible claims...which makes the taking up of insurance asinine, I decided on a more basic policy with declared pre-existing, with the fall back of money in the bank for emergencies. Many medical insurances offered in Thailand are with international companies whose tentacles reach afar! I don't believe in fraud either. Jesus aside. I would say he is being rather narrow minded if he thinks that small complications are so likely in Thailand, more so than travelling without prior treatment. MM has first hand experience.
  25. Was it an expediency 'tip'....I am quite sure it should be free?
