  2. And I hope SML...... But this is good....... shall I bring my Expats Club membership card, or my phone bill or driving licence or just wear the uniform, Singha vest, baggy shorts and sandals with white socks!
  3. Robert Englund
  4. Johnny Depp
  5. I have always thought finding 'peace and quiet' in Thailand was a forlorn hope. Neighbours dogs, soi dogs, temples and loudspeaker systems running around the village (4am-5, monks chanting, 5am-6, volume up and connected to some ring in program on Buddhist matters). I moved out of town to get away from bars and Karaoke, but the easiest village solution is go to bed early too!
  6. Another of those films always on HBO or Showtime when I was in the USA... with Joe Pantoliano
  7. Good idea, and in 4 or 5 years I will have saved enough for a beer in a GGB.....or maybe not, as who knows what the price will be by then.
  8. I don't get up when I first wake, perhaps I should to rescue your thumbs. Yes maybe restocking my fridge is taking too long, bugger the water and soft drinks, just do the beer, should get the job down to an hour and a half! Pappy is his own man (as far as I know), and will continue when he can.....
  9. Yes I know many who do that, but I have shied away from doing it. I heard once that they are difficult to cancel, you would need the permission of the Electricity Authority. So the 7-11 for me, despite the 10 baht charge!
  10. Yes exactly right....up early, fridge restocked.... cup of coffee being positioned by the laptop about when Mixx is chucking out. Tap-tap-tap I go, being pithy fuelled by O'Reilly in the background. And when my computer shows devoid of 'Unread' posts I look at my pool, thinking time for the daily exercise. I might pop back later, after the swim and shower, to see if I have generated any hate mail, correct any possible over-enthusiastic responses of mine (those posts I spewed forth before the coffee went around), and fix any spelling errors...horror upon horrors. I vainly hope I kick start the morning for others too.
  11. Are you saying they didn't use the motorway (No7) , nor the elevated road on Hwy 3. Sri Racha is a bad bottleneck and I can't imagine staying at ground level down what is effectively Sukhumvit! (The last one I used went down 7, came off before Chonburi and was soon up on the elevated Rd West of the motorway... we made it quite quickly.)
  12. I spent a lot of time in Orlando area, based at Siemens HQ near the U of Central Fl. Good area for bikers.
  13. Ah perhaps that explains the trip to the soapy? Exactly what the guys would need after a spell there! I had business in Jomtiem and ended up in a MP nearby, desperate for air-conditioning and a shower and rub down after riding around on my bike in the sun. It is a bit soon in the season but I am hoping for a break in the heat. I hope the soapy went well. Hey OP... nothing personal, just the rather strange SOH we Brit guys have.
  14. Reese Witherspoon.
  15. Ah the green shoes picture, it certainly has been doing the rounds and has popped into my Inbox several times already.
  16. He just wanted to quote I guess in fear of my tweaking it later. Which I do sometimes....
  17. Areca has a lot of construction at the back anyhow. How about Queen Vic on Soi 6?
  18. A day out with all your mates....... hence the motorcycle?
  19. It's that time of year to go to places with AC that's for sure!
  20. Nope, sometimes I roll my ass on it, but I reserve that for better input.
  21. This is an example of what you get when I roll my head around on my keyboard. bhvgbhrfcdvbol,pol,kivfrgcedxwsyghu8ij6t5edwsxwzedxuijk
  22. I spend more time keeping the sun off me and my house than you would believe and would truly welcome the shade! Do you have dog or are you a collector? Not heard from Pappy yet, I think yesterday was one of his 'high' nights.
  23. It wouldn't be a problem for me as you would be at least 50 yards away! (PS, I have no dogs, no kids and do not play loud music so you could do worse!)
