I believe so.I hear various Fish and Chip shops or places for Fish and Chips being recommended but to be honest it is a meal 'off my list' now for some time. For exactly the reason you suggested.....good old cod, or grouper is expensive and something cheap gets substituted in many places and you end up with some insipid mush inside the batter. I like the meaty flakes of grouper, but even at my Thai restaurant, where I used to have a freshly killed whole one steamed I am less likely to order it due to the way the price has gone. The snapper is inferior.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of pickles, relish, cheese, ketchup and the likes. I appreciate that minced beef in the USA is good stuff ground up, rather than how it is in the UK..... often fat and trimmings get tossed in. Likely the local meat is fed differently, although the odd burger I have had here I haven't had an issue....I liberally add Lea and Perrins!

My last UK one was a 'Sunday lunchtime special'........I thought it strange thing to have instead of roast lamb and mint sauce but it was a social gathering. It was a good price...any starter....any main...one bread or rice extra thing, excepting prawn dishes.It seemed reasonable I think at about £15/head, but the beer wasn't cheap and they certainly gave you plenty of time to drink it. Packed with kids too.... rather have the roast lamb and then go down the pub.

Most burgers I had in the USA there was so much other shit in there I couldn't taste the meat!

Can you in McDonalds at home?

I am guessing he wasn't there at the time.I wouldn't consider the PBG as a breakfast place. I am also sure it is difficult to get good staff here, and they have a penchant for just not turning up when they don't feel like it. They also don't react well to criticism. I don't envy Pete trying to run this business, bad reputation comes instantly and good has to be built up slowly. Every now and again a bad report for PBG comes in and Pattaya Pete gets back to herding cats.

A courgette might have worked better!

Have no experience with FedEx but DHL have delivered to my house quite a number of times. I used to get lost trying to find the place when I was thinking to buy. Also I am in Banglamung..... Once they phoned ahead to make sure I would be in, which struck me as sensible. Admittedly Thai postal addresses are confusing....well the number part anyhow.... and I do think your bar could be awkward at daytime..... the shops take over, the noodle seller parks up and suddenly you are invisible without the neon. I presume the delivery guy couldn't read English very well?

Just got December's bill, (and likely a few other neighbour's looking at the amount)......4.5 baht/unit.......745 units. It is reaching about 34 degC here and if I am at the house in the afternoon I retreat into AC! Even ran the one in the lounge one evening....the beast! Oh yeah,the pool boy left my pump control in 'hand' and it was the following evening before I noticed. Water is well cleaned, as is my wallet! Have to start sitting in the mall with the other sad fucks. Paradise don't come cheap!

To be honest it has put me off Air Asia and the like. I would mostly get a taxi to the airport or drive myself as I don't live central. Re-introducing the uncertainty of how long it will take to traverse Bangkok is like going back to the 80's.As to faffing around via Moe chit, it isn't going to happen for me......

I often think the same about the cheap draft offers. I haven't made it into Private Dancer yet on a curry night, I might chase around town for a Happy Hour where my preferred drink is going cheap, but eating late on top of several beers is something that would likely have me snoozing in a corner. (slippers please....) Ricky knows what he is doing though.... or perhaps he is feeding his own fantasy.

It was dead last time I looked.

Is that submarine still doing pleasure dives in the bay or did it sink?

And my thoughts are, pass some blame to the system that allowed her to purchase them in the first instance. Her responsibility is far from absolute, most goes to the son, some goes to whoever sold the weapons to her. She isn't a qualified psychiatrist and it is far from unusual for a mother to give undeserved support of her offspring. I believe she was planning to have him committed which put him over the edge. I am sure many legal weapons are not secure in homes around the USA, as it would partly defeat the reasons for having them...shit I have seen them in cars and being carried in public, hardly secure!

I hide the boxes of tissues when I have visitors..... is that bad manners? I keep ketchup bottles with just an inch left for when they come too...I mean some people are just greedy....and it is an insult to the Mrs cooking to lather ketchup on her efforts. Some of the tricks CCs get up to are beyond belief...... filling your pockets from the breakfast buffet, and taking all the little bottles and sachets from the bathroom.
