  1. The Big Sleep
  2. What, no Peruvians..... You guys need to get out more.
  3. The strange looking....Peter Lorre
  4. Kirk Douglas
  5. Those are different nationalities.....? Now UK guys, don't forget England, Scotland, Wales......
  6. Perhaps the grand plan is to get them to move back to India.....
  7. Aha, a chance to go back in time.....Peter Ustinov
  8. Kind of strange, here I am in Pattaya listening to my local UK radio station and over there you guys listen to Pattaya One...
  9. The rules for non-residency these days are nigh on impossible. You really have to sever all ties, down to bank accounts. They are very quick to deem you non-resident for National Health services though. Whilst working overseas I have made some effort to ensure I still qualify for a full pension, but more recently they seem to deliberately be obtuse. I wish I had put the payments into the bank rather than the black hole known as the IRS.
  10. The 350 baht fare is Pattaya to Bangkok, and includes pick up at your Pattaya hotel and drop off at your Bangkok one. More distance, messing about getting to your Bangkok hotel, more price.
  11. Our mutual Stokie friend brought me a lump of your cheddar, and I think it is better than the last lot.Red Leicester sounds tempting.....
  12. Well this chap was in all of them..... Michael York
  13. The Silence of the Lambs
  14. The Bounty
  15. Yes I won 120 bahtr on that one at 6-1 outsider!
  16. Charlie's Angels
  17. Yes, if it was over 5% in the USA wouldn't it have to be called Malt Liquor and hence appeal to a completely different group? Chang's claim in LOS of 6.4% is +/- a bit...
  18. There is often a small scale buffalo racing session out by Lake Mabprachan (Soi Siam Country Club) near the temple. If I remember it occurs during the Long Boat races late November.
  19. Toys
  20. The Outlaw Josey Wales
  21. Sam Mig Lite most of the time.... Leo over ice in restaurants and at home in the evening. Whatever beer is on special from a bottle during Happy Hours. eg Tiger Lite in NLD1 during the happy hour because their cheapies does not include SML.
  22. Little Big Man
  23. Robert Redford
  24. Tempted to say Polanski who like Hitchcock sometimes showed his face in his pics....but let's keep moving and say.. Faye Dunaway
  25. It most certainly is an option.......and good question.I think it was once a valid tax avoidance method, the perpetual traveller! I also know quite a few people who live like this, and would be able to up-and-off if needs arise. Obviously renting. My work life was like that, dragging 2 heavy bags all over the world and living in little boxes with noisy people bouncing off the corridor walls at 3am! But I don't call it living.........and I say I because I look for some more comfortable alternative to what I did for many years during a working life. Another man who tolerated a miserable marriage for 20 years in his semi may well prefer your option. I can vouch for the freedom of not having children, both the physical and financial!
