Bill, How dare you ! I wasn't 15 'till 13 February 1962. Much younger ! I was a Butcher's Boy, same trades bike, small wheel in front, wheiged a ton loaded. 1963 was my first winter in a shop, bloody cold, used to pop into the fridge for a warm. Tell kids that nowadays, they won't believe you !

Robo' Nah, he was about 45, big fat git, hands like a bunch of bananas. Into ringing stolen cars, Duty free booze and fag runs over the Channel etc. The bloke you described, could be me. ( minus the tatoos)

Yep, I left school at 15. Worked for 41 years. I too, would rather get by on my Company Pension. I will not pay a penny more N.I. Before I retired, I attended a seminar for advise among other things, on what to expect from the government at 65. We were told that to qualify for a full pension, we needed to have paid NI contributions from age 16- 55. There is a 3 year holiday allowed in that time. My payments age 15-16 don't count. Now, we are told there is a pension crisis and don't take your state pension for granted. When I think of all the taxes I have paid since 1962, f

On my last trip, met a bloke on the beach. He was bragging, that he got invalidity benefit for an injured hand, housing benefit and the old Rock and Roll too. He had just bought 6 shirts from a vendor, was covered in gold jewelrey, so was his pregnant Thai GF. Boasted about his criminal activities, then walked off towards the Dogs Bollocks Bar. Well, at least he was English I suppose.

Maybe, they watch BBC World News and have seen that London bus fares have gone from 70p (60bht) to 120p (90bht) in less than a year, soon to be 140p. Our Mayor, will certainly get London back on it's feet. As you say Alan " I'm not a tourist, you know "

Right, next time, I wear a bloody mask. I won't be able to show my face in FLB. Good job my dick is covered. ( COVERED IN WHAT I'M NOT SURE ).

Is this the Sawadee Hotel, next to the Sports Bar, owned by the Leeds United fan ? I think his name is Gary.

Have been to LOS 15 times in 4 years. In that time I met several Ferangs who live there, have bars etc. My simple conclusion is, home is where you earn your money, Los is where you spend it. Trying to reverse that situation is bloody hard. Thailand is a poor Country, why do you think the large majority of their women, dream of marrying a Ferang ? But do try before you buy.

Yep, you need a foreigner with a bottomless amount of cash to stay in the English top football hierachy. The English Premier, is becoming as interesting as the Scotish. A choice of 2 or 3 clubs winning the championship every year. Come on the Hammers! Brentford got turned over and I had to stand in the rain and freezing wind to witness it, but hey, that's lower division football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Brentford need a million by September to survive. It's a git isn't it ? Works out about a grand for everyone who turned up monday for the game against Wednesday. O.K Mr Gl

Got to hand it to you. If you can drink till 2, get back to room at 3, shower, shave shampoo and shag till 5. Then get up and ride a bike around in the heat, you'r a better man than I am. Probally younger too, but if you want to live to my age, have a good think about cycling in PTTY.

A police spokesman said " We don't know what's in them, but they taste like bannana" " We are waiting for further developments "

Not another Ferang suicide ?

Thanks again cybers Have found out you must insure in countryyou are driving in. My travel insurance covers me for any personal injury while driving. Si's insurance is 3rd party only. Might send her money to cover me, with her company, for the time. Cheers NNH

Thanks cybers, I was thinking about getting a Thai license, my mate who has one, told me you have to have a non immigrant O visa or something. He has one, because his wife is Thai. Do you have to sit an exam ? Si's insurance cost 10,000 bht I think. At least they drive on the correct side of the road. I should be able to match their style of driving

Will be in LOS for 2-3 weeks and it would be handy if I could get insured to drive the GF's old p-up truck. I have an I.D.P, but do I take my U.K license too ? The truck is insured for Si to drive, don't think that covers me. What do you blokes do about driving in LOS ? Is there anywhere in PTTY that you know of, where it could be done ? Thnks NNH

Now, the Chinese would dismantle Old Trafford and ship it out. They could get it on the same boat as the Rover plant.

Men and women, women and men. It'll never work !

Just sit at any bar on 2nd road and watch them go by, any night. No need to book.

They've got NEW sewers ???

Oh noooo!!!!. Does this mean they are going to dismantle Old Trafford and rebuild it in the Arizona desert, next to London bridge ? Oh, that's O.K then.

Yes, I get your point, you could do all your shopping that way. Jump off, get a T shirt get back on, look for a lighter at the next stall. Of course this saveS you looking at the piles of rubble and holes in the ground- I like it.

O.K Tom, tell us. How much is a leather Kilt for a night ?

Tell you what mate, the way some Farangs ride around Pattaya, you would think it WAS a race crcuit.

You want to whip around a circuit on an R1, wearing T shirt and shorts ? Hmmmm
