Great party, enjoyed myself in the company of the usual reprobates. Nice set of varied pics too, guess who's had too much sun .. That farang lady in pic 2 and others (incl. knicker-shot) is 62 years old - pretty good going when you look at some of the much younger UK talent nowadays. Thanks to TTT and GM for throwing this party, the Drunken Duck is a really good venue.

Bada Bing? The name has a certain resonance. Not Arab-owned is it, I think Badabing is Arabian for 'condom', though I could be wrong (the Arabs invented the condom in 1272, using the lower intestine of goats. In 1853 the Brits improved on this by removing the intestine from the goat first).

Very funny, I love this film sequence - it's been used for a hilarious attack on Ryanair as well.

The Darkside bar crawl went to both Sapphire and Exotica on Monday. There were (I think) 13 of us on the crawl. On entering Sapphire at around 3 pm we found there were perhaps 2-3 ladies in the place apart from the cashier. No sign of the stunners I referred to in my earlier post, let alone bared funbags, but we sat down to await events and have a drink. After about 10 minutes a bevy of (fully clothed) girls made a sudden appearance and the place was transformed. Most chaps (though not yours truly) quickly had the company of reasonable-looking girls, and I think they had a good time with plent

So this thieving scum ended up owing you the princely sum of one thousand Baht - bloody outrageous for someone who had not been inconvenienced in the slightest by your premature withdrawal from the rental agreement. Please excuse my sarcasm, but I think you need to reexamine your 'tude a little. It has been established in the past (reported by MM) that far fewer than 90% of BMs on this board are Brits, but those who are Brits (and quite a few others) are rightfully less than impressed with your blanket abuse. Some of us Brits have learned to walk upright and breathe through our noses, though

Two of us went to Sapphire and Exotica to have a look-see yesterday afternoon. Both places have upmarket decor and are expensively fitted out, very tasteful and spacious. Not that I care if not outrageous, but drinks prices in both venues are reasonable for the ambience. Sapphire had a bevy of at least 20 girls sitting around and talking, joking around amongst themselves, most of them of top agogo quality (most apparently work in agogos after their daytime 'shift') and with numerous extremely nicely enhanced funbags on full view. True stunners some of them, but didn't they know it. The words

I don't think you need to apologise at all Ozibill. Wars tend to start not with sudden attacks on people's territory (even the Russians could have seen June 1941 coming a mile off), but with politicians who first sabre-rattle, then whip up a frenzy of hate in their populations to get popular support for a war - very often by generalising about the 'enemy'. Mobilisation and attack comes later in most cases. I'm talking about the modern age, as you were, and I took your meaning.

About as much as being born in a stable makes me a horse

This restaurant deserves to succeed IMO, the food is plentiful, very good and very reasonably priced, the service is attentive but unobtrusive. Top marks from Bushcraft, who also struggled (with mia) to get through the 495-Baht set meal for two. Well done also to Mirkwood for the OP, wouldn't have known about this excellent place otherwise.

Marvellous report Jim, thanks very much for taking the trouble.

Quite understandable that he has resigned, and having a full consulate can't do any harm if you're a Brit. Wonder if we'll see Howard back in uniform on Walking St. anytime soon ..

I think it was before even you were born, Joe

That's truly horrible, poor little kid, and goes far beyond the natural inclination not to get involved which we often see in western societies too. The Chinese are well-known for their apparent indifference to the suffering of others (except family). I once asked my Chinese kung-fu grandmaster why this is, and he explained that it's all to do with the belief in fate. "If I see someone come to grief in some way, that is his fate, and if I render assistance I am interfering in that preordained course of events, which may bring bad luck on me." What a wonderful attitude, it makes you wonder h

Thanks for posting the pics and for the very kind comments guys, many much-loved faces to be seen, and the party was indeed faultlessly organised. Thanks to Tony and the team at DD for all the effort, I'm sure a good time was had by all, including Garry and Kookhai's baby Sydney - this was probably his first but probably not last Pattaya booze-up.. attaboy!

As a resident, X-Zone has always been a favourite of mine. The only major downside has always been the blatant and incessant hustling for drinks, which puts free-spenders like myself off even more than it might some others. I suggest a review of beer and LD prices would be a good move, in the expectation that increased volume of customers when the word goes around will then make the required contribution to overheads. I wish xzone nerve every success if he retains the delightful raunchiness of the place. Getting on Frostie's shit-list is actually quite hard, and very unfortunate in view of h

While your point on English usage is correct, there are quite a few chaps who bring their 'girlfriends' or wives to Patts to enjoy threesomes with Thai girls. I don't know if that floats Gabor's boat or not - his business. But you can't automatically assume she's just a friend.

Husband to wife: I think we should try changing positions tonight. Wife: Ok, you do the ironing and I'll just sit on the sofa watching the TV and farting.

Sorry, can't help. Initially I thought this was a thread about bargirls ..

Thanks for the info Mick, that looks like a good deal for the comfort provided. Will you be here again next weekend? Didn't see you much last time unfortunately.

Well done Pete, I'll be paying you a visit shortly as I always enjoy PBG - and my other half is looking forward to trying the Issan dishes - I think that's a good move on your part.

Welcome back mate, you've certainly been through the mill and I hope you're fighting fit again.

Love your humour and perceptive eye, keep it coming

Lux lice lat inbutita int Looks like Latin but it ain't

I never saw this still youngish man harm a fly, he used to hang around CB and the bar next door, never hussled anybody but was a sorry sight. He gave rise to much mirth in some, disgust or pity in others, but I always felt very sorry that he had obviously been mercilessly used and uncared-for. Clearly a lot of scum in the past had persuaded him that it was a good idea to have him submit to having their names tattooed all over his face for a few Baht and a drink or two at a time - hope they're proud of themselves, he was quite obviously uneducated and a simpleton, which surely should place him
