And the stinking drains, particularly walking from Grand Condotel along the "pedestrianised" road towards the police station. It's horrible and often makes me wretch.

I doubt there's a single power source, that would be too logical . .

It amazes me that more guys working on that spaghetti don't get electrocuted. How the hell do they know what cable goes where and which ones are not live? Hats off to them, massively dangerous work.

Nice video Manmohan and welcome from me too. Looks like you had a great time. My comment would be similar to @jacko - I'll be going to bed here in UK shortly and I know I'm gonna have huge trouble getting that tune out of my head . . . ?

Hope you take pics without her arms in the way though . . . ?

Great reports and great pics Rhino . . . I'm 100% with @Bullfrog on preferring the BF to the model, certainly facially anyway, as can't see the BF's body . . . (hint, hint) . . ?

That made me laugh Butch, brilliant mate. Not sure about the Sherbert Fountain though. Fifteen years ago when a TG was giving me a happy ending I could hit the headboard if she got the timing right. Nowadays it's a belly button blob . . . ?

Your post made me laugh out loud Yogi. So bloody true. Your last line sums it up perfectly. Great boost to the ego to have a 23 or similar age girl crawling all over you, even if it is fake. Although we know it, I usually play it a bit by saying something like I only take girls who really love me and see what the reaction is. I can have a great laugh with them along these lines. I know it's shit, she knows it's shit, but WTF, we're only here once and if it goes tits up in the bedroom sometimes, so be it. Sometimes it doesn't though and there has to be some self gratification if one can ma

Great word "scarpered". Haven't used it myself either for yonks . . . I haven't looked anything up, but thinking about the words "scarpered" and "scampered" to my mind there's a fundamental difference in meaning. "Scampered" for me means getting or going somewhere relatively quickly, "scarpered" to me means get the fuck out of dodge pronto cos something not very good is going on".

Couple of oldies but goodies . . . Two Irishmen decide to go fishing on the river one day. They hire a boat, row out to a pleasant spot and start fishing. Within 10 minutes they're pulling out fish left, right and centre. Mick looks over to Paddy, who's painting a big X on the side of the boat. Mick says "Why the fuck are you doing that Paddy?" Paddy says "This is such good fishing I'm painting an X so we can find this spot again". Mick says "Don't be such a twat, we might not get the same boat next time". Guy goes to the optician and says "doc, I th

Last one for tonight - got so much I could post here. Apologies if anything I've put on so far has already been posted, I haven't been through all 91 pages of the thread. Love this Metallica instrumental, Lars particularly brilliant on drums on the first track . .

And speaking of Boston, while I'm a Brit, their playing live of Star Spangled Banner still brought a lump to my throat, as it did a couple of the people shown in the video. I believe it was one of the Super Bowls, when it was actually held in Boston.

Wow, only just seen this thread after being on the site for a few years . . . love it. The Greensleeves track was fantastic. I've obviously missed Christmas, but on that theme, Boston made this version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Just love the guitars . . .

Great, thanks Big Brian, much appreciated. Rewind is good, especially as you say you can then skip the ads. I guess as time goes on they'll improve the functionality too. I'm looking forward to getting over there and getting this installed. It'll be great to have Sky Sports and BT Sports from the same box, though as you say the time difference doesn't help. When the Prem kicks off at 3 pm UK time on a Saturday it'll be 9 pm or 10 pm in Thailand. On a Saturday night I may be doing other things . . . ? And the 7.45 pm UK kick offs will be a nightmare . . .

Ah, ok, I'll maybe wait until I get there before ordering it, though have emailed them the question. Let's see if they get back to me. This is the one I'm looking at - seems to have all the channels I'm looking for:- https://www.iviewhdthailand.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=556 Interesting what you say about Irish adverts. I'm presuming you can't hold live tv on this like I can here in UK? The no. of ads on Sky really gets on my tits, so for drama or crime I hold it for about 30 minutes, then watch so I can skip through the ads.

Thanks for this Big Brian, that seems to cover everything I need . . . brilliant. I presume you actually order in Thailand rather than order from UK and bring it with me?

As mentioned in a couple of other threads, I'm planning to spend a lengthy period of time in Thailand (12 months minimum, yippee), probably starting in March. I'll look to rent a nice furnished condo/apartment, quiet and near a decent beach, that has good security, a pool, gym and near some local shops with easy access to taxis (that's a task in iteself - I may well book in a hotel for a week first and go the various property places to find the most appropriate place). While I'll be enjoying myself in the usual manner, I also plan to be sensible and won't be out on the town every ni

Just seen this post. I'm booked into the Areca from 6th to 15th October - does anyone know if the outside bar, terrace area and Cafe are still closed?

I've had quite a few good and bad flights . . . Good - way back in the early 80's, business class BA, London to Sydney. Nothing too memorable about the flight itself, but got on really well with the cabin crew. So much so they spoke to the Captain and I was invited into the cockpit for the landing in Sydney. Incredible experience, strapped in looking straight out the middle of the cockpit window as we approached and landed. No way that would happen today. Good - flying back to London from Zurich. My Thai gf and I. Booked in business, checked in online, got seats 4A and 4B. Got to the a

Thanks for that Mirkwood, didn't know about Yuth bar. Where is Big C? Britboy and the lads will be in town Oct 28 to Nov 3. Bring on the pool parties, can't wait. I've always been into music, rock in particular, so will give this place a look. Are there bar girls in there? If so, decent standard?

Absolutely fantastic. Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting it.
