  1. Bugger, I was hoping that it wasn't him. He had always impressed me as someone who was just trying to brighten peoples day, he certainly put a smile on my face. Now that I've read some of his posts, I think he's just another insecure personality who has been emotionally damaged by Pattaya. I feel sorry for him now and I doubt if I'll ever smile when he passes again. A little light has gone out of my world. edited for spelling - WHY can't I spot that before posting!
  2. Whether the drug is controlled or not, you are importing it for the purpose of selling it on and making a profit. Customs in any country would have a problem with that. It's no different than importing watches or socks to sell. Normally, for a non-restricted drug, importing for personal use is fine, but never for resale.
  3. Last trip I decided to buy a crash helmet because I was fed up with the filthy ones you get with a rental bike. So, went to Carréfour. Finally found the crash helmets after being directed over half the store - no change there then. Once I found them, they had shelves of each type, so I chose the style/price and started trying them on. The first one fitted like a bowler hat, the second came down round my ears. So I asked the assistant for one sized in between "hassip, hassip" (I should know better). "No, all same." So I put the first one on again, then the second, "look, n
  4. It's been fixed - at least the bottom bit, which was worse by far.
  5. Sounds like a good idea if you want to see the TV only, I would think that it would be difficult to even pick up a mug of tea while wearing those. Also, it would be a solo experience. OMG, wouldn't it be perfect for porn. I think that you should all go right out and buy 3d TVs. Also, please write lots of letters asking for more broadcast 3d programming. Tell your friends to do the same. Then, when the sets get cheaper, and there is enough broadcast, I'll buy one.
  6. At retirement I will have the same money whether I live in the UK or Thailand. It will go further in Thailand and life will be more pleasant as well. The idea of a retirement in the UK on limited income scares the shit out of me.
  7. Had they been there since about 1945 by any chance.

  9. Don't want to live IN Pattaya, somewhere 30 minutes or so out will do me fine. Close enough to get in easily a couple of evenings a week, but not so close that it's in your face all the time.
  10. I'm in town now and the link works for me. Have you tried refreshing the page once it's loaded? I'm on Firefox BTW.
  11. You have GOT to be kidding. It's a hotel for the clubber - drunk, noisy, fights, throws up everywhere when not on drugs. The attached nightclub is the underage drinkers spot of choice - with some of the most violent bouncers I've ever seen. And yes, I DO know it. It is NOT for anyone over 30, and NOT for families. To be fair, out of season it could be better, though I doubt it.
  12. They're a delicacy here! Tom Yung Bagpipe.
  13. Website says 5.4% SOUNDS like a nice beer (I like Leo currently). Will try to make it on Wed to see what it tastes like.
  14. Dunno, am there now for the 3rd time. Never had a noise problem. edit; maybe I'm the noisy one.
  15. I think I can see the difference now, it's the sunglasses isn't it?
  16. I was in Patts with EVA during the airport closure and they were in touch 3 or 4 times keeping me up to date.
  17. I've stayed there 3 times; once for 3 weeks and twice for a month. I'll be back for a month in March, so you can see what I think.
  18. Reminds me of last October, I was first off the Emirates 380 and walked quickly because I didn't want to be behind the full plane load of passengers. Only 2 ahead of me in the immigration queue, so through almost immediately. 35 minutes I waited for my bags. 35 minutes.
  19. This is a test of knowledge, not intelligence and is biased towards Americans. And I'm stoopid apparently.
