I have no reason to disbelieve the OP’s report. Breathalizers have been used for a quite some time where I come from. They have changed a way of life in my hometown. We used to go the pub after work, have a few beers with mates and then drive home half-pissed. The pub used to be an important part of social life. Using public transport was a difficult option and taxis were hard to find and expensive for a working class man. Many people now drink at home alone and watch rubbish on TV. The breathalizer, speed and red light cameras, traffic police driving around in their cars, looking out for dr

All right then. Here is a contribution from some of the best tenors the world has been blessed with, with Pavarotti being a cut above the rest.

Here he is playing the saxophone. R.I.P.

Chris Ham died in his home in Melbourne today at the age of 59. He was a songwriter and played quite a few instruments. He is the bloke playing the flute in this song.

All Filipinas can sing, probably not all as well as Lea Salonga with her highly talented and trained voice. She is a superstar in the Philippines. +1

The Bee gees wrote all of their own music. According to Wikipedia, only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney outsold the Bee Gees. Thanks for finding and posting the early Bee Gees videos.

The smile on the face of Robin Gibb and his happiness near the end of end of the video are priceless. What a great guy.

There is a chance you can contract Dengue fever in Pattaya, but you would be one of the unlucky few cases reported each year. Ricktoronto is right when he says Dengue fever should not be treated with antibiotics. I don’t understand why so many doctors prescribe antibiotics for a viral illness like influenza or in your case Dengue fever. There is a lot of useful information on the Internet about Dengue fever. The different varieties seem to affect people in different ways, ranging from a harmless illness to life-threatening conditions. Good luck and hope the result of the blood test are not wha

Born and bred in Munich, Germany, went to school in Vienna, Austria for 12 years and then went to live mostly in Darwin, Australia at age 18 and have never been back to Europe since. Worked mostly in and out of Darwin in various jobs in the shipping industry for 35 years and spent most of my free time in Bali for 20 years. Retired at age 53 and have lived most of the last 11 years in Pattaya/ Jomtien and have now been living happily with the same lady for the last 7 years and do yearly trips back to Australia for a couple of months each year to keep in touch. I have mentioned all of this to yo

Having lived in the Northern Territory for most of my life, I know a fair bit about mosquitoes and the diseases they can spread. To you I recommend tropical strength RID repellent made in Australia, as you live in a shed down the track a fair distance from Pattaya. I can let you have some of my supply of repellent, as it is no longer needed on my high floor A bar of soap to wash out your mouth would not be a bad idea as well. As far as the floor nine discussion goes, well, I could have worded that a bit better. Maybe I should have said mosquitoes can be a problem on the lower floors and

I think you have fallen in love and want to stay with your new lady as husband and wife. Forget about the 51/49 company ownership and buy from a Falang only and buy the condo in your own name only. I would never feel comfortable buying a condo using a company name, no matter what your Thai lawyer will tell you. I bought a condo in the JBC complex seven years ago from a Scot friend and I am still very happy having done so. The trick is to buy a condo within a condo complex in the best area away from a noisy location, like next to an elevator, a noisy street or a low floor. I bought my end

Thailand is hot most of the time. It is better than being miserable in a cold place. Actually, May and November are my two favorite months of the year here in Pattaya.

The Beatles and their music belong to Hamburg and not Liverpool.

Grayray, Your Skyhooks video is unfortunately disabled from embedding by the person who uploaded it on You Tube. Here is another song from our generation, which might bring back memories. I had a drink with Normie Rowe in the Berrimah pub in Darwin in 1973, where he gave a rather good performance. Don't let Jacko convince you that song is only a rubbish cover of the original from Porgy and Bess. Normie Rowe's version is far superior to the original.

I think this lot would beat anything Thailand could throw against them in a week, all of the Thai armed forces, Red shirts, Yellow shirts, all of them. They could most likely wipe out all of the Armed forces of all ASEAN countries as well.

B.B King is probably the best guitarist of all time. He can even make Eric Clapton look ordinary at times, in my opinion. Notice Phil Collins on drums in the background.
