  1. Never mind losing the house or car.

    In theory at least they can be replaced.
    In 18 years I've had 4 friends have serious break downs.
    None drank or took drugs.
    They are all well educated professional men over 50.
    3 very wealthy.
    2 have had treatment, but have not fully recovered, and remain 'fragile'.
    2 did not have treatment and appear unaware how much they have changed.
    None of my friends in UK have lost their minds.
    I've met many guys who arrived happy, but now 'hate all women'.
    There seems to be a fair bit of bitterness posted here on TV.
    If these guys had remained in the west, would they have turned so obnoxious and bitter?
    Is it some thing in the water or some thing else?

    More fantasist bilge. Don't worry about other people's mental health, get your own looked into,

    Now orf you verily quack missie...

  2. Your obviously a class act!

    Heavy drinker-

    And this my personnel favourite coming from you, which takes the hypocritical biscuit! -
    Quote-
    You failed comprehensively to address one single point I made but seem stuck in some bizarre mindset.

    Going from the bizarre nature and your inability to convey even the simplest of meaning to your posts is disturbing to look at.

    You are clearly not in a good place mentally at the moment. Maybe take off in the Merc with your gaggle of women pop along and visit your pals Sandman77 and whereustay for a weekend of jollity and see who can come up with the best fantasy troll posts for next week? ....

  3. She's had 2 'mums' in 10 years.

    She rarely meets the arm candy.

    BUT is aware I have some kind of reputation with regard to girls, but is unaware exactly what it is.

    I go to Fillys on 'business'.

    When your daughter told you she wanted to be 'happy' when she gets older the other night do you think she was hinting at maybe having a settled home life and a father who acts like a normal human being?

  4. Penang has plenty of bottom end digs around Lebuh Chulia but some/most of them are pretty seedy, noisy and smelly.

    I find the Waldorf on Lebuh Leith (just off the top end of Chulia) a decent deal, but basic place at 50ish RM a night for ac, TV Hot Water and dolliebirds in the 'health' spa/coffee shop at the rear. It's as clost to a Thai level 'mid range' place you'll get in Penang.

    More up market the Cititel on Jalan Penang at 170ish RM is a good place with decent views of Penang from higher floors, a nice indoor pool which Asian women like.

  5. Cut two large onions in half. Leave them cut side up in the room.

    Could be an old-wives tale.

    Will probably result in your next question being 'how to remove onion smell'.

    This is only of the procedure. Take the 2 halves & place in a large container of water, a bucket is ideal. Place the bucket / container anywhere in the room. All paint fumes & smell should be gone in about 24 hours. No wives tale.... it works.

    My word! I did this at 5pm yestreen and came in from seeing the wife and there was a distinct improvement. Cheers! I do wonder if the raging tempest last night which hit us helped too...

    Thanks for all the replies....

  6. So to summarize: you're living in Thailand because you love the diversity and flavors of Thai cuisine? biggrin.png

    Indeed a chap can become 'rice logged' after a while and needs some cholesterol based sustenance once in a while which doesn't leave him having to spend 40 minutes on the bog the following day and suffering from a 'ring of fire'.

    The timing of this thread is dreadful. I was in Patts for a few days last week and hardly spend a bean. I'd have gone here and filled my boots....ah well, next time....

  7. Anybody mention the Black Swan yet? Or Iron Maiden? Witches Tavern? - I actually like the beer at Tawan Daeng.

    Sent from my A 8+ using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    Witches went shit when they forgot they weren't a gastropub on the banks of the Thames in Middlesex. Now it has pretensions beyond it's reality. Twas once a decent pub in Bangkok, since they got all the 'Blues and Jazz" nonsense going on it all seemed to go badly wrong.

    There is no "Iron Maiden" Pub in Bangkok, would be far too suable a breach of copyright even here.....

  8. My main concern is that I can't think of many places which have successfully survived or replicate their previous sucess after a major relocation in BKK.

    Woodstock's bizarre quantum leap across Sukhumwit from the Heart of Bangkok's best nightlife area (which NEP undisputedly was from 95-05), to become a soulless run-of--the-mill typical sterile, overpriced expat haunt tucked away in some obscure Thong Lor sub soi.springs to mind.

    It went from a bar which always featured in the best bars in SEAsia in the ptress and forums at that time, (Very well run - especially in the late 1990s to the early/mid 2000s when the English guy from Notts was in charge (Andy?) - superbly staffed, when Crazy Ping was at the helm, and with an excellent music policy to boot).

    Woodstock could boast a loyal resident expat and long termer clientèle; virtually all of who would make it their first port of call after crossing continents. Great place. Shame they've died a death too now. Although the new one wasn't my cup of Darjeeling at all, it was nice to pop in and chat with some of the girls from the 'good old days' from time to time.

  9. Good call, well done the court for this decision

    Yes lets not worry about the millions of Thais who can't afford TRUE or have the ability to live stream. Your compassion is overwhelming.

    Well put;

    Who gives a rat's backside what you will be doing? I hope you'll all be inviting a few of the real victims of this abysmal, greedy decision; people who don't have RS/True or a super fast internet connection.

  10. Decent grub and a fair drop but could be ghastly on a Friday/Thursday evening/night, full of TEFLers playing at 'expats' talking about real estate deals and prices....

    Big Fat Dave used to call it his favourite piss-taking venue....

  11. Good call, well done the court for this decision

    I can't think of anything that will piss of the Thai's more than this! the whole country is football crazy! will be interesting to see how this comes out!

    Indeed. Hardly a future vote winner if any of the True/RS/High Court big wigs have an eye on politics in the future.

    I just came past my local moto boys on the way home from my walk and they are football mad. They were not impressed. I think once the military gauge public mood on this one, we won't have heard the end of this.

    No real surprise in the verdict though, finding in favour of high level corporate school chums etc.
