  1. Not many worn on shirts till the 1970s.
  2. Most of those in T21 haven't travelled half way round the world. They come from other Asean countries or places like China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. That end of 2nd Rd mostly caters to the same market. Westerners, South Asians and Russians do visit as well but not in as great numbers. It appears to be the case that the mall's initial popularity took the owners by surprise because they had to build a second multi-storey car park.
  3. The best film I have seen in the last 5 years is Parasite, made in Korea. Some other Oscar winners have been embarrasingly poor. I did rate Joker but can see it is not to everyone's taste.
  4. Seems to work pretty well on Beach Road and the trials on Sois Honey and Diana between Buakhao and 2nd Rd seem to have been a success. The sooner we get the monorail installed the better.
  5. Convict?
  6. Got some Lancashire cheese (Wensleydale also in stock), Warburtons crumpets and Greggs mini-sausage rolls from Villa at Avenue Mall today. I'm a happy shopper.
  7. A public beach without toilet facilities is a bit third rate. They have been promised in recent beach "improvements" but never materialised.
  8. Also looks like the old East Stand at Chelsea, however you can see a kink in the stand which is Molyneux.
  9. The "unknown match" looks like Wolves v Chelsea. Billy Wright on the left and Jimmy Greaves on the right.
  10. What I see at my condo complex tells me otherwise.
  11. It has always been the case that FIT (free independant travellers) tourists are far wealthier than those in big tour groups. I see a lot of young Chinese and Korean guys hooking up with young and pretty Thai girls. They are monied up, often own property and like Thai and other East Asian food. They are a more attractive proposition for the girls than Western men over 50 who like a drink and eat pie and chips at Hungry Hippo and Cheap Charlies. There are plenty of young Chinese ladies who travel in small groups together. Popping over to Pattaya for a long weekend is a very attractive proposition from cities in China that are mostly between 2 and 4 hours away by plane.
  12. Very 70s; yummy looking all the same.
  13. He speaks for fellow right-wing, fruit loop nut jobs and he will soon end up back in prison where he belongs. He has a list of convictions as long as your arm already. An irrelevance in political terms, even Farage detests him.
  14. They don't carry the TT logo.
  15. Beware of exchange booths in yellow and black which look very like TT ones but aren't. Their rates are higher.
  16. You can't take it with you when you pop your clogs.
  17. The mothers don't have anything to do with it? I think they probably do.
  18. Had he lived would Bobby Moore have had the England career he did? Rumour has it that he was on the verge of joining Bolton to team up with cousin Denis Stevens before Matt Busby persuaded him to join Utd.
  19. I should have quoted the post about Pig and Whistle changing name. Sorry about that. Brainfart.
  20. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 103 seconds  
  21. Bone nightclub; next to T21 on Soi Pettrakul; changed their name to One.
  22. They have likely picked up many former patrons from the now closed Climax bar. They both had similar business models; good place for big groups and couples, a band and close to Chow Mein Charlies and the Thai chippy (now both departed). Wasn't there some big Aussie egg-chasing match on Saturday that boosted numbers?
