Lop Buri? The driver said he had 'a 40 pound monkey on his back.'

That heel has no sole. But then he has.😉

If he was the CEO of a company he would have been turfed out on his ear for mismanagement.

Where was god during the London Blitz? Working for Hitler? 

The same place he/it is now. While the humans are destroying themselves and the world. If there is a god he didn't make a very good job of creating humans.

Who invented humans

The same organisms that created the rest of living things.

I think I recall it ,when in about 15 years ago with a ladyboy 

Is that the one with the homophobic signs up or am I mistaken?

Could be. To paraphrase Groucho Marx 'Who wants to join a club that lets people like me in?' But each to his own.😉

Such as what?

Let us cheap Charlie's know what he provides so we can all go around 

Is that the one on the corner ,been there 100 years if it is 

Surely not same owner 

The same congenial owner. If you want to know what he provides for free and you are a cheap Charlie, I suggest you don't visit. Besides the regular customers. It has many customers who come back to Thailand for their holidays and without a visit to the Shamrock Bar their holiday is not complete. I discovered it in 1988 and all my visits have been well worth it.

Why?

 

I will TELL YOU WHY!

 

1.  I am getting old now.  And, I look back at my roots.  And, I very much value the Jewish neighborhood in which I grew up.  This made me what I am.

 

2.  "These Days", as you say, are just like any other days.  These days are just the same days as they always were.  So then, can I NEVER broach this subject?  Do tell!

 

3.  I have never submitted a Topic which was totally harebrained.  It might be ONLY YOU who interprets my Topics as being harebrained.

 

4.  Also, I do NOT blame the Jews for making me live in a Jewish neighborhood!  Instead, I THANK the Jews for making me one of them, during the time I grew up in my Jewish neighborhood....

 

I loved it there.

 

5.  Something that you might not know is this:

 

There is a high similarity between Jewish culture and Asian culture, and this.....most likely.... is why I have always felt so at home in Asia, not to mention Thailand, and specifically Chiang Mai.

 

There are MANY things that you might not know about me, and about Asia.

 

Feel free to query me regarding almost anything that you might not understand.

 

I am Asian, yes.

I am also, in some important respects, a Jew, too.

 

Should I riff on further about this?

I think, no need.

 

Just let it be said that I am grateful to have lived in the place where I grew up, as a young hottentot, and I learned a lot, while there.

 

I am a product of my environment.

 

 

 

 

Oi vey. My life already.!Give over. You are coming over like a cracked record. Who cares whether you are Jewish or not.😉

To be fair that's the stereotypical view of him, watch a couple of documentaries about him and you may change your view. He has an incredible drive to do well and always encourages youngest to work hard and fulfill their potential. He's an ambassador for the sport.

 

Oh, he also took his turn in the queue to pay his respects to the late Queen when others used their status and pushed to the front.

 

You dont need to hold a degree to be clever or a role model. I'm just highlighting the poster's ignorance over tattoos and 'mutton heads'

 

 

 

Only 'mutton heads' would make statements like that.........

 

Another with his head in the clouds😉

bob.

The tattooist must have had good eyesight. Did he use a magnifying glass?😉

Perhaps all visitors to Thailand should be warned that pointing the foot at someone in Thailand is strictly no no. To kick someone is the ultimate. But then the Thais do it all the time. Kick someone I mean, but not point with the foot. And if the visitor sees shoes outside a premises, take their shoes off before entering and make sure you choose a good pair on leaving.😄

Do you have evidence that he didn't? He was Prime Minister at the time. That's where the buck stops. Or should.

Kudos to the cop and bad on the tourists. 

 

But does anyone think that standing locked in the same pose for an extended period is the best way to prepare someone to hurdle into action if SHTF?

 

It's theater. And I hope there's a room full of stout, well armed men limbered up right behind the wall in case something does go down.

 

BTW, just out of curiosity, do they have women taking shifts at that position?

 

Yes.
