  1. i have a friend who says the main reason he s still with his wife is because they sleep seperately. She says the same!!
  2. probably - I dont live in Pattaya. :) I remember walking into a 7 11 near my home and the look of terror on the poor young lady serving at the prospect of having to deal with a farang turned, disarmingly, into a smile when i asked for cigarettes in Thai. I think a lot of thai folk appreciate any effort to speak Thai by foriegners. I am nowhere near fluent by the way. I speak just the bare minimum to get by.
  3. if it stops the missis from hammering the AC then Im all for it!
  4. I think I read somewhere that his manager couldnt travel as he had no passport. Wasnt he Dutch?? I believe he was scared he wouldnt be allowed back into the US. I think Elvis only ever travelled to germany for military service and the occassional hop over to Hawaii. strange, seeing as he was the biggest star in the world.

    Remember the old BASF cassette tapes?
  6. enjoy man!!
  7. I don’t know about any other nations but for UK passports, you need to apply independent of the British Embassy. There is a process whereby you go to Trendy Building on Soi 13 in Bangkok. Long time ago, I was on overstay (1 year), I applied, received and then went to the airport with my 20 000 bt and paid the fine. This was before the blacklisting that occurs now so I could return almost immediately. It is only Thai Immigration that care about the overstay. It shouldn’t stop you applying for a new passport.
  8. yep - my son was taken to an uncles funeral when he was 12. i had always forbidden him to ride motorbikes - at least untill he was 15 / 16 but his Mother proudly sent me vdos of him bombing around the temple grounds - without a helmet - on his cousin's honda Wave. That led to an argument. My in laws thought i was being massively overprotective. He s 16 now and im the only one in the family that enforces a helmet. Mrs Nik doesnt seem to think it s so important!!
  9. quite the songwriter, had some drunken moments listening to his songs over years gone by. Always seemed to go well with a whisky and a Bukowski book.
  10. made a mistake posting this
  11. nope - but the girls in the office have started with the decorations and wearing fake reindeer antlers already. I dont think they understand my cynicism. There s also a healthy amount of Christmas decorations still up from last year. Dont care too much for it all , neither does Mrs Nik.
  12. Well, he did postpone his homecoming claiming he was in need of a health check up. If he was so seriously ill, maybe he shouldnt've flown.
  13. I heard that when a couple float a kratong together then it is believed that that couple wil be inseperable for all eternity - not just this lifetime. My wife did this with me when we met and I still cant get rid :)
  14. nights with mrs nik. she s an exciting lady :) watching my son playing basketball with his friends a decent meal a good movie an occassional night out i could go on.
  15. so - there was a communication. a governor from TAT completely misunderstood it and went on to communicate his version to the public. Truly bizarre!
  16. A YEAR!!! - surely the old pipes would clog up!!
  17. ladyboys?
  18. You Sir, are almost entirely innocent of meaningful rhetoric.
  19. Is Bob nominated for POTY - Id vote for him. Keep up the good work mate, you bring sunshine into a dull forum, mostly populated by dullard holier than thou types!!
