Remember the old BASF cassette tapes?

enjoy man!!

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.

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!!

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.

made a mistake posting this

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

so - there was a communication. a governor from TAT completely misunderstood it and went on to communicate his version to the public. Truly bizarre!

You Sir, are almost entirely innocent of meaningful rhetoric.

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!!

Hate s a strong word Mr Bird - do you genuinely hate perople on here?

really???? Welcome mate. fun and games here :)

Carabao and tawandang are run by the same people. The beer produced on site at Tawandang is overseen by a German brewmaster. Met him - he s a decent fella and very serious about the quality. Carabao are incorporating that experience with the release of these beers.

ive tried them all execpt the IPA. The rose is sweet and one maybe for the girls (my missi likes it). if i want a frity fizzy drink, I d drink fanta. The lager is a different taste alternative to the usual chang/leo/cheers/singha choice. some may prefer, some not. I ve never been a huge fan of wiezen or wheat beers. This is ok for me. But i do like the Dunkel. Not many dark beers in Thailand and this is good, a hoppy bitter taste. Definately a good alternative to whats usually on offer and i will be buying a crate for the fridge. looking forward to the IPA. Thailand needs a good one!!

55. i once told my class that my friend's daughter really really liked riding horses in Thai. I was met with some very strange looks.

แดด = sunshine i have difficulty pronouncing certain Thai characters and ด is a problem as it sounds very similar to ต. With that in mind i remarked to my Mother in Law that the sun had come out. แดดออกแล้ว. Unfortunately , she heard something entirely different. แตดออกแล้ว which lead to a very shocked mother in law and my wife banishing me from ever using the word "sunshine" in Thai again. Father in law wasnt best pleased either. I even remarked that it was beautiful to see. I still cringe.

sometimes enjoy a morning beer myself. Have fun Bob, but take care. Maybe let us know how you're faring mid afternoon!!

tranquil ???? Either Patong has changed since i was there , or the word "tranquil" has changed definition.
