In the 70's Patpong was a great place. I remember Sugar Shack as a cool place. Bobby's Arms in the car park was a good drinking spot, where all types gathered in a good spirit. Yes, the Foodland was a handy asset also. A military government brought in midnight closing at one time. The bar I was in organised a convoy of taxis (traffic was allowed then) to take all who wanted to some large house in the burbs, where the show continued. Nothing stays the same forever, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

I remember The Other Office in  the early 70's.  At that time the British Council had two different offices in BKK.  If a wife rang her husband and he was out, she was told he was in the other office - which of course he was ... but not the one she thought it was. Visited again in the early 90's it was quiet, but my friend was given a BJ openly at the bar on the ground floor.

It's OK if you have first or second degree syphyllis, the medical form for a non-imm visa only demands a declaration if you have tertiary syph !!

 duplicitious MPs have no intention of honouring the democratic vote what the electorate voted for.

 

Only 37 % of the electorate voted to leave. 63 % did NOT vote to leave.

Yeah, I have a condo in downtown St Petersburg.
There's nowhere else in the US I'd live. Cali is nice, but the taxes are pretty high. New England is too cold. The rest of the place is an ignorant backwater populated by hillbillies and religious nuts. 

you's livin' in Russia ?

Are you sure you can move that money back ?    Did you register the money was for buying property when you came ?  Do you think you can send more money back than you came with ?

Skillful driver  - and not breaking the speed limit - excellent ????

Yes but that is because US for instance had no real checks and was not going to change that. Not sure about the UK. But my Dutch one still does it but then again they really checked the documents to make sure the applicant was not lying. 

 

 

The British Consulate was very thorough checking the documentation and finances.  I think they welcomed the opportunity to drop this from their work-load.

, it's the 17.4 million democratic leave voters who took part in the referendum. The PM's just attempting to carry out their wishes. 

Of the 46.5 million registered voter, 29 million chose not to vote to leave.

Do the maths.

Hong Kong Island was NOT leased. It was 100% British.  The areas around the Island (the New Territories) were leased. The British government made one of its many stupid decision to give the Island back when it had to relinquish the New Territories.  They did not  give the population a referendum to seek the will of the Hong Kong Island people. But when it came to British (white) people in the Falklands and Gibraltar - they were given a vote !   The shambolic  British withdrawal from Asia is still causing sufferings in the Indian sub-continent over Kasmir, and the in Burma the ethnic monorities which were shamefully handed over to the Burmese after WWII, despite the fact that they had aided the Anglo-Indian forces, whilst the Burmese, under the murderer Aung San, committed war crimes in their support for the Japanese.

Congratulations to Deputy Education Minister Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich !  

It's a start. Hopefully more will follow her example.

I would have settled for 60% of votes cast...

I would want a two-thirds majority.  This should have been written-in before the voting occurred.   It would then be the same as the majority required to pass a proposal for  a general election  - which is one the the votes that Bonkin' Boris failed to achieve the other night.

Mis-use of the term 'oysters'.  This group of pelecypods is famously stenohaline (not tolerating any rise of fall in salinity of sea water. Therefore, impossible to live in fresh water habitats. There lots of other groups of pelecypods which abound in fresh-waters - but they have different names .......

I hope he sues that woman who said she had consensual sex with him, and then she said he raped her, and then she had consensual sex with him again.

So he had sex with her 3 times ?

For people who aren't beach sand experts,

 

Woukd this happen in first world countries?

 

Or is it one of those pure bad luck situations ?

It would happen in first world countries if the did the same. Eventually the tides, waves and run-off from the land will always win.
