  1. Jack Dee’s droll sense of humour I find particularly funny.

     

    Frank Skinner is someone I didn’t really care for when he teamed up with David Baddiel but on his own he is terrific !! His stand up is hilarious but does get very grafic sexually ( if that’s not your bag ).

    His autobiography is a great read .

     

    Peter Kay is an obvious favourite ( as I’m a Brit )

     

    Here’s some names to check out if you want some new laughs :

    Simon Amstell ( very likeable gay comic British)

    Gary Delaney ( excellent one liners British )

    Stewart Francis ( very funny Canadian )

    Anthony Jeselnik (American comic )

    Jimmy Carr ( very controversial Brit comic )

  2. I have started looking at both Jazz and BR-V. It will be my first ever car purchase. Like you I like the 5 seater BR-V and have no need for 7 seats. I just think that it may be overkill in terms of space.  My wife favors this, while I am leaning towards a Jazz. She seems to understand that the BR-V has better clearance than the Jazz (something I will have to check out). The idea is to start driving in BKK, but once I retire and we move upcountry, it will be needed for much longer trips.  

    The Jazz carrying space is excellent for its size , with the seats folded I’ve abused its generous loading capacity many times.
    I live in Ayutthaya and the Jazz has taken south to Chumphon and north to the Golden Triangle with zero problems.
    I’ve sort of gone off the BR-V a little bit, mainly because of the lack of an intermediate version , 5 seats and fully loaded would fulfill my requirements . But, although I like the shape from the front and the side I was behind one the other day and couldn’t help noticing how ugly it is from behind !!

    I have been using zigwheels.co.uk for comparison of cars in my budget and it’s surprising how many 7 seater cars are available now yet I think only the BR-V has a 5 seater version.

    My search continues but I have to say that the Jazz takes some beating ( IMHO ) ,the current version is exactly the same as what I have now and I really want to have something different.

    ( if you want a well cared for 2 1/2 years old Jazz pm me [emoji51] ).

  4. What did I just read?

    The “ i made out with a few items “ statement was particularly worrying !!
    I suggest that the OP doesn’t try to “ make out “ with any of the items in the Pattaya store, Thai people tend to frown on this type of behaviour !!

  6. I'm not at all worried about them coming. The IO , police, and other government officials, in our area have always been very helpful. I'm sure they could never walk around unaccompanied with the extended family we have here.
    I've found that the Thai police only bother you when you do something wrong. In fact they've been very friendly, professional and helpful. I tried to hire a police canine trainer to help me train my dog. He took a good amount of time helping me and evaluating the dog.  He said he was too busy to make a commitment to help with training, but told me if I'd ever get tired of the dog he'd love to have him. I tried to pay him and he refused. Tried to buy him lunch and he said he wasn't hungry. My wife latter bought a basket of fruit and left it at the police desk and said to thank the policeman for his kindness. This was about 3 years ago at the Lampang police headquarters.

    Nice little story about you and your dog Fred but not really relevant was it ?

    The OP is talking about 2 guys showing up at his residence, apparently armed, no uniform and in an unmarked truck. No id offered but when requested id shown.
    But let’s be honest how many would recognise a fake id from real one, I know I wouldn’t !!
    Probably easier to obtain fake id’s over uniforms and official vehicles.

    Letting some strangers inside your home is always cause for concern IMO

  7. did they look into every room in the house? that is going to be a real problem for me. 
     

    I believe they only go into the lounge area and sometimes not even that far.


    If you are really concerned I suggest you buy a rug........... and some duct tape !!

  8. I tried to sit all the way through John Wick 3, but just couldn't manage it as it was absolute garbage.
     
    The writer must have run out of ideas for this one and not only was the story-line preposterous, all of the action was about shooting many, many people in the head or ending up in the desert for some strange reason.
     
    I sincerely hope no one gets conned into watching a follow-up to this, if indeed there is one.
     
    Don't waste your time

    I haven’t seen number 3 , number 2 seemed to be pushing it IMO !!

    Anyway, someone must like the franchise .
