  1. You swine Ballpoint! I had to read that 4 times to understnad it 😂😎
  2. Depends on the spirit, mate. But then I also have mixers in spirits, beer, IMO, should be good on its own chilled, or in the case of most UK beers at room temperature. However, i think you're British, aren't you, so you would know that unless of course you happen to be winding me up.....as if!
  3. Really cannot agree with you there. Whether my comment is original or not, NO beer should ever have ice in it. If it tastes so bad it needs ice, drink something else! However, it is improved by being served ice cold and as long as you drink it before it warms up it's just about drinkable...IMO. The liquid sold as beer in Thailand is, agreed, technically beer, but for a Brit used to drinking proper ale, bitter, stout etc it's a poor substitute. It's not even as tasty as a good lager! Having said that, I do drink it because i like being in bars and cannot drink spirits all night.....does that count as going with the flow? 😂
  4. I agree with proper beer....But the so-called beer that's sold in Thailand? Not so much At least it means you don't have to taste it. 😊
  5. Indeed (and also to @gamb00ler ) in UK it's definitely sold as Rapeseed oil - available in most supermarkets. I've never seen Canola oil here, but then I've never actually looked for it.
  6. Rapeseed oil, widely available and cheaper than olive oil in UK, but I don't know about Thailand. I've now got to where I prefer it for cooking. It's also much easier to clean from utensils which, to me, shows that it's lighter.
  7. And here's the shirt I want to be wearing if I happen to meet one of them
  8. Quite hair-raising, in fact 😊
  9. Should have played her this.....
  10. Obviously never going to Pattaya! 😎
  11. Which surely must be followed by......... (If you're impatient, skip forward to 3 minutes but I'd advise watching the whole thing....in fact I'd advise watching ANY of these fine gentlemen's videos. Still brilliant after more than 90 years!) 😊😂
  12. And that's just for openers!
  13. I see that all the time in UK as well, and my thoughts are similar to yours.
  14. Great book - read it years ago and, as the French say “Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose “ – the more things change, the more they stay the same…
  15. Nah...just wanted to agree 100 times over 😋
  16. I wish there was a +100 emoji instead of just a +1 🤬
  17. Only if they were trying to curry favour
  18. "If you think you're not that old, start dating women your own age." Or just go to Specsavers 😋🙄
  19. Yes...I wish AN would return to identifying the posters of emojis. I can justify mine...can everyone?
  20. I resemble that insinuation! 😎
  21. What about those of us who use office equipment to keep our bread fresh? 🙄😎😋
  22. Rather have a few more boats to send the **** back! Let's not encourage them any more!! Sorry if
  23. You beat me to it. Short for "Prefabricated" A lot of these were built in England just after WW2 to help overcome a housing shortage. There were some at the end of the road I lived in as a very young child in the late 50s / early 60s. I never went inside one, but they were apparently very comfortable.

    About thai food

    I hope that was said in jest... OOI, the only time I've got really sick from food in Thailand was when I ate a chicken schnitzel from a very clean-looking Western restaurant. Other than that, I've eaten from hole-in-the-wall Thai places, market food courts and street vendors with no problems.
