Cheap sex and not waiting is what's important for me.
As this is a London survey, 2 pints of Rattler and back home for a bang is about perfect.
This site isn't for you then. Some girls were talking grands for s/t.

You joke but I watched a BBC documentary on these websites recently. When the women refer to the punters as "sugar daddy" they are sites mainly set up for prostitutes and their punters. The women tend to be students moonlighting to make ends meet and the men tend to be businessmen stopping in hotels and wanting a lady for the night. Due to the large number of business men staying overnight in hotels, London is the epicentre of this trade but they are operating in several major cities in the UK. I believe the phenomenon originated in the US. Not dissimilar to Thai friendly.

Instantly thought of the world’s worst Nanny State, turns out I was right!
Close but no cigar. Thailand has a total ban on smoking on all it's beaches. I believe that there are several countries that have banned smoking in designated areas of certain beaches.

1 minute ago, nchuckle said:Your anecdotal evidence based on a single person (you) doesn’t chime with non smokers. Most really dislike it. People might in the past have been embarrassed or too polite to say no when asked if they would allow smoking in their house . Thankfully now most smokers don’t put people in that position ask and go straight outside...although they still stink when coming back in.
Silly analogy about truck drivers. In developed countries if your vehicle is on the road and breaching limits by belching out smoke your vehicle will be taken off the road. There are laws.
Your anecdotal evidence is based on a sample of 1 - you. @sambums evidence is based on a sample of 2 - mine and his, which makes our evidence twice as likely to be correct as yours.
Not a silly analogy about trucks, we're in Thailand, faulty exhausts on trucks is a big problem, far less healthy for far more people than someone having a quiet tab on a beach a few yards from you.
BTW. Have you come up with another country yet that has imposed a total ban on smoking on it's beaches? Proving a little difficult for you?

The female barstoolers need to crash their prices perhaps ?
It has been said but prices are going up due to the lack of customers. They now need to make a month's salary from one customer. I don't think that many bar girls have a degree in economics.

There has been a lot of bluster and conjecture from both sides of the argument, with the majority of outright despondence and self-loathing emanating from remainers. It's abhorrent to observe. Whatever I personally have asserted has been based on legitimacies - facts and trends starting many years back now. The EU being a seemingly doomed project that is fundamentally undemocratic, autocratic and federalist at it's heart as one - yes. I never said anything about future trade deals being easy, quite the opposite in fact. My thoughts on sterling's drop in value are not predicated on Brexit / instability within the UK or its much more recent effect on lost value against USD & other major currencies . The THB-GBP value analysis is bogus - as demonstrated by myself and many others on an earlier page. Brexit is a footnote in what was a very much overdue depreciation - and the GBP is far from alone in this by the way.
After a few months of leaving we could be in a position far better than you imagine - this would however be conjecture just as you imagining the sky falling in is. After a few years I'm willing to BET that we will be however - and that the EU will be on the verge of collapse from within - ok that's also a hope tbf. ????
Your whole post is bluster and conjecture. EU a doomed project? You wish, it's still expanding.
Your thoughts on sterling's drop in value is just that, your thoughts. There is ample evidence that a large part of the fall is due to Brexit. The THB-GBP analysis is not bogus as proved by me in previous posts. It's a combination of the strong Baht and a lack in confidence in the £ due to Brexit. Overdue depreciation? Zero evidence of that, again your conjecture.
"After a few months of leaving we could be in a position far better than you imagine" Could, but by the judgement of the majority of economists, who know far more than I or you, almost certain to crash and burn with a resultant loss of a great many jobs.
"After a few years I'm willing to BET that we will be however" A few years? In line with WRM's 50 years maybe, on that you could be right.
"and that the EU will be on the verge of collapse from within - ok that's also a hope tbf." Again zero evidence of this and why would you hope? Sour grapes?
Thanks for your post of bluster and conjecture with zero facts. After due consideration, I've given it the delete button which is no more than it deserves.

Far more indeed don’t smoke than do and almost all non smokers find secondhand smoke unpleasant. If that’s 'extreme and irrational ' explain why most countries ban smoking in public places and that’s starting to extend even to outdoors,as here.
Because again you say "almost all non smokers". Name one western country that has completely banned smoking on the beach. In fact name one country anywhere.

The real truth from the vendors is creeping out, however T.A.T still seem to be pedaling the same old tourism is up crap!
The speedboat vendors primary demographic are the Chinese, which concurs with my observations in Pattaya. A lot less Chinese around than there was a year ago.

He quoted "the overwhelming opportunity for Brexit will be felt over the next 50 years. Key word there is 'felt over,' and not untill. Fast forward to approx 23.30 to hear what he said.
Which in English means that we will only feel the full benefit in 50 years time.
Which could be interpreted as we won't feel any benefit in the next 40 years. Typical politician speak.

1 minute ago, sambum said:I stopped smoking 6 years ago, and I smoked for more than 50 years, but "secondhand" smoke doesn't bother me in the slightest. Like many smokers, even before the ban, I never used to smoke in restaurants, and when in someone's house, I always asked if they minded me smoking. and I think I was representative of many smokers - prepared to "compromise". But what annoys me are the "holier than thou" critics - many of them ex smokers that vilify smokers to the end of the earth, and wave their arms around like windmills at the sight of a lighted cigarette! Notice they don't do the same to the burly truck drivers whose vehicles are spewing out clouds of black poison?
I'm the opposite. I stopped smoking for 10 years and only started again when I came to Thailand. I too don't smoke in restaurants, I never smoke in anyone's house, not even my own. In bars, I'm always careful not to blow my smoke towards anyone and ask if I'm close to someone, if they mind me smoking. However you can never please the anti smoking terrorists. Strange that I rarely encounter them in real life, they seem to exist on online forums behind their keyboards.

For THIS time.. as the Tories + DUP hold a fast and overwhelming majority ( ?) of... 312+10 seats of the 650... https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/current-state-of-the-parties/ and https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47787898
No. Thats the way it works. The tory party elects a leader and HM The Queen says, "Do you fancy the job of P.M. BJ?". Boris replies, "Wofffle woffle barf barf" and the job's his.
However, once in Parliament, MPs are entitled to call for a vote of no confidence in the Government. If they lose that vote then a general election is called. As the govenment is actually a minority and in a coalition (as you rightly point out) they are in a very precarious position if a no confidence vote were called.
The show's by no means over, interesting times ahead. There's a real possibility that Boris will be one of the shortest lived PMs ever.

How many Tory MPs shortlisted Boris and the other bloke, leaving the only real opposition to Boris (Gove) out?

12 minutes ago, ed strong said:There's nothing wrong with using more than 100% if used as an expression of how far something has dropped or increased.
If you caught 1000 cod one month compared to 900 the previous month then catches are up 10%
if you then caught 2100 cod the following month then catches are up over 105%
Maths not your strong point then. Things can be 1000% up but never more than 100% down.
If you catch 100 cod one month and 0 cod the following month your catch would be 100% down. How many cod would you have to catch for them to be 200% down?

Nothing for the Commons either. Purely down to Tory party members. I think that he needs Royal assent to become Prime Minister but usually a formality.

I can understand a Thai does not know much about the EU, but.. British citizens, living in an EU member state since 1972...Maybe never got anything about the EU organisation at school ?
The EU is NOT a country, not a federation, not even a confederation, but.. an alliance of member states. Means, the leaders of the member states are the ones, who are in charge, forming the EU council. The president of that = Tusk. Appointed after an election for the leaders of governments, forming that council.
Then we have a "commission", to be compared with a commission of ministers, with a commissioner from each member state, appointed by THAT member state. Each commissioner has a certain task, like.. a minister in a normal state. The president is now Ursula von der Leyen as successor of Jean Paul Juncker. In the past this person is elected by the heads of states of the EU members. Also the EU parliament has something to say about that appointment, by a Yes of NO vote. However THIS time the EU parliament tried to force their candidate to the ER council by bringing forward the "Spitzen candidate = Front runner candidate by the tree mayor parties, in the hope, the EU member states' leaders would accept this. Pity for them, that failed.
The EU Parliament has ONLY to choose the president of that parliament, which is now David Sassoli as successor of Antonio Tajani
EU parliament has only a veto about the president of the Commission, whatever they make up as story.
Very informative but I think you meant to say Jean Claude Junker, not John Paul. maybe you were confusing him with Pope John Paul, an easy mistake to make.

well last time I was in Pattaya a few weeks back I got verbally abused by a
Thai women I was just waiting in front of 7-11 for my lady friend
Would that be sexually abused? Don't worry about it, I live in Pattaya and it happens to me all the time. It's just the local's way of showing affection. It's quite nice when you get used to it.

There are far more of us disgusted to get a nauseating blast of some selfish idiot's cigarette smoke. If your life is ruled by cigarettes you need to re-evaluate your priorities...not to mention your health regime.
My choice. Glad you are happy with the new rule on not smoking on the beach. Smokers aren't happy with it and the beach vendors aren't happy with it.
BTW. I think "far more" is a gross exaggeration. Most non smokers don't share your extreme and irrational view of smoking.

Johnson warns EU against any 'Napoleonic' tariffs in no-deal Brexit
in World News

Which is exactly why he said 50 years. It gives him the wiggle room, after Brexit, to say, "Well old chap, I did say up to 50 years". Of course when it comes to the 50 year crunch, he, I and you will all be long gone. Crafty buggers these politicians - not.
