  1. Went to double check the year, as had a similar thought. Use to drink that god awful Colt 45, the girls stunk of Charlie, Les Bleus won the Grand Slam, Forrest won the League and European Cup, the Aussies won the first leg of the Centenary Test in Melbourne and Jim Callaghan was in No. 10. However, goes to show you can't always trust Google when he comes to Composers and musicianship!
  2. Recommend 88 Barbershop. Located on the Soi 9, which is the Soi between Hemmingways (Pattaya) and Pattaya Night Market. Tel: 084 333 5369
  3. Have Tuna mush fajitas every week, (tinned tuna, sweetcorn, onions, cherry or normal tomatoes, red/green peppers, salad leaves plus whatever needs finishing off). All bought from Lotus or Big-C. Use red onions as prefer the taste when eaten raw. Never had a problem. Have found the tuna flakes are more liquid / broken down out here compared to Europe/ UK. Put this down to excessive ambient temperature during storage , so keep my tuna tins and especially smoked anchovies in the fridge. Heinz mayo and aioli as a binding ingredient. Biggest problem I now have is sourcing Aioli, none in Lotus or Big-C for the last 10 months, even the Harrods foodhall of Pataya (Friendship Supermarket) no longer stocks it. Definately a first world problem.
  4. Thank god no fatalities. When I had my first floor balcony installed in the UK back in 2006 to cover the length of the back of my house (upside down house, living space on 1st floor, bedrooms below), I commented to the structural engineer doing the design, what he was proposing was over kill, as there were only 3 occupants. His calculations based on the UK Regs at the time of the (4.5 x 4.5)m + (13 x 2.5)m expanse needed to accommodate up to 9.6 Tonnes, in other words 123 average UK people. The balcony was built stronger than the house!
  5. Also a 4 part Drama series which has opened up the issue en-mass to the General Public, shown Prime-Time over New Year. First reported by Computer Weekly back in 2009 and been constantly reported by Private Eye since the same time. Regrettably both not widely circulated and read. It's taken until 2024, some 15 years before this became common knowledge. Heads are now starting to roll.
  6. If you like your Guy Ritchie Cockney caper movies, then give 2012 Cockneys vs Zombies a go. You'll recognise quite a few familiar faces. Theme song by Chas and Dave, what's not to like?
  7. If you like British Literature and Zombies, then highly recommend the 2016 British flic, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
  8. Having designed Computer Rooms / Data Centers, golden rule was never to have the AirCon units facing each other, as the airflow across the room is effected, and the Temperature sensors in the units will shut the units down quicker, so you'll end up with a stop-start system, rather than a constantly running / comfort cooling system. Quick question. Any reason why AirCon wasn't included in the original building design? Impact on aesthetics, electrical distribution, outdoor condenser placement etc.
  9. Would agree, the humble British Fish & Chips can be traced back to the 1500's Spanish dish "pescara frito" in terms of the fish, however it's believed it was a Jewish immigrant in London in 1860 who actually merged the two ingredients into a single dish. On the other hand, the modern (alleged) UK favorite dish, Chicken Tika Masala isn't from India, but originates from the Shish Mahal resturant in Glasgow in the late 60's early 70's. The ubiquitous Pizza can trace its history back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians not the Italians. The versatile sausage was invented by the Sumerians around 3000BC, not the Europeans. Spaghetti isn't Italian but was introduced to Sicily by the Arabs in the 8th century, although the concept of "noodles" made from wheat can be traced back to the Chinese who the Arabs traded with and introduced Islam to in the 7th century. The list is endless.
  10. Will be back in AUS next month. Can't wait, followed by a Cherry Ripe.
  11. I thought you were German. That's a Schokokuss, which is Danish. If you want a proper Chocolate Tea Cake, then none finer than a Tunnocks. Made by Sir Boyd Tunnock since 1956, a Scottish shortbread base, a filling of Italian meringue and coated in a thin layer of chocolate.
  12. Use to have the 18V interchangeable batteries hedge strimmer in the UK. Easy 1.5 hours plus usage. You can't fault German engineering, as they say, Vorsprung durch Teknik, Progress through Technology.
  13. Proper Fish and Chips, with the chips cooked in beef dripping.
  14. Perhaps The Red Sea issues and dried up Panama Canal are taking their toll on inter APAC shipping as well?
  15. Agree with @Pattaya57, however I also use Pattaya Cabs, https://PattayaCab.com
  16. Have you looked at Guitar Room, K Village on Soi 26 Bangkok. They have Martin and Taylor. If you fancy a wee trip, then The Guitar Store in KL, Maton, Gibson, Fender, Lakewood and Cort amongst others. For Pats, I agree options are limited.
  17. It's because it's still at the bottom of Boston Harbour ( or Harbor if you're American).
  18. Tregothnan Earl Grey with a slicette of lemon. Being a heathen, in a mug. For those not familiar with Tregothan, it's Cornish, as in the tea bushes are actually grown in Cornwall, England. Admittedly it is blended with some Assam and Darjeeling due to volume constraints. Unlike a famous northern county that just grounds the leaves, wacks them in small porous sealed bags and pretends it's home grown.
  19. Miss the Nearns Ginger Oaties. Also since the Tesco 'management' influence has gone, the store layout has become a game of hide & seek.
  20. Bear in mind there are different strengths between the two hypertension medications, also their activity times differ. Also, if your taking a 2nd or 3rd tablet as part of a prescribed cocktail then further considerations need to be taken before switching.
  21. The last time the UK had a national salesman, aka Chairman of UK Plc, it was His Buffoon Highness the Duke of York. Could be worst.
  22. Not true. The Brothers Gibb were born on The Isle of Mann, so technically they're Manx not British. Their initial success as The Bee Gees was in Australia (Spicks and Specks in 1966), when they use to live as a family in Moreton Bay. They moved to the UK in 67 and 10 years later when mega when Saturday Night Fever was released in 67.
  23. As @Havefunme says, go to Fortune Town, top 2 floors you'll find them. Bought a 2nd hand Dell i5 last year, still going strong.
  24. Looks like the inaugural Cloud Seeding by the Royal Thai Airforce on controlling PM2.5 might have been somewhat over enthusiastic!
