Keeps

Same here. Gateway timeout messages. In Thailand - no VPN switched on. Had a couple about 90 minutes ago.

You up for catering the buffet?

I'll be Santa. I've got a big, red sack and only cum (sic) once a year. Could get messy though.....

You should set the deadline to respond an hour or so before @Harrisfan posting ban ends. I can see him lurking, bet it's killing him that he can't respond.

Sorry, I'm staying in and washing my hair that month.

Surname Fudd.

It would seem being in a state of flux agrees with you. I don't disagree. I am not dissimilar myself. You must have monetary assets so, if you don't mind me asking, where do you keep most of these? I'm still flitting between my home country and Thailand pretty much in equal measures throughout the year. I will move here permanently but it's not possible at the moment whilst an elderly relative is still alive and kicking. I've managed to avoid paying any tax whatsoever in the last 8 years since I retired due to how I've structured my finances. Should be the case for another decade until I get to state retirement age when I may have to start paying a bit. I've got enough time to come up with a workaround to avoid this 🤞 If Thailand goes bad for you, where is your next port of call?

Sounds like Tom Yum Goong.

I enjoy a basic soup of chicken, onion, potato and carrot with the Stock flavoured by the basic curry powder you get here in Thailand. See it in many Thai restaurants and often described as Indian flavoured soup. Doesn't usually have the carrots in it in the restaurants. I often make it back in the UK and throw just a handful of rice in to make it a little more substantial but still a soup rather than a curry.

Just shouted that at the Mrs which startled her a bit but she knew exactly what I was talking about so thanks for the clear explanation. She now thinks I have some weird form of tourettes.

Forgot to mention - make sure King Charles knows where to send that telegram to when you hit the big 100!! 🍻

Not at all convinced it should be 'taught' to kids. Very susceptible to peer pressure at a young age and listening to what is 'trendy' and all the rage (ie woke). Let them make their own mind up in their own time and answer any questions they may have as you go along.

I would have thought maybe @Cameroni might have a suggestion or two so perhaps he will pick up on the thread now I have quoted his name. Probably not of any use but there is a place called house of paella on Nimman soi 13. Not sure how close that is to Novotel or what time they open. If open and close enough, a drink and couple of Tapas as too early for dinner? Hasn't the Novotel itself got a bar to kill an hour before something more suitable opens?

Blimey, you are going through the wars! Didn't detect any self pity in your post so I applaud you sir! 👏 Best of luck to you, hope you are feeling as well as can be and keep that positive attitude.

He looks a bit of a wrong 'un.

Is this Bignok or the guy he was having a dig at? I've not seen them. Pretty sure I don't want to either but now I have a nagging curiosity....

Out of order Bignok. No need to comment on anyone's physical appearance.

Yes, all those child abusing Catholic priests were a lovely bunch of fellas.....

She agreed to you BUYING a coffee FROM her like she does to every 7/11 paying customer.

Apologies that went over your head as a joking response to your reference to me being a misogynist. No offence intended. I appreciate I should really need to be clearer when responding to people from the South West and telegraph any intention.

Shut up you slag!

I am utterly astounded that we are three pages in, a Mod has already stuck his head in for a snoop and his only problem was a mention of Trump. Not even a mention of the bitchfest.

Why on earth would I be a Trump supporter? I'm not American and what has that got to do with anything anyway?

Aussies would be a great starting point. Never met one who wasn't a complete wrong 'un.
