Keeps

Invaluable advice Dr. Bignok.

All you are missing Bignok is "and I got all of this for 60 baht".

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 166 seconds  

I have to be honest. I wouldn't have stopped and picked him up purely because he looks like Charles Manson and he wasn't a particularly nice chap. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but that would have been reason enough for me.

I'm in a resort near Khao Yai National Park at the moment. 5 day trip to see some family and arrange a bit of building work on a relative's house. Weather is absolutely beautiful. Very sunny but a bit of a breeze. Have tried to go for a bit of a route march this morning but keep encountering stray dogs. Sat outside having a coffee contemplating what to have for lunch. A very pleasant Sunday so far.

Not at all. Just a general question asking for people's opinion. I haven't encountered any personal issues with them but I don't go to Pattaya but do enjoy a break in Jomtien once or twice per year. That ok with you?

Any particular reason to wait a day?

Oh, the irony.

I'll chip in with money for petrol....

I did wonder whether if the number of Russians in Jomtien/Pattaya decreased for whatever reason, people who previously visited would return? I very much doubt it though, perhaps other than previous frequent visitors who were put off by the Russian influx or expats who were put off for the same reason. Your typical holidaymaker either doesn't care who else is there or haven't done their research to consider the impact this may have on their holiday.

I would have given you 2 free ones with a gentleman's handshake that you didn't share that 'loophole' or go posting it on social media. I think I better give my mate the head's up on your cunning and maybe I just might get a free beer out of it. Doubt it though - he is so miserable he has an unhappy hour and actually puts the beer prices up! 555

You seem to be forgetting it's Bignok and he's an Aussie bogan.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

One of my mates on Samui has a chalk board outside his bar stating 'free beer tomorrow'. He has actually had a few people look at it and return the next day asking for their free beer. He just points at the sign.

I do wonder whether the guy you are bickering with will have a lower life expectancy due to him being a complete and utter knob?

Assumed I was on your ignore list Bignok?

Nah, I knocked one out earlier.

I know a bar on Samui that does exactly that. All the girls phones go in a bag when they arrive for their shift looked after by the mamasan. They get them back when they are bar fined or going home. The girls are attentive (although most have a face like a smacked ar$e) but it seems to work well and it's usually a good night for the punters.

Shame it's not everyday judging by most of your posts.

It's not the shoulders you have to worry about as it sinks between knife/spoonfuls. I'll give you that though, it's not easy to get the remnants out of the bottom of the jar. I follow my mum's tip though. When it's virtually empty, a tiny bit of hot water in the jar, give it a shake and add it to mince for shepherds pie or to a stew. Acts exactly like adding a beef/oxo stock cube and no waste. I'm not saying she was tight but.....

Says it all really. Complete and utter madness.

I am assuming the word you used wasn't 'delicious' or something along those lines as it came up as deleted? 555

I see you make this comment from time to time but really don't get it. I have never seen nor eaten a hot pork pie. Perhaps it's an Aussie thing? I take it you you know what an English pork pie actually is (and I promise I am not trying to be condescending)? Besides the seasoned pork, it contains gelatin made from pigs trotters. It solidifies and stops the pork becoming dry. I know this doesn't sound particularly appealing but they really are delicious with English mustard and/or as part of a ploughman's lunch. If you heated it up it would be a soggy mess with molten pig trotter fluid flowing out.

Vegemite is what you crap out after eating the far superior product of Marmite. 555

Bet you wish you hadn't. 555
