Are you a real teacher then or possibly just an educated person.? So, in your opinion how long have too and to become interchangeable.? Is it just American English.? Sorry for all the question marks. Thank you for making me aware of the difference between contraction and abbreviation. Previously I was totally ignorant of this.

He was quoting an official statement. Which he does a lot.

I just said that (in my experience anyway) you exaggerated the numbers on Beach Road. You were attempting to give the impression that it is filled with them end to end. Far from the case.

Yes webfact all is well that ends well. Why is everybody worrying.? Why don't they just drink more.? Easy enough and for farangs cheap enough, so just get on with it.

Whatever information your local Thai embassy or consulate gives you is all that you can rely on. And then not always.

I have been surprised for a while. And I have been a bit pyssed for about an hour. Sober now till Wednesday. Just thought I'd mention it.

Rubbish, there is not a sh*t load of them everywhere you look. There probably is not even a sh*t load of them in total on Beach Road. Yes there are homeless people on Beach Road and elsewhere, the surprise is there are not ten times more. Another surprise is the low level of street crime considering the number of poor and needy and the presence of relatively wealthy farang. And the soft targets we must look to these people.

I was going to say according to you they are all closed but you are not worth responding to.

If you read my post I was mentioning the spellcheck habitually inserting an apostrophe in a plural. Not policing anyone's grammar but my own. You are welcome to find me tedious but I just like to get the facts straight.

I never realised Popes were patient, but I suppose burning people at the stake can be a slowish process. I wish someone would inform this spellcheck programme that there is no apostrophe in a plural. Continually correcting it becomes tedious.

Sois 7 & 8 have been disaster areas for a while and were deteriorating well before COVID. What do you do anywhere in Thailand.? Pattaya is not unique, as a tourist destination Thailand is currently lacking. As are many others. Tourists have to be very, very keen on the place to come here.

Unfortunately without foreigners Pattaya would be a real financial disaster.

He was responding to a Smedly post that said there were not even any 7elevens open.

An hour ago I had a cup of coffee from one in Soi Post Office (13/2 to the know nothings) I could have had a cup from the one on the corner of 2nd Road. So if that is having a laugh then yes I am.

It is not difficult to find a 7eleven open, certainly not in Central Pattaya where most visitors would be going. Sorry Smedders but I don't know where you got that from.

And the term was first used by the founder of Cowboy Ventures. Could have been worse, could have been Cowboy Dentures.

You are the one who spoke of hypocritical whiners and when you are called on it the best you can produce is bluff and bluster. Possibly a look in the mirror could produce the first name for the list.

Lot rainier here than there at the minute. And you can go for a pint without sneaking in hoping you haven't been spotted. But I get your drift. ????

Well get busy then, prove yourself. And you did specify hypocritical whining, not the standard sort.

Beaking off - new one that, to me anyway. Sounds sort of Ruritanian. I look forward to some examples of this hypocritical whining, as and when they appear.

Speaking of "rainy", whereabouts in Thailand are you.?

No it isn't, mine is.

I hope so Dr J, but how can you be so definite.? Based on what criteria.?

So you've never heard of him and that makes you clever, and anyone who sees his blog regularly is stupid. Fair enough.

That would be good. But uncertain.
