  1. Pattaya already has casino games that are played every night in the bar areas.

    The 'jack' has been around for decades. A bad dose is called 'blackjack.'

    Sleeping bareback with multiple partners is referred to as 'russian roulette.'

    The more active bargirls are referred to as 'poker machines.' (or slot machines.)

    When a extremely versatile girl is found, it's 'bingo.'

    An extremely non-versatile girl will give you the 'craps.'

    Energetic male customers are referred to as 'stud pokers.'

    A big spending customer is referred to as a 'money wheel.'

    A twin act is referred to as 'two up.'

    :D

    Don't forget these.

    You need;

    A Heart to love a girl

    A Diamond to marry her

    A Club to bash her brains in with

    And a Spade to bury the bitch.

    :o

  2. I hate it when my mind says one thing and my fingers mis-translates everything and makes my tangerines pucker up. See what I mean? This post is a perfect egg sample of that which what I'm saying. Doesn't it?

    I say 'Bing brack the edit butter.' :o

  3. Nice post Oaky,

    Same as myself, moving away from an A/C makes it feel as though it's hotter outside than it actually is.

    I pity the children of some of my friends that live in the BKK city centre.

    They live in an A/C home. Go to and from their A/C schools in A/C buses or cars. Hang out in A/C malls etc. Makes me wonder what effects it would have on their health in later years. :D

    During the day, I have the back bedroom door and windows open. The front bedroom door stays closed which allows a breeze to flow through the back bedroom, down the stairs and through the rooms downstairs and out the front door. :D

    Of a night. Bedroom doors are closed and 2 out of 3 windows are opened. The middle window in each room remains closed. This allows fresh air in and stale air out, with the assistance of only a ceiling fan.

    Basically, it's all what we call ventilation, something that my Thai wife and in laws can't grasp the concept of. :D

    They're forever closing doors and windows preventing any flow of air and then complain all the time with monosyllabic utterances every 5 mins of 'RAWN!' while wafting a magazine in front of their faces. :D

    So what do I do? I open the doors and windows and they immediately feel the benefits. But do they ever learn this cooling process? Do they fukc. :D

    Week after week after week after week, I have to go through an 'air-flow dynamics demonstration' and then.....awww sod it. I give up. :o

  4. /Edit - actually isn't the phonetic pronunciation more like "som num na"?  :o

    I hear it as 'Som Nam Na'. or is it 'Nam Som na'? . or perhaps 'Nom saam Na'? :D :D

    I just prefer to say. '<deleted>' serves you right you soft tw@t' in English, then I know my pronunciation is always spot on. :D

  5. While watching Shrek 1 about a year ago with my son, there was a scene where Shrek arrives in the quiet town of Dulok. He looks around around and says to Donkey,

    "It's quiet........Too quiet"

    I've been racking my brains since, trying to think what film it was first quoted in. The quote was also used in a comedy movie last night on HBO called 'The Parole Officer', which made me start racking my brains again.

    Can someone give me a HINT as to where the quote was first used?

    Yeah, I know I can do a search but that's easy....too easy.

    :o

  6. How much does he charge - an arm and a leg?

    Scouse.

    Maybe he's from an upper-crust family so doesn't need the dough.

    Still, he's using his loaf and it's a job that puts bread on the table.

    Maybe he's got his father's business sense and his Mother's Pride.

    Groan. :o

    Thank You and Goodnight.

  7. It is important for men to remember that as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to yell. Let me relate how I handle the situation.

    When I got laid off from my consulting job and took 'early retirement' in January, it became necessary for Nancy to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for health benefits that we need. She was a trained medical transcriptionist when we met twenty-eight years ago and was fortunate to land a job at a local transcription house. It was shortly after she started working at this job that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age.

    I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper. I try not to yell at her when this happens. Instead, I tell her to take her time. I understand that she is not as young as she used to be. I just tell her to wake me when she finally does get supper on the table.

    She used to wash and dry the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed.

    Our washer and dryer are in the basement. When she was younger, Nancy used to be able to go up and down the stairs all day and not get tired. Now that she is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Sometimes she says she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this. As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening I am willing to overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing.

    This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. Also, if I have had a really good day fishing, this allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace.

    Nancy is starting to complain a little occasionally. Not often, mind you, but just enough for me to notice. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any, if you know what I mean. When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods than she used to have to take.

    A couple of weeks ago she said she had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I overlook comments like these because I realise its just age talking. In fact, I try not to embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for awhile.

    I tell her that as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock so she can talk with me until I fall asleep. I could go on and on, but I think you know where I'm coming from.

    I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Nancy on a daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older. My purpose in writing this is simply to suggest that you make the effort. I realise that achieving the exemplary level of showing consideration I have attained is out of reach for the average man.
