+1. Propaganda is a great little spot.

Personal choice but I find the Robin Hood a bit depressing. It's got a lot going for it - it feels like a real pub, just has no atmosphere.

Interesting topic to read some of the stories. I'm in my 30th year here, arrived just before Christmas in 1995. Left the UK aged 21 to accept a job offer in Hong Kong, thinking I would do a year then go back to the UK. After six months they asked me if I could help out at their sister company in Bangkok to cover for someone who was going on leave for three weeks - long story short he didn't come back and they asked me to stay. The thing is I was in love with Hong Kong and had got settled, made some friends, and hated it here - dirty, smelly, dusty, no infrastructure, starting over again not knowing anyone. After some negotiation they persuaded me to stay (ie offered me a load more money) so I thought I'd give it a go. Within a couple of months I was in love with the place and the people and on trips back to HK to visit friends I found it cold and cynical. Here the warmth was incredible, I was so well looked after and the people were fun! In HK none of the guys in the office were friendly (well only one was and I'm still in touch with him), only the girls - here everyone was super welcoming. Also the work here was great - I work in advertising production and post production and the Thai industry back then was wild and creative and different. It still has its moments today, but not the same. 30 years later, still here, still in the same industry, married, kids. Visit the UK once or twice a year to visit family but it is not home any more. On visits back everything is the same, grey, dull, but here there's energy, excitement, a buzz, the city is alive. Asia is where it's at and Thailand is the place for me.

Britain is turning RACIST against white people !
josephbloggs replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Oh dear, poor little persecuted Nick, white people are hard done by. Diversity is a hugely famous dance troupe in the UK and that is them in the picture and in the musical pantomine Robin Hood. Ashley Banjo - the leader of Diversity - was awarded an MBE for services to dance. They are on TV all the time and are - I'll say it again for you - a hugely famous dance troupe called Diversity. You've really excelled yourself this time. -

Wow, so nothing happened, but you've taken that to but something much much bigger could happen, it could be deadly and then someone could evade responsibility. Basically a load of meaningless nonsense. -

And to think some cruel people say Trump supporters are ignorant and uneducated loons.... -

So that's two deflections now. No attempt at answering a simple question. Why is that? -

Trap? What are you talking about? How is China not buying American aircraft damaging the Chinese economy? -

josephbloggs replied to FriscoKid's topic in Political Soapbox
What? I asked you a question about your claim that China is damaging their economy by not buying Boeing. And you andwered with some weird question about Trump. I know you are obsessed with him but I am not asking about him. How is China not buying American aircraft damaging the Chinese economy? -

How is it punishing Chinese people? They can now buy comfier and better built aircraft that are less likely to fall out of the sky - a win win for China. You do know Boeing is the only plane maker, right? (Actually wouldn't be surprised if you did think that) -
Wow, what's with the grown adults getting upset with emojis? It's really pathetic, it truly is. I honestly don't understand.

Emirates super saver business you do not get free seat selection unless you are Silver or above.

True, but personally not comfortable taking that risk and getting stuck in the middle for a long haul flight.

Nestlé Wins Legal Battle Over Nescafé Rights in Thailand

No they didn't. And Pepsi is still here as well as Est cola. -
The OP was asking about the stop on the Chonburi Motorway. There is only one stopping place with shops and restaurants on the motorway. He was not asking where to find 7-Elevens in the country, but I think you knew that and just felt like being obtuse.
-
No they are not. There is only one location on the entire 7.

I've watched it. I didn't feel oppressed. Musk, of course, called it "anti white propaganda" just as you do - I wonder where you got your opinion from? In case you don't know it was co-written and conceived by Stephen Graham who also starred in it. He should have had a black son so the easily triggered snowflakes like yourself wouldn't feel oppressed - that would have made sense. Get over it. The show is about toxic masculinity and how youth can be easily manipulated or affected by online misogynistic influences. The whole thing is it can happen to anyone. Only you (and your hero Elon) see black vs white. You see oppression everywhere you go - especially when told to by Musk - and I feel quite sorry for you.
