  1. I'd never noticed Belgians much before I came here. Same with Brummies.
  2. You think so.? Each to our own, neither of them look 100% to me.
  3. That effing h, the shame, the ignominy. Not me guv, it was the machine.
  4. Feel better now you've got a bit of spite out of your system.?
  5. The way you were extolling the contribution of the USA in WWII recently I thought that despite your nic that was where you are from.
  6. In your previous post I assumed "manors" was because your spellchecker was as good as mine. But you show that you don't know the difference and at the same time call another a no brain, well done. Or is that what you call real English?
  7. Quite correct, what a difference an er makes. Well done.
  8. I proudly passed English "O"Level in 19whatever, when pass grades and certificates where not flung around like confetti. Don't know why this thread has suddenly materialised after 6 or 7 weeks. From memory I think my original posts were an enquiry about literacy levels in schools and whether could of, should of and would of (as examples) were accepted as correct instead of could have, should have and would have. I was curious whether those using these phrases understand that they do not make sense. The response from gobs heights who had the temerity to question me should, I suppose, have been expected.
  9. You are a busy new member Mr gpg, I have not been on much for a few days so welcome.
  10. I used to be told of of "??il the till", a London lad with an endless supply of money who would do the same as Freddie but also pay everyone's bin while he was at it. No side to him, just the way he lived.
  11. Is the 90 day report still required of all Thai Elite visa holders.?
  12. Flicking down, I thought for a second it was you that said you loved the UK. Had to come back for a second look.
  13. Very pleased to hear it, but who says this is happening.
  14. Sorry but please ignore the word scan on my recent post the procedure yesterday 9th May was a biopsy not a scan.
  15. My experience of hospitals in Thaliand is if you phone, email or call in and explain what you need they will give you a quote. They are businesses and you are a potential customer. Of course there will be charges for each appointment and then the job itself will have charges for materials, admin and suchlike
  16. Further update on the scan (that I had yesterday), the quoteq price was required in full on arrival as.a "deposit". No problem there, and the final itemised bill came to very substantially less. A gladly recieved refund. Plus an overnight stay was included. The hospital itself is fine, not as busy as I remember Bumrunrgad or BCH being, but that was a while ago.
  17. You continue to ignore the fact that they say he missed his flight. Missing a flight and not communicating for 5 days would cause concern, though you prefer the more sensationalist word "panic".
  18. Because he MISSED HIS FLIGHT, and hasn't contacted his family.
  19. Pint is just a generic term, everyone who's been here more than 5 minutes knows that it's only 500 ml. There is no short measure, no cheating, no shrinkflation, no big deal, no problem. The Old English do a questionable 500 ml measure including a large head on the Draught Leo, but for 45 baht or 85 a "pint" (depending on the hour of the happy hour) I have not seen anyone send it back.
  20. Best part of 20 years ago I was stopped by an Indian gentleman in Soi 4 who told me I had a lucky face. Not feeling my sunniest that day my response was "I've got cancer you xxxx" which was the case at that time. He disappeared, and after treatment so did the other.
  21. No they were in Soi 19 long before covid. When did the English (Sheffield) fella sell it.?
  22. I remember it being on Sukhumvit, but my definition of not so long ago seems to differ from yours.
  23. Yes to this, good places and I'd be surprised if there's better prices anywhere in central Bangkok. On Paddy's day the Soi 8 pub had it on special at 200.
