  1. As soon as one door closes etc., Sheryl from your knowledge and experience would you say that Bangkok Christian and BNH would be the most cost effective places in town for the above treatments.? I am told they are not much if anything above Chula prices. Nothing wrong with the latter other than occasional language difficulties and natural matters with such a busy place.
  2. Which place in the Phils would you recommend, and how is Subic area for farangs these days.?
  3. Haven't got my glasses on and thought that said - will there be elections. Hello Mr D didn't realise it was you. I am a glass half empty man admittedly, but it ain't looking good to me. And deadly and expensive.
  4. Depends on the definition of God. According to the definition of one large denomination God is a communion wafer that has been blessed by an approved official of said denomination. Members will bow down to this wafer, carry it round in procession and even spend time sitting and adoring it. These are all approved or compulsory doctrines of this denomination. Then of course they will eat the wafer convinced that it is "really, truly and substantially" (their words not mine) the body of Christ, and/or God and the Holy Spirit. Difficult to believe, but believe is what they do.
  5. I just stated a few facts in reply to your other nasty and ignorant post. As regards alcohol, following cancer treatment I have had very little of it in two years and not too much in the two years before that.
  6. The item on the pope's head used to be known to satirists as the fish-head mitre. If you ever see a photo of him / one of them have a look. Perhaps you didn't take history at school.
  7. A bit difficult when you want to get out for a drink and not sit in. But some people have to say this before every dry day and think they are very profound..
  8. The people who are affected are the people who like to get out and about for a drink, not those who prefer paying shop prices and sit at home. But somebody has to come out with that nonsensical drivel so thank you.
  9. Try a Hotel 81, budget prices by Singapore standards (say THB2300 up) with a bit of comfort. I used to stay at the one in Geylang lorong 18, 25 years ago. Not too far to walk to the local metro or whatever it's called station. Long stay prices I hate to think.
  10. Everton in England Rangers in Scotland
  11. So after a break of over a month he's come back for more, and a new topic. Does anyone believe that these posts are from a genuine poster, or do many just enjoy the nonsense. I see from his page that he has 5 followers, good for them and whoever puts this nonsense together.
  12. What names has he used before.?
  13. "for sure", very South African-ish for an Anglophile. But I don't know your background so perhaps that is what you are.
  14. I would add that I also know people who are enthusiastic members of a masonic lodge. Bit of an extreme move I agree but there you go.
  15. Plenty of decent people in Pattaya, I am still friends with some I met in my first weeks here close to 30 years ago. You can meet normal people by going to pub quizzes, darts matches, playing pool or golf. I don't do any of those things myself but many normal people that i am friendly with do.
  16. Perhaps he's taking it to heart. Lewie/Bob not been on for a month now, that is not opened a topic. He never just posts even on his own topics just opens them. Perhaps he feels his style of story has become stale. Some were OK, others not but AI gives itself away sooner or later.
  17. Very good to know, been off it for close on two years and more out of touch than I realised.
  18. My memory is fading but I remember clearly Naam and Fred OBrien amongst others. Common sense types.
  19. Still stock Singha Light 3.5% abv.? I thought that changed before covid to My Beer 4.5%abv. Very interesting or would be if I was drinking again.
  20. Lou agreeing with someone, he is mellowing.
  21. Anyone read City of God, E L Doctorow.? Probably me but it did my head in. Back to cops and robbers stories. And yes I did enjoy the book, A Tree grows etc.
  22. Just to add the logic that in Pattaya (and I know that Pattaya is not a typical example) there are far more people drinking in bars, resto's etc on any given night than at middle class family gatherings. It is the first group that make it known they are unhappy with the closures not the second. Thus comments about stocking up are irrelevant. BTW in a previous exchange you mentioned a friend Mr Porter, why did he switch to Alliance.
  23. Anyway it's history now, everybody can have at it. Except the likes of me, well I'll probably have a pint of Guinness next week. Such is life.
