Thursday night I thought the place was heaving. Whether they're spending money or just mooching is a different matter.

How many times a day/week/month do incidents of racism, xenophobia and silly little games occur. Do you feel that you suffer this more than others.? Surely the comforts of your property, business, family etc far outweigh any annoyances and inconvenience that happen to you. Possibly you're just realising that for you, coming here was a mistake. Or possibly the shine has just worn off. Happens to many people.

I was told it's near the bus station, is that correct.?

For many it's a last desperate throw of the dice to be able to stay here.

Urban myth or reality I don't know, but when I first arrived here in 97 I was told there had been a rash of similar incidents including one resulting in a fatality

Thanks Britman and Lopburi, I used to see a few from Subic but not for a while now.

How about accommodation, are there many Pattaya style rooms for the equivalent of between THB5,000 to 10,000 per month. I am thinking mainly of the Subic area.

BTW what's an LOS valve.?

Same as you, I had problems for years but only after a drinking session. Now I take an omeprazole a few hours before having a drink (which is only once or twice a week now) and no problem. I also have one before taking a kamagra or it's the same pain.

Ubonjoe was forever correcting people who spoke of a one-year retirement visa, no such thing from CW. The correct term is an extension of permission to stay based on retirement. A visa is what you apply for outside of Thailand when you wish to travel here.

But it helps if you are in a pharmacy where no English is spoken. Amend that to a pharmacy where they are not 100% fluent.

Nobody is being pedantic, but there is no non-O retirement extension. What you apply for is an extension of permission to stay. This is commonly incorrectly referred to as a retirement visa, both by people who don't know better and by people who should.

Thank you for that Sheryl.

Quite right sorry about that downtown Bangkok.

Hi, for a few weeks I've had a cough, for a few weeks before that I've often found liquids "going down the wrong hole", now I'm losing my voice. I think seeing a doctor is worth it, can anyone recommend a throat person or place to go to. Thanks.

Big of you to clarify your error but what did you base your statement on that he was English.?

There is or was something similar in Patpong but not RC and they did some genuine welfare work.

Not been for more than 40 years but I had never heard so many moaners as on the terraces at Goodison. I mainly used to be a Park Ender if that makes a difference. I wondered if they carried on like that to the kopites they worked with. I kept meaning to look to see if they were happy when we scored, but kept forgetting.

Thanks for that Nick Carter, good job one of us has his eye on the ball. Heavy charges, should bring some heavy time but take nothing for granted.

Still no report of arrest, charges or prosecution.? Strange if so, but I haven't read every page so could have missed it.

Quite correct, they don't say toilet at Buck House.

Damn civil of you, but it seems you were afflicted by the lack of interest. Hope it was nothing more serious.

Either on ye pysse etc in Pattaya or working in London or possibly a bit of both. I'd have to dig the passport out to be more accurate.

Excluding all the above it's only good news.

Very well said Mike Lister, I will continue to follow your career on here with interest.
