Mid July 2024 finished radiotherapy (Thai govt hospital) for throat cancer, tumour gone but throat a bit of a mess. I asked the ENT doc last week as not had a drink for about a year if a beer would be OK now. Absolutely not was the response, a very, very small wine would be OK but not beer. As I keep reading that alcohol is alcohol whatever form it is in I was too surprised to query it. My throat is still not happy with more than fiddling sips of any liquid. I wasn't thinking of an 8 pint session, just don't like siting in a bar with water or coffee. I have since had a few cans of Heineken 0.0% which went down alright but not everywhere keeps it. Any comments about alcohol in wine ok but not beer.

He's gone very quiet, should we get the police to do a welfare check.?

And you are there every night of every week to witness these incidents.?

Bring back the birch.

Well he sees nuclear war as a coucon so has his own outlook on things.

The ones I know are OK.

I did. I found it very easy to read.

I like the expression diversity of opinion, the left in particular talk of diversity and tolerance of race and gender matters but have no tolerance for other opinions. No doubt you see things differently.

I'll plagiarise that one if you don't mind.

Well it says that failure to file tax returns was the problem. But possibly we are at cross purposes. Enough, it is old news, very sad for the person concerned.

I was expecting some details of the advantages of life in Mexico, or at least some affordable places that are safe to be in.

Very nasty for him.

Nasty. But if you have a company you are required to file tax returns. Did he lose the house or brown envelope his way out of it.?

When I first came I was told that buying a property through a company with Thai nominee directors was illegal but common practice. Nobody had been prosecuted or lost the property. That was close to thirty years ago and there have been periodic scares about a crackdown but I am unaware of many if any problems.

You surprise me guv, anyone who's been here more than five minutes knows that if the area is not specified it will be Sukhumvit.

It would have been better to ask him to specify the multiple ways and then to answer them one by one. The problem is he might just be right.

That makes two of you.

It's worn in a bit, I remember when it first opened I hated the place. The exact opposite of what I thought a Bangkok bar should be, my places were Jools, the Bus Stop, the Madrid and the Crown Royal. Like I say the place has improved with age while Jools and the Madrid are no longer.

Is that happy hour price or normal price.?

Best of luck to you and them, they will very likely soon be the big club that we've always been told they are. The reality is that the Carabao and the 2 lesser European competitions are only really important to whoever wins them The important thing in England is to be top 4 or possibly 5 in the Premier, which you should be this season and if not then almost certainly will be next year.

(UK) many decades ago a cat food TV advert featured this cat because he dipped his paw in the food and ate off that. This I was told was very unusual behaviour. Now cat sitting for my wife's niece one of her cats does likewise but with the water (don't know about the food). Anyone know if this is fairly normal behaviour or unusual. As I've never spent a lot of time amongst cats, I don't know the answer. And no I am not going to go round advertising agencies flogging the idea, just curiosity on my part. Plus being a retired old git with little to occupy my mind.

Possibly spelling it High so instead of Hi-So is what put her off. Doesn't mean you won't get another chance, give it another go.

Irony not your thing ph.?

I had radiotherapy middle of last year for throat cancer. It seems to have done the job but my throat is still recovering and the misses worries about the Bangkok air pollution so wearing one keeps her happy and might save me a problem.

Not into irony then Gotters.
