UK pensioner ends up in hospital after Jomtien bar fight over music

[CanuckThai]

Are they sure it was because of the music, or did someone offer a portable submarine?

sounds like a good counter depression medicine to me,  maybe the Swede wanted to get into a lack-of-sun depression and what better way to get that than the swinging Swedes light hearted harmony.

#1  I am not 65

#2  I am not a pensioner

#3  The first time I met the guy wss when he smashed me from behind.

#4  I did not go to hospital because of a cut lip. I went because of a broken nose, fractured jaw and to have my ribs checked from the unprovoked attack.

I hope you all have a great chuckle and that I can be around when some maniac decides to let loose on you for no reason.

hope you got out of Hospital all right.
something similar happened to me, some guy pushes me from behind, I look not friendly enough over my shoulder and bang, with a concussion on the floor.
turned out he had a disagreement with his wife who did not like him to go out drinking. 
Ffing right she was.

but look on the bright side, you can read the TV enlightened journalistic comments ... ?

I asked for some baroque opera and I cant remember what happened after that.

put on a song longer than two minutes and you will get an idea of their attention spans.

Yeah, more details over music preferred by combatants. If it was Kpop or Techno, I'd go to the mat on that crap if I couldn't just go.

Kpop or Techno    I thought it was music we were talking about.

Ouch, that’s going to hurt a few love struck Romeo’s who’re trying to convince themselves otherwise...Harsh but true.

There are maidens in LOS, but you won’t find them in a bar...

No, down Beach Road.

Put the Bargirls in charge of the YouTube jukebox (40 baht cash per track). Sorted.

Thus no fighting, no more bubble gum Thai disco or Rap (jungle music). Occasionally you will get Americans or Aussie bogans aplaying Country Music but they will be few and far between.

At least Country Music is real music, played by real instruments, by real musicians and not computerised crap, sorry, rap.

True actually, some of the nicest down to earth girls I have met here have been off Beach Road.

Long time connections.

Much much better then any flake Gogo girl.

But, whatever one likes I guess....

Geezers who want to relive their yoof should understand that they need to grow an Edwardian beard, get big black discs in their earlobes,  wear skinny jeans,  lumberjack shirts, and learn to love their grandkids music,  or end up with a fat lip... 

Mr. Trent Reznor is 54. AKA Marilyn Manson to most

Out our way (Thai karaoke restaurants) put on farang music and they turn down the volume so you can barely hear it. Put on Thai music and turn up the volume so you can hear nothing else.

 

Commiserations and best wishes to the Brit.

65 years  old and still getting into bar fights. And guys here talk about fragile Thai men's ego's. These old men  need to grow up.

Amazingly I have seen a number of men get agro over music in bars and most of them were much younger than 65 so its not only the OLD men that need to grow up.

Only if their youth was spent with the Village people. And, Marilyn Manson is Brian Warner and 49.
