There used to be a moderator on here that was a scrabble champion. Can't quite remember his name. He used to write a regular article. Seems to have disappeared.

Wasn't it Charlie H? Maybe I am wrong.

No. English guy that used to teach Thai in international schools. Used to enter many big Scrabble competitions. Someone will come along with his name. Maybe Rooster?

 

Yes. That was it. Rooster:https://www.facebook.com/ASEANNOWBangkok/posts/asean-now-columnist-rooster-wins-ne-thailand-scrabble-championships-️-httpsasean/666827505241551/

...things not going to well in the Keeps household at the minute?

Last year she asked for something that goes from 0-150 in under three seconds. I got her a set of bathroom scales....

 

That didn't go down too well so I thought I'd make a bit of an effort this year.

When is Christmas this year?

Dates are always so confusing.

 

I mean, what is the date according the Chinese Lunar Calendar, etc.

I have a plan for Christmas 🙂  But I need to sound it out to see if I can implement it without getting arrested by the military...

For me I am stopping all forms of business next Friday until January next year. And by business I do not mean doing any work in Thailand. All my money is sourced from overseas.

 

I am quite free at the moment and plan on getting as hammered as possible from the 20th until New Years day.

 

I do love a drink and will be hitting all the bars and getting a couple of girls to sit at my table, but I definitely wont be ringing any bell that you see so many fresh meat farangs doing when they first arrive here. But if they do, I will have my GoPro handy for a bit more quality footage!

 

Christmas day will be the usual, slap up meal with plenty wine and champers.

 

I'll be 69 soon and still haven't lost my touch with the ladies or with the booze.

I can still drink and bonk with the best of 'em!

Same old story Robert. You really need to change it up a bit as your disguise is steadily evaporating. Don't forget to flash your folex watch and agree to the payment terms this time and not try short change the girls from Koh Chang again.

Not 100% sure it was Paragon, but they let us wear our own shoes if they were soft soled.

I am planning a white Christmas this year.

 

Unfortunately, my Christmas this year will probably be ALL WHITE.

 

 

[Prubangboy]

I'll be in Galle, Sri Lanka, where I am assured a turkey roast will be served.

 

As to Oscars on Soi 11, I just spent 2 months living in a serviced apartment 100 steps away.  At The Chaidee Mansion, which I cannot recco enough.

 

 OnMonday night, they offer a third off discounted menu of specials.

 

Have the wagyu burger, the greatest burger of all time.

 

Oscars is a true 5* restaurant with 3.5* prices. 

As long as I'm here, the Jamaican restaurant across the street from Oscar's is pretty good too. The Oxtail stew is a miss, but have anything else.  I went twice a week and did the whole menu.

IIRC Rooster is a Spurs supporter, so it's not surprising that he's keeping quiet.

 

I did enjoy his weekly roundup of TVF (aka Aseannow) topics.

 

Was it called This Week in Thailand (TWIT) ?
