Unofficial Thai Visa Pissup - 18 Oct 2009

[mrtoad]

Considering some of the bad tempered posts on TV the name of the bar seems appropriate.

Good chance of a Western-style chairs smashing over heads punch-up I reckon?

I wouldn't think so.

No worries I think Khun Toad has been practicing arm bar techniques with HM.

I'm a bit out of practice since leaving the NHS and HMP -Although I reckon I've still got the technique.

[Mossfinn]

Unclean? Speak for yourself.

Sunday is my weekly bath day.

Whether you need it or not

[theoldgit]

At the risk of getting my head bitten off, can I ask what the venues take on the smoking laws are?

[jfchandler]

Crossbar, as you might expect from TV, is a great place for those who love to smoke indoors.....

I will get you a chair where you can sit outside and suck up bus fumes instead bring a mask and straw? Im in, willing to sacrifice an hour or so off my life as a non smoker to be in the presence of possibly the most knowledgeable folk on the planet. Everything from removing warts to the latest market price of Buffalo will be discussed whilst smoking cheap cigars and drinking vintage chung, isn't soi cowboy around the corner? hmmmm.....

Well, I asked the question which was not, IMHO, unreasonable, and whilst I am a non smoker I am certainly not anti smoking I just don't enjoy smoke filled environments, if people wish to smoke, well that is their choice and right.

I was simply asking what the venue's take on the smoking laws were, so I could then make an informed decision whether to attend or not. I did ponder over whether to ask the question as I was worried about the reaction.

I have always enjoyed the get together's and have met some very interesting members, I hope you all have a most enjoyable evening, I am sure you will.

^well dont know the smoking regs in this particular pub, but I surmise like most places in thailand - the law is ignored.

I'm afraid your wrong, Mr. Toad...

The SMOKING crew already did, scheduling yet another TV related get-together at an indoor smoking place. I'm afraid you and co. beat me to it...

[Moonrakers]

I don't smoke and I am OK with the crossbar.

[zorro1]

just one question guys Im non smoker but what is worse for you. breathing polluted air 24/7 in BKK or 4 hours surrounded by smokers once every 2 months. Im seriously confused by the logic on this one?

[britmaveric]

Don't smoke either and I had no idea about the venue's smoking or non-smoking. So in the end this has little to do about smoking, but a gathering for TV members to socialize.

Why don't you organise something then?

In the end, the last time we did have ameet up there, there were no complaints from the non-smokers and a pleasant evening was had.

Hopefully, you are not going to now go ahead and carry on about smoking /non smoking laws.

It's an opportunity for people to meet up, which Britmav has kindly organised.

Sorry OG, it was not aimed at you.

[zorro1]

lets keep it simple , those that want to attend register those that don't go the next thread of interest.

[britmaveric]

8 Days to go!!!!!!!!! :D

[jfchandler]

I wonder what would happen if the "pissup" crowd were ever to pick a non-smoking venue???

Surely, the world as we know it would come to a crashing end....

Rather than moan and complain, why don't you organise something. I'm pretty sure that people will still come along.

BTW I don't like you other insinuation of this group being a"pissup" crowd.

Anyway, time to get back on topic.

[Moonrakers]

Nah!. We'd just pile into the crossbar for a few later.

We haven't played yet, buddy. But the Lions having only scored one away goal all season I think you Swindon lads may be in with a good chance. We shall see mate.

Don't encourage him, he'll be bashing your ears if they beat you though, make no doubt about that.

No need to fear, Toady. I can fashion a copy of the Bangkok post into a millwall brick if the Moonman gets too unruly,

I think that Britmav will be bringing along his new partner "Howard" so you better be careful. otherwise he'll put you in an armlock.

[Moonrakers]

He'll gave to find him in all the cigarette smoke first.

[Geekfreaklover]

Do not resist.

Joking aside, look forward to catching up with you guys. And if someone can get the landlord to put on some sausage rolls again that will be grand.
