anonymouse Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I noticed that TV member pun pun mentioned the great article on the ninety year old Major Roy Hudson in the latest issue of City Life in the CM news section. He is the uber expat of Chiang Mai, visitng Thailand for the first time in 1945 and coming to live in Chiang Mai in the the sixties. It's a great article, guidlines magazine did a similiar piece on him a couple of years back and he has lived a fascinating life. recommended reading and lets hope for a meatier biography at some point Edited July 3, 2010 by anonymouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Blinky, just had a few G&t's and started on the wine, what about your autobiography Good to see you're mixing the grain and the grape, anonymouse. My autobiography? What an interesting thought. It could be one of the shortest tales of success and the longest of failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Blinky Bill's autobiography would outsell Private Dancer and it would probably be even more erotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaihog Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Blinky Bill's autobiography would outsell Private Dancer and it would probably be even more erotic. I'm sure that a few husbands and boy friends would be asking their other opposite number a few questions after reading BB's autobiography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinky Bill Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 ps how do you edit the topic title? Corrected now. Well, now that that's done it makes my 1st post on this thread rather redundant. Yet another failure in the "Life of Blinky Bill". UG and Thaihog, thanks for suggesting I've been up to no good in my younger daze. If the book ever comes to fruition all names and places will be changed, any similarity to actual persons, places or events will be purely coincidental.

millwall_fan Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Major Roy Hudson is indeed probably the senior member of the British expat comunity of Chiang Mai having served in the Burma campaign during WW2 under Gen. Slim We are priveleged that he joins us for lunch at The Olde Bell once in a while and regales us with stories of a rich and interesting life. We've tried to persuade him to join the Royal British Legion, but unfortunately he can't walk up the stairs to the RBL room here at The Bell. In every other respect though Maj Roy is very hale and hearty and a huge influence on the British community here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I met him a few times at British Council garden parties a few years ago, and he was always affable and self effacing. I believe he used to play a large part in the management of the farang cemetery and thanks mainly to him there's an excellent record of the farang community who never left Thailand after their deaths.

Gonzo, how about the vision of Ulysses G and myself in thongs gyrating on adjacent poles? May he who watches out over us, shelter us from such a sight..... If that other guy's wife turned to a block of salt for just a little peep, what would happen to us should we ever be exposed to such a sight. Stainless steel poles, of proper pharoh or phallrohic shape... Stage made from the hulll of a decomissioned Russian submarine.... titanium of course for strength Music so loud the it forces ones eyes closed. Insurance poicy included to cover injury to those trying to get farther away from the stage... and the venue.... only possible at a funeral home... Blinky,,,,,, what in heavens name were you drinking last night to have such a thought.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 ... snip ... and thanks mainly to him there's an excellent record of the farang community who never left Thailand after their deaths. Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Loaded, We are sure we'd enjoy meeting Major Roy ! So many expats have a much better record after they die here, compared to their behavior while alive, and if Major Roy's powers help enable that, we salute him ! best, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJORUS Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I met him a few times at British Council garden parties a few years ago, and he was always affable and self effacing. I believe he used to play a large part in the management of the farang cemetery and thanks mainly to him there's an excellent record of the farang community who never left Thailand after their deaths. Hi loaded he did indeed do a lot of good works for the Foreign Cemetery but you are mixing him up with Major Dick Wood MC who wrote the cemetery book De Mortuis.The current committee has just published the 6th Edition with a further 60 entries.Youn can get a copy from the caretaker 200 baht which goes to the upkeep of the cemetery.Dick Wood is buried in the cemetery in plot A11A.He died on 2nd Dec 2002 and has a big obituary in his book,All the best Majorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
