Nick runs a good bar thats always had a following with expats etc. He's been around in Chiangmai longer than a lot of you & when he does something he does it well so a facelift is no surprise when you run a gold mine? He's seen many bars & owners go by the by!!! as we all have seen --- but he's no slug---done pretty well for himself out of it & he don't even need it ---- just like Sandy at the Irish. Got to give it to these guys--- & as you know doing any biz in Thailand can and is hard---some make it --- many don't but they have done the miles and still doing them. You need help & advice then these guys have seen it all!!!

More importantly.......does the Maddog facelift include the ever needed attitude adjustment of the cantankerous and somewhat petulant, day time manager of the establishment ?

Every good British pub has a cantankerous and petulant barmaid, preferably good looking, of a certain age and well stacked. We men can ogle her while slightly fearing her, and melting under the illusion that we are in with a chance if she shows us the remotest bit of kindness or attention.

I concur that Mad Dog has the best breakfast in town and I furthermore concur that the day-time manager slightly terrifies me, but then she sometimes gives me a smile, I melt, and come back in again the next day.

I bet it's driving some of you crazy to think that theblether has been sitting next to you having breakfast and you didn't know

I'd go one step further, and state that this is actually *ESSENTIAL* also to assess one's level of intoxication. Bars need a perfectly calibrated Five Pint Princess, someone borderline hideous when you walk in. Then when she starts looking attractive, you KNOW you should slow down your drinking, or risk going beyond 'the zone'. It's a feature; use it.

Im finding this doesnt work the other way around for me. If the bar is full of frogs, alcohol isnt making them princes. Should i be drinking something in particular?

That day time manager has been around for many years in many establishments.

She holds her age well.

Did it open today.

They used to have a really good breakfast there.

No just drink more.......there comes a point when your self defence surrenders to the inevitable, and you have the arm gnawing sensation the next morning when you wake up next to the horror from the deep.

We men have all done it, to have truly lived you should do it too........and never forget the exquisite agony of the Walk of Shame afterwards

Is it something one must do as a right of passage? You dont recon my bf would mind?

For you Eek it would have to be bald head, massive beer gut, no shirt, short shorts with belt under gut and sandals with black socks.....and he thinks he's sexy.........then you can finally say you have arrived.

It absolutely is, and part of the Walk of Shame agony is trying to work out what you are going to tell your boyfriend when he asks the inevitable question. " Where have you been? "

Painful.

Malibu Nam Som. Or Malibu Pineapple. (That's a personal recommendation; fust a tad more class than the traditional women's staple: Bacardi Breezers.)

She holds her age well.

Yes she does hold her age well (she must be mid thirties by now), almost as good as she holds her grumpy demeanor, haha. She was at Blinky Bills (Godspeed Ian) establishment before Maddogs if memory serves me right. Where else has she hung her shingle and has her nature been consistent, or was her smile quicker to draw in years past? Is she reflecting the demographics of the place and getting more sour faced as the calendar pages fly by?

Looking forward to a Full English at Maddogs soon enough, maybe even get a smile from the barmaid. Maybe not.

"Holds her age well"

"mid thirtys by now"

Yes, I LOL'd at that one too.

You kind of wonder how the age scale for Thai females runs in the eyes of the Farang beholder (beer holder)...

Prime: 18-22

Mature: 23-25

Over the hill: 26-30

Middle Age: 31-35

Grandma: 36+

Haha if you only knew how many dusty old ones I've pulled down off the shelves over the years.

Does not look her age is what I meant.

Eek, perhaps try a bar full of les rosbifs...
