Would You Buy Me A Beer?

[smokie36]

I'm left wondering at the generosity of my TV friends. Are you generous or stingy?

I would like to know the truth.

I would buy anyone a beer....well mostly anyone.

Your thoughts please?

[kevjohn]

Smokie36 there is really no need to ask.

If I meet you back in Thailand I would most certainly do so.

Just have to keep the Aussie government happy, for a couple of years, before I'm back.

Hummmmmmm ... I looked at those choices long and hard and eventually went with "You are skint? Ok I will...."

But may I add one caveat ... I'll buy the beer all night ... I'll even do a ShanePashen and ring the bell ... if you'll buy my airfare ...

But you earn AUS$....OK I know you are too stingy to pay for the flight to Samui so I will make my way by foot to Phuket.

Just no nicking the beer mats OK?

No. Only the aussie women do that.

I bought you one last night, but you never showed, so I drank it before it got warm;

so it'll be your shout next time...

Oh, great. So now I can never go back...

Have I told you about my trip to the Scottish bar on Sukhumvit Road (that subsequently moved to Soi 22, I believe?)

If so, then you can close this post now...

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...

I was walking up the South Side of Sukhumvit Road, from Emporium towards Asoke, and in those days there was a pub with a sign of red lion rampant on a gold background. So I went in; inside, it was like any third-rate Bangkok bar, thick with smoke and linoleum on the floor; so I perched on a stool at the bar and bought a bottle of Singha. The auld fella next to me says in a broad Glasgow accent

"So whair'r you fi?"

"Hong Kong"

"Hong Kong? Ah wi twenty-two year in Hong Kong wi' Swire Pacific. D'ye ken Swite Pacific?"

"Yes, they own Cathay Pacific and the coca-cola franchse. So are you retired here now, then"

"Aye, I'm retired after 22 year in Hong Kong wi swire pacific. D'ye ken Swire Pacific"

"Yes..."

anyway, I drank up quick as I could and made a sharp exit, thinking "This is just like back home - I'm never going back!"

Nothing a bit of ice wouldn't have cured. I was planning to eat the flies for breakfast as well. SC is so hasty sometimes!

Apparently she is embarrassed at me poncing drinks off the locals. It was perfectly acceptable to share a bottle when I lived in Trinidad, I really don't know why she is so against it.

If she gave me more pocket money I could buy one back now and again!
