smokie36 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevjohn Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had half a dozen on your tab at Diggers. Those guys have long memories.... 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!"

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
