Patrick I remember that tabloid now and yes, the Night Owl was much more prolific in there where 4 tabloid pages = a couple in broadsheet. I stand (mostly) corrected.

Popular Post Boksida Posted December 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2012 Humanure. I think he generally wrote it as "HuMAN NatURE" Like Kurnell, I was always amazed at his trousers. The fly zipper was about as long as the one on a motor cycle jacket. He used to watch the movies at weekends in the Napoleon (shown with a projector) and would have to undo the zipper and belt so he could sit down comfortably. Disturbing sight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnniey Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) He used to have two full pages in the Bangkok Post. Quite rightly they started to cut him down then got rid of him. How irresponsible was he for his writings on HIV being harmless, not causing AIDS whilst telling readers where to pick up prostitutes! A lecherous old whore-monger if the truth is wanted.

Patrick Up to a few years ago he would hold court in Lucky Lukes. Whatever happened to his readers who promised to follow him to the ends of the earth? Nothing more than a relic from a bygone era who was unwilling or unable to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GuestHouse Posted December 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2012 Regardless of opinions about Trink the man he is nevertheless part of the history of Thailand's nightlife (arguably throughout the very best years). He has also done something few people living have, added a whole bunch of words and phrases to the expat lexicon. Rest assured expats will be using 'Trinkisms' long after he's dead and forgotten, long after all of us are dead and forgotten and I expect we'll all be forgotten before Trink is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) don't you man you are either old or you are not? Trink was still writing when i got here in 96, but i really could not be arsed to read his drivel. His insistence denying the risk of HIV in unprotected sex was enough to put me off. pretty much cost him a job as well. all dinosaurs eventually die here is one of his gems for those that have not had the pleasure: <link removed> Edited December 22, 2012 by tombkk : I am totally sorry, but links to Bangkok Post articles are not allowed (forum rule #31) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
