Belt and Braces? by the time he got his kaks off, he would have forgotton why they were off.

I read many of his musings way back.

Good to see, he is still above ground.

CAUTIOUS RIDER
TO HER RECKLESS DEAR
LET'S HAVE LESS BULL
AND MORE STEER
Burma Shave

When I was stationed in Bangkok in 1973/1974, I couldn't wait for the Friday edition of Nite Owl to come out. Trink would tell you what bars had specials, what PatPong massage girls were the best, and where to get some good grub. I wanted his job so much!

Yeah, and Thai Heaven was wall to wall T&A. Big barn of a place, used to have bands, dancing, and Muay Thai matches, male and female. The girls would spot a newbie and lead him off to a corner--do him right there. Of course, I just watched from the back, drinking orange juice and cherries and being simply amazed.

The hand job story is classic though. How in tarnation can this not be laughed at?

A handjob from a girl with leprosy is something you find amusing?

You're a weird guy.

Any comment would be superfluous.......

Nuff said.

Mr Trink was probably on balance quite like one of his latter "trink-isms" MANURE or quite simply a victim of his own huMAN natURE. His column had already become an anachronism in the yet to be fully baptised political correctness of the early eighties. Twenty years later his sell by date was as well and truly up as much as his favorite brand of Dinty Moore Beef Stew that he never seemed to find at Villa. Personally I miss Modesty Blaise much more in the folds of the Bangkok Post...

I saw him in Bangkok in the mid-80's. I had gone to one of the numerous pub/bar places along Sukhumvit Road to watch a Farang movie. Trink at that time was also doing movie reviews for the local newspapers. He came to sit next to me. After releasing his trouser belt and unzipping his fly to allow his quite large belly to spring free he sat. An orange juice arrived and was placed before him. The movie started and ended. He got up, rezipped his fly, tightened his belt and left. No payment, no thanks, no goodbyes, no nothing. The SLOB. The bar manager said he had to accept all that just so his bar would get a mention in the next edition.

You do realize that by using the SAS badge in your avatar you not only look like a wannabe idiot but you also show disrespect for the brave members (and ex members) of the regiment who have earned their cap badge.

If you want to look like less of a tool you may want to save your Walter Mitty stuff for the beer bars in Pattaya.

He had a very entertaining column. I miss it!

Some links to Trink's ramblings below if y'all care to read them...he was quite a character...

glad he's still breathing air and wish he'd return...love him or loathe him, that's your call.

As for me...I was one of the many who'd pull out his column after reading it and mail the

thing to friends residing back in those "western" countries...circa very early 1980's.

For some reason I don't think the chick is gonna be able to repeat what Trink did in any

way shape or form...just my opinion.

I like that Tony........ ............lets hope he doesn't come back & pretend he really was SAS, but has now found God..................

Well, I have read everything available since I was able to...definitely more than 15 + years...and no apology for doing do. Just reading or watching media does not imply a complicit viewpoint.

We all watch nonsense on the news every day; but we continue to watch the news. Not because we agree with everything broadcasted, but because we can balance and define our personal/political view point vis a vis national/international news and newspaper articles.

We all read material in newspapers and online that we disdain. This does not imply that reading Trink's articles for 15 years plus somehow negates the right to object to them.

We had the option to write to the Bangkok Post letters column, back in the pre-Internet day, but they were quite biased about which letters they chose to print.

I am sure your mother gets the irony

frances, its a social page about bars & bar girl prices ---How much (little) to pay for sex, where is the best place to go and see naked women----- its not the national news, I am at a loss how you can equate the two.

.

& when I am in England I do not look at the social page to see what ball the queen is going to this week just because its in the newspaper-- let alone avidly read it for 15+ years, I have no interest in what color the Duchesses gown was or how many sequins were on it--why would I sit & read something year after year that wasn't relevant to me.

.

I think you should stop digging now frances ---the hole is deep enough.

He will be reincarnated as a teenage whore with 20 years' endentured servitude to run. He won't be saying, "I don't give a hoot," then. (or waxing in a drooling fashion about the times when there was no enforcement of legislation relating to underage prostitutes.)

Go away, you anachronism.

I'll stop digging if you stop pretending you can read with any level of comprehension of what is being said.

Yeah Dave really.

I have met many of your type before (bar stool heroes) and every time that they get called out they crumble with a pathetic excuse.

Your excuse is up there with the best of them.

Now maybe you should change your cap badge to match your abilities, Cub Scouts should be ok but I'm sure that Girl Guides or Brownies would suit you just as well.

Hi ATF, so which bar do you think that the Walt did his SAS training in?

It really is a sad situation when a (supposedly) grown man has to pretend to be someone that they could never have been.

I bet he has medals that he bought on E-Bay.

That first picture was one that I didn't really need to see.

I thought that was him with the person that wrote the article (his attire matched what she said he was wearing that day) but after checking her out it doesn't appear to be the same person. Maybe they grabbed some young Bangkok Post secretary to pose for that photo.

That's definitely Barbara Woolsey, the writer of the article, in the picture with Bernard Trink. She's Canadian and is frequently on Thai TV.

We used to work for the same company.

Yeah there's loads of war heroes around Pattaya. They've flown F-15's, worked in the Pentagon, MI5, MI6, CIA, MOSSAD the lot. Just keep feeding them the Changs and then ask them what's a 1911 or what ammo is bigger .44 or .45 They are a disgrace to every soldier who ever fought.

Do you think that he is in Pattaya ATF, maybe Jomtien?

It's all the same place except more kiddie fiddlers in Jomtien.

Well it's nearly 9:30am, so I imagine that our Walt will be sitting outside of a Guesthouse in Jomtien cracking open his first Chang of the day and dreaming about the Brecon Beacons.

You, on the other hand, failed.

Ugh...seriously!

The sprightly anecdotal humour of a provincial girl with leprosy giving a fat farang a hand job or whatever for 10 THB. For shame.

The usual Western colonial trivialisation of exploitation in foreign lands.

Results are obvious the world over these days of this kind of puerile, irresponsible entitlement.

I read Trink from the late 80s until his final word. No farewell party was needed. Slink away indeed.

But you did read it, interesting

Yes indeed they've all come to adore the ''Queen of May.

May(be) I where a whore hero maybe I wasn't.

Those old Welsh sheep on the S.A.S. training grounds are such seductive creatures aren't they Mr. Walsh?
