When the sweet turns to sour brigade.

Where did it all go wrong brigade, moved to the back end of buffalo nowhere most Thais have never heard of.

Cant even get corned beef hash or Guinness.

The Nakhon Nowhere brigade, grooving on the fresh cool air, relaxed people and verdant scenery of a Thai autumn

^^^^ BN, always good to read a success story, its a shame these girl done me good stories are never posted on here.

I believe you live down by the river in some one buffalo town?

I live down by the banks of the mighty klong san saep, LOL

rgs, Saen Saep canal is like many canals in Bangkok, namely a disgracefully dangerous shade of black- lifeless, the slimy sludge slowly silts its way somewhere ( enough s's).

But Saen Saep canal is an excellent way to travel to downtown Bangkok or further on to the eastern suburbs in just a few minutes,heads down on the ride though (avoid all air and water on this route)

An anthem of all TV brigades, regiments and divisions regarding the environment in Thailand.

BN, as one who regularly mixes with the peasants and rides the canal boat, the trick is to be sat at the back, be aware of the diesel fumes, LOL.

Anyway for you on the banks of the deep end up north.

I live down here at pak naam.

'This isn't the sort of music I usually listen to ' brigade

(this album is used to in dog training circles, particularly for bang kaeows when they show signs of aggression after being exposed to too much Lemmy)

Ann of Cleves is the best track (Henry should have at least given her a test run..)

Arunsakda, apparently Henry felt he had been misled by stories of her 'fair appearance', she was supposed to suffer from body odour as well as be a plain Jane. Her abilities were limited to playing cards and sewing, not to good in the cooking department Not that Henry, the fat bastard, was a great catch but he was the king.....so might is right. Still she got a good divorce settlement and outlived all the other wives.

To link this to TVF brigades is not easy as very few Thai wives suffer from BO, though playing cards may be a more common complaint.

Here's a song about the eternally optimistic card player

As 'winter' arrives and the regulars in Thailand and TV forum,( some sentenced to life, others just a few years), prepare to enjoy the drop in temperatures, so the new arrivals, fresh to the scene, revel in explosive joy at a land where people can have fun without a million laws hanging over them.

To the freshies, the new brigade...

BN, good gawd man, how could an Old Issan hand such as yourself miss out this lot.

Usually posting from all points Issan such as Ubon, lived here for years and cant string a simple sentence together, never mind, solace can be found

on the net, with fellow loners who also cant speak a word, usually have to resort to sign language.

For TVF brigades wearing a hole in the barstool..

Wow, multiple likes, havent heard that in years, Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker himself) Ronnie Montrose,

taking a trip down memory lane I have just listened to This Planets On Fire (Burn in Hell).

Being a penniless teacher, I was happy to have a motorbike and side car but the missus was having nothing of it, I would be a lone rider (cue for Chris Spedding). Instead I was forced to step up to the pick up driver status.

To the keeping up with the Jones unwillingly brigade

For the ILBKK brigade - I Love Bangkok brigade.....

One of the best/most honest descriptions of city living yet defined ....

"There is evil disguised in the dirt in the skies in the city"

"Where they say the proximity clouds their minds & they shoot one another just to pass the time - in the city"

Follow the words...The audio isn't the best - but they nailed city living from every angle....

Jimmy Buffet/Mac McCanally - The City

To the brigade who like to slag off Thai teachers of English, ' I couldn't understand a word she said'- they forget the teachers themselves have had little opportunity to learn/ practise the language

For our upcountry boys, who wish they were back in the city.

Dedicated to the best city in the world, New York.

Sydney and London come later.

Well said BN, well said.

One of my friends here in Bkk is a Thai teacher, speaks three different languages, has his own language school, spent about 15 years in America, the guy speaks better Engerlish than we do, LOL

Anyway, hats off to you for still following the hippy dream and not being motivated by money, and hats off to Roy Haper too.
