??? what drugs are you on?

I'd be happy to tell you but perhaps over a coffee and in private would be best.

I would strongly recommend Norgesic though.

A great anti-inflammatory.

What drugs are you on? Care to share?

17, 658 posts?

trying to the math

365 days/year - let's say 2 posts per day = 730 posts

730 posts per year x 20 years = 14,600

Nope that can't be correct!

You haven't been online for 20 years!

mmmmmmmm ok lets try 8 posts per day = 2920 per year

Oh my1 aren't we sensitive tonight?

Is that you in the picture or just who you wish you were?

Emoticons really do underscore an individuals weakness for crutch support!

Unfortunately you are averaging 5 a day. Mostly gibberish.

He does have his moments. He made a post on Dukes for sale that showed he knew what he was talking about. On the other hand some times I think he is just plain crazy. But I have to remember this is Thai Visa and maybe we are all a little on the crazy side. I admit I am.

whatever it is ridiculous that Auld Lang Syne (correct spelling) is used as music to the Junta's favourite song they broadcast daily

never a truer word spoke in jest,think posters have just got use to your idiosyncrasy,nj.sure some one loves you???

Did you write that in your Streatham bedsit?

Clapham?

I never thought it would happen

With me and the girl from Clapham

Out on the windy common

That night I ain't forgotten

When she dealt out the rations

With some or other passions

I said "you are a lady"

"Perhaps" she said. "I may be"

We moved in to a basement

With thoughts of our engagement

We stayed in by the telly

Although the room was smelly

We spent our time just kissing

The Railway Arms we're missing

But love had got us hooked up

And all our time it took up

I got a job with Stanley

He said I'd come in handy

And started me on Monday

So I had a bath on Sunday

I worked eleven hours

And bought the girl some flowers

She said she'd seen a doctor

And nothing now could stop her

I worked all through the winter

The weather brass and bitter

I put away a tenner

Each week to make her better

And when the time was ready

We had to sell the telly

Late evenings by the fire

With little kicks inside her

This morning at four fifty

I took her rather nifty

Down to an incubator

Where thirty minutes later

She gave birth to a daughter

Within a year a walker

She looked just like her mother

If there could be another

And now she's two years older

Her mother's with a soldier

She left me when my drinking

Became a proper stinging

The devil came and took me

From bar to street to bookie

No more nights by the telly

No more nights nappies smelling

Alone here in the kitchen

I feel there's something missing

I'd beg for some forgiveness

But begging's not my business

And she won't write a letter

Although I always tell her

And so it's my assumption

I'm really up the junction

There will always be posters such as yourself that a simple emoticon will speak a thousand words in response.

That counts as a post, no need to write much cos there's loads like you. wink.png .

Hope I've helped you out.

whatever it is ridiculous that Auld Lang Syne (correct spelling) is used as music to the Junta's favourite song they broadcast daily

They use the same music for a song for the royalty.

From wikipedia about Auld lang syne.

n Thailand, the song "Samakkhi Chumnum" ("สามัคคีชุมนุม", "Together in unity"), which is set to the familiar melody, is sung after sporting fixtures, and at the end of Boy Scout jamborees, as well as for the New Year. The Thai lyrics are about the King and national unity, and many Thais are not aware of the song's "Western" origin.

yes I know it's a Scottish tune so they even 'steal' that (with no acknowledgement)

how 'Thai'
