Prior warning thanks so much. Expect exodus like before Songkran.

Well explained Peter. I hope the original poster can understand it.

Indeed, so sorry.

I think it is time I withdraw from this thread. I seem to be making it even more confusing with my misdirected responses to other comments. All of my responses really are meant for O.D. (bet he's loving seeing his 'name' up here so much). It's getting like the letters comments section in the Bangkok Post. OR can I blame my cats for taking over the keyboard? Sorry again.

Indeed. I'm so sorry to mislead. It was 100% directed at O.D.

Sorry. I also was referring to Old Daddy. In no way to you. Sorry to be unclear.

Ugh??? on this very thread you have been 82, 47 and more and your bio gives 52. I really cannot be arsed to read through everything again. Are you denying this? Do you have a problem?

If just jokes-- they're only JUST jokes. FOR jokes (and lies) I prefer Bob Mortimer on BBC1's 'Would I Lie to You"

How did it go with the bush grammar?

How many other of his statements are 'untruths'?

Why does he quote on his bio that his birthdate is 07/18/1970? That would make him 56 years and 11 days. Somewhere he is telling porkies.

Yes, I missed it. This is rather more attractive than what i had in my imagination.

Yes, MauRuce, That one slipped by --- it is much more attractive than the image in my imagination.

Not good at teaching sums in the outback? How does a birthdate of 07/18/1970 make you 82?

Now 78.

Very, very old Maurice. No never mastered Thai -- only enough to direct taxi drivers and tell waiters that I'm a veggie. Had MANY one to one and group lessons. BUT it gets worse! On my trip here through life I lived in a European country for ten years and never managed that language either. In that country they just laughed when I tried to speak BUT in Thailand they just laugh with my mistakes and I don't feel embarrassed at all. BUT I really did try languages. Many other things I never mastered also (brevity?).

What would you know about it? An infrequent visitor who seems to spend his time here on the internet looking for new titles to keep your name up there. I moved here in 1999 and am in no way miserable bitter or bored. Speak for yourself or even better --- don't speak.

Oh, they know of O.D.?

'Therapists' wonderful euphamism.

Was/is Super A the one at the top of the rickety wrought iron stains and gaping hole? If so, the first time I went there, I went for a pee only to feel my shoes getting wet. The downpipe from the urinal was only about six inches long directing the water directly onto my feet. On subsequent visits, I saved my urinations till the next bar.

according to google "Thailand still enforces a nationwide 24-hour alcohol sales ban on major Buddhist holidays. However, the government has introduced exemptions. Licensed hotels, specific nightlife venues in designated tourism zones, and international airport terminals are now legally permitted to serve alcohol, while convenience stores and supermarkets remain strictly banned from selling it." In my memory, royal birthday are no longer 'dry' days BUT my memory is not 100% reliable --- Leo beer and Cheddar Cheese nightcaps.

Let's hope they don't reciprocate -- in my case anyway🤑

N.B. and G.C. combined years ago. Was it Covid time or before? Golden Cock was an early favourite (only such bar open in the afternoons). i knew some of the boys at nature boys and they, including two brothers, would join a group of Americans on Balcony's terrace before work. Not seen them recently and the American group has diminished somewhat these days. I think I read somewhere that NB/GC had closed some time ago: must wander along there sometime. Golden Cock premises is certainly a pancake house now.

No problem-- in those days the disco music came from cylinders.

To whom can you be referring?
