Patanawet

When I first went there 27 years ago it was called SCREWBOYS, rumoured to have been meant to be named SCHOOLBOYS but the sign writer got it wrong. It spent a short time at the end of Twilight after which it returned to it's original location in Patpong 2 where you could hear rats running across the ceiling space.

Who?

I suspect the original reply was a joke!

Took the words out of my keyboard (even spelt HUMOUR correctly🤣)

Unbelievable from someone so intimate in Bangkok, regularly visiting from a grass hut somewhere in the outback.

Please NO. I haven't had breakfast yet.

Thanks Michael

I knew bout Bangkok but have just been told it is also Pattaya (Chonburi). Don't panic -- open again at 6.

But how many of those 1 minute ''touchings' do some get per month?

much better than Spartacus was 'Trees in The same Forest' by Eric Ayllyn. I wonder if I still have a copy it would be wonderful for reminiscing. I think it followed on from 'Men of Thailand' also Eric Ayllin. --- still 'with us'. (may have been even better ).

Reminds me of Marc Fleming line "waving a Woodbine in The Albert Hall".

He wasn't the worst customer at Solid. There was often a disgusting late middle aged ,'belt and braces' person wth trousers up to his nipples. The boys trembled when he entered in case he chose them for the night. His activities in bed were not pleasant and he refused to pay the boys until they cried. Away from the bar, he was a 'respected' person in a farang public position always talking homophobically (real word?). This is all 'allegedly' in case he is still arround. Hurting my brain now trying to remember the name of the nice manager/partner/mamasan who eventually ran the bar on his own. Eventually, Solid closed and he opened up a small open bar on the right at the end of Twilight.

This is Thailand. Surely they ask in Baht?

"Unlike some" --- but more like 8.7 Billion -- your point being?

Not empathetic then?

Gosh, I'm a pedant. Telephone has not moved there. The ex-manager/partner (who presumably inherited the name) moved there. Setting up a bar nothing like the original Telephone.

That's the one.

I have been hearing that every year for at least 15 years at his time of year. Let's hope that this year it doesn't come to pass.

Woops, I meant David Cassidy

So near yet so far. Today's message from Balcony is that they will now be doing it on the first (or is it the last) Friday of each month.

Scores of years ago when I was a mere stripling, I yearned for an inflatable David Essex.

bless 'em.

It was so successful that I'm sure there will be another soon. I've suggested to the owners that they video it live (as does their regular singer, Gob, on YouTube or Facebook (not sure) and on the TV monitors outside.

Ha ha sorry, very Brit.
