  1. My wife prepared this earlier before returning to work. Very popular UK Chinese dish up here. Roast duck in Toban sauce. It tastes amazing!

  2. So true what you say because across many forums you hear from guys (guys who are fit, well they think so anyway) that just say to go out and enjoy yourself and live the hard life because we will all die one day and nobody is telling me what to do.. The thing is a lot of these guys do die one day and that day is much sooner than expected. A lot of these same guys will end up regretting their lifestyle when it becomes too late and would yearn for a return to a time when they could have made a wiser decision. As for having a great life, we can all have a great life but at the same time taking care of one's body can be part of that life, a prolonged life. I don't take drugs, smoke or drink heavily yet I am as happy as I could possibly be. There are even guys here whose testimony is that they lived the hard life and woke up one day realising that it could kill them so changed their lifestyle and they are reaping the benefits of a full life as well as probably a longer one and their families are happy for them too. Yes there are guys who will smoke, take drugs, burn the candle at both ends and live to a ripe old age but they are probably in the minority, many will not have that luck despite talking about how great it is to live that way. Again we seem to admire guys whose lives seem outside the box or glamorous yet we don't seem surprised if they fall off a stool and are dead before they hit the ground. Yes we say they had a great life but maybe if they could wake up again they would tell you they didn't see it that way and would give anything to get back up on that stool again. Of course life is about choices, they do define us but they could also shorten our lives or prolong it. As I have said before this is not a rehearsal for our second innings, it is a one time deal and we should take care of our health above all other considerations. As Jimi Hendrix said “I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.”, that worked well for him. Then again he could have chosen that day to die but somehow i doubt it. Disclaimer: What I say sounds easy and I appreciate it isn't but when things point strongly towards a reduction in our lifespan it may be a good time to have a reality check.

  4. Only two days left before the Season starts, get your team in now for a bit of craic. Join in the fun of abusing @galenkia after each game's week, at his team's humiliation 😁 @JPK get a team in and you'll be delighted to see I have McGinn in mine, you know the now 50MIllion pound rated player that the biscuit tin wouldn't opened for a couple of million 😁 Who else, @Esco, @Horizondave, @Britboy, @roomark, @Punter, @coxyhog, @Scotty off the top of my head, and whomever else. Heard a whisper that might even be a cake for the winner ...

  5. Well Cliff, here is what made me stop smoking.. Finding out last October i had lung cancer also in my chest, going down to my lower organs and up into my brain with less than a 5% to 4% chance to make here today. i've been thru hell mate and i've lost a third of my body mass and i've just had two running of pneumonia and by rights mate I shouldn't be alive. Now, I would be the last person to tell any one on what to do or to pack in smoking but maybe if you read my thread and this post may make you stop smoking...

  7. True... and would I have had 5 months of stress? Just want to get away from it now.... Ironically I've just had the seller's solicitor ( through the estate agent) on the phone? They cant find the offending clause either, could I tell them where it is??!!

  9. Ouch . . . It had improved enough today to have a ST with a real stunner from TF. So, so pretty. Great site that. Things gradually coming together, android box almost sorted for receiving Sky Sports, etc. Really looking forward to moving in to the Jomtien apartment on Monday. I'm staying in the Evergreen Wing of the Areca and it's very tired. The internet is piss poor too, which is an absolutely pain in the arse.

  11. My friend, there's no such thing as a cook in Pattaya. Just some bird that's gotten too fat to sponsor or in between sponsors. Trust me, there's NO PROFIT on these meals. It's way more expensive than you think. You physically have to go buy them. And this COSTS MONEY and it carries risk if the person doing the shopping for ingredients hasn't a work permit, He or She can be arrested. Been many caught at Makro. Simply not worth it at these prices. It's a case of give away food in the hope of selling loads of alcohol.

  13. Did your solicitor not have an obligation to point out the problem in the lease to you? Professional negligence? Complaint to the Law Society? I certainly would be considering whether or not I should pay the solicitors' fees.

Send him a PM for a hook up in Le Pub ......top lad Steelers. Pittsburgh fan if you haven't guessed ..... 🍷

  18. Result! Invoice, apart from disbursements of course, waived. Of course, not the solicitor's fault, but one of her team, who will be delt with internally.... probably over several cups of coffee at someone else's expense. She even had the gall to end her email "I hope it wont put you off using me in the future ".... yeah, right! Spoke to sellers agent this morning and explained the issue ("never heard of that, just sold another one there with no issues, sure it wont be a problem, please dont pull out" sort of rubbish), emailed them a couple of websites regarding the issue, and will keep an eye on how they re-advertise it.... In the meantime, I'm back to square 1.

  19. Glad your having a brilliant time thus far. Once have sorted everything else, you be able to focus on building on your rolodex of pooying's info for anytime access. Some bash TF, Badoo etc. but if you do as you are doing and weed through the undesirables, the lovelies are readily available. Just simply picking up the phone saves a lot of legwork. I have enjoyed this thread and look forward to more. TFP!!

  25. I go once a month for a manicure/pedicure and they also take off all the rough hard skin on me feet, but where i go ain't much use to ya unless you're in Korat. I have to say the amount they take off is incredible but your feet feel so much nicer. Good luck in your search.

  27. Agree with Bazle here. God luck and I’d push the sellers agents too as this is an issue raised which should now be disclosed to any subsequent buyer. If o was the seller a deed of variation would mean nothing as they would be gone- doesn’t make sense to me

  28. Thanks Krapow, nice to be mentioned in dispatches . . . I have a mate who lives in Birmingham but works in London (he's a GM at a Grosvenor casino) who has won the Telegraph fantasy football 3 times in the last 4 years. He won £40k as winner last season. But crikey it took a fair bit of his time, working out team selections and transfers for each game. I'll have a look at it mate, though hectic getting myself sorted in Pattaya right now.

  35. It's like anything else, be it nicotine, alcohol, heroin or crack. If you really want to stop, I mean really, really want to stop, for yourself, not being cajoled by or doing it for someone else, then you will stop. If you don't really want to, then you won't, or maybe will for a short while and start again.

  39. Thats the whole issue "sell enough of them" . Because every other joint in a 500m radius is trying the same thing. Razor thin margins compensated by volume of sales works only in a very few domains. Even Grab and Uber lose fortunes with this principle.

  40. Yep, I know all the games they play and as soon as she told me she worked in a bar I knew what was coming. But it was fun and she didn't charge lady drink prices, showed me the bill all the way through the evening and when the other two girls showed up (undoubtedly they were called because of the Aussies, French and Belgian drop-ins) they weren't down to me. Guess I was there about 5 hours, two checkbins (cos I was gonna go half way through but changed my mind) the total was just under 4k. Considering I drank two bottles of red it was a good value, fun night. The gogo girl is going back to her Isaan home tonight before coming back to do another 10 day stint. Even after the rollicking I gave her for the love bite and scraping half my helmet off I'm now getting the messages "do you want to be with me so I can take care of you? I need to tell the gogo bar if I'm not going back". Made me piss myself. Very diplomatic answer back saying I've only just arrived in Pattaya, need to move into my condo, get used to Pattaya, settle in and don't want to make big decisions yet".

  41. I was a getting through 40 a day minimum, more if I was out on the lash. Lost my father who was a heavy smoker in 93 and decided then I would give the fuckers up but that was easier said than done. after several failed attempts using patches fast forward to 99. I had read about this new drug being available called Zyban, you had to have family history before the doctor would prescribe it. Anyway he prescribed it for me and I timed it so that I would have my last fag on NYE 1999. Not had one since and I couldn`t be happier. If I had not managed to give them up there is no way I could of afforded to go on holiday toThailand in 2006 and meet the love of my life, Supaporn.

I agree , but from the outside it looks like your country as a whole has become desensitised to this type of violence and even after Las Vegas / Virginia Tech / Sandyhook / Santa Fe / etc etc nothing changes after unless of course the perp happens to be a Muslim , then it's terrorism and you are all under attack ...
