  1. Can’t believe it, Le Pub is up slightly on last year, first month that’s happened in about 15 months. Last Feb must have been quiet.

  4. Amazing Performance.. Wilder looked shocked at Fury's power in RD1..Wilder called Fury's power, as 'pillow fists'.. For mine AJ hasnt a prayer against Fury.. I hope Fury gets great recognition in UK, for his achievement

  5. Brilliant fight .. I honestly believe if they didnt throw the towel in he would have gotten seriously hurt. He looked terrible before the last round.

  6. I almost cannot believe what I have just watched. All the years I became dissolutioned with boxing gone on the back burner. I almost did not watch it but thought well I subscribe to HD Prime so I might as well use the Box Office channel. What a performance by Tyson.

  7. Time for the bi-weekly update of the shrinking Mabprachan Reservoir. As before, for reference purposes a screenshot of where the pics were taken. Water Edge as of 23 Feb, 2020 Pic 01: Quite a few more tree stumps exposed. Pic 02 Only a small gap now in the land bridge. Pic 03: Estimate another 1/2m drop in the water level. Probably the last time I can use this spot as a water level gauge since it looks like in another week there'll be dry land around the structure. Water Edge as of 23 Feb, 2020 Pic 04: Innovative use of a boat's pontoon for a bridge. Pic 05: Pumps moving water from the main body to the channel leading to the pumping station. Pic 06: Thai's manning the pumps were quite helpful directing me under the outflow pipes to make my way across the land bridge. Pic 07 Pic 08: The gap in the land bridge looks a bit too deep to cross. Pic 18: And indeed it was too deep. When I was on the other side of the reservoir noticed a couple of guys crossing the gap. Both were in over their heads and had to swim to the other side. Pic 09: With most of the reservoir dried up decided to take a shortcut across what was previously lake bottom to the pumping station. Looking back towards the pumps. Area to the right is the wide mouth to the channel leading to the pumping station. Noticed another group on mtn bikes making their way across the land bridge. Pic 10: Two weeks ago they had an earth retaining wall around the pumping station and were pumping water from the channel into the small pond it contained. They must have dug the channel deeper as now the pumps are gone and the retaining wall is open on both ends. It was a mistake trying to cross the narrow bit in the above pic. Took a tentative step into the wet area and immediately sunk to mid-calf. Decided I might as well continue on and fortunately I didn't sink any deeper. Pic 11: Nice of them to leave the pumping station gate unlocked again for me. Pic 12: Looks like these guys have started a fish farm. Doesn't look like much change in the water level in this area from two weeks ago. Maybe looking at the top of the water table, in which case as long as they don't bring pumps in, they should continue to have water for their fish. Pic 13 Pic 14 Pic 15 Pic 16 Pic 17 Pic 19 Pic 20 Pic 21: The pump house in the above pic is now drawing its water from a pipe that extends a long way out to the main body of water. They might be thinking of holding the pond in reserve for when the reservoir runs dry. As mentioned in a prior post, this water is being used for the tourist trap, Flower Land. Seems to me to be a pretty selfish use of a public use/need commodity that is fast becoming scarce. Pic 22: A stark reminder of just how much the water level has dropped.

  15. I seem to recall bottle beer is treated as a double LD. You have to specify a single LD when ordering, and then they only get a glass of something that passes as a drink.

  16. Great TR. As for double LD, at 350P LD's I think you might have been paying for double LD's without realizing it.

  17. ........Emmaline simply didnt want to go home....after a another session we retire to the Pool and grab some Sun.....I find on Youtube "Emma" By Hot Chocolate turn the phone up and say "for you" lol.....shes mesmerized said she'd never heard before...friend for life in fact she hasnt stopped via messenger since we left.... Really noticeable the difference in pollution in the air. Absolutely clear skies in Angeles unlike the haze am staring up at in Pattaya right now.....Obviously weather will change with the seasons for the rest of the trip If you're into the sun we found that clear skies through to about 1pm and then a gradually build up of cloud I sat on the lounger and was soaked in sweat within 2 minutes burning off the booze.....and really was a case of same sequence of boozing and best Girls we could find with most expensive being that 2150 Baht (3500 Peso) bar fine.....I was lobbing them 200 Peso for trike in morning no idea if thats the norm or should have been more.....whatever every single one was up for repeats so clearly not an issue Favourites were Shooters Lancelot and Baiking (Viking).....if you want to stay on the piss 24/7 lol go to Voodoo which is open 24 hours a day even at 6am it was going strong and I thought it might be wise to sleep Special shout to Atlantis and Xs Showbars In Atlantis an absolutely huge place they had simply the best 4 Girl pole dancing team I've ever seen in my life all on one pole at the same time....absolutely brillaint and than some In Xs another huge place decent floor shows inbetween dancing.....Koreans on upper level decide to start throwing notes. I can see them floating down and all pretence at dancing as ended....they're 1000 Peso notes lol.....every dancer showgirl waitress hostess outside security guys are now on stage jumping to grab them....a one off ?? Nope lol...this goes on for 30 minutes. No idea what those guys went through but the girls were over the moon not surprisingly High Society was the main disco from what we could see. An absolute sausage fest for sure.....in the main they wont or cant go LT because from chatting to many they are hotel staff cleaners waitresses etc Mate had a double team for 923 Baht each (1500 Peso) and said they were right lezzers as a bonus. Geezer could hardly walk straight to Kokomos following morning The ones that did or would go LT were quoting 3000 Peso far too much in my opinion you can take out a Go Go for that or it may well have been they quoted high as didnt want to go in the first place. Food was fine for me. Others have said its bland but I was fine. Ministop convenience stores got all the basics we need plus snacks etc. Water was double the price of Thailand. There was also a 7/11 further up from top of Walking St.....local booze Gin was incredibly cheap. Laundry just opposite Pacific Breeze hotel 170 Peso for 1kg of gear worked out about the same for 6 shirts as Pattaya. Couple of videos attached obviously not mine.....Every Saturday Scorebirds has a pool party from 2pm to 6pm....as a non resident it was 500 Peso to get in....right laugh as you can imagine that and the bikini competitions. I assume if you're staying at Scorebirds its free Have uploaded one of the videoes from Walking St that was on youtube....it kinda reflected accurately the lack of punters strolling around Walking St...There are many others as well Would I come again.....definately yes. Same same but different a good expression I would say Girls Cheap...Our own booze very cheap.....LDs which you could avoid obviously were expensive.....Disco Girls cheap to boot. Group trip planned for November We booked via Hotels own website. Could have been cheaper via one of the booking sites but as only 5 nights no sweat Really enjoyable trip all around....... https://www.pacificbreezehotel.com/ http://scorebirdshotel.com/index.php The two hotels are literally 50 metres apart and virtually no traffic noise....

  18. Like RR007 said guys going to AC now will look back in 10 years and say those were the best times to be in AC. I recall the years from 1998 till 2010 as the best well for me anyway. his report got me looking at some of the 1000s of photos from my 50+ trips here are just a few. It was party central and the girls were far less business like. Glad to have been able to enjoy it during this time period. You will notice some of the girls in Secrets gear I always took a bunch they loved it I have Jambo to thank for the gear Well I am off to look at tickets to AC now

  19. So wifey and I finally made it to Lake Tahoe to see and experience the snow. First time ever for her, I had not been to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Winter since 1993. 4 hour drive from my home, the last hour is the best as you get into the Mountains. Pulled into Harvey’s Hotel/Casino for a 6 night stay. Nice place, reasonable at $90 per night for a King Bed, Standard Room, 9th floor view etc. Great Sports Bar for breakfast in the morning. The tale of 2 weather patterns over 6 days, first 2 days, 25 and 27 degrees ( -3 and -2.7 C) then warming to 44 degrees ( 6 C) over the last 4 days. Nights were brutally cold after the sunset. Rachanee was a “gamer” though, thermals, goose feathered jacket, sharks beanie, gloves and snow boots and she is ready. Don’t want to bore you with all the things we did, but a trip around the lake, over to the North Shore to explore a bit and small hike, over to Incline Village where all the rich people have their homes were all things we did. But several highlights were as follows: The Gondola ride up to see the lake at 10,000 feet ( 3,048 meters) is a must, then an additional 2,000 feet ( 609 meters) to watch these young guys ski/snowboard was fun………..23 degrees ( -5 C) will check your ego at the door LOL! Damn…….luckily clear and cold and no wind. Snowmobile riding was first time for me too. Never did this before and sorry I missed this all those years ago. $200 for 2.5 hours, included 30 minutes with a guide who taught you the right way not to kill yourself LOL! Then he leads 10 of us on a 2 hour, 16 mile drive deep into the “motherlode” of the Sierra Nevada’s. This was just outstanding, with several stops along the way for photos etc. I had no idea how fast 40 MPH ( 60KM) is on one of these. These things get real fast, real easy. Rachanee asked me if she could drive the final hour? I was hoping she wouldn’t ask. She took the lesson like all of us, she did go much slower though. My biggest concern was she was going to go off some ravine in 200 feet of snow, no one would notice we were gone from the group, they would find us next May when the snow melts, looking like a couple of frozen popsicle sticks LOL! She did well though and we made it back safely. Night time activities? Well it should be obvious, buffet dinners, had a great meal at Montbleu Casino with Chinese Food, then what else but drink and gamble a bit. Told Rachanee I was going to give her $100 per night to gamble…….her eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree! She has fun with it, one night at Hard Rock she wants to “throw the dice” OK….get to our turn at the table, good crowd, $10 min, puts $20 on the pass line, rolls a “Nine” so the point is 9 right? Previous to this she asked me why this one guy keeps yelling “33”? She said no 33 on the board. I told her that the point was 6, then if he rolls a “hard 6” which is both dice have to come up 3 and 3..he not only wins on the pass line for hitting his point, he also gets 9 to 1 payout, for this for rolling 3 and 3. She gets ready to roll on her 4th roll right? She yells out “Gao” the stickman and the pit boss look at me and I tell them “Oh, that’s Thai language for 9” They both laughed. 2 rolls later she rolls a nine and wins another $20….she was happy and so was the rest of the guys who played pass line or the field. By far, Hard Rock Casino had the best looking girls working there, there were 2 Philipino gals dealing Blackjack that were pretty fine for sure. The Casinos are pretty cool letting you take pics inside, just no pics allowed anywhere near the gaming tables, but anywhere near the slot machines are fair game with no hassles. Security guys helped us take a few pics….cool dudes. On Friday night we hit “Opal” nightclub at Montbleu Casino, $15 cover for guys, girls get in free. No cameras allowed as they have topless Go Go dancers who not all night, but at some points in the evening, drop their tops for a song or two. Security guys are cool, check your camera in for you no charge. This Fri evening was “80’s funk/disco” night” Play that funky music…white boy…..right up my alley LOL! Forgot how good all those tunes sounded….especially buzzed! Nice looking girls doing bottle service and a good crowd of ladies over all there. Crown Royal and Seven Up was $15 per drink well poured, wifey had Corona at $12 per. Great trip and Lake Tahoe still fun after all these years.

  26. It’s because he has a big head and traps off about how awesome he is......if he was so awesome he would be getting younger girls without paying a bean. I also remember him saying said the reason he moved to Thailand was because he couldn’t get any chicks in the US that ‘wasn’t obese’ despite his cash and awesomeness 🙄 he needs to make his mind up ffs..... Most of us here do/have paid for hookers and it is what it is so we are in no position to have any moral ground over anyone else. It’s just his incessant boasting about how awesome he is that deserves ridicule. I get that you are his mate, but sorry where I see someone spouting bollox I’m going to take the piss out of them despite who they are friends with. The moral of the story is get it quietly and don’t mouth off despite how awesome and successful you think you are 🙄

  27. Used the ATM at PB regularly, worked a treat each time although I did let my bank know I was in Asia (China and Philippines) Double LDs are a bit of a pain if being hit up for them but this trip (late December) I was asked on every occasion if it was OK for a DLD and where I wanted too I said OK. Mostly when entertaining a new lady off the stage or waitress I tended to tell them I would buy them a single LD but maybe later would buy a DLD if they held my attention, usually that meant just buying the SLD before I moved on. My experience is that buying SLD has never been a problem to the girl, a lot of guys seem embarrassed to deny them a DLD though and more fool them. I am aware from some forums that some of the lower Fields bar only have DLD but those bars were mainly the Korean owned bars that I tended to keep away from. The bars from Shooters up towards check point were still offering SLD as well as DLD so I never bought DLD unless I agreed in advance which I did in Insomnia bar on a few occasions as I was comfortable there. We still hold the gold and right now it is not busy in the bars from what I have recently been told. I was thinking of going in April and going via Hong Kong would be my normal route but that together with travel from China and Macau has been restricted so I would need to go a different way. I am sure that many Koreans are not traveling so Angeles may be a good destination for those who can get there.

  29. One of the reasons SARS died out was hot & humid weather. China & South Korea are still in winter and pretty cold. Maybe a reason for no big outbreak in Thailand? Just a thought.

  30. Sounds interesting. You got a good deal at 99p for the Kindle. US pricing has it more dear than the hardcover price, which is just fcking crazy. That's not the author's fault, it's the publisher who sets these crazy prices. I'm all supporting the author by purchasing their books, but $5 USD for a title that's delivered as a bunch of electrons is about my limit.

  31. a lot different from the 80s when BGs LDs was mainly orangeaid or some other form of makeup water drink. met a old asia hand on first PI trip back in 1980 who told me "mate don't give Asians alcohol" sends them batty was his words.i did not buy grog for many years, there was a lot of dope around in the i980s,around bars in both Manila and AC. seen some bad blues amoungst the BGs full of grog or yaa baa,causes some bad fighting over stealing punters or some other insult,PIs was not as savage as the thai BGs. in Manila seen male door staff using wooden trugeons slap the girls up the side of the head quick smart when the shit hit the fan. f**k how come iam starting to remember all this shit,when I can't find me glasses and they are sitting on top of me head regards grayray

  32. Haven't been there yet, but maybe once the weather warms up for a concert. Some big names coming up. I couldn't afford to just hand over a $100 dollar chip to anyone, any idea how many Tiger beers that would buy in a beer bar? Lol.. Actually the biggest casino "in my backyard" is Thunder Valley, which is huge with the Asian crowd. In fact, heard through the grapevine at work that some of my fellow employees of Filipino descent are always working overtime to compensate for their gambling habit, or their WIVES gambling habit! Lol.. They also have an amphitheater for large acts, maybe the classic rockers who can no longer fill an arena sized venue but can still draw them in at a 3500-5000 seat venue. Think Peter Frampton. If you ever decide to head up on a weekend, give me a couple weeks notice here by pm, and I'll see of I could drive up and meet for lunch.

  33. "He had risen from Private to Colonel in four years." "In 1953, his wartime rank of colonel was made permanent, and on 23 July 1959, Jimmy Stewart was promoted to Brigadier General." "During his military service, Brigadier General James Maitland Stewart was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with one oak leaf cluster (two awards); the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters; the Distinguished Service Medal; and the Croix de Guerre avec Palme (France)." Now that is a distinguished military career. RIP Jimmy Stewart

  35. They learned from experience. Early on in the project their construction practises were pretty amateurish. Simple things like shoring up the side of trenches when digging into sandy soil never occurred to them. Result was collapsed walls and the curbside trees falling over.

  37. I agree, those numbers seem to be on the low side for the USA, seeing as there 2 million + incarcerated, many still for cannabis which is now legal in many states. TBH Canada is very soft on crime, I could have easily sworn the #’s you posted came from my country. But sex crimes don’t end with just the number of months served. My buddy who slang the rock a lot did a few years, and said once one person gets wind of a newbie being a pedo or similar, in common area they yell “SKINNER”, and at least a dozen guys will jump him. Rules of the game. So unless he’s thrown into PC right away, the pedo will endure a few beatings on top of his sentence. Good YouTube Channel on a guy who’s very fit and did 10 years, Wes Watson. He said with the Whites, a newbie is forced to show their “paperwork“ (charges) right away. Any sex crimes and their own people will kill on sight. Some guys have been murdered for no reason because the shot callers got confused and assumed they were pedos right away. Prison is crazy no matter where you are, I went for 5 whole hours for some BS when I was young and realized it wasn’t a place for me

  38. When US Navy called port in HKG, you had banners "Welcome US Navy" or "Welcome USS xxx" in most bars. Guys made ne secret who they were, and happy to have a chat. Guys, sadly for them have strict rules, and what surprised me most ..followed them. Of course with the new CIC relations with Bejing, it's been some time since one visited. Many moons ago, had some good evening with them in Pusan, South Korea. There is absolutely no reason why they should not be proud of what they are. Same as any military.

He almost married Apple from Secrets years ago good thing he didn't we still laugh about that to this day. If you love it there now you absolutely would have never wanted to leave 5 to 10 years ago it's a totally different place Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk

  42. Never understood the concern with how many people were around. Crowds or no one around. As long as there are girls around and a few good friends or all alone. Always made do and created sanook no matter what. A good time has to be created no matter how many swinging dicks are about.
