A couple of weeks ago on a Friday morning, I discovered a large lump in the back of my throat. Hadn’t felt anything wrong there before,(maybe because of the high doses of morphine I take daily) but I filled in an online E-Consult with my GP surgery, giving details as requested. Later that day, I got a call from my GP asking me to come in within the hour and he’d see me. So open wide and say Aah and he said “ I don’t like the look of that, plus you have another one further down behind your tongue”. Gulp😟 He then said “I’m going to fast track you too the cancer clinic” and he duly filled in the online referral form to a specialist ENT cancer unit in a hospital in Poole. The following Monday morning at 8.30 am, I got a call on my mobile from a ENT Consultant Oncologist in my Local County Hospital, asking for details. Details duly given, he then said “can you be here at 10.30 am and I’ll take a look. So off I went, (quietly shitting myself) for the appointment. Open wide and say Aah again. “I don’t like the look of those lumps” he said. I said I’d heard that before. ☹️ Out came his Moblie phone and he took a photo of what was lurking back there. “I’m going to email the pictures to another Consultant Oncologist friend of mine in London and knowing him, he’ll get right back to me, in the meantime I’m sending you for a full body MRI Scan, because I don’t like the look of those lumps. There’s that short, ass puckering statement again. “Stop saying that” said I. Off to the imaging dept and had an MRI with contrast, then told to go back to see the consultant in an hour, when the report will be ready on the MRI images. I’d had a full MRI Scan a few months earlier for observations on “Nodules” in my lungs, so they were comparing the two scans for any new growths in my lungs or neck, looking for signs of a primary cancer.😰 Only difference in the 2 scans was the 2 bleeding black/red lumps in my throat. Whilst I was sat with the consultant, his oncologist friend in London phoned and said he “felt the lumps were old, burst, Retaining Cysts” (blocked saliva glands) and the MRI would probably show no invasion of deep tissue, which the scan results later confirmed. So, I went from shitting bricks, to happy as a pig in 💩 instead. 🤗 Just to be sure, a couple of biopsies were taken from the lumps for confirmation of the diagnosis and I was told I would have the results by phone in a couple of days. True to his word, the consultant phoned me 4 days later to confirm the lumps weren’t cancerous, but that it was best I had seen him, just in case, because he “didn’t like the look of them”. f**k off. 😉 So, despite the chaos of Covid in hospitals and many people having cancer and other treatments cancelled, it only took a few days from first seeing my Gp to having all the diagnostic tests and being given a full diagnoses, using the fast track system. I don’t think I could have had this done any quicker, even if I’d gone private. Thank heavens for the NHS and all those that work for it. 🤗👍

Good point spice. Now these girls have realised they don't even have to sit and speak with a fat, smelly farang to get a ladydrink. All they have to do is go on paypal and shake their arse and some mongloid in Manchester will send her 500b. Like you say, this could end up becoming the new norm. Just like ridiculous barfines for 'showgirls' and double ladydrinks on soi cowboy. Only people that do it are the idiots that believe flowers and NWG marketing, ''you're helping a girl feed her family''. Helping a brass feed her ice habit more like it, while NWG cream 80% of the money. However, to each their own, sender's will send, they always do.

Doesn’t change my life one bit. In fact,if there wasn’t any mention of it,I wouldn’t know,hence,wouldn’t care. Who’s to say what’s right? Not me,that’s for sure.I still enjoy buying drinks in person as well.And it doesn't in the least detract from my ability to feed my family.🤷‍♂️ I always found it weird,blokes telling other blokes how they should best spend the money that they earned. I’ve always been the guy that says “good for you”,to guys spending their own money in the manner they choose.

watermarks are off 🙂

When are we going to safeguard the old and those with "underlying" health issues and let the rest of us get on with it. It seems as if a lot of us will get it and not know, some will get a bit ill, some will be hospitalized and a very small percentage will not make it. I'll take my chance same as I do with flu, cancer, crossing the road etc.

That escalated quickly... lol I don't care who sends and who doesn't, just don't be surprised if they're drinking water while you are bashing one out behind your PC in your basement. For the bars though its a good way to survive in these difficult times so kudos on them trying to make some money.

Problem is it's setting a new precedent, that will become the "new standard". Same as the ping pong balls stupidity and silly prices.

The area on Pattaya Klang where paddy Bar was........looking towards the Klang..... Looks like Buzz bars called it a day.... A quick look halfway down Soi 7..... Soi Buakhao every day market... And opposite.......

the arse end of the forum is complx, noit difficult to be fair but full of stuff that you would be scared to touch. bit like a library and u have to find the right page of the right book 🙂 these updates were needed and not doing them just causes the forum to slow slightly. but when you do the updates, it messes a few thigs up. think sorted now now back to the tit pics on level 8 😉

Dimwits... Is there anything more dim-witted than sending money to a buy a prostitute in bar thousands of miles away a shot glass of water. 😂

No- that's what the Champions League is meant for. This isn't sport, it's creating a cartel

They pay more for a double act ............ I'm trying to persuade Larry but he's gone AWOL. Got a great story for him from yesterday in Bradford. Mr Mohammed etc fucking chickens while his wife was banging the dog filming it all and other stuff ...he got 3 years behind bars. Not sure what the chickens got ........ times are sure tough Mr Smooth ....

Don't give up ya day job mate. 😂

I remember discussing this car with you in Pattaya, and gated shifter or not I am still green with envy - I am a lifelong Ferrari fan but the only time I have ever been in or driven one was in Las Vegas on a race track where I rented an F430 for a few laps - I would kill for a ride or drive in a classic model from the '60s but with the "collectors" (better term "speculators") driving their values sky-high that wish gets more remote as time goes by - one of the prices I've paid for living in a remote area during my lifetime.

Good news https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12110326/england-to-begin-white-ball-tour-of-south-africa-in-november

Because that's not what the owners of the "top" clubs want , they want to create something where they are guaranteed a return ... there's nothing wrong with the Champions League , but the big clubs aren't guaranteed to be there ... it's all about money Salary caps just mean more money for the owners , it won't help support the game itself if a Super League is formed , that will take away sponsorship and audiences away from the domestic leagues and you will see lots of smaller teams going bust

Beach Rd...at 18.00 hrs..... Soi Buakhao.....

Well there is nothing wrong in what you say but I am not telling anybody how to spend their money, it is just an opinion on a forum. Doesn't make my opinion right or wrong, just a conversation, a view and that view is that sending money to buy drinks for a girl who is thousands of miles away where they have no real interaction with is weird. Just don't get the need to do it other than allowing certain bars/groups to get another money stream. Good for the bars but I just don't see the value in it for me

You are making it sound like the NFL, and your right. But there won't be a salary cap, and like the NFL there won't be promotion of relegation. So Man United with 4 recent seasons without CL football when it was competitive entry, would be guaranteed a place in perpetuity. Brought to you by J P Morgan and FIFA😀 One's a total rotten, corrupt organisation, and the other- oh hang on that's both of them!

Here ya go, it was a 1991 model with 17k miles on the clock when i bought it in 2001, it was as new but had PAS. I could'nt get on with the gated gear shift no matter how hard i tried, reverse was where 1st gear traditionally is and 1st gear was where 2nd usually is, i did'nt like it but i had some fun in it.

Its back, thankyou.

Water marks do very little to protect pics, in most cases you can simply crop the watermark out. For someone with @john lukeskills, he could probably still remove a watermark even if it was plastered across the middle of the picture. That aside, if you have one as large as the one being applied to my pics, then it spoils the picture to an extent that it's not worth bothering posting a nice pic in the first place.

Do guys actually buy drinks for girls from 1000's of miles away., wow I am shocked by that. Blimey, I have a problem buying drinks for girls from 2 feet away................lol

Gary who had the 69ers on soi 7 and amazon on buakhao walked away from the ridiculous rents still being demanded by landlords. Instead of throwing good money away, he's walked away and plans to open a new bar when this all blows over. Smart idea in my opinion.

I had a Philipina gf living with me for a few months in HK, playing that game with some of her admirers. In my living room, making sure there is a neutral blank wall in the back. And me watching it from the side. It was all good fun to her, me I didn't care (well, its not like we were going to marry...) but the behaviour and speech of some of the guys was absolutely pathetic.... Miss VN played a bit the same. Video call with overseas lover / admirer will laying naked with me in the bed ..... It was all good fun. Feck me, now I feel old.... none of this fun anymore 😪😪😪 only old papa/mama stuff....

Well, a much smarter guy than me did the maths, and obviously came to the same conclusion that I mentionned earlier..... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/21/covid-vaccine-immunisation-protection If you're pinning your hopes on a Covid vaccine, here's a dose of realism

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10164242483160246&id=734705245 Not sure if anyone can see this but i'd heard about this before with other people This is going viral on FB right now. Very believable.

My regular tipple these days.

Spotted whilst walking up to the pub one day.

I've said my piece before about this, who in their right mind from say Spain or Portugal is going to fly to Russia or Germany or Italy to watch a meaningless mid table game ? Look at the so called champions league after 3-4 games, it's not often there's much riding on the last couple of games as the big guns are usually already sorted by then. I've said this before and I'll say it again, tell the so called big 6 in England to f**k off and don't come back, it'd make the Premier league / Division 1 the best it's been for decades.

Thank you. 👍

What I've noticed is the first one in the list to uploaded gets bumped to the end of the list when the upload finishes. All the other pics are in the correct order. FB does the same, although it seems the upload order is more random. Another reason I use a hosting service like Flickr and then post links to the pics. I'm particular about the order I want pics presented, and having to rework the order of uploaded pics is just more unnecessary work for me.

Just arrived back home after spending 6 days in Munich, but travelling all over the Bavaria region. These are photos of a beautiful town called Fussen. Fussen is home to the Neuschwanstein Castle and is also famous for filming a number of scenes from the movie, “The Great Eacape”. Can you name the scenes out of these photos?

The whole point for me was being there, interacting with a girl, socialising, drinking with a babe, a touch of a leg, possible companionship for the night; it was why most of us travelled thousands of miles to be in Thailand. Now some guys are seeing only their money travelling 1000's of miles, it ain't right.

Don't think the idea would have relegation or promotion.. more of a closed shop

There's a post on PT of a video at Wrath bar where the lady is drinking shots that are being bought for her on livestream while some dude is hanging on to her. After her second shot the guy grabs one of the remaining shots and drinks it off camera. You can then hear in the background him shouting a couple of times "it's fcking water". Pretty hilarious and you could tell the lady was none too pleased. No way to tell if the guy was BS'ing or not, but it's mugs game to buy drinks for ladies that are multiple time zones from you.

Bit of drama between Liquid Group and Nightwish Group. One of the liquid group partners posted under a PayPal stream from a nightwish bar that the shots that saddos were sending PayPal for, were filled with water and not spirits. Flowers shit the bed in flowers like fashion.

Turning back 2 weeks earlier cos of bad weather i finally made it up Am Bastier pheww,another cracking day on the cuillin ridge in the isle of skye.And to think on my fb page a memory came up from a year ago when i climbed the small mountain in ao manao prachuep khiri khan,thats how it started in thailand lol. A short movie was made.
