I walked by while having a stroll along the Beach Front - a call came out from about 20 girls asking me to come in - I rang my Buddy ( For Back up ) and we toddled over !!!! Apart from the 20 Girls ( The Boss says there is 28 in all - More coming ) Oh !! The Boss is the Same guy who had The Aussie WALKABOUT BAR at the lights of South Pattaya Road and 3rd Road ... We walked through to the BACK and there was a Swimming Pool with a Band ( they will use later ) then we got the LIFT up to the Next Floor where it a Huge Open Fronted area with a Pool Table and a STUNNING View over the Sea !!! Absolutely Amazing !!! The Toilets are Brand New and Sparkling...The Bar is Wheelchair friendly !!! They also have one of Pattaya Top Chefs to do the Meals...O.K. Next !! The Girls were Very Friendly - Loads of them - wearing Bikinis with a wrap around ( Maybe getting ready for a dip ) We had a BIG Leo Beer which was 140 Baht EACH..Plus many Service Girls.. I started Chatting to a Beautiful Girl who joined us - She said she use to work in AIRPORT a Go-GO.- Her lady`s drink was 150 Baht. She was Full of Laughs and Smiles...Great Company - She say`s if you want to take her for a 'Stroll" it would be 500 Bar Fine. This Bar is a BIG open Fronted Place so you don't feel hemmed in..It got a 10/10 from me - Nothing Like it on BEACH ROAD..Check it OUT.

Science has nothing to do with "common sense." Unless "Joe" is a scientist who drinks beer.

Went to Fitzpatricks for breakfast. Had the small breakfast....240baht. cheers

Couple more cheers

There has been so much lying going on by governments to their people for two years, it just turns my gut. We have now had conclusive evidence from the CDC that those cloth masks didn't work to stop the infection, something I had wrote months ago! There has been no clear evidence that shows children need to be vaxxed. None! The lockdowns were wrong. The deaths in the USA, when digging into the truth within the numbers is that out of the first 800,000 Americans who died, ostensibly due to Covid, 600,000 were over the age of 65 and had an average of 4 comorbidities. Many of us wondered about the true nature of these deaths, asking why wasn't vital info reported about the numbers, not merely the ethnicity and sex and age, but were they obese, had heart disease or some other comorbidities? Were they admitted into the hospital for something else entirely and once in the hospital were tested and came up positive, therefore their death being due to Covid, and not WITH Covid, a more factual statement. And yet the very willing media was only too caught up in the hysteria of the numbers themselves and reluctant to look behind the numbers for the real story. Americans have been force fed the continuous clap trap from Dr. Fauci, a guy who should have been let go months ago and is clearly addicted to his news media created celebrity, who has been caught dead to rights on his flip flopping and goal post moving, regarding the virus. If he had his way, 300 million people would still be in lock down and not permitted to go out to any social function, because the venues would all be closed. Not to mention his lying about the gain of function research that was proven in a congressional hearing. That right there should have got him canned at the very least! In addition there should not be ONE SINGLE CHILD in school being made to wear a mask at any time. What has been done in the name of safety to American school children is nothing less than shameful and abuse. Their educational development has been permanently handicapped and they will never get these 2 years back. An abomination of the first order. China should be having tariffs placed on every product it exports to every country on the planet. It should be severely punished with economic sanctions by the "community of nations", to use a diplomatic phrase, to teach it a lesson. Of course, that will never happen as too many special interests have financial investments in China. The citizens of the world all should have declared February 1st as the day Covid ceased to be an impediment to the economic, educational, and leisure activities of their lives. Enough is enough. The people have spoken.

Probably twice plus a booster

Looks OK to me, just seems a bit expensive for the size of the portions.

Back from a walk in local park,lots of trees down after the storms recently,1 woman was killed a few days ago,talk about wrong place at the wrong time,an area just south of aberdeen called edzell forest looks flattened as if some giant has lay down on the trees !

How much common sense is left after drinking his 6 pack? The phrase "common sense" is rather subjective Most people though have the common sense to try and avoid danger, and maintain self preservation, whatever and how that may be. Whether it's keeping away from people who are infected with a potentially life threatening virus, avoiding walking late at night in area known for crime and murder, or keeping your credit and bank details away from strangers, looking both ways when crossing the road or not going for an evening stroll during a hurricane............... The list would be pages long. When the Covid pandemic hit, it soon became very obvious that it was serious, highly contagious and life threatening for some cases. To have used "common sense" logic would have been disasterous,especially before a vaccine was available as know one had previously experienced a pandemic of this nature during their lifetime. There was little else to do by any responsible government apart from alerting their populations and using the only weapons available at the time against the virus to slow down the spread. Those measures included lockdowns in some cases, mandatory masks/PPE and social distancing measures. When the vaccines arrived (using Medical science) , a very large majority used their "common sense" and got vaccinated. No one could have 100% predicted what further strains would be like until they were detected. But scientists wee quickly able to analyse them in terms of mutation, infection capability and potency. Millions of lives have been saved. Left to Mr 6 pack we could have been back into 1918 when over 50 million people died of Spanish Flu, then blame it all on the USA where it started. As hopefully the C19 virus mutations are becoming milder like Omicron, we relax a bit and the blame culture starts to kick in. They should have done this, they should have done that, it was all a conspiracy, it was the Chinese etc The offender is the Virus. You cannot reason or have dialogue with it. What we can do is use SCIENCE to both understand how it works, how combat it and even eradicate it in the future, as many other diseases and viruses have been almost eradicated during the last 100 years. Just as, the survival of Cancer patients has massively increased due to medical science and research programmes. Something that Joe 6 pack and his common sense would never have achieved. Science has nothing to do with common sense. Without it, we still be living in the 12th Century. Sadly a few still are

Thi morning's jog along beach road was interrupted 50 yards short of the old Thai Airways office. Several trees were sheltered under with varying levels of success, before it stopped and we set off again. Unfortunately the heavens opened again before we reached klang, and the trees werent as helpful as they could have been. Neither myself or my jogging partner could be considered stars in a wet tee shirt contest....

“The lockdowns have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said. Well there you go......The lockdowns I would say are/were very very successful in accomplishing all the elites goals....

Heading back to the land of cement tables tomorrow. Will give update of the procedure of flying on a Domestic flight at the moment out of Don Mueng. cheers

I have eaten in there many times, always good grub.

Had a lazy evening in, so ordered a pizza from The Pizza Company using the Food Panda app. Double pepperoni with sausage and bacon stuffed crust. It was superb washed down with Leo.

Bangkok prices m8, I remember 16 years ago the shit breakfast in the Dynasty Hotel......

All done in the air fryer.

Mate just leaving Bangkok on Singapore Airlines back to UK. Says the airport was empty, checked in about 5 mins, through security and immigration in 5 mins and departure lounge sparse of people. Now on plane (photo taken 20 mins ago) and says it is like a private plane ride, only about 20 in economy. Covid has had some benefits.

Just stuck my hand out the window and yep, can confirm it's fucking down here as well. ⛈️☔ Edit to add: Just to confirm, I stuck my hand out the front of the house and it felt wet there too. Even better, my rain collection tank is now overflowing as well.

And she didn't feel a thing ...

Fitzpatricks.....formerly Hannrahans..... just beside Bus stop. cheers

Leave the gun……

Bloody hell...people say BKK is hiso..but they have a hide to serve Leo on a wooden table/bench.... time they realised the way you serve beer in Thailand is on cement table/benches. Dear oh dear and they call Issan backwards...555 cheers

Tonight was prawns in a black bean sauce alongside prawns in sweet and sour sauce. Lovely.

Dr. Fauci is not the only scientist involved in Covid. And the USA is not the only country to be affected by Covid. Yet lock downs, social dancing and face protection has occurred all over the world in numerous countries. So do you blame all scientists for their advice or do imagine that Fauci is responsible? In UK we have our own medical advisers as do other countries. There is a political section for Covid on the forum. The USA is not the be an end all of the world and I do not mean that disrespectfully to any American forum members Fauci has, served as an adviser to 6 Presidents since 1984 starting with Reagan. Go figure

Salah v Mane in the final!! Interesting implications for the FPL aswell ......

Looks good to me. The eggs are perfect, as is the toast. As an added bonus there's an ashtray on the table too. Haven't seen that outside of Reno in ages!

Watching AFCON semi,Camaroon vs Egypt....absolute shite football.

So Danny's going upscale, is he? The Walkabout Bar was one of my favourite pit stops on my own Pattaya walkabouts and I'm looking forward to checking this place out when I am finally able or willing to return...looks like the man himself in the blue/white shirt with his back to us, holding court with his mates...

One thing I did notice in the time I spent in Arizona, was that the Natives in the USA seem to be overall…..wealthier. Whatever benefits they do get, they seem to utilize better than in Canada, and create a better life for their bands. Over the years I drove a cab, I won’t lie, the stereotype of the “drunk Indian” played out many times, and I was quite nervous many a time during rides with them. But when you come to converse with them and they open up about some truths in their world, you start empathizing quite a bit. 3 things that stuck out the most for me were 1. The corruption of band leaders, who can just pay themselves over $1M a year with nobody questioning it, lest they get ostracized and removed from the reserve 2. The frequency of rape of Native women, by their own people, often their own relatives, and at very young ages 3. The effect of Canada’s residential school system that only officially ended a free decades ago. Beatings, rapes, untreated disease, unmarked graves…. So even though I don’t condone bad behaviour and people pointing fingers for their own problems, I understand them quite more than I did 20 years ago, and maybe I’d engage in some serious substance abuse too if I suffered the same traumas

Comment of the year……AND the PANDEMIC 🙇‍♂️

Ashley Giles fired by England,surely Silverwood to follow.

I don't think so, unless it has changed.

Read all his books, superb series. Reckon you'll enjoy them.

Another author where I'm late to the party. A first ever John Connolly novel for me- 1st of a series of 20 apparently!!

What is the world coming to ? Small bottles of Leo too ..... never see that up in old Isaan way.

This review is brilliant 555 https://imightbewrong.substack.com/p/joel-coens-the-tragedy-of-macbeth

"...getting there..." yessir..!!! "...UCSF's Dr. Bob Wachter is predicting that we will reach the stage of "regionally endemic" COVID in about four weeks, so by the end of February. As he tells ABC 7, "I'm pretty comfortable predicting that that will be where we go. That puts us at least in a regional endemic state meaning that is not dominating people's lives. People can begin letting down their guard and doing some things they haven't done before." Wachter this week noted that SF had "turned a corner" with Omicron, and that hospitalizations were already down 10% as of Sunday. He added that case-positivity among the asymptomatic arriving in hospitals was around 16% 10 days ago, but by the end of last week it was down to about 4%..." https://sfist.com/2022/02/01/masks-come-off-at-sf-gyms-again-as-covid-cases-decline/

I see your article is from August last year but if you read it it also states that if you are unvaccinated you can fly with them. As said from my post...I have indeed checked with Air Asia.....I did so before I booked the ticket...and was told that you can fly unvaccinated. As said...I fly tomorrow.....I will let you know how I go. cheers
