I'd love an amnesty, let people like @code_slayer_bkk, @Ivan the Terrible, Thai Spice back again TBH. They were characters, we all f**k up now and again.

Don't know the name of this dish, but prik comes to mind. Fried chilli's and onions with chicken. Very spicey and tasty.

I don't see the point of being, or trying to be any different on Forums or Social media etc than you really are.

Unfortunately, what they report has little or no bearing on the real figures due to the limited testing. The entry requirements are probably not going to change any time soon and that's what we really need to change.

Pass me the earplugs when those 3 get wailing. Add Mariah and that's the quartet from hell!. 🤣

Adele is not my cup of tea. I am one of the Debbie Harry obsessives.

I met Code briefly once in the old Secrets bar in the company of a couple of other boardies and he seemed alright; later he left a note on my messenger to meet up in BKK but I unfortunately missed it - I often wonder what kind of night we would have ended up having! Seemed to me, reading his accounts of physical mayhem, that you could take the boy out of Brooklyn but you couldn't take Brooklyn out of the boy. I also made arrangements to meet up with Thai Spice who had planned to stay at the same hotel as me but one of his kids showed up at the last minute and dragged him off instead - too bad, I was looking forward to it as he always struck me as being an interesting guy.

Late night snack, chips and gravy. Superb.

I don't I'm a c**t in real life too 🤣

Brilliant news from Boris, whether it's to appease the Tory back benches and get them onside again or not - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60319947 Boris Johnson has said he plans to end all remaining Covid restrictions in England - including the legal rule to self-isolate - a month early. Under the current rules, anyone who tests positive must self-isolate for at least five days. The current restrictions are due to expire on 24 March. But Mr Johnson told MPs he expected the last domestic rules would end early "provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue". He said he intended to return after parliamentary recess - which is from 21 February - to outline the government's strategy for living with Covid. At the start of Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Johnson said: "It is my intention to return on the first day after the half-term recess to present our strategy for living with Covid. "Provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue, it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions - including the legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive - a full month early."

Which kind of supports the essence of this topic. I often used to wonder whether he was a "Walter Mitty" kind of character but I would never dream of directly suggesting that as I bruise very easily.

Yup! Especially for a fat bastard like me! I have 2 bikes hanging up in my patio providing excellent support for climbing plants, snakes and birds nests. When I first moved down here many years ago I couldn't understand why my legs were so weak that I couldn't make it up Khao Talo. So I decided to cycle along railway road instead and was lucky to survive a pickup carrying loose rebar swinging from side to side. I have never ridden a bike since.....Interestingly since leaving "the village" I haven't driven a car nor rode a motorcye..... I miss none of it!

I'm just back from a very very painful 2 hour walk, carrying about 7kg of shopping for most of the time. My knees were telling me that I'm a fat bastard and to lose some weight.... fucking yapping at me for 2 hours non stop like George Gregan yapping at the ref .....

Maybe 🤔 before I was an Utter c**t lol

Wow, that takes me back. My dad would listen to all the big band orchestras when I was a kid, and Glenn was his favourite. Used to like it myself. Mum was an Elvis fan. Moonlight Serenade was his favourite, and mine as well. We played it at his funeral. Thanks for the memories by posting it.

Well....Having seen Celine Dion at Impact Arena, her first time ever in Thailand, I will go with her. I knew she was good ( matter of opinion I realize) but when you see her sing live, it's mind blowing really! This is one Canadian gal that has some "pipes" What's up with you Brit's? No Adele?? I also like Toni Braxton.

Peter "the Cat' Bonetti Chelsea legend

44 on the street in Patong today.

He is a highly intelligent guy who has travelled and worked all over the World. Really interesting guy to chat to, but he does have an edge to him. Lol.

Well, one of the times we were out together in Pattaya, he nearly turned an innocent situation into a potential nightmare with the Tourist Police. I was gob smacked with his attitude towards them. Fortunately I managed to drag him into Baby dolls to chill out. Lol.

I do think that many people fall fail of posting whilst drunk, there are good drunks and some not so, just like in real life. Unfortunately a drunken rant once too often is the demise of many otherwise decent guys on forums.

It is the greatest live performance I have ever seen. The Born in the USA tour at Wembley Stadium. Unreal. I think I was partially deaf for a good few days after too!

Good on ya Boris.

Very true and also I think a lot depends on one's mood at the time.I just looked at my iTunes library at the female singers I've got there:Carole King,Carly Simon,Bobbie Gentry,Heather Small,Imelda May( saw her,Mica Paris & Lisa Stansfield doing a Ladies sing the Blues concert a few years ago & it was magic),Gail Ann Dorsey,Kiri Te Kanawa,Marianne Faithful,Patti Smith,Sade,Cher,Tracy Chapman,Janis Joplin,Suzanne Vega,Diana Ross,Buffy Sainte-Marie,Dusty Springfield,Mica Paris. Impossible to pick the best out of that lot!

yep.. that is my plan too... rolling transfers next week for the minor DGW then blasting my team for DGW26.....Unless I get drunk and decide to tinker.... I wish my PC had a breathalyzer for FPL...!!!

Very easy now with the benefit of the internet,when I first went to Thailand 1n 1981 I had absolutely no idea of what to expect,apart from rumours of lots of available pussy.

I never had the pleasure to see Bob live, unfortunately. Although your post mentioning the sax player helped me to recall the fantastic Bruce Springsteen shows (3 of them). I was lucky enough to snag first row seats on his Born to Run tour. Friggen incredible ! Each show he would pick a girl to come up and dance with him on stage for a tune. He picked the girl sitting next to me. It was awesome. And talk about his sax player. Wowser !

Stevie Nicks Alison Moyet Elizabeth Fraser - Cocteau Twins / Massive Attack and lucky to live in same area as her -

Sade Aretha Ann Wilson....when you can bring tears to the eyes of Robert Plant while belting out "Stairway", on the Kennedy Center Honors, you got some serious pipes!

Impossible to choose just three I'm afraid. A few of my fave bands have already been mentioned including Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. AC/ DC also. Always be a special place in my heart for Jethro Tull.

On the theme of removing the boats. They push the trailer out as far as they can, then the boat drives onto it. After securing, the boat then drives the trailer up until it runs out of water. The front of the trailer is picked up so that the boat can drive it further. Then the tractor comes to drag it out.

It was, Jambo getting him mixed up with John Wick 😁

Me neither although we spoke on the phone a couple of times as I recall regarding posts of mutual interest. Code's posts unfortunately all too often gave one the impression that he was somebody that seemed to attract violence like a magnet. Most people, including me, spend a lifetime "generally" successfully trying to avoid conflict. I remember Code making a post on the subject of the use of a pencil as a tactical weapon. I use a pencil to do the crossword in my Daily Record. Thai Spice was a misogynistic drunk and a legend in his own mind.

You're thinking about Ivan the Terrible here ..... a good drunk IMHO ........ probably locked down still in Oz.

Thanks for removing any hint of doubt - I won't bother will with the highlights😁
