Just got up for my final day at work. Hard to believe after 19 years and 2 months it's all over. Last 2 weeks we have been palletising all the stock and shipping it to the new warehouse in Coventry. Not much left now so a couple of people are staying on a week or two to finish up. Checked the Internet banking and my final salary and redundancy payment has been made. Not everyday you wake up to a nice fat 5 figure sum in your balance. 🤣 Put my CV on the Internet but in no rush to get back working, got time now to look for something I really like the look of. Don't want too long off and get lazy. Plenty of work out there for warehouse /Forklift drivers and most paying more than I've been on. Would of had a nice bottle of single malt and champagne indoors to celebrate but have 4 can's of alcohol free Punk IPA in the fridge instead. 🤣 The future starts tomorrow. 👍

Gabor had the hots for the dancer in Secrets who wore glasses. He had the hump with me when he found out I had b/fined her when she first started. As he was always going on about "lame dupe over payers" I was curious and one evening in Secrets I called her over and bought her a drink and introduced the name Gabor into the conversation. I said that he had a reputation of being "keenio" to all the girls followed by "I hope he was not like that with you?" "No, he gives me 1,500 baht....................... same as you." " Good", said I. "But no 200 baht tip." Last of the big spenders me!

Some mad hot as f**k Northern Thai curry she tried. Not jungle curry, more spicy.

@galenkiaAlan, well done, enjoy some time off. Come to "Amelika" and will take you over to see some gals at the Viet Coffee Shops... With the cool British accent you have, you can tell them you used to be lead Guitarist for "Motorhead" LOL!

I mentioned the Secretologists bit to him .... he got mildly excited at first .... Then I told him it was total horseshit and a load of old bollocks .... he went a bit quiet after that ....

We have had bad flooding in Brisbane and power is cut to a lot of places. It is 1am and I am babysitting a generator to keep the railway telecommunications systems going.

I just decided to rewatch one of my all-time favourite comedy series, Fawlty Towers. While it's still in the old TV 4:3 format, the resolution has been improved to full HD 1080p and the soundtrack given a once-over too. Available on the Pirate Bay, the total size for both series is almost 28 GB. This must be at least the tenth time I've watched them, but they never grow stale and I know I'll enjoy them, especially with the greatly improved quality.

He promoted me first to "secretologist head assassin" and then to "secretologist grand master." Lars, Eye Nitnoy and a few others were also grand masters. Did you ever get promoted? Larry was Xenu, a 25-million year-old alien who was head of the secretologist cult. When Larry started working at Baby Dolls, I asked Gabor if there would be a babydollogist cult and who would replace Larry as head of the secretologists, but he refused to answer. I wasn't allowed by the then-Mods on the Pattaya Club to ask Gabor if the cult still existed after he was allowed back. Evil

Lunch today was Morrison's salad bar, Moroccan mini falafels and a toasted olive and beetroot roll.

Punk alcohol free. Not bad, would have it again.

Chana Masala with additional black eyed beans, sweet red pepper, shallots and Jasmine rice. Served with Peshwari naan bread.

Best wishes for the future mate.

He did yea. Also seen him posting on FB earlier today, replying to some article, so he seems to be okay.

The Dental hygienist. Aye, i go every 6 months, sore, painfully and financially, but like you i want to keep my teeth as long as i can.

Yesterday, on FB, he posted that he was hoping to get on a train to Moldova.

Grown ass men 🙈🙈🙈🙈😆

This collective work analyzes the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, providing a coherent picture of Ukraine and Eastern Europe in the period 2013–2020. Giving voice to different social groups, scholarly communities and agencies relevant to Ukraine’s recent history, The War in Ukraine's Donbas goes beyond simplistic media interpretations that limit the analysis solely to Vladimir Putin and Russian aims to annex Ukraine. Instead, the authors identify the deeper roots linked to the autonomy and history of Donbas as a region. The contributions explore local society and traditions and the alienation from Ukraine caused by the events of Euromaidan, which saw the removal of the Donetsk-based president Viktor Yanukovych. Other chapters address the refugee crisis, the Minsk Accords in 2014 and the impact of the new president Volodymyr Zelensky and his efforts to bring the war to an end by negotiations among Russia, Ukraine, France, and Germany.

Thank you much for posting that incident. I was going to do it myself, but it will sit better with some members that you did it. Let's see if anyone writes about what a nice guy he really is after this. Also in that thread on the old Secrets board, Gabor outed Baz' real-life given and family names. That alone would get a poster banned for life on any forum in the world, from the most hard-core punter board to one on keeping parakeets as pets. After Gabor was banned from Secrets, he began posting almost daily hate rants against you, Baz and the Secrets' board. On Talk he wrote about killing Baz' baby with a machete. No one believes he intended any real harm to the child, but he crossed a line that couldn't be excused with, "It's only the Internet, I was joking." Since the earliest days in the 1990s of the granddaddy of all punter boards, the World Sex Guide, it's been a well-established convention that real-life family members are never mentioned in an insulting manner on the boards. I've often wondered what an FBI profiler would make of Gabor's posts on killing Baz' baby. Gabor made dozens of posts attacking Baz on Talk. Just to give one example: The reason he focused so much on Baz' family is that he hoped to provoke a response that would break board rules and get Baz banned. It's a despicable tactic he used with many BMs, myself included. Whenever Gabor was on the losing side of an argument- and that was always- he would lash out at his opponent with personal insults. He was hoping at least to get the thread locked to divert attention from the trouncing he was taking. He was extremely mean-spirited on the boards and in real life, not the harmless eccentric some people have portrayed him to be. Like Harris Black and all other con men, Gabor could be affable when he met some individuals, but that was only because he hoped to use them later for his own warped purposes. What was most irritating was that he was maddeningly simple. He couldn't grasp any concept more complicated than a big bowl of spaghetti. He was stuck in the mindset of the Soviet-era planned economy in Hungary. No matter how often BMs explained it to him, he never fathomed how a free economy functioned. To him, there were correct prices for all goods and services, including P4P in Pattaya. Prices in countries with communist governments had been set by ministries and political commissars. That's how Gabor saw himself, the commissar of P4P in Pattaya. He would go into a white rage whenever anyone told him he was wrong. His tactics were vicious, way out of proportion with any criticism of his crackpot economic ideas. He had also convinced himself he could get his own way by causing trouble or threatening to cause trouble for a board. That was his reasoning behind his hate campaigns against both the Secrets and Addicts boards after they banned him. If they took him back, he would stop making trouble. It's the same principle LBJ referred to in one of his most famous quotes. When he became President, everyone wondered why he didn't fire J Edgar Hoover, then head of the FBI, as it was well known LBJ hated Hoover. He replied, "I would rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in." That is what Gabor was hoping the Admins of Secrets and Addicts would say. It seemed to work with Secrets. Case in point: When Pattaya Secrets became the Pattaya Club, Gabor threatened publicly to report the Secrets Admin to the Thai authorities unless all his posts (around 15,000) were removed from the new board. (I shortened the above screen shot because the remainder only contained registration info about the old and new boards to prove they weren't the same, whatever difference that made in Gabor's paranoid mind). He came in for stinging amount of criticism for threatening to be a snitch and this was his response: Gabor knew very well it would take a huge amount of time and effort to delete his posts and having to deal with Thai authorities would be even worse, so he figured they would be forced to take him back. Is that how a nice guy acts in real life? Because MrDK (Lars- RIP) and I defended Secrets against Gabor's false accusations, he labeled us as "paid secretologist agents" and tried to disrupt our threads. He started this thread about Lars' Web site: He called Lars a liar because he gave a price RANGE for the girls' services Gabor thought was excessive. And this one about me: I was a liar because I had six weeks earlier posted a joke on the Addicts board (not Talk) that Gabor hadn't understood. It turned out to be a howlingly funny thread because Gabor couldn't get the joke. He came in for more ridicule from a string of board members. MM (RIP) asked me if I wanted the thread removed, but I told him to let it remain. Gabor's own words condemned him far more effectively than anything I could write. I'm tempted to continue with more examples, but I will resist that temptation and heed the words of Jesus: "Get thee behind me, Satan." Does anyone recognize where Pattaya's portal to Hell is located? Evil PS- Boy, did I have fun writing this post. It's not always I can say that!

Cheers dave Jl You should look no further than dji,top camera specs,and a dji shop in bangkok,not sure what the prices are at the moment ive stil got the mavic air 2 ,,think theres a 3 now,but the 2 and 1 you could pick for 15, to 20k bht maybe cheaper ,not been keepin up to speed with it to be honest and rarely use the drone now unless out n the mountains,as for license and legal stuff 🤐, i think you d get a lot of use out of it and enjoy the new perspective.

A classic tale with the version I heard at least 20 years ago or more ending with the words " But you suck one cock......" being the story of the New Orlean's Bandido " Pierre Le cock sucker." My wife has the iritating habit of saying "You told me that already." I tried to explain to her that men love funny stories and the retelling of funny stories. It does not matter one jot that we might of heard a story before as it is the telling of the tale that matters. Sure we know the punchline but we wait for it in anticipation like the return of an old friend. We look for the subtle, or not so subtle, differences between one telling and another and laugh along. Sai listens to my explanation - "you told me that already!" Women!!!

One day a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw a guy eating grass. He told the driver to stop. He got out and asked him, “Why are you eating grass?” The man replied, “I’m so poor, I can not afford anything to eat.” So the layer said, “Poor guy, come back to my house.” The guys say, “I have a wife and three kids.” The lawyer told him to bring them along. When they were all in the car, the poor man said, “Thanks for taking us back to your house, it is so kind of you.” The lawyer replied, “You’re going to love it there … the grass is a foot tall!”

Cheers. Just looked on Flightradar and yesterday (when Russian airspace was closed) the flight from Helsinki flew directly south and then turned south east before flying south of Ukraine, added 1 hour to the journey.

Behave he couldn't lace Keegans boots 🙈🤣

Not the case - I checked it out and confirmed - details below: https://www.govt.nz/browse/tax-benefits-and-finance/new-zealand-superannuation-and-the-veterans-pension/travelling-overseas-with-nz-superannuation-or-the-veterans-pension/ Perhaps that person/s was on Unemployment or some other 'Pension' payment.

I used wise on Friday and payed manually from Barclays. Nothing has changed from what I have done for the past few years. I use my laptop. My mate did a transfer today on his phone app and used the manual option for Santander. So it seems to be as it always has been for us both so far.

Take care Chris. Hope you get out in one piece, preferably one functioning piece.

When i was in the UK real ale was always my drink of choice too. i agree that Lao Dark is pretty good, but not many bars stock it, especially here up country. So Singha is my normal drink, it has a good bit of hoppy flavour to it. Singha Light, although popular with many, is not for me.

A man sees a sign outside a house - 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes," the Labrador replies. After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, the man asks, "So, tell me your story." The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I was sold to the SAS. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years". "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Heathrow Airport to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals". "Then I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired." The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. "Ten quid," the owner says. "£10!!? But your dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?" "Because he's a lying bastard, he's never been out of the garden."
