Home made Chicken Korma

Our 33rd anniversary meal,the missus always wants to cook rather than eat out. First one is a sort of DIY prawn cocktail(she ate the heads,me the bodies),then a filet steak,she had a steak medallion.I thought it was going to be pepper sauce but turned out to be honey & mustard,which was a bit bland so I added a load of her chili sauce.So I was eating Colman's English mustard with Thai chili. Washed down with a bottle of cheapo Tesco Champagne....as I type this I'm just about to open a nice red. The last one was why I married her in 1991.....

In the early '70s it was.. - Ox Blood Doc Martens - Faded parallel jeans with sewn in turnups (flares were already old fashioned !!!). Definitely no holes and none of that stone wash bullshit! - Faux US Marine T-Shits - Wrangler jean jacket with Leeds badges sewn on. (My cream Harrington was kept for nights out in Manchester. Mainly in C'est La Vie one and two. Worn with casual Marine Green trousers) - Two Leeds scarves one tied neatly worn inside buttoned up Wrangler jacket. One worn tied to the wrist! The original scarf circa 1976

The football casuals fashion era basically started with Liverpool supporters nicking stuff on their trips to Europe, closely followed by the Man Utd supporters .. QPR supporters never qualified for Europe so just copied most of their players' hair styles and were a bunch of poofters more interested in visiting women's hair salons and the Women's section of C&A than Stone Island. Points to note: Some of that post is made up .............

The image below is of the pies I bought but the price has gone up a wee bit. Taste of Stilton is awesome.

I put brown sauce on pie meals and breakfasts. I put tomato sauce only on fish and chips. Proof added lol

Kappa Sport Ski Jackets were also pretty popular iirc. I stuck to my Flight Jacket though, the colours didn't suit my pasty complexion lol. Here's a great link BTW: https://creaseslikeknives.wordpress.com/2016/12/28/guest-post-bring-back-the-donkey-jacket/

A mess of big prawns breaded and deep fried with some homemade sweet and sour sauce not that bottled crap and some chips / french fries or whatever you guys want to call them. They were done in the air fryer.

Back from my afternoon stroll,the blue and white yacht belongs to royal family Bahrain,visited the castle and amphitheatre today

Did you have the full sheepskin?.😀

Just done an hour today on the treadmill. Usually do 45 minutes but fancied the full day hour today.

Update. Unfortunately, whilst very tasty, it came out almost as quickly as it went in. I had to make a speedy return to my hotel room an hour later 😁 Oh well, at least it cleared the decks and I was able to head out on the town again without fear of self defecation 🤯🤯

True, but I know 2 that do,(3 if you count yourself) 😉 my wife and son when they travel to Thailand.😉 Despite the fact they both have Thai passports which would give them access to some medical facilities, but obviously not as good as a decent insurance policy would provide. In fact, I also have a copy at home. I’ve yet to buy travel insurance for them in the UK from a company that doesn’t send me printed copies of the insurance policies when asked, which I scan and print off copies for her to take with her, which includes phone numbers for her to call in UK if a medical problem occurs and if either of them requires hospital treatment. She carries it with her at all times, it’s no big deal. If the guy in question did have travel insurance, but didn’t tell anyone, then the chances of anyone finding a copy is minute and his family have to find the £60k elsewhere.

Just to clarify. It's not that I'm not able, it's just that I don't want to tie up that amount of money in Thailand when I can earn more than enough by investing the money to cover the agent's fee.

Got them from Lidl, box of 2 deluxe pies for about £2.50

You can get a re-released Pringle Argyle jumper from.Stuarts of London set you back around £220 nowadays though 😳 I've got a few Trimm Trabs though.

Steak and Stilton pie and homemade chips.

Pork loin on a bed of mash with lovely rich gravy in Monsoon, soi 8.

I was very fortunate as I was an alcoholic at a young age stopped drinking on my own at 25 and haven't had a drink in almost 42 years. It's not an easy thing to kick I must have stopped drinking 50 times before it finally took and I could actually leave it. Being in the bar business here for 15 years I guess many would probably wonder how I could stay away from it. But once the initial monkey was removed from my back it was never again an issue but it's not an easy road. Years ago on the secrets forum a fairly new member asked if there was an AA meeting here in Pattaya. I saw the post come up I'm guessing before most and maybe before anyone and told anyone that criticized or gave a smart-ass remark would be removed from the forum it's not a funny thing it's a sickness. Nobody did in fact a few people posted about the meeting they have here in town.

Roast shoulder of lamb with baked beans and roast potatoes and a few dollops of mint sauce.

Just back from another stroll around tarragona,the couple at end of the jetty,the guy shooting the girl with yacht as backdrop,she lifted her tshirt revealing her tits at one point ,as I got closer they'd obviously downed the 2 empty bottles of wine that lay near their backpacks,nice day again.

Lunch today.

Just finished assembling my new, hiqh quality, fancy ergonomic office chair. Sure hope it lasts longer than the 2-3 years my previous economy model chairs did.

Last one @richy65 Bought the Sergio T Dallas bottoms a couple of years back , wear them for the gym mostly now. They are actually blue but look black on that pic. Nike Omega Flame too from 83. Ffs I better get up for work 😂

Nutella for Australia? I think you are wrong here and it should be vegemite.

Peanut butter and jelly (P.B. & J.). Some days you just got to have one.

Had my PSA test yesterday afternoon. They do the urine test then if that is okay they take the blood. She said between one to two weeks for they send me the results. Did 45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym after.

Trim Trabs were essential back in the day.

I was hit up once for that a while back. I believe it was in CM airport. 2 rookies and 1 dickhead. The 2 rookies were pleasant. The one dickhead was "fake nice". He seemed to have the kind of attitude I think you experienced. Kind of like he was showing off and thought he sensed a good target. But he missed big time as everything was in order. I was respectful and curteous throughout as anyone should be in such circumstance. As he was finishing up I shot a look at the other two guys (like, this guy is an idiot). The non-verbals back from them were (yeah, he's a dickhead). Two minutes later I was on my way.

I would hazard a guess there is a significant minority that it doesn't even cross their mind they should carry a copy of their insurance card for their own protection. I'm not one of them as I always have on my person or in my hydration backpack when out running a copy of my passport and insurance. I also have copies on my phone, but realize that won't do me much good if I'm incapacitated as its password protected.

Mustard for me pies and fries

Farahs were bang on back in the day... Not so sure I'd wear them now. I bought a Patrick Cagoul on re-release about a year back always had good memories of them.early 80s I think I've had it on twice the memory was better than reality they are shite and belong back in the 80s 555

Your home’s value, as seen by… YOU BUYER BANK APPRAISER MUNICIPAL TAX OFFICE

And also this song -> "Bird on a Wire" by Leonard Cohen

Think about all the different groups of fashions from late 70s till late 80s. Punks, Mods, Skins, Ska, New Romantics , Goths , Rock,Soul Boys Dressers/Casual/ Trendies,/PerryBoys , Ravers all dressing in theor own unique styles and all into different brilliant gendres of music. Now you have.. Roadmen 🤣🤣🤣🫣 I feel sorry for the kids now they haven't got any identities and no fashions , just Instagram and pretending to enjoy life (through a lens) I'd wanna be 18 again , but in the 50s/60/70/80/90s no way in 2024.

Tuesday 23rd January 2024..... 21.00 hrs... Soi Buakhao.......

A couple of pics I took while working a thermal with a friend. We were flying over our home airport in Wisconsin.

Great to see so many posters being open about sharing their inner Jimmy Somerville. The forum has become much more open and inclusive for the said posters above. I mind the shameful abuse @galenkia had to take on here when this forum first started about his gay Bros earring. It's wasn't big and and it wasn't clever, the homophobic abuse given out, you know who you are! Anyone wants to tag any board members in this Pride event, feel free.

Awful, I know, but I had to post it, lol.

My morning routine is quite established here now .. - I still wake up at 6am and have a cup of Nescafe Red Cup coffee. Then take a walk around the 2 rai garden. - At 9am I am served fried egg on wholewheat toast x 2 with a plate of fresh fruit (papaya/jack fruit is the choice so far) washed down with black tea. Then I take another walk around the garden followed a SSS. - Take a nap .....
