    Nicola Sturgeon has just announced that two English teams in the final is a mandate for another Independence Referendum.

    Bit you right on the arse that 🤣🤣🤣

    Just did it for a response!  😄  Backing Liverpool all the way really.  Just hope they lift the trophy against Ajax.  Nothing against Ajax other than their countryman spoiled my trip to the San Siro in 1970 when Celtic played Feyenoord in the European Cup Final and the Dutch won 2-1 after extra time.

    Or Thailand in general?

    When I first started coming Pattaya was very much a 'Man's Town', where it would be rare to see families or groups of females apart from Thais. It was kinda the wild west, where most there knew what they were there for, Thai or farang. Beach Road was rammed with freelancers, there was no big shopping malls bar Royal Garden, Mikes, the Bid C's etc. Infrastructure was not as it was today, in general a lot more seedy. 

    Now the place is coming down with families, groups of middle aged females waddling across 2nd Road, big flashy malls, loads and loads of Chinese, Indians, Russinas etc, loads more choice in food outlets, places to go or see. Yes the 'girls' are still there, but no way as in your face, it's different, sanitised to an extent if you like.

    On trips to Thailand, I spend a few days in Pattaya, I have a small condo there, but the changes now suit me as I visit with my wife and young daughter (who's 2). Things like all the very nice kids play places in Central, places like Central full stop, all the new choices we have, and of course the 'girls' aspect changing doesn't impact me now.

    That said, if I was of the same mindset as when i first came to Pattaya 12/15 years ago, not married, I would not be happy with the changes. I'd have preferred it the way it was, more like the wild west, a man's town, wanting the 'sex and girls' more in your face etc.

    "Do you like the way Patttaya has changed?"

    I hate the extra 't' they seem to have put in the name.  Much preferred it as Pattaya rather than Patttaya.  Your thoughts?

    Arsenal and Chelsea got through in the Europa league so we have an English team in all four semi finals of the two competitions. Pretty impressive I think.

    Four Scottish teams got through to the 2nd Qualifying rounds in the two competitions.  Pretty impressive I think.  :default_clapping:

    I went up to Huntly last year with my brother to watch the Broch play them. What a beautiful town and it was a beautiful Summer's night.I met some friends I hadn't seen in years.

    Only thing I like about Huntly is the ex Mother In Law is buried there.

    I find it hard to get excited about football now. Watching a bunch of millionaire cheats falling over isn't worth watching.

    I get more enjoyment watching Fraserburgh(my home town) playing against Inverurie Locos.

    6 pounds at the turnstiles and you can walk across the road to the pub for a couple of whiskys at half time.

    Didn't they put 4 past you just a week or so ago?  :default_animier:

  7. youngster leaves school and starts working in a mortuary that does all the cosmetic work, dressing the bodies, etc.

    His boss has to go out and tells him to attend to the body of a young woman who has just died. 

    When the boss returns he asks him how everything is going. "Fine, he says, everything is fine except I couldn't get the prawn off between her legs.
     

    The boss walks over and looks at the body, and he says, "You moron, that's not a prawn, that's a clitoris!" 

    "Really," says the worker, "It tasted like a prawn to me!"

  8. A guy meets a bar-girl in a bar.

    She says, ‘This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for 3000baht as long as you can say it in three words.’

    The guy replies, ‘Hey, why not?’ He pulls his wallet out of his pocket and lays 3000baht on the bar, and says slowly.

    ‘Paint…my….house.'

    Thanks for the info, but the country is called the Netherlands, Holland is just a small part of it. As a comparison, it would be about the same as equating Wales with the whole UK.

    And yes, I know Wales is a country where football is concerned.

    The Brits call it Holland.

    Googled "The official name of the country is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. King Willem-Alexander is the king of the nation. Holland actually only means the two provinces of Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. However, the name Holland is often used when all of the Netherlands is meant"

    I can appreciate why it would piss you off though! We Scots, Welsh and Irish get pissed off when people (often those who should know better, parliamentarians, royals and high vis celebrities) refer to the English Queen or the English Parliament.

    Nice to see a Dutch national team player front and centre. I am just wondering why he has a German flag next to the Dutch under the lion on his shirt.

    Holland v Germany.  They often put the two nations flags on their shirts.
