I'll try and keep abreast of developments .....

You seen any signs of balloons being blown up ???

That's the one gloomy place and upstairs right on Walking Street. I went in just after they opened ....watched gangs of Indians about to get fleeced. Hustlers outside were bringing up 5 at a time ....... hatchet faced stony hard women .... beer wasn't shocking price but I think the hustle is in the lady drinks scams .....

Looks like they painted room ceilings red and put in some new lighting. Still got that hideous Scooters floor however and same old crap furniture in the rooms. Take one for the team Bitch and venture in ...... we'll CrowdFund you ...if I knew how to do it.

Transphobe ... keep up !!! Its men, women and non-binary LGBTQIA+ non TERFs ..... whatever any of that crap means. Went in to one of them Russian (NOT) type bars few weeks ago ....dodgy place Galaxy ??? all Uzbeks, Kazakhs and 'Stans. Hard as nails had a San Miguel Lite and made my excuses ....... Sterling doing well !!!

John I think these are great ..... graffiti is an Italian word for basically a scribble on a white wall ..... these are pure art like a Thailand Banksy. Quality .... I love that fish market too ..... how long was the walk ?? PS hate the Dale scrawls find them nasty and would make him clean them with a toothbrush.

It's when you spot them Charuwan in the rivers in Isaan you know blimey won't go paddling today..... Funny AJ last time I was in this place a massive snake fell off the roof on the right of your picture into the watchers .... proper bad one too .... pure panic ensued !!!

MOT might cost a bit too for that Merc + a bit of valeting internally .....

Does it tell you where the best carp and pike are ????

Plus hang on to your Boarding Pass ...... last few trips asked repeatedly for it. Used to mostly ignore it pre-Covid.

Train up a falcon Pumps ........ beautiful creatures. Pigeons terrified of them.

Works perfectly mate all over including deepest Isaan ........

Only Asians wearing masks on Thai Air last week both ways and and purely voluntary. 95% of farangs mask free. However flew Austrian 6/8 weeks or so ago and they wanted them apart from when eating and drinking ...... go figure. Best advice pack a couple in your pocket .....

With inflation currently at 10.1% and probably much higher and that dimwit Truss about to be our new PM all forecasts and bets are off. Her idea of cutting taxes any first week student of economics will tell you only helps the rich (trickle down theory long since discredited) and massively fuels inflation. Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic here we come ...... So I have 18 more years to live Dave thanks for the info ...... better get on with it.

Les Pubs ..... ???

Wise cards don't cost 220 Baht John ???? I have a Thai bank account too just not got the phone bit up and working yet.

220 Baht for using an ATM these days daylight robbery.

Listened to a fascinating late night discussion (my sleep pattern is fcukked) on this topic last night on GB news. If its a cashless moiety so easy for the government to seize control of an economy. Examples given were the Canadian truckers Go Fund Me 8 million dollars suddenly frozen and the Chinese State control of the Yuan during lockdown. Thought provoking topic ........ I brought a grand UK to Thailand this last trip and came back with the same amount intacto. Just tapping card in restaurants and stores these days ..... cash does makes you more cautious of spending I find.

Flew out yesterday Swampy very quiet and almost no wait at security (apart from take off your shoes, expected- belt expected, laptop - expected, take out your phone WTF ..... it was in the tray already. I find women guards are the worst these days. That little bit of power thing). Taxi ride out was great but honestly and I have seem some bad ones the longest traffic jam i have ever seen around 8.30am coming in to Bangkok. Every road including airport and expressways. My driver said 3/4 hours traffic it was shocking. Try not to arrive in the morning if possible .... Flight pretty packed to London. Time passed quickly. Brought my own red wine on board from duty free so ...helped !! Heathrow arrived 15 minutes early parked up right away. From gate opening to getting my bag one of the first off in less than 15 minutes at Terminal 2 best ever. E-gates waited less than 5 minutes too. Strode out happy as Larry. then ...my fucking taxi was not there ....oh 10 minutes sir !!! Can't have it all .....roads in London quiet too. PS going out equally good from T2. How things have changed in a few months.

It will be someone who doesn't look like Bamber Gascoigne or Jeremy Paxman that's the only certainty in today's BBC. Jerry Sadowitz would liven it up a bit ......

Larry has been brilliant wherever he went .... a natural .......... Babydolls different vibe different role than Secrets .. ... same Stevie Wonder Michael Jackson Bill Cosby jokes however ......

I blame all the goings on on the 4th floor, the Secretologists and of course the goat.

Scheduling usually means weather ........ Williams v Radacanu would be great fun to watch but Sloane whinge and mine Stephens nah !!!

I did !!!1 😎

They are a plague however .................... small glass jar .....fill it half full with apple cider vinegar or plain vinegar with honey and some washing up liquid. Shake .....the jar not yourself !!!! Cover the lid in clingfilm secure with an elastic band ......pierce smallish holes in the clingfilm with scissors and then leave where they are worst. I used two jars last summer. 48 hours later all the little bastards are gone and dead in the jar. Repeat and shortly not a fruit fly to be seen.
