Gosh that’s an old PA name . I remember him used to dress as a pirate I recollect to ?

Yep. He is on that vid. He is the one dressed as a pirate!

I am still in touch with Capn Murg, albeit mostly on FB and infrequently. I last saw him, with George (Skygod) at Murgs house in Bang Bo but that would be several years ago now. As I say, he uses FB should anyone wish to get in touch.

Anyway, getting back on topic 🙂 

Can someone translate it into “proper” temperatures 🤣🤣

I had their Freephone number in my mobile for the last 18 months. I never looked up D and G in my laptop or phone. I had the plans printed off in my filing cabinet and just called them and referred to my plan number although my name and phone number/address gave them my details anyway. 

They did try to resell the plan over the phone as a good deal with great additions but I was adamant that I was cancelling. I didn't do anything digitally on their website or online before the call at all so I was rather shocked to see the ad. Something occurred, something generated the ad.

It did. D&G logged your call in their database, which is no doubt accessible to the others, so you got flagged as someone (probably) renewing/enquiring about insurance.

Its all very sneaky but there’s logic behind the madness however distasteful it seems. 

After the first round it’s hard to see any clear candidates tbh. Italy? But made to look good. France because they beat a top side? But bottom line is it’s really wide open…… I wouldn’t be placing any bets with any confidence.

Hi,

Thanks for the info guys, sorry if this has caused any issues / headaches.

FWIW for adding the "gif" image, I switched from "source" to "code" (top left icon) and pasted the "gif" code into the post and it worked, however, when on "plain text" it just literally posted the code for the gif and not the gif itself.

I hadn't noticed the "preview" icon on the top right, I think it's probably because I post on another "Nissan / Datsun" forum where the option to "preview" a post is next to the "submit reply" button for us non techies 🙂 Different software I guess.

Many thanks , and a virtual ice cold SM light to all of you, or a real one hopefully sometime in the future !.

Pleased you got it sorted bud.

FWIW the “best” way, and over time the easiest way, to add gifs would be as an attached file not as code I.e save it to your comp and add as you would an image. 

That said using the code is ok as you have discovered.

Don't like the look of that back 4.

Trippier an odd selection in front of Shaw, not convinced with Mings and James is a better defender for me than Walker.

Assuming Southgate wants Trippier for set pieces (can’t think of any other reason) then I think Walker needs to go and Trippier at RB. 

I’d usually agree with you about Mings but he did OK yesterday so fair play to him.

Id have Shaw pencilled in as one of my dead cert starters - and no I’m not a prawn sarnie fan.

Walker didn't do very well in the first half.We started like we were going to hammer them & then ran out of steam.

As above. I had Walker as a starter but I think if Southgate wants Trippier that badly he should go to RB as yes Walker wasn’t great

As you no doubt discovered, I get "hold control and right click for more options" never tried, as I said my option was post, check and if I cocked it up, edit. 

With some quotes I do get a warning posted as "rich" text and an option to change to "plain" text.

It was merely an observation not a complaint. I'm a strong believer in if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hey, I did learn about the preview button so all good here.  

Ok cool I will leave it...... because

I have checked the settings and it’s turned ON so I’m not sure why it doesn’t propagate in the comments box. I have a feeling this has been set as a default as it’s the same over on PA now.

The only anomaly I have found is when adding a hyperlink, if you wish to check it while composing a post it is not live. I post, check, then edit if required, no big deal.

   

I have checked this and you are correct. There “should” be an option to select “rich” or “plain” text and the rich option would show the site/link info in the comments box.

I will ask the admins here as there may be a reason why they have the “rich text” setting turned off. That’s a simple fix but as I say I need to see if the admins had a reason to turn that off.

Cut and pasted this, previewed it, posted it...

Lesson learned!

Thanks bud

Hopefully other guys will read all this and pick up the tips. I would be pretty sure this caused Butch’s issue too ie “add file” then “click insert” (+)

Got it. Thanks. 👍

Can you give it a try mate and let me know if it works that way.

@lazarus correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I read your post is you uploaded the pictures, but didn't insert them into the post. Thus the reason you only see the thumbnail pic at the bottom of the post. That being the case, clicking on the Preview icon would allow you to see how the post would look if you didn't manually insert the pictures where you want them in the post.

 

Our posts crossed - thats what I meant @lazarus

Using the "quote tab" this is the screenshot (#1) of typing a reply post with the option of adding attachments. Attachments do not have a preview option other than a small icon on the bottom of the post (#2).

For those that add photos, etc., the ability to "preview" would alleviate going back to correct and make edits.

 

@lazarus

Where you say “small icon at the bottom of the post” (for images) can I assume you are clicking the + sign in that icon to actually add it into the post? 

If you are it’s odd. If you are not, you need to.

See image below - you need to click the + sign circled to add the image into the comment box itself.

You place the cursor where you want each image - then click that +. This way you can add as many images as you want, where you want them, AND they show in the comments box in the position you inserted them i.e. they are "previewed".

If you dont do this they simply add as "attachments" at the end of your post, not in the positions you may actually want them.

Thanks I will try and have a look into this as it’s different for me. In the comment box I see “everything” I’m postings - including

Quoted post

My text

Any image or gif I’m adding

Do you know if it’s always been this way here or if it’s just started recently?
 

WS

It should "preview" in the comments box itself. What you see there should be exactly what shows when you hit the Submit Reply button

Have you had this problem before?

If there's a problem specifically with gifs I will try find out but this is the first time i have read this issue - on any of the 4 forums so Im not really sure of an answer.

Another long time Pattaya bar, Buffalo Bar is heading into the dustbin of history. Don't think we can blame it in on the pandemic though as the bar's decline predated the China virus.

Construction update on Tree Town's Pattaya Beach Club.

Not sure what this hole in the floor will be. Fountain maybe?

Never noticed before, but most, if not all the bars on the south facing side of Tree Town have 2nd floor seating.

Re Buffalo bar

It seems its "land value" has finally exceeded its "going concern" value.

Those of us who know it will be aware it was like the frkn Tardis when you went through that tiny frontage. Pretty huge old area inside.

That is 2nd hand gossip I have to say but it does make sense.

Noticed that too. Reported my post to bring it to the attention of the mods. Either they fixed the problem, or it fixed itself as pics in posts are showing once again.

Sorted

I hope :)

I can vividly remember asking a good friend why he had a tendency to take, shall we say, less pretty girls.

His response - "I dont give a fuck what they look like I just want a dirty shag"

I think there are far more people think this way than we maybe acknowledge.

Anyone remember the wonderful Miss Oy from Bus Stop bar? She wasnt going to win any Miss World contests but had a reputation for being utterly filthy and, quite literally, had guys queuing up. A very aptly named bar indeed :)

.A minor expense for a bar....

And facebook is free....

 

A website that size absolute Max $24 a year.

If there was a forum on the same server obviously more.

After 32 years probably take me all night to write the list and even longer to remember them. I’ve never been one for negotiation or interview, probably 95% were on impulse.

I think its worth highlighting the VIP Clubs and illegal gambling dens etc......... however

Laying blame at their door entirely is a bit silly for the simple reason that whoever the initial carrier was he/she would almost certainly have gone somewhere else crowded at some point.

My (entirely) personal view is its silly to differentiate between the type of venue - for example

Factories are packed solid every day
Wet markets and markets in general are jammed solid every day
Construction and factory accommodation/dorms are packed solid every night

Most small restaurants have 3/4 customers only at any given time.

As is so often the case it seems to be the powers that be will blame whoever they see fit, as scapegoats, but leave their mates alone.

Firstly, to the OP there was no “before”, those areas seem to have been set when the forum began and we certainly haven’t changed anything.

Secondly it’s a simple task to add the province - Central seems sensible.

Lastly I can see it’s all a little messy with Rayong listed in both Central and Eastern. What I don’t want to do is start making too many “changes” or thread will then be in the wrong place.
