More retail therapy. £165 on more trainers and a jacket for winter. £85 instead of £165 for the jacket and £80 for the trainers.

Jan basically said to spend it, not save it for a future I may not have.

She called me earlier and said ‘ I have another £27k for you’.

Fucking mad.😂

Hope you're ok pal.

Was reading some of your posts about your Sister.

Sorry , stay strong

Just a basic post for now as I'm fucking fuming at what I witnessed tonight at a party between local Thai sisters( friends) so to speak. A birthday party. 

I will update later when I've calmed down but do these women think us farangs are deaf dumb and blind? 

I'll finish this post by saying that they or some of them.... One Thai woman in particular I've known and had good feelings for, for years ( my best mate in Swedens wife) is taking the absolute piss out of him. And not for the first time I may add. 

Do I keep my gob shut or not? 

I feel like seeing her first and giving her the choice of telling her husband first or I will. 

I can't sit by and watch my friend being deceived again. 

 

Happened to me a decade or so back I called her told her I knew her game and what she was doing to my mate.

She denied it point blank until I told her where , when and who with and good friends who knew more and witnessed more than me that would back me up too.

She cried the usual bullshit begged me not to tell him.

I slept on it and decided f**k that he's my mate .

It did no good they got back together a week later only to split up a few years later and now they are on and off.

I'm still mates with him , but don't see them anymore though he is one of the best people you could wish to know.

Would I do it again?

Absofuckinglutely.

At least my conscience is clear, what happens after then is up to them. 

I'd wanna know

Just finished watching the series and have to say the final episode was a huge let down. It made a farce out of everything leading up to the end. It left me wondering what the point of the series was given how it ended.  I don't want to say more as it would spoil it for others that may want to watch the series.

Agreed it was an abrupt end , but I heard there's gonna be a s2 so...

He's still in great shape for his age now. I often watch his former fights and he was an animal. Did you watch the re union between him an Frank Bruno? it's on YT and is a really uplifting thing to watch, given that both have had to face demons of their own.

Yes mate..

I watch his podcasts "Hotboxing" he's also done a couple of brilliant ones with Joe Rogan.

You can tell the shape he can still get in the way he trained for Roy Jones Jr 

He's very clever and well read he knows loads about history of fights and different cultures/ history too.

Different animal nowadays.

Pubs / Clubs loads in my youth , but always blagged my way back in .Always found doorman/ lads to be fairer back then you'd laugh about it buy every one a pint and all be mates after that.

Forums, no I'm way past trolling and absolutely hate it on FB / Twitter.

All's good thanks, currently fishing in France for 3 weeks.

Nice one

Enjoy

I'd never heard of them before.

Got off the plane at Swampy earlier this year and everyone got their suitcases apart from me and 10 other people (typical) anyway as usual I'm not getting a proper yes or no the bags are here from the Thai's 🤣 

Turns out one of the other passengers had one of these in his luggage and he said "Don't worry they are here and still on the runway" 

30 mins later.... Voila

    Let me weigh in with what I went through this morning to try to get tickets to this concert. Have been to many concerts here over the years, always had no problem with Thai Ticket Major until today. The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Queen, Bruno Mars, Celine Dion and most recently Bryan Adams to name a few. Have been a VIP with Live Nation for a while now. Ok, so this morning at 9:00am I log on, which then takes you to Thai Ticket Major to ACTUALLY purchase the seats you want right? I am in the “Queue” just like Stillearly was. OK so at 10:13 am local time here, I am now told that any minute I will be able to buy tickets. Boom…I am in. Now mind you, this is 10:13 am local time here. 13 minutes supposedly after being in the “Queue” and now ready to make my purchase. I am flabbergasted at the amount of tickets available 13 minutes after they are supposedly available to all. 

Basically let me cut to the chase……there are NO 2 seats available together at ANY price range, any section or anywhere except standing room only! Now I realize that Coldplay is popular across the world but….there is something wrong for sure. Of course this is Thailand and….Thai Ticket major actually SHOWED 2 tickets together and when you pressed on those seats, you got the message “Sorry these are already taken” So before you even ask “Why are they showing available if they are well…..not available”  I told wifey there are seats available like you would sit behind me, so she said “Ok go for it” I did, click on 1 seat, then the one that shows available right behind me says guess what?  Yep, this seat is not available. God only knows what is going on. 

A few things come to mind here, the way I see it. Unfortunately they do have to lose, I would say 20k seats due to the stadium having to have the stage in the middle of the facility. So supposedly this stadium says capacity of 52k, if obviously used for Soccer. Ok, they also did let those who were fortunate to get tickets, to buy 6 and usually it is 4. But I still find it almost unbelievable that let’s say, 30k seats are sold in 13 minutes? Really? I smell a rat..

So wifey is livid, she calls Thai Ticket Major, they tell her “Oh, that is because today Live Nation pre-sale had priority, try tomorrow when you go directly into Thai Ticket Major web-site and there should be tickets on that web-site????  Now, again this is Thailand so expect that no common sense will be used. I would NOT be surprised that tomorrow when I go directly into Thai Ticket Major, there are tickets in all sections available?  Only Buddha knows LOL! 

OK I am going to stick my neck out on a limb here and say that there will be NO tickets available tomorrow either. I will also predict that a second show will be added on Sunday and we will get tickets to that one, when they announce the date tickets will be available.

If Singapore gets 4 stadium shows, Bangkok should get 2….we’ll see. 

What they told you was half true even in U.K anyway .

I get 02 priority , but rarely use it .

They release a certain amount and then the general sale the day after or hwtaever there are loads more released.

Ticketmaster also buy a load up as well as scalpers to sell at a higher price.

Over here (not sure about Thailand) I use Twickets a lot it's a site for fans who can't make the date for whatever reason they sell at face value and a lot of the time under face value too ..

Mostly now with digital tickets it's a piece of piss , pay and two mins later you have the ticket downloaded to your phone.

They played up here at The Etihad the other week by all accounts they were absolutely brilliant (have a mate who went)

I would pay for a standing ticket and push to the front , but all the rest of the bullshit prices ..No way.

I did Liam Gallagher at The Etihad last year I think I payed VIP  £90 standing and that got me right to the front .

Nice one Mike I forgot how many good tunes he has had till you rhymed them all off.

My kind of night.

Great pics too

I had two stays at the Azure Centara hotel soi15 booked for Oct/Nov 2020 but had to cancel because of Covid. Unfortunetly it was a non-refundable booking and neither my credit card company nor my insurance would cough up because of the terms of the bookings, also the hotel at the time would not refund me despite the nice letter I wrote to them referring to the exceptional circumstances.

Middle of last month a receptionist at the hotel sent me 2 separate emails concerning each booking asking me to confirm my credit card details, she would like to repay the amounts I had paid. So 5 weeks later I have just checked my account and low and behold one refund of £228.89 and one of £264.71 have been deposited, needless to say this has restored my faith in human nature no end after me calling them a pile of cnuts at the time.

Decent place that I stayed last January for a few nights think there was a Russian girl working on reception.

If I make an appearance in Patts this month I won't hesitate to stay again.

4 weeks tomoz whatever that may be in days 🤣

Sat in the van windy grey and cold on the coast

Roll on next month

I'd never ever seen this , but it seemed like yesterday it came out so I gave it a go this afternoon.

Wow did we really all look like that 🤣

Half decent but made me wonder where the time has gone😭
