  1. Drink, food and ME first. Women a very distant second.
  2. Does anyone know if Lyndon has sold The Booze Lounge on the Darkside ? I've just been reading some of the posts on Facebook and it seems it might have been ? Can anyone confirm or deny please ?
  3. How long ago did you book that ? I flew with them last September and they were great. I paid £595 That layover is a bit of a bummer though as is the landing time but if you're ok with it that's all that matters.
  4. Thanks for that. I was thinking it would be another top to bottom restoration where everything was new and the only original thing would be the number plate. Loved it when it appeared out of the shop looking like it had just come out of a barn !
  5. And as a Forest fan I'm not at all unhappy he's gone. They would have gone down last season if Leicester hadn't imploded and this season has been awful bar 1 great game against Villa. If he'd stayed in charge I honestly think we'd have been relegated.
  6. Sad news that. I thought he was brilliant in Brooklyn nine nine and was really surprised to read about his death yesterday.
  7. My old Border Collie. An absolutely brilliant dog that I miss to this day even though he died in 1999. I used to take him with me in the truck, it was amazing how many times a renowned miserable fork lift driver who would normally make you wait to be tipped or loaded would see him in the cab and would suddenly be your best friend and get you sorted quick.
  8. In 2016 I started seeing a girl who lived in Bangkok, she was a hotel receptionist and non p4p. We dated for a few months until it petered out and no bad feelings from either of us. I heard later that she'd met a bloke from England and it was serious, she later married him and moved to the North West of England to an area called Cumbria. Years before this I'd got to know another bloke from around the North West and whenever he went to Pattaya we'd meet up for a beer. He was married to a Thai girl and they came to Thailand a couple of times a year. It'd be about 2020 and we were having a beer and he told me that his wife was really happy because there was now a new Thai girl that had just moved into the house next door to them in their village in England. I then asked him if he knew a Thai girl in or around Cumbria called N***y as she was my ex and I'd heard she'd moved up that area. His jaw just dropped, my ex was his new next door neighbour. What's the odds on that ?
  9. Once Cole and Marler were taken off it was only a matter of time. Sinckler was never going to be able to handle that South African prop as he hasn't got the nous or the power. Great effort by the English and to lose by only a point was a fantastic effort.
  10. You might be watching the final in Thailand again but you won't be watching England. Head says South Africa, heart says New Zealand.
  11. I wasn't sure they'd even get out of the group stage after those warm up games. That match tonight and last night's Ireland - All Blacks game were absolutely the best I've seen for years. Either one would have been a superb final. I fancied South Africa before the tournament started and I reckon they have enough to beat the All Blacks, not by much but as tonight showed, 1 point is enough.
  12. Well as an Englishman watching that tonight I'm 100% sure that record will go next week. Those Springboks are monsters and if we can lose by less than 20 points I'll consider it a result. That first half was out of this world.......
  13. Very sad news. I met him in the late 70's, early 80's at the Kilkenny Air show in Ireland. I was the coach driver shuttling them between their hotels and the airfield and he had his own little plane. The man was an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to talk with, my girlfriend at the time was a 19 yr old babe and she absolutely fell for him and I vaguely remember him doing a set at the hotel on the Saturday night which went down well. RIP Roger.
  14. I didn't watch the first match with the All Blacks and France as I was working but I have watched the England and Wales matches and both of them were brilliant. George Ford was awesome and that had to be his best ever game for England. Wales and Fiji was a classic and with 15-20 minutes to go Wales were bossing the game but what a finish. I was tingling at the end and felt so sorry for that Fiji player.
  15. My main problem with Singapore was the flight times. I think it's something like 13 hours to Singapore from Heathrow and then 2 hours to Bangkok but looking at maps its seems they fly past Bangkok to get to Singapore ? Plus when I wanted to change my return flight home when I was in Pattaya they wanted £700 - £800 and that wasn't going to happen.
  16. Same here, I'd heard how great EVA were and although I'm not a fan of direct flights I decided to book with them for my last trip. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Check in at Heathrow was a long winded pain, I got shouted at by one of their reps at the gate for not having a face mask FFS ( no one else has either luv so what's the issue ? ), the food was below average, the entertainment was nothing to write home about and the seat was uncomfortable after 6-7 hours. Would I use them again ? Only if the price was dirt cheap and it definitely hasn't been any time I've looked. In the last 2 years I've used Singapore, Qatar, Eva and Saudia and the cheapest and by far the best was Saudia by a country mile. Like you though I'm paying extra next time and using Emirates again as for me they have always been better than the rest.
  17. I'm glad it's not just me. The ads that really piss me off are where it's older people and yet still it's usually mixed race relationships. If I ever dated again in the UK is there some new law that states I must date a 'person of colour' or risk the wrath of the woke brigade ?
  18. Derek died at least a couple of years ago if not more.
  19. Try Kungs on Soi Lengkee for a breakfast, fantastic there.
  20. Do you mean the place on Soi Pothole ? If so the place has closed and the bloke that used to sell all the dodgy stuff has died after having to go back to England.
  21. No, and I didn't see anywhere selling it at Jeddah airport either. That part of it doesn't worry me in the slightest as I'm not a big drinker at all.
  22. About 2 months before departure, as it got closer to leaving I checked the price and it was up to £998 FFS !
  23. I've just used Saudia and to be honest I wasn't expecting it to be much good but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Check in at Heathrow was quick, the flight itself to Jeddah was good and the food on the plane was ok for me. Jeddah airport appears small but has plenty of small cafes, toilets and smoking rooms and again the loading of the plane was fairly easy. Only small downside was that it's a 4 1/2 hour layover and the last hour can drag a bit. We landed on time at BKK and I was only in immigration for maybe 10 minutes. Return flight cost me £426 which to me was an absolute bargain and I'd definitely use them again.
  24. I'm back living in England now, in Leicestershire. The big thing I noticed when I came back was the size of the women, they are humongous now and obese seems to be the new sexy. Now we've had a few days of decent weather these obese specimens are sadly flashing more flesh and the lousy tattoo craze is alive and kicking here too. I'm with you and the sight of a fit as fook thai girl sporting those awful tatts is a real turn off for me. I can't see how anyone can think they look good ? Back on topic now, I loved Secrets but for me once Larry left it was never the same, Haydn was it ? was a joke and although all seem to love him I never found Mr Egg to be even close to being as good as Larry was. And don't start me on Ben, lowlife tosser !
