Had many a good Sunday lunch in Ye Olde Buffalo Tavern on Naresdamri road. Nice for an afternoon drink but at night I was usually up the road at Chaolay Seafood or the Greek restaurant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys with those throw nets used to sneak down on the beach in front of our house in HuaHin years ago. Then the police would turn up and chase them, but never seemed to catch any of them. 🤣 There was a law that there was no fishing on the beach back then, so I’m assuming that’s from what they call “the fishing or boat pier”.

Yes mate, Buffalo Bills was always a good place for Sunday lunch years ago, even if he didn’t start serving it till well after 3pm. ☹️ Was open at the front back then, an ideal place to people watch over a few drinks as I waited for the Roast Dinner. 🤗👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) OK...not "one"...but interesting. Years ago I worked for the Navajo Nation in the US Southwest...here's a few memories. Shiprock Elders gave me a tour remote & high elevation typical little "chapter" (aka village) Crownpoint, New Mexico Window Rock, AZ Meeting with the folks @ Crownpoint Memorial for US Military veterans. Many Navajos serve. Not just "code talkers" Edited August 4, 2020 by lazarus 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Sparks and Reno locations had the same owners when they started, but were sold off many decades ago to separate owners. The Reno location used to have 2 huge pancakes with an egg on top for 99 cents...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember he had the place next door as well and advertised the top floor as Luxury apartments! He used to rent a house a few doors down from us on Neabkehart Road when he had his BB in the city centre. He was doing well, too well it seems, as his landlord bumped the rent up when he saw he was making money, so he moved to the above place around 2002/2003. Nice guy, came from Essex I think, do you know if he is still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
