Thailand Forum - Nittaya.de
Part one:
Whatever happened to the mamasan who used to work the Grand Prix bar in Patpong, when Suriwongse Rd was nothing but fields? She used to gladden the heart of a man in his sixties. Oh what memories.
Gillette shaving foam has gone up 2 baht in Watson´s drugstores, but only for the foam. The gel has remained at the same price. What´s that all about?
Beware the light-fingered katoeys hanging around by the pedestrian bridge in front of the Landmark hotel. If you´re particularly slow and doddery, they´ll remove you´re money belt with a blink of an eye.
I accidentally hit my head on the bell in a crowded caravansary - as I´ve been saying for years - don´t ring the bell if you can´t afford the round.
Try out the all-day Sunday buffet at the Radisson Hotel for 1599 baht ++ Does anyone know if there´s a non air-con bus that passes the door?
Sad to hear of the death of ´Washington Square Willy´ only last week. His young wife and her Thai husband may wish to know that funeral rites will be held at the Silver Dollar cocktail lounge.
There´s a word for it - Glasinoctogen - a person who can live in a place for 30 years and not know his arse from his elbow.
Plans are underway once more to build a Bangkok skytrain which will connect Sukhumwit and Silom Rd. I´ll believe it when I see it.
My E-mail address once more - iamanoldfart@zimmerframe.com
You can´t beat those old latex, washable condoms which were standard US army issue way back when. And at least when you danced with a woman in those days - she was in your arms.
A reader has contacted me to ask where the best place is to buy Rolex watches. FYI (for your information) there is a Rolex shop on the first floor of the Emporium, next to Louis Vuitton handbags.
Two old men sitting on a park bench. One says "nice out isn´t it" The other one says "yes, but put it away, there´s someone coming"
It´s in the Groucho letters by Harpo Marx - I would love to belong to a club that wouldn´t have me as a member. Something like that anyway.
Is it just me but are the Thai teenagers acting younger than the people in their 20´s these days?
Who do Bangkok Phil and that bloody Stickman think they are. If I knew how to turn on a computer and send e-mail, I´d give them both a piece of my mind.
Seen on a garage repair shop door - the man who lends out the tools has gone on holiday - and the bloke who gives credit has gone with him.
If you are going to send me fax messages, please make sure that they are decipherable. Only the other day I received one that said " whe? are you ?oing to re?ire and sto? writin? all this cr?p you f??king id?ot. Now if only I knew what it all meant.
Will farang tourists stop bringing me tins of malted milk from the states. I´ve got a cupboard full of the stuff - what the #### am I gonna do with it? (I don´t wish to sound ungrateful)
JFTR (just for the record) Sporty Spice is my favorite Spice Girl. Nuff said.
I´ve been searching high and low for a contraption on which to play my old 78´s. If anyone knows where I might get such a thing - TUSW (Tip us the wink)
I NEED TO GO TO THE TOILET
