Well I never knew Elton John wore nappies. Live and learn, huh!

Might just be me but that sentence does not seem right somehow.

In their bid to keep emulating Singapore, Washington Square will be rebuilt as a 40 story whore house. Bangkok's answer to Orchard towers.

The way I read it, your take on the article is what its all about. Here's the thing, what is 'Not The Nation'? If you can answer 'A (somewhat) humorous poke in the eye with a sharp stick at all and sundry' you get a gold star. Maybe not a good idea to take their reporting in any way seriously.

Given what you have to negotiate these days on the lower part of Sukhumvit I think 22 is relatively pleasant. In so far as any inner city red light slum tourist attraction ever could be. I will be strolling that very soi this coming Friday, er tomorrow.

It's just that they lower the tone of a whorehouse. Should be caged when not in use.

Denny's attracts the airline crowd that I think stay at the Imperial just down the soi. Beware the large female farang FA's that get in their occasionally. The boss lady, Som, also now has the place across the street in the Regency Park??? Place used to be Pickles, now called, er, Som's. Good food and the girls will fetch it for you if you want to dine at Denny's. It might be open air but the atmosphere at Denny's seems more pub than bar, YMMV.

Not a movie as such but a tv series, Spartacus, download series 1 and 2 with your favourite torrent client or newsgroup service. More blood and tits than is good for any series, and that's just one episode! By Jupiters fucking cock the language is fair ripe too. 4 stars

Thanks for the link, interesting little note. Didn't know about the new Chevy and having had a few of those in Thailand would not hesitate to buy another. Think I still prefer the Captiva over this new Trailblazer but that is really in another bracket I think. In my first 10 years here I drove a Jeep Cherokee pretty much exclusively, everywhere from Bangkok side streets to dirt trails up big hills on Samui and Phuket, Drove from Chiang Mai to Singapore over a week once, car never missed a beat in 10 years and that big 6 purred like a cat even if it drank like an alcoholic! Oh well I wasn't paying for the fuel back then. Today my weapons of choice are 3 in number though I will usually choose the SLK just because it can make me smile and is bollockingly good fun.

We need to be careful here lest we start another thread... Why did the sex tourist cross the road?

Food is available on the North and South sides of Suk, also both East and West of the junction, hard to starve As to the ideal place to eat whilst pondering crossing the road, I'm not sure.

Thanks for that mate, a huge character, and yes that SOUND! Definitely time for some tunes.

It seems more probable but what with Emporium barely a spit away and the new whatsit 21 the other side of Asoke the place seems to be OD'ing on shopping holes.

Walked through WS on Friday evening, but for the big sportsbar place, former katoey show place, in the middle it's just a building site now, MM's pictures tell it how it is. Well more a demolition site at the moment as they tear stuff down. Is it slated to be a hotel? Big farking area, The new Holiday Inn on the corner of Soi 22 occupies less than about a quarter of the WS demolition site. How about the rest of the Sukhumvit and Soi 22 properties bordering that lot? Will they stay or go in short order now that the work has started.

I see that the Denny's people have taken over the downstairs of the Regency Park, the other side of where Cheers is. GF knows the lady boss a bit and seems like the outside bar on the corner will be gone in due course. Does not look like the bars are all going though and I would say that though WS itself is really just a memory the whole soi 22 experience seems it will stay the same.

Amy Winehouse age 27 Just saw it on the news. No other info Never a fan and not really surprised given what I heard about the way she lived. Very tragic I guess, almost Monroe-esque in a way perhaps.

Green Hornet - just last night. Definitely the finest all action comic book hero, "Let's do something really stupid".

A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time..... I had a mate who was suicidal. He was really depressed, so I pushed him in front of a train. He was chuffed to bits. I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin... 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it... I thought to myself, these f*ck*rs have lost the plot!! I was at a cashpoint yesterday when a little old lady asked if I could check her balance. Not being one to disappoint I pushed the old dear over. A new middle east crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'. A spokesman for the channel said.... 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we know for a fact that people in Abu Dhabi Do.' My son's been asking me for a pet spider for his birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! B*ll*cks to this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web. Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy. Just heard there was an explosion at a pie factory in Huddersfield. 3.1415927 dead I was walking in a cemetery this morning and saw a bloke hiding behind a gravestone. "Morning." I said. "No" he replied, "just having a sh*t." My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’ I bought her a scale. Went around to a friends house today. His wife was sat there with their newborn baby. She asked if i'd like to wind it.... I thought that was a bit harsh so i gave it a dead leg instead. Saw my mate outside the Doctor's today looking really worried. "What's the matter?" I asked. "I've got the big C,"he said. "What, cancer?" "No, dyslexia." I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move. A Scottish paedophile has raised a dispute with eBay. He claims that the Wii GameBoy he received isn't what he was expecting.

I'm liking this Scotland thread, it's very, um, Scottish. I do think it would be more authentic if the Scotsmen posting here would actually write in Scottish rather than English. Irvine Welsh did such a fine job transliterating the language into print form that it seems a sad waste not to use it. Indeed I think it should be compulsory for Scotsmen to use said rendering of their speech in all threads.

Sukhothai is really quiet. If you ignore the old town it is a small place. I'm headed there tonight with TG who comes from there. We have found one place in town, hotel with disco and live band, forget the name but if you ask around people will know. Also a nice restaurant across the street and about 100 metres away. That's about it. If I remember I'll get the names later when she wakes up. P'lok, more happening. Same TG went to uni there and again hotel discos plus one or two other possibles. Like CW said, just ask around. Most of the available will be early to mid 20's, possibly uni girls looking to make money or more likely find a boyfriend so if you are a 50+ balding, larger, farang it is going to be harder work. Of course TIT so nothing impossible.

Saw 2012 last night, in the cinema on Siam Square opposite Paragon, forget the name. Like BB said, weak story (very weak I thought) but impressive effects come CGI work. Simple escapist entertainment and my fish enjoyed it too. I'm no fan of John Cusak either finding him acting a little too disinterested and bored in many parts I've seen him portray but thought he was good in this. It was my first time at that particular cinema and after years of multiplex and mega movie show houses it was really nice to be in something more like the size of a "real" cinema, with a really big screen and two tiers of seating. Remember, those days where the cinema had stalls and circle. It was well attended also and in fact I think the whole ambience added an extra star to the whole cinema going experience.

Got Crank on the hard drive at the moment but saving it until a working trip away with my current interest, next week, she enjoys action movies in general and JS in particular. Sounds like it might be fun to watch in bed between rounds!

I just read the details of The Constant Gardener on IMDB, looks interesting and worth a gander. I had to check out you hadn't made a mistake and meant The Uphill Gardener
