monochrome man Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 "The big difference is do most Brits give a f##ck?" I'm English (not a Brit). The answer is probably not and I'm not sure the poster wasn't just being mischievous. However I agree with his sentiment. I'm not a Royalist but it sometimes pisses me off when people show this kind of disrespect. I haven't seen the photos so I can't comment. I'd never visit any venue with that name: it suggests it's run by Sarf London wideboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 my g/f knew a waitress there, very cute BTW (name TA) so i went a few times. it's like many bars: it can be hit and miss. Sometimes, there's this feeling you would not be anywhere else in the world at that moment, the crowd is right, the girls participating without much hustling, and sometimes, you could just doze off. If i remember, it closes early, like 9pm, but i may be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bembaman Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I'm British. Vive La Republique is what I say. Long lie the Winchester Club. Don't bother giving me any of the 'unpatriotic' drivel. I care about all 56 million Brits, not just an over priviliged medieval, feudal, peasant scorning bunch of cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I'm English...definitely not a Royalist... so I had a smile when I went for a piss in the Winchester Club. Liked the Winchester Club but didn't think the ladies were as good looking in the main as some places I've been. Enjoyed the free brunch too but couldnt risk too many beers since I rode my motorbike from Pattaya. I'll certainly go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hi, I have been to the Winchester Club many times and have not seen one decent looking girl there at any time. However the music is good and the atmosphere is friendly. If its decent looking girls you are looking for, you won`t find any there. Kevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Hi Monochrome Man, I am interested as why you refer to yourself as English and NOT a Brit? I can understand why you may first regard yourself as English and THEN British - but I am curious as to the reason for the NOT British tag. BTW I am neither a republican nor a royalist, but as she came over to see us (down in Jersey) for the day last week we all got a day off work! Hurrah! Long live the Queen! (However I am damn glad that my taxes don't go to supporting the leeching ba#stards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 quote: Originally posted by Chanchao: Soi Yodsak is for smelly sex tourists with ugly girls getting into your pants for a hand job the moment you sit down. Well that's the description I heard about the Winchester except that it's frequented by expats rather than tourists. Like I said I heard 50% raves - 50% yuks. My experience was that I didn't find the girls good looking at all, just look at the ads in Pattaya info as an example. But then that's just my taste, or lack of it. MCJIMMYS - 3rd Rd opposite XYTE. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why you may first regard yourself as English and THEN British - but I am curious as to the reason for the NOT British tag. David, Just 2 reasons(for starters...!): firstly, factual - I AM English, not Scottish or Welsh.That's my sense of identity.I've lived all my life in England, born and bred, pay my taxes there etc. I feel no affinity to any "British" notion the state feels like promoting/forcing on me. Let them devolve if Scotland/Wales wants it. I've never felt any allegiance to the Union Jack. And I feel even less "European". Don't think I'm some blindly patriotic Englishman though. I'm suspicious of wavers of the flag of St. George, too,and the state in general. Secondly, the term Brit has perjorative connotations. See how often It's used negatively in the media: Brit = lager lout; Brit = football hooligan etc. I don't want to be lumped in with that. In fact most of these aggressive "Brits" are English, which is why the Scots and Welsh get so rightly upset when they're brought into it. If they're English say so. But we're not all like that.

I won't support that bull either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
