I can't believe I have been living here 5 and a half years now as time goes so quickly when your enjoying most of it. When I wasn't I always looked forward to the buzz of a trip as it was a trip of fantasy land in a blur of passion and madness. Now living a completely different than before lifestyle but normal by all accounts in Thailand I still love the buzz of a trip to Pattaya. Being here is like living in a cartoon ( resist the photos Dukie

A few more from Nok's birthday. #labambalovelies

After so many trips the buzz is still there, but as others have said, it gets delayed. For me the buzz starts to kick in an hour before touching down in BKK when I go to the lavatory to freshen up and pop a Cialis. A quickly moving line through Immigration, getting my checked luggage with no issues, and a short line downstairs at the taxi stand add to my, ahem, growing good mood. Then the rush really comes when the taxi is making its way up soi 4. All the long stemmed beauties, the bars, the food carts. Oh, yeah. We're buzzin now!

Even more photos from Nok's birthday. More to come? You bet! #labambalovelies

Would this be Nancee ?

Nice to see that the 'embassy' dodge worked for you, Sylvester ... But 'consulate' is the actual word that they respond to best, as there are many consulates in town & they're familiar with the word, but 'embassy' & 'my government' are both good too. Talking of which, if you're from the UK & you actually bother to read your travel advice, it will tell you not to give up your passport to anybody, but to always carry a photocopy on your person. Khun Gutsy & Sylvester, the chances of you getting pulled up at night in Chiang Mai are 77,000 squillion to 1... I piddle past night time road blocks in flip-flops with no crash hat riding on a sports racer motorbike, which should be an immediate pull, but they just leave me alone, because after the sun goes down it's no longer tea money time & they're expected to go after real criminal, especially kids donkeying Yabba or ice about. However, there is always the 1% of times, & I did actually get banged up for a D&D last year (as many of you know), but that was the only night time road block that I've been stopped at in fifteen years & I did nearly run over a handful of policemen.. Plus, it was quite a way out, in a Thai area, because they really don't want to stop tourists having a good time... Unless it's tea time, of course. The best thing to do is wear some funny Foo Man Choo mustache & squint your eyes up a bit & pretend you're Chinese ... You'll get away with what the fuck you want then, as the BIB have been told not to touch them.

Watched about 15 minutes of the second video so far. This guy Sunny owns a house and a car. But gets irritated when guys of more modest means don't want to pay barfines or buy ladydrinks as if it's some sort of sacred duty. Seems like a judgmental prick who wants to impose his way of doing things on others. Interesting though. Good find Duke!

The Buzz.....looking for "lub" maybe??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIWxHm2p2sM

@Stealth Plenty of good places to eat in Cebu if you get away from Mango and Ayala. This is a great place to have a quality beer and some tasty food: https://www.facebook.com/Irie.Gastropubliko Some others that are decent: http://oliocebu.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ParilyaPH https://www.facebook.com/tokyotablecebu

Berra-isms (colloquial expressions that lack logic) are now countless, and many of them are just attributed to Berra, even if he never actually said them. As he so perfectly put it: “I never said most of the things I said.” Here are 50 of our favorites. 1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. 2. You can observe a lot by just watching. 3. It ain’t over till it’s over 4. It’s like déjà vu all over again. 5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded. 6. Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical. 7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. 8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours. 9. We made too many wrong mistakes. 10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. 11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. 12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you. 13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four. 14. Never answer an anonymous letter. 15. Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting. 16. How can you think and hit at the same time? 17. The future ain’t what it used to be. 18. I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better. 19. It gets late early out here. 20. If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them. 21. We have deep depth. 22. Pair up in threes. 23. Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel. 24. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there. 25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies. 26. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. 27. Bill Dickey is learning me his experience. 28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious. 29. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much. 30. I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five. 31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads. 32. I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary. 33. I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. 34. In baseball, you don’t know nothing. 35. I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? 36. I never said most of the things I said. 37. It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility. 38. If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer. 39. I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I’d never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest-high catch, and he never walked off the field. 40. So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face. 41. Take it with a grin of salt. 42. (On the 1973 Mets) We were overwhelming underdogs. 43. The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase. 44. Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. 45. Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training. 46. You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go. 47. I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine. 48. If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work. 49. If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be. 50. A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.

Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion. If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds'. Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts. 'How long will this take?' I asked. They will grow larger over a period of years,' my husband replies. I stopped. 'Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?' Without missing a beat he says, 'Worked for your ass, didn't it?
