    I hope you are paying your coffee bills on time.

    clever one QG! T bills yes?

    it hasn't been a good few days for PD.  not only is he not your booster bro anymore, but coffee in 7-11 has increased by 5 baht!

    Right now, nothing longer than 3 months with brokered CDs yielding better than Tbills.

    When the Fed stops hiking I will shift into 1 Year or 2 year Tbills as they can be sold commission free and at a decent price without much markup at Fidelity.  It's not easy to dispose of brokered CDs at a good price so for me only extremely short duration.

    Perhaps after the coming recession I will move into stocks.

    Bloody hell! Woodie, QG, BB... you are coming here soon.

    Now, i'm not 100% sure, because i can only speak English, but i think that PD is saying 'don't bring any CDs to sell here, especially broken ones' ... heed his warning..

     i guess that includes country and western CDs QG, sorry. maybe after the fed stops hiking

  3. Well well well... i finally made it there today.

    I should confess that i'm not the most fussy foodie, although in a previous life in England i have eaten in some of the worlds great hotels, also in Japan, Las Vegas, you name it.

    i have also eaten absolute cheap crap for the last ten years in Pattaya.. so it was with mixed feelings that i tried the Grill House today, i'd read the reviews but sort of expected the worst.

    it was quite frankly the best meal that i have ever had here, and possibly in the whole of Thailand. Certainly in that price range.

    i echo all that Jimbo posted. Bang on Jimbo.

  4. The Demise of the Booster Brothers

     

    Many of you know the Booster Bros, and of how they tried to guide and protect us through the difficult recent times of strife that we all lived through.

    But, perhaps one of them was living a lie?

    Quietguy, I am not referring to you. I know that you are still true to your roots and your faith.  And, I have to say that your advice and statistics helped me and many of us. I know too that you still protect yourself with a mask, and a faceguard thing, and another mask over the faceguard, and also crash helmet with the visor down. I say to you and hope that others agree with me, well done QG! Thank you for showing us the way. And also, explaining about Chips and French fries too.

    However, I would suggest that you sit down before reading further QG. There is some disturbing news and some good news too, for you.

    It seems to me that your fellow Booster bro has abandoned the cause QG!

    He seems to have forgotten that being a brother is much more than having a booster shot every week. How do I know this? Well I know it because I have seen him twice in the last week, and neither time was he wearing a mask!!

    Honest QG, I was gobsmacked. How can a true Booster bro not wear a mask? I am wondering if all the time he was just a pseudo bro, trying to bask in your image.

    So consequently cowpoke, I feel that he can no longer be considered a true brother.  I know QG that you bled for us, to help keep us safe, especially when you kept slicing your nose trying to put the faceguard on correctly.

    As you know I was keeping a booster bros league table. I have stopped that now. Because there can be only one winner. QG, you are that winner of course. You are now permitted to call yourself ‘Boosterman’ and please, I hope that you are proud to do so. You should be.

    Well done Quietguy!

    P.D you are relegated….

    How have you never heard of Nirvana?

    i didn't say that i have never heard of Nirvana.

    I said that i have never heard NIrvana. Totally different thing.  never heard many bands from that era either... i see them mentioned now and again, Stone Roses etc etc. never heard them either.

    The Beatles (Sorry, bbg).

    You do me a disservice Seven!   other than perhaps 3-4 songs i never liked the Beatles. But, would agree with your 2nd choice. NIrvana? never heard them so can't comment.

    My choice for most overrated band [sorry Woodie!] would be Queen. [are we allowed to say Queen in this thread?.....]

    i think that The Beatles were probably Quinn's fave beat combo. Certainly in these cannabis days i quite often see him floating along beach road muttering over and over 'I am the Eggman, they are the eggmen''  Obviously, i don't mean floating physically,.... metaphysically of course.

    In reality though it could be his new extra-long, extra-pointy winklepickers that give the illusion of him skiing uphill or floating.

    Strange days have found us...

    Are those the fries above the carrots? They look like they have some sort of batter coating.

    these days in Jomtien, it's more likely to be Cannabis batter

    but seriously this place sounds excellent

    Did i mention the fries(chips) - oh my God, fantastic!

    strangely enough Jim i was talking to PD yesterday about chips and how they used to be fried using lard in England way back when , and how they tasted much better than before cooking oil came on the scene. i wonder if they are maybe using lard. I'm going to find out!

    French (really Belgian) Fries are thin cut deep fried potatoes.

    Chips are thicker cut deep fried potatoes.

    Crisps are thin deep fried slices of potatoes.

    Americans call crisps chips.

    somebody shoot me please!

    stick to afghani trannys QG!

    i wonder if they like potatoes?

  10. well being as i have never bought shite on a stick from one of those food cart things in the last 17 years... no problem for me. Anyway i reckon the dirty money is cleaner than the food..

    Out of curiosity, are Thai banknotes that were in circulation in February 2019 still allowed?

    Is BBG still using old money?

    yes Seven. Grunt has no idea what a QR code is, is it a black and white picture thing? and  how does one scan it without a scanner?  I ain't got one of them.

    The average American eats 29 lbs (13.15 kgs) of french fries a year.

    Stats man is back! The world is okay!

    But on first reading the figures quoted seem alarming  but over 365 days are very small.  Needs more investigation QG,

    e.g, how are the figures compiled?  are the potatoes weighed before being peeled and fried? if so the weight of the peel needs to be deducted.

    and are microwave fries included? oven fries? air cooker fries?

    i think that you are going into your commie pinko anti-American gumph QG... are you attempting to insinuate that Americans are fat? Where did you get that idea from?........... they don't even wear white hoodie shirts in Pattaya....

    i know for example that your booster bro isn't fat, I've seen him at volleyball nights in his Thong...

    you are gonna have Lance after you QG! quite rightly too.

    The French Fries (Chips) were perhaps the best I've ever had anywhere in the world.

    good info PD.  But i got some for you too....

    when you are enjoying a coffee at 7-11 you can now have French Fries [chips] as well! i guess [speculate] that they are maybe [perhaps] not so nice. I haven't tried them so don't know but i speculate [guess] that they are microwaved.

    I can't imagine hot oil being used in the shop [premises]

    but, here's the good news, you get a little tub of Ketchup/catsup too!

    we'll go out for dinner one night PD!

    QG, Covid vaccines are a bit like The Terminator movies. After the second one, it all becomes a bit pointless.:biggrin:
