blind boy grunt

no Rom, Doncaster. long before KK signed for Scunthorpe. We both trialed for Doncaster, both failed.. i don't feel too bad about it now! i'l leave it up to you to decide the big mistake they made......

my nickname when playing [usually shouted from the other players] was either "dickhead or Wanker'...

yes Rom, you're right about the Bob Dylan thing

but the BM name...You're on the right track..nothing to do with the Beatles really, and from long before Virgil Van Dyke. Liverpool actually originated from schooldays. i used to go to school with Kevin Keegan. My later girlfriend was a friend of Jean, KKs wife. sad to say the very last time i saw him was at their wedding reception all those years ago.

We  used to play Sunday league football together... i had all the talent, but he had all the luck!  honest!

are you still doing the great Hitler stuff Rom? you should stick one of them on here for the guys to see who may not have seen before. very funny!

Teya is a diamond.  Would love to be there for her b day.  think it will be carnage (in a good way) at the bar on the night.  I wonder if anyone would staple a 100 baht note on her necklace on the night?  I will be back in late Feb/early march and I can pay you back then.......but you have to tell her its from me!!  LOL!!!

i'll happily do that for you Archie, no worries. consider it done.

also news is filtering through concerning a Meet and greet in feb/march- not sure of the date yet but it will be a big one.  watch for details in january.

easy to see who's the boss then start as you mean to go on S.P!

Posted yesterday in the Community Calendar section - wherever that is - bit of a clunky system !

ah...sorry Quinn...i did search for it...  forgot about that section. i'll get you an additional designer stirrer today as an apology! you know what i mean.

and also....at the same event.... not quite as pretty as teya.... but it's his birthday too, so we'll let him come. A good man indeed...Annat.  art work again by Quinn.

Mr Quinn is getting Lazy...or forgetful... so i'll do it! Of course, Artwork by the main man.

Not to worry Nosh.... Jomtien is already buzzing and agog with excitement and anticipation. Red carpet is out on Soi 4.. Police Motorbike outriders are already on the way to escort the Zaza bus. A Kangeroo has been borrowed from the Zoo and is chained up outside the Katty bar [don't get too excited SP... remember Dao will be with you] 

A Billabong [whatever they are] is under construction outside the Katty.... Billy's are already boiling.   But sorry, we can't find anyone called Matilda!

Stereotyping? not me!

Wish I was going to be there with you guys tomorrow night, but alas I will have to content myself with another night in front of the fire watching a pile of old shite on the telly. Still BBG, I will content myself with 11 points clear at top of the league. 

what! you'll  be watching a Man Utd game ? !

sorry Duke!

11 points clear is just the start Ciobha... wait until the boys start playing on top form...still to come.

Don't fall for that one BBG. Those two rascals Bumbledude and Pigdogg have been known to lull people into a false sense of security, then when you least expect it they will pin you down on the ground and tickle yer stomach. The reprobates!!!!

try as i might...i can't think of an answer to that! but then again...it's probably better not to think about it too much..........

hope to see some of you guys at the Noshing with Nosher night tonight!

Fuck me have you actually SEEN Pdogg????

i have.... but without giving too much away... Lily is much prettier.

oh my-my.

Have only seen this topic recently, and all the nightmares are coming back. And please guys help me out here and never talk about plastic bags and Baked Beans in the same sentence. Er...like i have just done..

I should say here that i'm now of the Quietguy and backpack school of thought [however much it pains me to agree with him....]

I guess that you all all wondering by now what on earth i'm talking about? maybe you're thinking that Ol' Blind boy is having some sort of Acid flashback to '68? You know what i mean... Purple Haze in the brain and all that? Fear ye not... in time all will come clear....  anyway, you've got to have a brain to have flashbacks!

'Twas but a month or so ago when Ol' Blind Boy went to the store to buy a couple of tins of Baked Beans.  Italian ones from Foodmart are by far the best other than Heinz of course [just a useful bit of info there!] and also the cheapest.

So, off on my trusty bicycle [Mo the grod] to foodmart i went.
 Oh dear...i'm not explaining very well am i? 'Mo the grod' is the name of my trusty steed. If you're reading this Duke... The bike isn't named after your friend Mona... but after a certain Egyptian footballer... 'grod' being slang for a bicycle at the school i went to all those years ago in those pre Purple Haze days..

oh what am i doing? i'm rambling that's what. So to cut what should be a short story even shorter.

There i was riding back along beach Road burning rubber with a plastic bag and 2 tins of beans dangling from the handlebars. When suddenly the back wheel went straight up in the air and i went flying over the said handlebars leaving Mo in the middle of the road. Looking a bit forlorn but possibly not as embarrassed as i was.
I just couldn't work out what had happened..at first i thought i'd been hit by a car...but no, the back wheel was fine. I got back on the bike and rode home, sort of noticing that the front wheel was a little wobbly to say the least.

Parking the bike i went to the condo and thought...mmmm...maybe a little lie down is in order. Which i duly proceeded to have. Waking up a couple of hours later i noticed [could hardly miss it really] that the bed was covered in blood, from a hell of a graze below the knee...  didn't even know i'd done it... no pain whatsoever.
Eventually after sorting that out and picking half of beach road from the leg with tweezers i checked the plastic bag to find two tins of crushed baked beans... very crushed. Went down to check the bike and found a front wheel with 3 spokes ripped out of the rim. It seems that  the dangling bag had decided to wrap itself between the front fork and the wheel. 

But here's the great thing! for 60 years i've had  a blue knee... i.e half of a Yorkshire road embedded in the knee below the skin... [that was 2 weeks off school... great!] But as the scab has finally dropped off from the latest disaster i can see that the northern grit has been ripped out as a result of the recent scrape. I have a proper coloured knee again!
how can one man be so lucky?...

so... every story should have a moral... and this could be...... [you decide]
1.always listen to Uncle Quietguy...
2. don't eat baked Beans...
3. don't be a stupid 70 year old riding a bicycle..... whilst carrying a plastic bag.

I’ll take an advanced payment on the next job and let you know when it’s going down.  I promise, have you ever met a dishonest man in Pattaya ......

no...never have...will you take a cheque?.....

okay...god knows what i did! mind you it was 2 a.m. think i did the black button. but i definitely clicked on evening time [or whatever} and disabled the 'all day'

hang on until Tool Noshers bash is over and the Mighty Quinn will post the Teya poster and details.

always remember P. i'm a technological idiot!

BBG, It's a pity I'm not in town when BB is there as I think I would be a good definitely at least apply for an apprenticeship

apprenticeship?.... i'd pay him!

yes Pdoggg... i can see the green button... and humbly confess that i turned off the all day event option....sorry!

just wait SJ.... the spats will soon be back no doubt! but i guess this forum isn't the place to discuss that forum, much as i'd like to!

but as you have found, and i agree... here is a much more pleasant place to be... and there are vacancies for fluffers and oil-up men from time to time......

i tried to add Teya's birthday part 29 dec  at the Katty Pdoggg...couldn't get it to work though.

obviously us Jomty boys will make our own way SP... unless i can sit on Sophia's knee on the bus of course! [don't tell Bighorn i said that!]

nice idea about the free bus S.P. i'd imagine a trip with the zaza crew on a baht bus would set the evening off nicely! i might just go into patts to ride back on it!

okay...8.30.... i guess that emmy will start the bbq about 9ish. seems sensible?

I was a bit disappointed ( for Emmy )  when I was told about a party on the same night as ours , I am not really a party person but any time spent with Dao is a bonus 

so party time it is . 

   Hope to see as many guys there as we can , even if its just a drop in and gone again .

  I will be organizing a baht bus from Zaza Massage to Katty Bar , leaving at 8.00 PM who ever wants to come along. 

Nosher.... Fan7 has posted on the nasty forum....bus leaves at 8.30 sharp... you want to confirm?

also any idea yet how many zaza crew will be coming? [i know it's difficult] just thinking whether emmy needs to borrow a big table from the temple.

ah! sorry Nosher...your update came in as i was writing!

not really Archie...it's just the way that they have worked out. it's actually better sometimes to keep them away from weekends particularly during the english football season.

The planning committee... [me and Quinn!] did at one point discuss days and sort of thought that as most people either live here permanently or are on holiday anyway...then weekends don't come into it.

Basically, what date or day people want...they shall get.

Wish I were there for this.......hope she and the bar does well on the night!!!

Should be back in late Feb/earlyish March!

well Archie, there are other 'Meet and Greets' in the early planning stages for around that time, obviously not definite yet... but something will be happening.

Anyone who hasn't a clue about M&Gs, the were designed originally for 2 reasons, one of course to help Emmy and the other for forum members [of whatever forum] to meet people that they have known on the net, but not in person,  a chance to put faces to names sort of thing.

They never turn into big parties, and aren't really intended to be so. More of a get-together chit-chat sort of thing. Mind you they can soon liven up a bit...especially if Sunny gets a sniff of an opened beer bottle!

We've had some very good ones really...in fact all of them... usually just a good civilised night out for around [usually] 10-15 people.

The Katty bar is perfect for this sort of thing, small and intimate, and emmy is thankfully of the no loud music school of thought [i don't know who influenced her!]

and the food her sister, or aunt, or cousin, cooks is to die for. [sorry...thai families still confuse me a bit...] all food is free, all that is asked is that people eating put a small tip in the tip box for the sister/aunt/cousin who spends ages preparing and on the night bbq-ing.

a splendid time is guaranteed for all.....

Dunno if it was on this thread,  but some were asking if Pokki is still working in the Katty?.

At 4 pm today i popped in to take a copy of Quinn's artwork of the1st December stoolpusher etc bash.

For Emmy to pin to the wall. Pokki was sat there on duty and said  'yes' she is still working.
