Please explain! Is it an 'in' joke' of some sort?

The old school fans of Manchester United and City will definitely get it , so yeah probably more of an 'in' joke. 

R. I. P. Olivia

I went to see her in Concert at the Manchester Apollo on 30/11/1978, had a front row seat and still remember it like it was yesterday. 

God Bless

From the other night 

Anyone been in the Patcha Bar on Soi 4, not got a sign yet (but it used to be the Katty Bar)

Apparently a few LB's mooching about in there 

Party Tonight

This one was Jen, Cocktail and Dreams bar Phuket. Nearly 10 years ago. A great little femboy who I wish I'd known longer. Unfortunately had a bad drug habit and ended up going to jail for murder of all things. Totally out of character - she was very sweet and honest when I knew her...

Yep a real shame Jimmy, couldn't believe when I heard that Jen had stabbed her mate to death. 

I met her and barfined her from C&D's just before this incident, wonder how she is doing. 

She did agree to some free publicity for this forum while naked too

Guess who seems to be gone?

Nothing since April 27, last year. Covid casualty?

He's probably not been back to Thailand for 2 or 3  years, like a lot us.

Also named Dave is the owner of Cantebury Tales accross the soi from Chow Soy. Unfortunately he is not in the best of health.

I know Canterbury Dave pretty well, also had a lot of fun staying there a few times n the past, a  great guy and so I have booked to stay there again for the Nostalgia later this year, looking forward to more chinwags with the big fella

I remember you and I being given 50% off our drinks at one occasion we were there at the venue thanks to your friend Dave who arranged it for us. Fantastic night and a really great show.     

It certainly was amogo, and the 50% discount off our drinks was a lovely gesture by Dave

  Can’t remember his name, but I think it was run by a small Scottish gent.  I was more that surprised to see him being the compare in the Venue in the Jomtien Complex one night.  He always struck me as a regular gg guy who pm you wouldn’t expect to see in that part of town.  
 

His name is Dave, and he was the manager of the The Venue for the owner and a very good friend of his with whom he met and knew from Blackpool, his mate also started up and then sold the firm NetFlights (of which I have booked so many Flights with and swear by). 

Can't remember the owner of The Venue's name but he would only visit Thailand once or twice a year and just left Dave to run it for him (5 or 6 nights a week). 

Dave was also married (probably still is) to a very pretty young waitress that worked in the Chow Soy.

Gutted I used to go there for breakfast most days when in Pattaya.

Met more BMs there than any bar. When I was there for month each week my coffee mug got bigger their was extra bacon and sausage on my plate by the end of the month

They used different sausages depending on which meal you had, the English Breakfast ones for were smaller but if for example you ordered Sausage, Egg & Beans or Chips the 'Bangers' were a lot bigger and were of far better quality imho, I was actually looking forward to going back in there later this year for a scran but alas that may not be the case 

Funny thing was I was going to email Dave the owner a couple of months ago to see if Room 2 was vacant for my next visit, as many a ladyman have made me very happy chappy there . 

Shame one of my old haunts is Up for Sale, have very happy memories of this place both upstairs and downstairs 

.

Looks like Man City have copied Nick Dean's design for their new away shirt

I think seeing the Stones and Dylan is money well spent mate. I haven't visited LOS since 2019 but did about ten times in the seven years before, and to be honest I was and am a bit jaded with Thailand. I'd rather see a Music legend at home.

(ladyboys.....meh!!)

Same here and that why I chose to go and  see Diane Ross in Concert at the Manchester Arena last month instead of a trip to Thailand or Turkey, real 'Legends' don't come around too often these days and it was an opportunity I wasn't going to miss. 

Luvvly Jubbly Herb, thanks for the updates

Mine hasn't either, even after a few more than 40 years. Saw them live in the Auckland Town Hall. Must have been around 1965.

That must have been a proper blast mate 

Can't believe it's 40 years ago today that me and a mate were at Roundhay Park in Leeds to see the greatest Band ever, The Rolling Stones. 

It was a very warm day and when I lay down to take a nap before The Stones came on I opened my eyes to find I was looking up the short skirt of a very pretty young girl who had stood astride my head, to my glee she was also wearing black panties, ahh the scent of a woman.. Bliss. 

One of the best days of my life. 

Roundhay Park 1982

Even though I was only 21 years old, I was telling everyone afterwards that watching Keith Richard (my God ) strutting his stuff to 'Sympathy for the Devil' was better than sex, I haven't changed that opinion 40 years on. 

Some of Keefs genius

And finally Sympathy for the Devil (Keith's strutting his stuff starts at 2mins 3secs) from Tokyo in 1990
