Thanks @Sylvester. I think I can guess. I'll take it onboard.

Best Wishes to you too @Herberthfor the New Year! I expect to be visiting your bar very soon after all the good things I've heard on here.

Top row, second from left?

I will try to drink less alcohol and lose at least 10 lbs (4.5 kg).

Did you get to see anything bb? The light pollution over London makes it difficult to see the fainter planets but I did see Venus, Saturn and Jupiter which was the biggest and brightest. I think Mars will be visible a bit later. Pics of Jupiter behind the Moon from my window.

France?

Tonight all the planets in our solar system will be visible. Doesn't happen very often, about every 20 years. The dawning of the Age of Aquarius? Auspicious for Teya on her birthday? https://www.metro.co.uk/2022/12/29/you-can-see-all-the-planets-in-the-solar-system-in-the-sky-tonight-18009154/

The 'English girl' is actually Lithuanian, and has probably gone back after Brexit. Another downside. Unfortunately I won't be there tonight, I arrive next year.

Quinn has probably repurposed some classical painting by a famous artist, but I wouldn't know which one. I'd guess a 19th century French painter. I've only heard of Gaugin and Toulouse Letrec - I don't think I've spelt those right. Or maybe Vincent Van Gogh, though he might be Dutch.

You started it, talking about masks and boosters.

Talk of a new covid wave here, and flu.

Nok was bbg's favourite squeeze pre-Lily. Nok had a massage shop in Soi Pothole.

So which one was the lucky girl?

Are you sure it's not Grunt Eastwood?

'Tis the Season to be merry!

Road to Jomtien with Bing Grunt and Bob Quinn?

Did you see a lost looking Santa Grunt with a full sack looking for Nok to give her a Xmas surprise?

Wishing everyone a Merry Xmas!!!
