Bangkok horse racing (maybe this should be in Locker Room) - yesterday (Sunday) in the first race, the Maiden handicap at the Royal Turf Club meeting a horse named "Lady Boy" was among the starters. She is a young filly by Coal Play, ran a respectable race too, finishing second. It was her first race start after trialling okay last year. I'll keep an eye out for her at her next run.

Yes, the first one is "Billericay Dickie" (not sure spelling) from the album New Boots and Panties - Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

Thats a very meaningful post, Kahuna; in some ways more so than the video. I can identify with your feelings - I'd told my doctor that "I didn't want to know" and he replied "think about it - do you want to pass it on to someone?" I did think about it, and like you, I had the work done (also negative). Caution is the word, for sure.

We must be of a similar age - I can see the scene from the movie now. Your version is much better though, and if the chemistry is right, I am happy to wake up with her. That smells like ... victory!

Well, I'll have to get out more. I posted a response, thinking I may be helpful, but apparently Rx and others are more widely read than I. Maybe next time I'll think about letting it go through to the 'keeper too. Never mind, "such is life" as Ned Kelly reportedly said.

I'm with you SP; my drinking days are long gone, but water is fine - I can buy a ladydrink for the lady just the same, and the end result is not affected at all. So I think the point is to not be embarrassed by not drinking; just be relaxed about it all and enjoy.

Yes I have been caught, and dobbed in by a so-called friend (Thai, male). Suffice to say that friendship ended on the spot, and Bangkok was very chilly for some time.

Talking with a good friend who has his own taxi, and drives it himself, he assured me that the increase is no less than the taxi operators deserve - still cheap, but at least it is some reward for the hours they put in. When I compare the taxi situation with what I remember in Tasmania (Australia) I still can't believe how much better off we (the users) are in Thailand.

I'll go LB - something about the face and arm, and the way she is standing; and yes I would like to also.

With every round I look at the bill in my cup "just to make sure I have enough to pay for it" is my throw-away line. I've only been turned over once, in a bar where I didn't feel safe or secure, so I paid up and never went back. I feel that honest mistakes can happen, but dishonest mistakes are more likely; and what I would do next time would depend on how comfortable I felt about disputing the bill (and also how much the error was). Sometimes its better to have the wallet hurt than the body. Word spreads around about padding bars, and hopefully it will come back to haunt them.

Just a guess .. With a Little Help From My Friends.

I got lost in here somewhere, but is the answer to the dj question "Deep Dish"?

And the others were Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and I think George Harrison.

The Travelling Wilburys (not exactly sure of the spelling there) was the super group Roy was part of

I've been ringside at a cock fighting venue, and to me its a very cruel "sport". It was interesting to watch the other patrons, their excitement (or dismay) and the betting. But not for me. But cock fighting in the bedroom - now thats a sport !

Yes fair point, Topcat. I was looking at it from the point of view that the guy may only be here a short time, and spends his time with his new GF. So, he calls her his GF. When the holiday ends, but the fantasy doesn't .... yes, I agree with you.

I only clicked onto this thread by accident and I'm still smiling. These last 2 posts (SiamSam and Tomcat) are just brilliant and have lifted my spirits on a dismal Bangkok rainy evening. Thanks, guys.

Easy to be cynical; geez, I'm as cynical as anyone, but I think it can work ok if you can accept a certain flexibility in the relationship. If a guy goes in (no pun intended) with his eyes shut, then yes, hurt may be only a step away. But in the right circumstances, with the right couple, I think its possible. And again, depending on that relationship and the people in it, determines if it will last. But lasting was not the question - if its two people spending time together, even p4p, why not be BF & GF? Individual choice.

Yes, The Doors took their name from a book title "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. (and I believe even that came from a quotation by someone else). There is an Australian blues band THE BONDI CIGARS, who took their name from the sewage outflow at Bondi with reference to the turds floating in the sea from said outflow. Interesting idea for a thread Sam.

Getting old(er) and slowing down, obviously, but once the brain kicked into gear - those Halloween Costumes! BB, just magic! I'm glad the "Naughty Schoolgirl" costume is still available - its easily the best one there.

In answer to your question, RamenD, I don't know from first hand, but on Craigslist Bangkok today there is a ladyboy (name Nana, I believe) who says she has a small one "that you will love" (or words to that effect). The advert says she is 25, and she looks rather nice in a pink dress. I hope that helps; and welcome to the forum too.

I read the title of this thread, and the comments as well, but I just thought it would be a case of poor translation - but when the subtitles started ..... bloody hell. Yes, I'd like to know what they really said too, but it couldn't match these subtitles! On the serious side, she really does have talent IMHO.

Absolutely - what a brilliant idea - I'd feel so much safer with a wristband on! Seriously, anything that limits a tourist's freedom will have a negative impact on the very people Thailand needs to be encouraged to come here. And a "buddy system"? Electronic tracking? How about "glow in the dark" condoms so you can see where you are going? (or cumming)? I'm sure we all are saddened by the latest murders - no joking there of course - but if steps are to be taken, they need to be clearly thought through before rushing into print with at best some half-baked suggestions.

I wouldn't have the balls to shout that, BB. But I really must get out more often - talent aplenty.

This is an interesting topic, and I have sometimes thought about it. But it is not for me - I'm into enjoyment (mutual enjoyment if possible) without pain. I voted #4. As such I would choose someone who seems to fit this style, and thats where a ladydrink or two is good, to try to size up what lies ahead, through conversation and a general impression.
