    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...

    I think Grunt has been smoking the blotting paper again ! The Beatles - I was vaguely aware of their work - I was adrift between Coltrane and His Bobness !

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

    20 Baht Plastic notes abound ! Washable and Spendable !

    Tonight I was chillin at Emmy Bar.  Teya bought some food from one of the ubiquitous food carts that roam around the sois and to my amazement she paid by scanning a QR code.

    She said it is now quite common and the pandemic accelerated Prompt Pay usage so infected banknotes don't get passed around.  Food prepares shouldn't be touching money anyway.

    So I started fooling around with my phone, agreed to some Terms and Conditions and figured out how it works.  

    Bottom line if you are low on cash but have a Thai bank account and so does your ladyboy du jour it's an alternative way to pay for boom boom.

    My - you have been away a long time ! 'Grunt' will be pleased to know all this ! 5555

  4. Aah - Chelsea Boots. Classy ! Bought my first pair in Paris in 1960. I was there for a week with some chums. On our walkabout I spotted a pair of cuban heeled chelsea boots in the window of a small shoemakers/cobblers/cordonnier (!). Had to have them. A size too small but the old guy was determined they would fit sooner or later. He'd shout me in every day and made me a coffee whilst he used a stretching apparatus on the boots. Back in England they caused quite a stir - standing out amongst the usual footwear of clogs.! The last pair of Chelsea Boots I had went to the local charity shop as I was leaving England to live here 12 years ago.

    Fashion Alert ! Grunt is on the lookout for a pair of 'Winklepicker Crocs' !
