What you do now for entertainment?! wait patiently every day to check out your designer masks QG! my fave is still the first one, the one that seemed to be built from scaffolding.. The Concorde one, plus of course you belting out Mr Tambourine Man last night could [with a great stretch of goodwill] be called entertainment.....

Quietguy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Blowing in the Wind was good though? Even if I do take umbrage with your comment that I only know Dylan songs from 60 years ago. Has he written any songs since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I should explain that Emmy asked why bbg's forum name is blind boy grunt. I asked her if she knew Bob Dylan. bbg said there wasn't any point in trying to explain. Actually Emmy had heard of Bob Dylan, and those two songs I sang to help her understand. It wasn't for bbg's appreciation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind boy grunt Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 only reason Emmy had heard of BD was because i put a track on the bar playlist which she downloaded.. 29 minutes ago, Quietguy said: It wasn't for bbg's appreciation. thank god! 35 minutes ago, Quietguy said: Has he written any songs since then? well now, 3 or 4 maybe.... i doubt he sold recently the rights to only 2 songs for 300 million dollars.

Quietguy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Anyways, after spending more than an hour perusing this thread I'm going to mosey down to the Dongtan 7/11 for an iced coffee and a pastry. I suppose I need an ATK test less than 72 hours old so I'll take one now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up bbg + PD. I had a nice iced expresso and cinammon raisin roll. I will make this a regular mid-morning/mid- afternoon coffee stop. I should have taken pic before consuming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand may have more face masks laws than anywhere on the planet https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/land-smiles-thailand-may-more-114353086.html Thailand is justifiably known as the Land of Smiles, yet now the 70 million friendly faces of this picturesque nation are constantly hidden due to its strict face mask laws. This popular Asian destination has endured a stop-start reopening to tourists. Having relaxed its hotel quarantine from 14 nights down to just one, its borders were closed again following the emergence of omicron. But now its Test & Go regime is back, with vaccinated overseas travellers once again welcome – so long as they return negative results on days 1 and 5. So Thailand is back on holiday menus. But prospective visitors should be aware that mask use has become something of an obsession. People cover their faces while swimming, toddlers must wear them at certain times, and failure to mask up – even on an empty beach or in isolated forest – can incur a £440 fine. Even the country’s Prime Minister was financially penalised for not covering his face during a meeting last year. It has been this way since April last year, when the Thai Government announced it was compulsory for every adult to wear a mask in public, including outdoors, except while eating or drinking. - The downside is that wearing a mask at all times in public is unpleasant. As we’ve all experienced, breathing through a mask is uncomfortable even in cool climates, let alone in the volcanic heat and stifling humidity of Thailand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I still haven't got result from second PCR test I took at Jomtien Hospital on Sunday 23rd. I attended there on time. On door I was asked to show last PCR test certificate. The man said today was 8th day after landing so I couldn't get free 2nd PCR test and would have to pay 2,000 Baht if I wanted private PCR test. I pointed out to him that it clearly stated on note 'Sunday 23rd January, 9-11am' for second test. But he insisted I had to pay as it was after Day 7. I wanted to get it over with so I agreed to pay the 2,000 Baht. I was taken to Cashier and paid by credit card as I didn't have enough cash with me. Test was done and I was out within 10 minutes. I still have not received any notification of result. I am assuming it was negative, as I took an ATK test in condo on Monday which was negative. But it would be good to have an official clinic confirmation. A BM on Pattaya Addicts forum today said he got his negative confirmation on his phone from Jomtien Hospital the same night after taking test in morning. So I don't know what happened to my test result. Anyway anyone yet to take 2nd PCR test be sure to do it within Day 5-7 of landing (Day 0), or you will have to pay for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have said this sentiment before but I used to find it stressful enough on our normal pre pandemic trips with all the planning and all the pieces that had to come into place to make the trip the very best it could be. These times it's like we are hammered before we start off the blocks ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
