Turns out we're not the only moaning old farts though it seems as even if you just type Adult only flights into Google there is a mountain of people and surveys talking about it and up to half the people surveyed ( who have children themselves even) say it's not an unreasonable idea - but of course only in business class it seems - us cattle class low lifes will just have to suffer and smile it seems for a while longer :-( http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=adult+only+flights&oq=adult+only+flights&gs_l=hp.3..0i22i30.1050.3253.1.3892.18.17.0.0.0.0.135.1541.13j4.17.0.les%3Beappsweb..0.0...1.1.5.hp.d4P-H2fmMyw&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43287494,d.d2k&fp=de49eac6adf4710e&biw=1838&bih=944

"Will he be another homophobic fascist who will try to impose his immoral views on the rest of the world" ?? Why is there any other kind of Priest or Cardinal - if so I haven't met them. Just like the Father Ted episode where Father Ted is trying to convince people that priests are not likeNazi's and says "oh no, you've got us all wrong, Nazi's dress all in black and go round telling people what to do all day, whereas priests..........Oh, right fair enough so :-( lol

I feel his pain, I try to get away with the bare minimum of work everyday myself and usually manage it quite well most days too ! And no delete button - shameful behaviour ! who came up with THAT idea ? :-) Oh, that wasn't quite please and pretty please delete my post as I'd intended it to be it seems ! opps :-)

Apologies, i didn't see that post - point me in the right direction if you would, where's the delete button, I am looking but don't see it anywhere obvious ( or I may just be being blind of course !)

Speaking of haircuts, firstly one of the things i LOVE about going to Thailand is going in and getting my hair cut and styled ( especially in soi twilight etc as gay hairdressers in Thailand are SOOOO fussy about their and your hair, which I love - however aside from that has anyone tried one of the new very small "pop up" style barbers that seem to be appearing in the MRT / train stations / shopping malls etc, where basically it's a proper barbers chair plonked in the middle of any busy area and away they go, basically working on the shoe shine type concept except cutting your hair instead - oh and it's ridiculously cheap I seem to recall like 100-200 baht or something I think, but I also think your hairs cut in super fast time ( as you were probably there to catch a train I assume). Personally I wouldn't risk it in case it was a crap haircut but any stalls that I've seen seem to have a queue so they must be doing something right I guess ! oh and just to stay on topic about favourite pics etc - the guy below was obviously ahead of his time as his barbers shop in Vietnam was simply a briefcase opened up and nailed to a tree every day with his cutting gear and razor ( with new clean blades, I did check first !) stuffed in to it and away he went - and to be fair to him his haircut and wet shave was first class ! :-)

Ha you've obviously been listening in to my justification meetings here in the office as everytime I debate going away I go through the above "I really shouldn't go it's getting to dear" ritual, only my office manage to agree with me and say I'm right that it is awfully expensive for two weeks away - only for me to then use your logic ( which usually starts with but if I was going out locally it would cost me £50 in taxis alone before I even bought a drink and that's half a night out paid for in sunee ) of course in reality I don't go out in said taxi for 16 nights in a row and I most certainly always spend more than £50 a night - EVERY night so my and your recouping plan doesn't quite work either it seems :-(

ha and there I was fully expecting the " You started it" "no we didn't" " yes you did you invaded Poland" clip ! :-)

So just to clarify - are we blaming Ryan Air ( also spit) for the founding of the Nazi Empire and all that followed -the crazy thing is is this was posted on facebook rather than be shocked and demand an immediate redaction that bugger O'Leary would probably run the story for a few days first to get the free PR out of it ! And as for a reduction for having a screaming baby within 10 feet oh you - listen up airlines as he's a tip - I would pay EXTRA just to ensure there was no such annoyance with 50 foot of my on a long haul flight, creche areas / nominated baby areas on flights are WAY over due if you ask me to enable those of us who DON"T want to be tortured for 11 hours listening to someone else's kid brawling its lungs out to have the right not to ! * note - and the award for Gumpy Bastard of the week goes to ......NIrish guy it seems ! lol

I take it you've flown air India / Jet Airways before then :-) OH MY GOD deodorant people, it isn't that difficult and surely can only be considered good manners to your fellow passengers when travelling ! Mind you I guess perhaps the Indian gentleman sitting beside me is probably sitting cursing the waft of soap shop and all over smelly stuff that's sitting beside him that's polluting HIS airways, each to their own and all that then i guess, but I know which smell I would rather have, washed and clean or 3 day old armpit ! :-( And going back to the weight thing when you think about it as you've mentioned they already charge your bags by weight once you're over the basic figure so why NOT charge by weight for the person to ! Ha I'd just need to be sure not to book my ticket too far in advance perhaps based on how my scales seem to go up and down with a mind of their own these days !

leading on nicely to the whole debate then about should very large people ( I mean fat of course) but asked to pay for TWO seats on a plane, the No\s of course state human rights etc which is a fair point however if I'm the person stuck wedged in in the middle of two fat people on a long haul flight and find I can't move either arm for fear of elbowing someone at that point I would be an advocate for non voluntary euthanasia never mind charging more ! lol Mind you I guess the simple answer is the airlines should provide us all with a seat that's comfortable and roomy no matter WHAT for the prices they charge ! Oh and to stay on topic I TOTALLY agree re the advertising, especially re the airline trade where it seems to be rife, i get an email from "cheapflights.co.uk" once a week with some GREAT deals such as London - Bangkok for £300 etc - until you actually ring and try to book and then it seems that flight has "just been sold" ( always) and turns on they have one a year at that price and the others involve crazy layovers and are only available if you are accompanied by people over 125 years old or something and of course the next "normal" fare you get is actually dearer than the standard airline price !! SOOOO annoying !

well now you see to perhaps TOTALLY contradict what I've just said above over the last few years like you I've covered several of the main the Europeans gay hot spots such as Siteges, Gran Can, Barcelona, Amsterdam etc etc as well as squeezing in SE Asia and around the time of booking I being a creature of habit go through the same stupid ritual of saying NO, I'm going to LOS this time, it's too bloody expensive, I'll just stay "local" i.e. in the E.U BUT ! then after sitting down and going over the flights to "somewhere" then the (usually gay) hotel and the single room supplement in some places ( or at least the room price being mentally set by the hotels to accommodate more than one person) by the time I've worked all that out a week or so say in Siteges can come to around say £900 all in with no effort - and then I work out the £600 flight to LOS and the "cheap" hotel ( which it isn't anymore) and somehow convince myself that LOS is still better value and think fuck it and book that. THEN however after deciding to just go to LOS and to hell with it think "but it's so far to fly, a weeks hardly enough, fuck it I'll make it two weeks, then also think well there's no point travelling on a friday and being wrecked for thew weekend when I arrive so plan to leave on the Thursday and return on the Monday / Tuesday so my two weeks becomes two and a half with the added hotel costs of course and THEN you factor in the partying and boy/ drink/ boys drinks costs etc etc and low and behold your "I'll nip away for a cheap week somewhere" has turned into a three week main bloody holiday costing £3 or 4k by the time I've finished without even trying - so I guess it's maybe not the Baht rates fault and more just my own lack of sticking to the original plan ! lol - But no, bugger it, I'll keep blaming the drop in the pound, that sounds like a MUCH better excuse for me I think :-)

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one but whilst not 100% to do with the exchange rate but in some large part to do with it I am now actively looking at going to somewhere other than Thailand for my summer break as it is just getting dearer and dearer to go there at every level. Obviously the Pound dropping screws up everything no matter where you're travelling to, but as has already been pointed out when you factor in things like the high drinks prices etc it DOES all start to add up and whilst I am by no means a cheap charlie or a Baht watcher when I'm on holiday I do return after each trip now and after each and every trip now say WHAT ! HOW MUCH ! - and yes the sex is good of course and I do enjoy Thailand but you can also find similar places such as the Philippines etc for much less and the local bars etc could do well to remember that when continually scamming us in so many ways - mind you I doubt they give a shit as western farang are now of course somewhere close to the bottom of the pecking order I would imagine compared to the Asian and Russian market these days when it comes to who they want to keep coming back.

I took this pic myself when in Vietnam - I've heard of getting a carry out meal delivered perhaps but this guy takes the biscuit - and the poor old cow was still alive and looking up at me every time we stopped beside it in traffic, god know WHAT it was thinking was going on ! :-(

Two nuns sharing a bath, one Nun says to the other Nun "oh where's the soap" the other nun smiling mischievously as she rubs herself under the water looks up and replies "yes, it does doesn't it" :-)

Well I guess we could compromise, I'll just go to that La Bordeaux french restaurant then in Pattaya when I'm there and take some boy wonder for the evening in your place - and you can ring and settle the ( what will I warn you be a ridiculously expensive) bill when we've finished with your Visa card, oh and if you could put the boys tip on there too that would be much appreciated as I intend to totally kick the ass out of it to make you suffer for your previous libellous remarks, hell a more shallow insecure person would have been on with their lawyers already by now, you should think yourself lucky that I'm so forgiving ! :-) See, don't worry, we can always find a way :-)

Oh come on now, what you don't think I actually checked before posting that this time, I may be daft but I'm not stupid ! So it appears I'm right after all and apologies are perfectly in order after all :-) Don't worry I shall receive them ALL graciously ! :-)

ha ha SHIT ! it appears you're right ! :-) I had mentally noted that you'd commented in this blog too but it appears your comment was merely about your wee bag :-) It may it appears have been a certain Mr Fountainhall who also suggested that perhaps it was that I may have spent to much time imbibing at certain BKK bars it seems lll So, for my mistake I apologise ! See, A447a now THAT'S hows it's done, simple, clean and quick, with no ambiguity and with a heartfelt remorse which is all that's required, it's really NOT all that difficult for SOME it seems ! lol

I'm more a hob knob man myself but I find those picky Italians get AWFULLY prissy when you start dunking them in their caffe and even more so if they break off before you get eating them and they start to ask you to leave, see between them and the damned french.......God SOME people eh ! :-)

Oh Chaotou thank you thank you thank you !! :-) I KNEW there was the special floor of course but when seeing that there was no talking to my detractors who were so quick to judge and the doubters who were so quick to slur the reputation of such a good and wholesome person as myself, writing me off as a some raging alcoholic I simply chose to take the higher ground and not lower myself to their doubting, insulting, ill mannered low class levels ! I just put their behaviour down to the fact that"obviously" some people just aren't classy enough to be put in the secret VIP area that you and I obviously were allocated to on arrival and THEIR rooms were probably on the lower ( 3rd or 4th class) levels of the hotel as befitting their status in life, hence they end up with such mean spirited chips on their shoulders I guess and even when they are proved wrong by yet another high class guy such as yourself backing up my facts they STILL it seems don't even have the basic human class or decency to post a simple clean apology, accompanied accordingly by large bundles of 50 pound notes in the post to soften the blow as a peace offering it seems. Oh well what can we do, I guess sometimes we have to just tolerate these sorts of people in life sometimes ...... sigh ;-( lol by the way just in case anyone thinks I'm being serious above I AM joking !!!!! ( well HALF joking perhaps as until I get my 50 quid I'll reserve judgment!) - however A447a the GOOD news is you can redeem yourself in beer, spirits and boys as and when I will no doubt see you somewhere in Bkk or Pattaya over Songkran and you Sir are buying !! - and if you're lucky i MIGHT even take you to the Rose and show you the secret VIP floor that you need the special code to get in to where all the "special boys are " and the area where mere mortals such as yourself would NEVER be allowed unless accompanied by VIP's such as myself or Chaatou it seems ! :-)) lol Scotty, I will expect your grovelling apology along ANY minute now as being a man of breeding and unlike some I'm sure you DO know how to apologise like a man and without equivocation or reservation ( I'll send you the address for the 50 quid also ! :-)

Looking at your new profile pic I'm surprised it wasn't more a case of arriving as the Fallen Madonna with the big bobbies !! :-)

Before we all start boycotting Apple products ( or not ) have we actually established that Apples avoidance / dislike of allowing porn etc IS in fact based on a religious view and is not just perhaps them holding more of a typical Apple view of them not liking any type of risky / open source software etc, being as that's where many of the nets virus and programme code issue problems can arise from ( they even barred Flash and that wasnt a porn thing but they just thought it was crap programming that would slow down their new products down ? ) As my understanding was that Steve Jobs wasnt particularly well known for holding any overtly religious views and anyone who got on the wrong side of him got a mouthful that would have made a priest blush ( well perhaps a very old priest as now days it seems that the average priest could out do us all in that and many other regards these days ! )

I'm sure the owner will be delighted to hear that :-) - Again, Bon appetite to you all.

Out of interest why would the ex owner have anything to say about the place ? Could it be that they of had some ongoing dispute with the Owner of Indigo perhaps ? - just as I described perhaps ? - and trust me I'm a real cynic I would certainly not just have taken one farang massage bosses opinion of neighbours place / owner as gospel truth without checking ( and witnessing it myself first hand of course) as both I and my Thai friend spoke to several of the places massage boys boy in and on and also outside of his premises who told us story after story about the guy. Also by "ex" owner of fan club do you mean the Austrailian guy with the blonde hair ? As if so I thought he was a relatively new owner ( maybe two years or so ? ) and he was certainly the owner back in December when I was there and it was he personally who told me some of the details. Also without getting into it here lets just say the fathers "straight" (cough cough) drunk son may just be the reason for some of the fathers overt homophobia when drunk "apparently" - and that didn't come from Fan massage but a totally independent bkk gay business source who would let's say be in a perfect position to know these things. "When i go to Bangkok it is where I plan to continue eating". Good for you, enjoy your meal, as I said the place looked quite good to me and I was sorry I didn't get eating there myself that night, it's not like I'm asking or suggesting anyone boycotts the place, I'm merely sharing my experience of (not) dining there and passing on what an undoubted homophobic asshole the owner absolutely IS. So assuming that you don't have my problems there ( as I'm sure 9 times out of ten you wont as I've already stated the guy tries to hide his feelings well I thin in front of his own customers and assuming you don't particularly care to whom your money goes ( and why should you as I'm sure we all fund homophobic busniness owners every day of the week without knowing - (although for me once "I" KNOW it then to me is a different matter of course and I would chose to shop elsewhere), but I wouldn't expect any one else to follow that view based solely on someone else's experience, we;ll all our own people and make our own choices in life, so I bon appetite and I hope you have a nice night.
