Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Agreed. The other downside of overstaying is if you get stopped by the police, for whatever reason, without a valid visa, it is likely to be a trip to the cells, rather than an overstay fine.

By shooing he means shooting. Wouldn't want a few deaths outside to come between LMTU and a night "in full flow".

Well if a reviewer can praise the atmosphere of a restaurant that isn't open yet.......... Enjoy your meals gentlemen, I could feel your glands salivating from here. For the best Angus beef, shouldn't the cattle be grazing on sumptious Scottish grass?

Is this Earwig or Monty or LMTU or Bigboy4u or one of the others? Anyway, just try speaking the quoted sentence without taking a breath. First Prize goes to anyone who succeeds without inhaling further. What do you think first prize should be?

I agree with the comments on the absence of decor, unless you count "crack house" as a design, which was accompanied by a strong smell of urine and dirty glasses. The boys were no great shakes, and it went on my "Not to Bother Visiting Again" list.

You mean there IS a Hitler's Deli in Pattaya too? Or is irony just way over your head?

I prefer to eat at Hitler's Deli! God isn't Pattaya the pits of taste. If anywhere deserved the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, this is surely the place.

I don't have any sympathy for Papa David and his criticisms of Niddy's, a place of which I have no knowledge except for the comments on message boards. Gaybutton has accused Papa David of hijacking a third thread, however I would say that this thread has been hijacked by one person posting under three separate names LMTU/Monty/earwig. Despite LMTU's assertion that it was just an accident that he, in error, took over a computer on which Monty had previously been signed in, this seems extremely unlikely, not least because Monty had never posted on this forum before that night, and all the posts under his name on that night bear LMTU's trademark. I also understand that Monty wasn't even in Pattaya that night, so the likelihood of LMTU's explanation is even more remote. That leaves us with two possibilities, either deliberate mischief making, or these two posters, LMTU and Monty, are one person posting under the same name. Now where does the third face, of Earwig, fit in? You had better ask Monty/LMTU. I would have thought that this mischief making should be of far greater concern to any moderator than one poster obsessing over Niddy's. Given what I have been told of the history of the hydra wars on another forum, and the possibility of a moderator's connivance in that, I think it is in Gaybutton's interest to ensure that that mud could not be thrown here. Instead Gaybutton seems to be more concerned with Papa David, who simply gives every appearance of a professional moaner, as opposed to a deliberate mischief maker.

They actual have a restaurant in Pattaya named after the leader of the most genocidal regime in recent history? I am not talking about Sammy!

Exactly! That is what every forum needs to be a succes, a thread like this. Keeps the punters coming back for more.

No comment LMTU? How uncharacteristic!

Is this Monty or LMTU posting? We had a problem with this before didn't we? If I recall it was claimed that Monty had such bad sight that LMTU had to type for him! But this doesn't seem to be the case in "Monty's" posts on this occasion. "Monty" has never posted here before but suddenly he posts in four or five threads, and in each instance he appears to be posting as and continuing comments made by LMTU earlier in the thread, and indeed answering questions directed to LMTU. Explanations please, before anyone starts ranting about multiple posting/Moderators complicity etc.!

WHOOPS!! Was it Monty writing under LMTU's name originally, in saying that Niddy's wasn't open at 3pm, or LMTU writing under Monty's name repeating that!!! Either way it makes much more sense for a fellow restauranteur to be constantly putting down a competitor, as "LMTU" has been doing to Niddy's Nook, than for Joe Public. Now does Papa David, the other regular complainer, have a restaurant also?

Well I guess that if you don't know Thai people who rise before 3pm, then the only Thais you know are those who work at night.

I know that you are an advocate of advocates, but I don't think that you need to try this hard to find work for them! Sadly Mickey Spillane died recently too.

Fascinating. And the relevance to Gay Thailand, or even just Thailand?

So the guy is wandering around Pattaya with a loaded pistol and a sub machine gun and large amounts of drugs! What a quiet suburban backwater you all live in. But I would guess that the policeman that the drugs dealer called at Banglamung was the dealer's protector.

Well that's cheerful! Perhaps the Thais arent so bad after all!

If you want to fan the flames of your critics go back through all the old threads, and find one on which the last post was several days ago, like this one, and post an incendiary response, even though you really have nothing to add to the topic, but just fancied some point scoring!

Thank you for confirming that LMTU posts under multiple monikers.

And which barstool expert gave you this valuable assurance? Such an extraordinary case would surely have been reported in the press. Details please.

Because if you have to consult a lawyer before you take every step in life, and abide by his his self protective advice on every occasion, then you will have no life.

As ever such loyalty to their allies. In this time of trouble avoid associating with our closest(only?) allies at all cost in the cause of self interest.

These exchange rates are more a symbol of the weakness of the dollar, than the strength of the baht. Over the same period as the graph, for example, sterling has appreciated against the baht by 10%.
