From the cartoon series The Inspector which was part of The Pink Panther Show, when Sergeant Deux-Deux was talking to The Inspector, he always said the Spanish "Si", to which The Inspector always retaliated with, "Don't say Si, say Qui".

Si.

I'm quite sure The Sûreté is on the case, and dusting off their finest Chief Inspector to investigate with comic aplomb.

Can't find the actual quote, but asked in an interview whether he should be called a dictator, he replied his style was that of a patriarch, but with a very strong hand. Did meet him in early '66. Was collecting golf balls while my father was practicing walking the course early evening, as the Singapore golf course was a short distance from our house. LKY was doing something similar, but with a couple of minders in tow. My dad suggested I approach the man to see if he wanted to buy any of the balls I'd collected. Adopting my best 'Artful Dodger persona, approached and asked if he want to buy and golf balls. Ever the diplomat, he declined as I didn't have his type. The minders weren't best pleased. Only when I got home was I told who the person was.

And there's me thinking you were with Orville and Wilbur at the launch of The Wright Flyer.

Remember in February 1965 the Strolling Gnones were in town to play a couple of gigs. They were guests of the Tanglin Club, when they walked in, everyone stopped to stare, as no one had seen people with long hair before.

Yep, Zak from Glasgow (The Best Bar) still in town, spoke to him last Friday.

Sounds like that famous Nigerian Prince is in town, send me 200 THB for taxi fare as I only have 2 Billion in crisp 1000 THB notes I want to share with you.

One of the budget rooms I see, no gold faucets!

Not heard that expression in years, my mum use to use it, then again she could speak fluent German.

When it comes to Scotland and sewage, they don't have a good reputation. Currently Scotland is only serviced by the monopolistic utility company, Scottish Water. Interestingly enough, the Scottish Parliament has only mandated that Scottish Water need only report on 4% of it's own infrastructure. Unlike England which has 100% reporting. From a recent independent report by Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), which reported on 6.7% of the Scottish network, they concluded there were 23,498 spills over 208,377 hours for 2024. Which when extrapolated over the whole network equates to 350,716 spills over 3,110,104 hours. Given that the 2024 Scottish population was 5,546,900, this gives a discharge figure of 6323 hours per 100k of population. Compare that to England, which had 3.6m hours and 445k spills with a perceived population of 56.6m, then this equates to 787 discharge hours per 100k of population. A big difference! Agree, all figures are disgusting, but Donald's little problem (if it exists) and the reporting of which, sounds more like selective journalism than putting it into context within the bigger picture. As to downsizing his investment, this was in the main, due to hostile local objection. His priority was the course, which happened, the rest in investment was Aberdeenshire's loss.

Here's Jim from Singapore recent video from a couple of months ago for reference. My FlightRadar app had him staying at The Pullman on SiLom Road midweek!

It's all the business meetings with commercial property agents and owners selling their bars in and around Jomtien.

I find it's a useful tool to cross reference against Grindr, clarity of their name, plus alternative photos.

Would also suggest ThaiFriendly.
