All of you have really let me down, I thought you all would have jumped at the opportunity.

I've told the whole comunity where we are and how much it will cost you all, but no one has had a go, duh!!!!

All of you have really let me down

You can't make people go if they don't want to!
I think some people were annoyed as to why you diddn't put the price of your xmas menue up.

As someone once said 'Ther's nowt as queer as folk'

Bill

I also think many people are watching their pockets in view of the situ here and the world wide credit crunch

I'm certainly having too. Small things all add up. The market prices have gone up, motorcycle taxi fares etc. When making comparisons based on exchange rates as a fixed income pensioner I'm now paying out more for less than I was 5 years ago

[usual suspect]

Yeah Richard-lad, I agree with you on the way the ex-pats are now having to ease-up a little on the spending.
I was with a crowd from Sports-Villa,and they all say they are staying 'up-town',around the railway much more now where at the small r/rants you can get a meal for about 70b and a big beer for the price of a small one.
Also the art of leaving 20b tips is fizzlin' out..over the course of the evening it adds up...alot of long-stayers agree on this,-sadly the girls are missing out, but thats the trend now.
Many ex-pats tell me they only come 'down-town' to Bintabaat a coupla
times per week now.
(p.s. Have you noticed that in the last 3 months the price of fuel has halved from about 43-45b/ltr to 19-21b...yet HH taxis still want 3000+ to
pick up from BKK a/pt...I am advising many to get BKK taxis that now only want 2000b fr A/pt)

Nearly all taxis run on LPG or equivalent. Cost from airport 2000-2500 as usual!

I like a quiz night and good grub is a bonus.
I think I'll pass on Tom Jones.
He was pathetic 30 years ago, wouldn't want to think of him now.
Saw him in a video with Van Morrision once. One of them had music in his bones and the other (guess who?) had none, no rhythm, no soul at all.
Elvis, though, is forever 1956 for me. After the US Army, crap.

[(buffalo) Bill]

Well johnny k, if you come down it’ll be good to meet you. You can enjoy good food, good company, a great quiz and a good laugh.

As said Elvis and Tom are here on the 25th so you won't have to meet them.

[heretostay]

if pensions etc are 30% lower due to exchange rates. so spending will be the same. and with 50% less people.

who knows

[JW]

The last quiz was a great laugh, questions were well presented and not too hard.
Grub was excellent also! Our team will be there this Friday!! Hope for a good turn out.

[(buffalo) Bill]

Thanks JW I'll have a cold one waiting

[Harry Bosch]

My partner and I will be coming to live in Hua Hin very soon and will meet you around the 23rd as we will be coming to your Christmas show with 2 other friends, so see you soon.
Are your quiz nights a regular occurrence?

No worries Bill,
I spotted Elvis in Market Village this afternoon.

[JW]

I have to redeem myself for blowing the sunday dinners last time!
Looking forward to Friday - will try one of those saveloy fellas again
