    First time I've ever even mentioned it Rajid, and that was only because your best mate and fellow brittle fuckwitt brings up how *superior* your class are
    look pal, it's not for me to answer for s.a., but i think you misunderstand him.

    its not at all about superiority, i think its more about your increasingly obvious inferiority.

    who else would boast about travelling business class when someone else is paying for their ticket.

    when you pay for your ticket yourself then you can consider yourself as having arrived

    Not in it to defend Headworx, but ...

    Most business class is just a tax write off businesses. That's why it exists. It's not all just uppity pseudo high rollers , who are dumb enough to over pay for a flight. It depends on the flight but some business class tickets are just a bad return on your money

    The last time I willingly participated in Songkran mayhem was in Soi Nana 20 years ago along with about 10 guys that drank in Jools Bar.

    Since I moved to Pattaya I avoid certain areas for 7 days so as not to get a drenching normally with dirty water.

    I fully support the traditional Songkran ceremony but fucking hate the other shit.

Disappointing if you are used to the water/flour/silly stuff though as this is rarely seen our way. Fantastic for me to see the kids I looked after grown up and having fun...It 's not going to happen this year, they're waiting for things to settle down and to celebrate the end of Covid...
    Ha ha! I knew I'd find a poster somewhere on the thread talking about the topic at hand eventually.

    However, I'm surprised to hear that few return to the village every year as Bangkok was always really quiet at Songkran with the mass exoduses taking place from Mo Chit etc.

    How come there's no water up your way?

    I'm the opposite LT. I've been to Koh Chang, Pattaya, Bangkok and Oop Norf for it and I enjoyed myself each time for a day or two; people were happy, there were lots of tits about (the mammary ones) and a good time was had by all.

    The only time it ever pissed me off was in Pattaya on what seemed like the 37th day of having water thrown at me. Alright, enough's enough now. Fuck off, eh?

    I don't think I went into Jools again after Big Dave sold it.

    The Songkran at Jools was pretty crazy.

    Well, the only difference i could tell is that you got wet on the outside as well as the inside. Funking bell ringing was a killer, especially if it started at 2pm on a friday and i hadn't got a couple of potato croquettes down me

    I cannot remember the number of times I was big glassed in Jools.

    As a matter of fact I had a beer with Kim Fletcher today and he was the guy who started Jools 30 years ago.
