What should I buy when i go back to England?

**mad_dog** · 13-09-2006, 07:27 PM

I spend half my time in Thailand craving things which can't be had easily in the LoS... but as soon as it gets close to going back time my mind draws a blank....

What do you treat yourself to on your trips back to the motherland?

An upgrade on my flight.

**Chalk face** · 13-09-2006, 07:38 PM

Last time I was home , in May, I was enormously disappointed with the food. Everything was as bland as mashed potato. Went to Paris and that was just as bad, except it was even more outrageously priced than the UK. Maybe my palate has ajusted to Thai food. I was gagging for a pint of bitter but ended up drinking strong draught lagers because they were cold and tasted of something.

And the grass wasn't greener either.

^Men Only, Razzle, a cornish pasty, some nice cheese and a good cup of tea should cure what ails yer.

I'm going to hate myself for asking, but what's 'Razzle'.

Its not as much as you would think, and it makes the journey a lot better.
Its not really being elitist, it makes more sense to me to be comfortable if i'm gonna be stuck on a plane for half a day.

Soft Core porn for council house dwelling lorry drivers..... I brings back memories which are ... not good...

**buadhai** · 13-09-2006, 07:58 PM

I'd say a new wig and some die for the beard. Pearls are kind of out now, so how about just a simple pendant and some earrings that are a bit less dangly? Some new eyeglass frames wouldn't hurt either.

I always thought business class was approx double economy or am I massively misinformed as usual

**flash** · 13-09-2006, 08:02 PM

No not double, don't be afraid and bullshit the airlines, use your imagination, put your 2 legs in plaster or something. I have got a lot of free upgrades by turning on the charm/ sob storey at the counter.

I always buy economy and go for the upgrade at the desk.

You can spen your whole life waiting for an opportunity like this to come up, so why waste it....

It's one of the Paul Raymond variety of soft porn, available at all 24 hour garages...you can find more of the like at Paul Raymond presents sexclub.co.uk

My favourite was Club, followed by Men Only, then Mayfair, then Men's World, the Escort, I didn't really like Razzle - a lower class sort of porn with fat ugly women.

Anyway, i wonder how much money Mr Raymond has lost since hardcire porn has been freely available on the net....

Why dont you go down King's Cross and buy a brass for 2 weeks, take her down Brighton and bang her for a couple of weeks. You could get married and then build her old folks a house in the country near Hereford.

Classic post. My rule for living in Thailand is: constantly ask the question "would I do this in England"

**Spin** · 13-09-2006, 08:30 PM

^ same here, and the answer is always "no"
but i tend to do it anyway

**NickA** · 13-09-2006, 09:09 PM

^^Ah, so you are the nutter who walks around Bangkok in a woolly scarf, duffel coat and a pair of moon boots in the middle of December
