Let's see how many on this Board have actually been inside and eaten at Niddy's Nook.

(If Chris' business doesn't spike up big time after all this churning going on, I'll be a rotten excuse for a cheeseburger)

May 16th, 2006, 09:13
You forgot one option:

"I have never set foot in Niddy's Nook -- and never will, thanks to Chris's abuse of this space for his monotonous self-promotion".

May 16th, 2006, 09:23

I decided 'gainst it coz I have more class than you.

I only go to Pattaya about every other year and it is most likely I would never have known about or set foot in Niddy's Nook but for the continuing self-promotion (a little over the top, Chris) and the few that are having some childish orgasmic delight in knocking the place.
Well, showing how much I rely on the judgments expressed in this forum, I will definitely try the place my next time in Pattaya and make my own judgment.

May 16th, 2006, 10:57
I will be in pattaya in mid June and look forward to stopping in and having lunch at Niddy's. I applaud anyones efforts to make a success of a business in pattaya and promoting the business anyway one can. If one doesn't want to read his postings than simply ignore him. There is no need to run a fellow gay businessman down. Comments from the likes of boygeorge with his egotistical self serving views are unwarranted.

The long promotion after Chris' postings is a bit over the top. One line would be classy and smart, what we see each and everytime is too much. And I do have class mr.Smiling Smart Pants.

May 16th, 2006, 17:06
....I'll be a rotten excuse for a cheeseburger....

What I heard was, "Rotten excuse for a hot dog." :hal

And I have more class than either of you!
Unfortunately; it's all low.
But I have fun so, WTH.


PS:
Does Nan still work at Niddy's Nook?

You left out one very important option

I have eaten there once - and will never eat there again

It gets my vote

I could say the same about Le Tour d'Argent.
And before Pearl chimes in with a story about me and a Souffl├й Valtesse, it's absolutely not true!

I have never been to Niddy's restaurant but this will soon change as I arrive in Pattaya next week. For sure I will sample the cuisine not only because I believe in supporting gay businesses but mainly because anything and everything our pitiful Boygeenyus aka the Senior Village Idiot has problems with cannot be all that bad.

Boygeenyus before you say anything, I want to apologize for referring to you in my previous post. In truth I was referring to 'boygeorge. ' I hope you accept my apology and accept my offer of a drink and dinner at Niddy's.

Daxus my man . . . all you have to do is go up to the upper right hand corner of your own post and click on EDIT. Take out the name Boygeenyus and substitute BoyGeorge. No one will be the wiser if you do it quickly ... and who cares anyway.

Hi Edith. No, Nan doesn't work at "The Nook" anymore. He decided to get out of the "bar business" and now works in a laundry shop in Pattaya.

AMERICAN TEACHER SAID Hi Edith. No, Nan doesn't work at "The Nook" anymore. He decided to get out of the "bar business" and now works in a laundry shop in Pattaya.

The words Rats and Sinking Ships spring to mind

Come to think of it the rats are more likely to eat somewhere else - where the food is more palitable.

Cuisine?


(la) cuisine: Kitchen, cooking.
Le cousin; la Cousine: cousin.

Which would you prefer (To eat)? If the latter; may I suggest my youngest cousin, Johnny.
Older cousin, Maudie, is a bit old and stringy but breathlessly awaiting your reply even as she sews lace on her red flannel snuggies: for her torso: she never could master French; Greek being more her forte.
Johnny excels at both...can even do both at once....with a bit of Thai thrown in...just for the hell of it.

I will be back in Pattaya in September and have decided to give it a try, there will be about 6 of us.

I mean WTF is wrong with some of you guys. You sound like Irish Begrudgers!

May 26th, 2006, 21:40
6 pissed Irish backpackers.
This was THE WORDS spoken to me by 3 drunk Irish backpackers last week.Sory if you dont understand it,its written in Irish.

"Leave my met alone you daft coont." translates I think into "Leave my mate alone you ,??????dickhead /idiot ??? cunt.

"you fookin surly overweight fookin nazi"

"fookin gestapo daft coonts"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[We hear a loud cry in the house and the door opens.]

[Enter Albertine in nightgown and curlers, followed by Edouard, also in a nightgown and curlers.]

ALBERTINE Stupit eejit! Ye scared the wits oot ae me! Ah thoat it wis ma guid-sister comin intae

the room!

EDOUARD Ah couldnae control masel. Ah'd been plannin it fur weeks. ... Ah boarried wan ae her

auld nightgoons, pit wan or two curlers in ma hair, an auld hairnet oan tap, an abracadabra, Boab's

yir uncle! Anither amazin impersonation bi the multi-talented Edouard! Ah jist knew ye'd be fooled!

ALBERTINE Wuv only been here two hoors an ah've been feart oot ma skin a dizzen time awready!

Ma nerves ur aw shot tae hell!

EDOUARD Aw, come oan, Bartine, wur oan oor hoalidays ... Wuv goat tae hiv a laugh ...

ALBERTINE Youse wans ur oan hoaliday, no me! Mebbe ah wid like tae hiv a laugh, but no while

you two keep makin a full ae me. D'ye think ah should staun in front ma bedroom mirror an laugh at

masel? Ah've nae practical jokes planned like you. Ma idea ae bein oan hoaliday isnae tae dress up

like ma guid-sister so's tae pit the fear ae daith in folk, so ah doot ye'll no fund me much fun ... Ach,

away an cheynge-oot ae that! Ye look like ye wur saft in the heid! Ah could actually believe it wis

somedy else ah wis speakin tae!

[Silence.]

EDOUARD Mebbe it'd be simpler if ye wur tae see me as her ...

ALBERTINE An whit's that supposed tae mean?

EDOUARD It means jist whit it says, nothin mair ... When we talk tae each ither she's aye thair ...

We aye make shair thit she's thair ... It's as if it's aye tae her wir talkin ... we dinnae even look at wan

anither when wur talkin, we look at her, always at her ... Look at noo ... Wuv even broat her oan

hoaliday wi us ... It's as if wur feart tae talk tae wan anither eye-tae-eye.

ALBERTINE Mebbe it's cause wuv nuhin tae say tae wan anither.

EDOUARD Ah cannae believe thit a brither an a sister his nothin tae saytae wan anither ...

ALBERTINE It's easy when wan ae thum's no normal!

EDOUARD Right enough, ah'd furgoatten you wurnae normal ...

ALBERTINE It's you ah wis referrin tae

EDOUARD Och, ye think ah didnae know it! Yir sense ae humour nivir fails tae amaze me, Bartine!

ALBERTINE If our sister-in-law hidnae've come wi us, ah'd've steyed at hame. In fact, if ye waant tae

know the truth, the thoat ae spendin a week wi you giees me the heebie-jeebies ...

[She goes into the house.]

EDOUARD Ah!m gaunnae end up skelpin her wan.

[The Fat Woman comes out quietly.]

THE FAT WOMAN Ah feel like a spy. Ah wis staunin at the back ae the door ...

EDOUARD She didnae see ye oan her wey back in, did she?

THE FAT WOMAN She's hid enough frights fur wan day.

EDOUARD We're aff tae a bad start, eh?

THE FAT WOMAN It disnae look very proamisin.

EDOUARD Whey dae ah aye rub her up the wrang wey? Ah nivir know how tae haunnle her ...

THE FAT WOMAN Naebdy knows how tae dae that ...

EDOUARD You've the knack, though. How d'ye manage it?

THE FAT WOMAN Wuv lived in the same house fur years. Ah suppose ah've learnt when it's beat

jist tae lea her alane ... Ah've learned no tae talk too much tae her ...

[Silence.]

[The Fat Woman laughs quietly.]

EDOUARD What're ye laughin at?

THE FAT WOMAN Ye look the spit ae me, right enough ...

[He goes up to her.]

EDOUARD At the nixt Hallowe'en pairty at the French Casino, you an me should go dressed up as

twin sisters ...

THE FAT WOMAN Or as twin brithers ...

EDOUARD Naw, twin sisters ... It's no much fun dressin up as a man ...

THE FAT WOMAN It could be fun fur me ...

EDOUARD Ah've jist thoat ae an idea! We git dressed up as twins, but you as a fellie an me as a

lassie! Kin ye imagine the heids thit wid turn!

THE FAT WOMAN Ach, it's your heid thit's turnt! Ah've nivir set fit in that French Casino afore,

Edouard, an ah'll no dae it jist fur tae lit youhiv a bit fun ... an especially no dressed up as a man fur a

Hallowe'en pairty!

[Albertine comes out, furious.]

ALBERTINE That's right, go ootside in the dark an talk about me behind ma back! (She stops.) Help-

ma-God, which ae ye is which? ... It's thatdark goatten ah cannae tell yese apairt ... Ach, yir sick in

the heid, baith the two ae yese ...

[She goes into the house.]

EDOUARD Ah think we'd better go intae the house ...

THE FAT WOMAN The mosquitoes arenae oot yit, ah'm gaunnae sit oan the verandah.

EDOVARD Yir right. It's owre early fur bed yit. Ah'll go'n see if ah kin coax Bartine tae jine us.

THE FAT WOMAN Light mair lamps when yir in ... This house is sad-like right enough when thurs

nae lights in it at night-time ...

EDOUARD (In a falsetto voice.) Bartine? It's me, your sister-in-law back again ... You and me's

going to have a wee chinwag ... You know how much you enjoy that!

[Silence.]

[Josaphat lights his pipe.]

THE FAT WOMAN Ye kin smell the water fae up here.

MATHIEU It's funny, isn't it? -- I can't smell the trees and the water anymore. When we arrived it

was fresh and strong. Two hours later it's gone. It makes you want to go away so's you can come back

and smell it again.

[The Fat Woman and Mathieu take a deep breath.]

JOSAPHAT The smell ae ma pipe tobaccie'll bring Victoire oot ... (He turns towards the house.) Ah

need tae hiv a talk wi you.

THE FAT WOMAN (Rather loud.) Are yeas comin oot?

MATHIEU It gives me a funny feeling listening to you tell your family's stories ...

[The door opens. Sebastien comes out, interrupting his father.]

SEBASTIEN Half-past nine! I've put the television off on the dot as you told me to.

MATHIEU Good boy. Have you brushed your teeth?

SEBASTIEN I only said I'd put the telly off, I didn't say I was ready to go to bed!

MATHIEU Come on now, it's time you were away ...

SEBASTIEN But it's the holidays ...

MATHIEU Your eyes are hanging out ... When they go starey like that, it's time you were in your bed.

SEBASTIEN Och, dad ... Don't, you're tickling me!

MATHIEU Nothing of the kind! You're just wanting me to tickle you so', you can get all worked up

then turn round and say it's my fault you can't sleep ... oh, ye, ... I know you ... Anything to get a few

more minutes ...

JEAN-MARC Let him bide a Wee

MATHIEU My, my! ... "Bide a wee"! ... It's a long time since I've heard that one ...

JEAN-MARC I said it unconsciously ... It must be this house starting to exert its influence on me ...

MATHIEU Aye, man, soon ye'll start lapsin intae the vernacular...

JEAN-MARC My grandparents used expressions like that. They spoke very broadly though I didn't

appreciate it at the time.

SEBASTIEN Guess what I was just thinking about?

MATHIEU Don't butt in on grown-ups like that, Sebastien. If I've told you once ...

SEBASTIEN I didn't butt in on him ... You'd finished, hadn't you, Jean-Marc?

JEAN-MARC I had indeed. It's you who butted in on him, Mathieu ...

MATHIEU Thanks a bunch ...

JEAN-MARC What were you starting to say, Sebastien?

SEBASTIEN I had a really good idea when I was playing with my Nintendo ... I'm going to invent

one ...

JEAN-MARC Invent a what?

SEBASTIEN A video game! I know inside-out all the ones I have, and the ones we rent are boring, so

I'd like to make up one of my own. I'm fed up with princes, princesses and labyrinths ... I would set

mine in a school ... in the playground ... There would be a wee bully who was always hitting the other

kids, and a wee hero who would get revenge for his pal, ... And to beat the bully, the hero would have

to pass through all kinds. of tests ... And at the end ...

MATHIEU (Laughing.) A cracking idea! You can get stuck in tomorrow morning. we've plenty of

stuff with us for drawing ...

JEAN-MARC I'll help you ...

SEBASTIEN No, I don't need any help ... Maybe just with the language when I come to start writing

the manual to explain how it works ...

[Jean-Marc and Mathieu laugh discreetly.]

MATHIEU Okay, that's enough for tonight. We'll discus it again in the morning. Now it's time for

kisses, pyjamas and sleep, but no tickling, right? ... Do you want me to tuck you in?

SEBASTIEN I'm not a baby!

[They kiss him and he goes in.]

SEBASTIEN See you tomorrow.]

MATHIEU and JEAN-MARC See you tomorrow ..

JOSAPHAT Ah love that bairn sae much ...

[Silence.]

MATHIEU I love that child so much, Jean-Marc ...

JOSAPHAT ... mair nor life itsel.

[Mathieu gets up, goes down the verandah steps.]

MATHIEU ... more than life itself.

JOSAPHAT Ah hiv tae hud masel ...

MATHIEU I have to hold myself back from hugging him hard to me! (He smiles.)

JOSAPHAT ... hud masel back frae huggin him hard tae me!

MATHIEU My child!

JOSAPHAT Ma bairn!

MATHIEU When I listen to you tell your family stories about your uncles, your aunts and your

cousins and everything ... all that unhappiness ... I think about Sebastien and how, like me, he doesn't

have a family. He's my only child ... and obviously I won't be having another one, Jean-Marc, eh? I

get worried that he'll come to feel all alone with me, just as I felt all alone with my mother ... When I

think back on my childhood ... I always see my mum leaning across the kitchen table and saying,

"Finish your glass of milk ..."

JOSAPHAT Ah yaised tae dae it when he wis wee ...

MATHIEU "Finish your glass of milk, it helps you to grow ..."

JOSAPHAT Ah'd bite him a' owre... Ah'd bite his dowp when ah wis cheyngin him oot his claes, bite

his feet when ah wis waashin thum, blaw pumpin noaises oan his belly wi ma month ...

MATHIEU It's ten past eight in the morning... Time to leave for school, but I don't feel like going ...

My mum has left before me ... She had to take three buses to get to her work ...

JOSAPHAT It wis aye me he waantit tae look eftir him ...

MATHIEU My mum was a hero, Jean-Marc, but nobody ever knew it! (Silence.) We lived all alone,

the two of us, for years. She wore herself out so's I could have a decent upbringing and I ...

JOSAPHAT ...Thur wis only the wan person maittered in the haill wide warld and that

wis his Uncle Josaphat ...

MATHIEU When I was a boy my favourite dream was that I'd have a huge family ... not unlike yours,

in fact. I didn't know that my mother had thrown my father out and had chosen to bring me up on her-

own in a tiny wee flat ... I'd invent brothers and sisters for myself and multiply the rooms in our house

... I invented a father for myself, too ... A loving father who lived with us ... A magic prince that I

could love ... in the same way that I love my own son today ... to the extent that I could hug him to

death ...

JOSAPHAT Ah'd like tae be aboot him as ah've aye been ... Tae tak him fishin oan Lac Simon in the

simmer-time ... Tae tak him huntin fur the deer in the back-end ... jist fur the fun ae the hunt, fur he's

like me an cannae abide killin beasts ... Tae tell him stories athoot end about canoes made oot ae

birchbark, aboot bogles an werewolves flitterin aroon the house at nicht ... No tae feart him -- fur ah

ken ma stories dinnae -- but tae send him tae dream. Ah'd like tae be around tae watch him grouwin

up ... watch him grouwin till he reached manhood ... an then ah wid finally tell him ...

MATHIEU Everybody in my invented family had a name. I talked with them, argued and fought with

them until we fell into each other's arms crying. For me they were really alive. I drove my mother

demented with what she called my daft notions ... But I needed that family to make my life bearable.

There's nothing, worse than being an only child Jean-Marc.

[He turns towards the house.]

JOSAPHAT Ah wid finally tell him!

MATHIEU When I met you and discovered that my supposedly daft notions were real for you, I was

annoyed at you, Jean-Marc. You'd lived my dream ... You could relate family memories going back to

the start of the century ... But me, I'd nothing to tell you about my family ... My family has no

memories ... no history ... There was no house among the stars in my life. And I've only got one

child.Same as my mother. Not that I didn't want more, at one time. Louise and I were keen to have

more than one ... we were going to repopulate Quebec we said! ... Can you believe that?! It's a lifetime

away now ... Just like my childhood ... and my marriage. Yet, for the first time in my life, I'm really

happy. Funny, isn't it? At the same time, though, I'm afraid ... Afraid for Sebastien that, like me, he'll

maybe never experience happiness before he reaches thirty ... and all because, like my mother, I won't

have given him a family. Nor a past. I feel guilty about being happy at his expense.

JEAN-MARC But he has a family ... He's got his mother, his step-father, his half-sister ...

MATHIEU (Very loud.) If you could only understand how jealous I am of them, Jean-Marc! When

Sebastien eats his breakfast in the morning, there's a father beside him, and a little sister ... but I'm

not there. I want him to experience all of that with me ... Me!

[They both go back up on to the verandah, Mathieu close to Jean-Marc, Josaphat on the opposite side from where Jean-Marc and Mathieu stand.]

JOSAPHAT Ach, it serves nae purpose rakin owre aw thon again ... Wur gauntae flit tae the city ...

He'll fund a real faither tae him thair ... Wan thit'll bring him up the wey a bairn should be brocht up

... In a faimly ... Livin a normal life ... (Silence) Ah kin gar the mune rise each nicht, but ah've no the

pooer tae keep ma bairn!

MATHIEU I'm sorry, Jean-Marc. I'm okay now.

JEAN-MARC Would you prefer if we went in?

MATHIEU No, no, it's fine here. I couldn't sleep, in any case.

[Josaphat begins to howl like a wolf. Victoire comes out.]

MATHIEU Did you hear that? Don't tell me there are even wolves around here?

JEAN-MARC I've never heard that here before ...

VICTOIRE Wheesht, Josaphat! Ye'll hae the wee yin awake!

JOSAPHAT Ah'll no ...Ah'm helpin him tae dream ...

MATHIEU See, I would like to be everything to him ... his father, his mother, his brothers, his sisters,

all rolled into one ... I would like his life to be filled with me. Ve don't spend enough time together ...

And even when we are together, all I seem to manage to do is end up being hard on him. Instead of

smothering him with love, showering him with affection, more often than not I bottle up my feelings

and I turn irritable and tell him off for petty things. I'm always stopping him doing things... always

going off the deep-end at him ... Yet I want so much to hear him laughing! Sometimes he's in his

room, watching tv or playing with that damn Nintendo of his ... he's concentrating and everything's

silent ... then all of a sudden his laughter bursts out and fills the house ...It's so ... so pure! It's a

laughter without concerns, without questions ...It's laughter for the sheer pleasure of laughing! I can't

explain to you what that does to ne, Jean-Marc ... If I didn't hold back my feelings all the time, I'd go

into his room and tell him, " Go on, go on, Sebastien! Don't stop! Laugh! Never stop! Laugh! Laugh!

It helps me to go on living!' But I can never come out and say it. I love him so much, yet still I hold

my feelings in. I always do that ... Always hold back with him ... What makes us behave like that, eh?

JOSAPHAT Come here aside me fur a wee while ...

VICTOIRE The wee yin's no asleep yit ...

JOSAPHAT Wull no mak ony noaise ... Ah'm only waantin ye tae keep me compny .

[Victoire approaches Josaphat]

[He takes her by the waist. She leans against him.]

JOSAPHAT Oan a braw nicht lik this, we should be lookin intae wan anither's een...

VICTOIRE (Desperately.) Oan a braw nicht lik this in the city, Josaphat, whit dae fowk dae? Gowp at

the factory lums?

THE FAT WOMAN Wur queer-made, right enough. Back in the city ah vernear brek ma neck iviry

summer's night tryin tae see the stars fae ma balcony. At the back ae twelve a'cloack, wance awbdy's

pit thir lights oot, it gits a loat darker an ah kin better see thum ... Ah try an coont thum ... try an fund

the Big Bear an the Little Bear, jist as ma Uncle Josaphat learned me tae dae afore ah mairrit Gabriel

... An when ah fund thum, ah git aw excited ... Sometimes ah go doon intae the street, an sometimes

even staund in the middle-ae-the-road, jist so's ad kin git a better look ... Ah tell masel thit, jist as

ah'm lookin up at thaim, they're lookin doon at me, staunin atween the two raws ae trees ... An the

thoat ae that makes me happy. But when ah come here ... Wance the sun's went down, ah'm feart tae

look higher thin the tap ae the mountains ... Though thurs nuthin tae see doon ablow ... Jist a black

hole wi the wee yellie ribbon ae road 'at leads tae Duhamel. The real beauty tae be seen lies higher,

but ah'm feart ae it ... Thurs jist too much ae it ... The sky's full ae stars here ... It makes me feel feart.

Back in the city ye kin tell yirsel thur jist wee golden spangles in a black velvet curtain ... or yir too

busy wi ither things tae lit the thoat ae it play oan ye ... Ye see it's beautiful but ye've plenty enough

oan yir plate tae occupy ye, wi three meals tae fund fur the nixt day, the waashin, the ironin ... A

wumman staunin in the middle ae Fabre Street coontin the stars an thinkin at the same time 'boot the

moarn's meals ... That's whit ah'm like in the city ... But here ... (She raises her eyes suddenly to the

sky, almost involuntarily.) Ach! Ah cannae stand it! Thurs that many! Thur fawin in oan tap ae me,

pressin me doon! An yit thur that beautiful! It's no like in the city where thurs jist the oadd we golden

spangle tae be seen ... Here thurs mullions upoan mullions ... The sky's sae thrang wi thum ah

couldnae even begin tae look fur the wans ah kin name ... Fae wan end tae the ither the sky's thick wi

stars ... An they seem that near ah feel thit if ah wis tae lift up ma airms ... an wis tae gie a wee push

wi ma haunds ... aw ae that wid start tae birl ... Whit daft thoats, eh? As if ah hid the pooer tae make

the world turn! ... How dae the folk thit stey here, thit see oot thur haill lifes here, how dae they no

dee ae fear, livin unner a sky like that? Dae they come no tae notice it, jist as us folk livin in the city

come no tae notice the noaise? (She stretches her neck a little more.) Whey ur thur sae many? Whey

kin it no be like when we wuz wee an thoat the world wis simple? Aw thon up thairs too complicated.

Whit's the peynt ae aw that complication? Whit's it fur? What meanin's ma life in relation tae aw

that? Aw that cannae be lookin doon jist at me!

JOSAPHAT If we stey oot here till the wee sma' hoors ...

VICTOIRE Aye, aye, aye, ah ken it ... If we bide here till the wee sma' hoors, wull see the big comet

... Halley's Comet.

JOSAPHAT Hiv ye nae appreciation ae whit it means? Eftir the nicht, ye'll no see it again fur

seeventy-five year! Ye'll be weel owre a hunner year aul afore ye'll kin see it again ... Ye'll be kickin

yirsel an sayin, "Aw, if only ah'd steyed up tae watch it a' thae year ago ..."

[She looks at him.]

VICTOIRE Thur're mair important things in ma life jist the noo, Josaphat, thin comets ...

[The Fat Woman stands up, goes down the steps, advances, a few paces, and stops.]

THE FAT WOMAN Staunin here ah'm no the same me as in the city. Thair, ah feels if the sky isnae

real ... but here, ah feel, as if it's me isnae real. (She raises her arms to the sky.) What's the peynt ae

ma existence when thurs aw thon up there? Is it jist tae bring up a faimly? Dae ah exist jist tae raise

weans?

[Edouard and Albertine bring chairs out of the house.]

ALBERTINE Ah've tellt ye ... Ah'm no speakin tae ye till ye cheynge oot ae thae claes!

EDOUARD Ah've made a promise tae masel no tae cheynge oot thum till ah've seen ye laugh!

ALBERTINE Ye'll be like that the rest yir days then!

THE FAT WOMAN What dae they two exist fur? Wid ye jist look at thum ...

ALBERTINE You tell him it's stupit him steyin dressed up like that!

THE FAT WOMAN Ye hardly notice in the dark ...

ALBERTINE Nothin ae the kind! That light-coloured nightgoon ae his is shinin in the dark. In fac',

the two ae ye are blindin me wi yir fancy nightgoons. Some sight the pair ae yese make!

THE FAT WOMAN Ye should lift yir eyes a bit higher ...

ALBERTINE Eh?

THE FAT WOMAN Look up at the sky ... What's oor lifes compared wi that?! ... Dis that no cheynge

the wey ye look at things?

Albertine raises her head for a moment.

ALBERTINE My God, it's hoatchin wi stars! Even mair thin last night. (To Edouard.) Don't you pit

yir chair sae close tae mines ...

EDOUARD D'ye no like ma perfume?

ALBERTINE Ye dinnae pit perfume oan when yir gaun tae yir bed!

[Edouard and the Fat Woman look at each other, discouraged.]

EDOUARD Tryin tae make that laugh is like tryin tae make the Laughin Policeman at the shows

stoap laughin ...

THE FAT WOMAN At least aw ye hiv tae dae is plug in the Laughin Policeman an he's away ...

EDOUARD (Lifting his sister's skirt.) Is yir plug oot, Bartine?

ALBERTINE You take yir hauns aff me!

EDOUARD Fur aw thur is tae see ...

ALBERTINE It's no as if it wid interest the likes ae you, anywey, so don't

play the smart alec!

EDOUARD That's the second time you've made a remark aboot that the night .

I will be in pattaya in mid June and look forward to stopping in and having lunch at Niddy's. I applaud anyones efforts to make a success of a business in pattaya and promoting the business anyway one can. If one doesn't want to read his postings than simply ignore him. There is no need to run a fellow gay businessman down. Comments from the likes of boygeorge with his egotistical self serving views are unwarranted.

Well stated...

This is another reason why the board is so entertaining - People stare at me at Starbucks as I sit looking at posts like these and chuckle away. Thanks Thaiquila and Balziel :)
