There'll be no funny hats or streamers or balloons. To make it simple, I will wear a red London 2012 Olympics polo shirt, bought for me in Pattaya by my friend from the money I gave him to buy trainers, jeans or whatever it was.

Ok, so just to recap.
Your birthday party will take place on January 9 at the Green Chair bar, starting at 5:30 pm, and you'll be buying everyone their first drink.
Why don't you ask the owner to put up a simple sign outside the bar stating you're having a party there? It may be of help for those unfamiliar with Sunee.
Wouldn't a sign like "Joe's Party Here" just result in a gaggle of old codgers and a hoarde of prostitutes descending on the place, all claiming to know "Joe" and scoffing all the meatloaf and Babycham?
Sounds like a recipe for a good old punch up.

"a hoarde of prostitutes"?
Yes, please!
As for the "old codgers" Joe has a cunning plan to weed put the freeloaders - they have to tell him their handle on this board.
Unfortunately, I won't be in attendance as I'll be elsewhere overseas.
I've never eaten meatloaf, never heard of babycham and never been involved in a punch up.
I'm more than willing to forgo those!
Hope the cunning weeding out plan works but it may not;
This forum had 1000's of regular 'lay' visitors and I suspect that the handles are well known.
I fear more than one Arsenal or more than one Scottish-Guy etc might turn up and how is Joe to
tell the impersonators from the real?
There'll be no signs going up. I said I would wear a red polo shirt, If you can't find me, I probably don't want you at my party.
Btw my eta in Pattaya is 5pm, hence the 5.30 time mentioned. However, this might be pushed back - flight delay, heavy traffic etc. Maybe best to aim for 6 - 7 if you're coming;

True, farangrumak. Although the Scottish accent would be quite a challenge for most!
And if anyone turns up claiming to be Arsenal he should probably take some Werthers originals as a peace offering less he be attacked by 'the codgers' wielding their walking frames and rubber handled meatloaf spoons.
If someone turns up claiming to be arsenal, they'll get a belt of my crozier.
