Fool. Fruit and custard. Is that the pudding?

This board has sunk to a new low when members are reduced to quoting Jeffrey Archer!

yes normal spending 2000 per day for accommodation and feeding and 2000 boys and booze.

The 2000 for boys and booze is obviously saved.

Net spending same same .

So you spent the same as you normally would, except you were isolated in your room without the boys and the bars and the booze. I think that you are flogging a dead horse in representing that as being somehow equivalent to your normal trips. Although flogging a dead horse may have been what you were doing in your room.

What I find funny is how everyone views GPS wristbands as this massive over reach, but an app on a smart phone is perfectly ok for some reason.

Perceptions are everything I guess...

I take the point, Matt, but I would sure be arsed off with paying 20,000 baht for a wristband, in addition to $1,000 for tests and insurance when I'm fully vaccinated.

On the basis that paying the hotel in Bangkok 2,000 baht per day is actually saving 2,000 baht per day because it’s not being spent on prostitutes, I’m proposing that gerefan2 deposit 2,000 baht per day (as a fortnightly lump sum) into a Kasikorn Bank account that I shall nominate for every day he’s not paying prostitutes (and therefore saving the money) while he’s in the UK. Seems fair?

Stop hallucinating Steven the alcohol and the boys will be flowing again soon.
