Re: Your top 3 best ever live performances

My top 3 live gigs were: 1. Rory Gallagher's last unplugged concert at Cork Regional Technical College in 1993 - very poignant and emotional; 2.

Re: St Patrick's day menu in Hua Hin

[/quote] Pretty sure it was the British from where "Corned Beef" originated - salted/cured beef, so a bit of a strange one that "Corned Beef and Cabbage" really is classed as an Irish dish for St Patrick's Day (and by the way, he was Welsh.... :duck: :neener: ). Sorry I'm zero he...

Re: British food items delivered nationally

They've been around a long time now - between Phala Beach and the main road through Ban Chang - remember them from the few months we spent in Phala in 2018/19 just before covid - the quality was always good - used to have good pies as well as far as I remember

Re: Baked Beans

... but I added some tomato puree and seasoning to the sauce ... I'm not sure that's allowed... :tsk: But of course it is :wink: When I moved to Germany to work in the late 70's, there was no such thing as baked beans - so I bought tins of white beans and concoted my own sauce - not rocket science ...

Re: Cataract Operation at Hua Hin Hospital

I had lens implant surgery at Rutnin around 12 years ago following extensive tests and consultation. The service, treatment and aftercare was second to none. They even manufactured contact lenses for me to mimic the result that would be achieved following surgery. I wore them for 2 weeks and was ver...

I was using a normal mouse on top of a standard desk. The solution was 2-fold: 1. I bought an upright ergonomic mouse so tha...

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

The biggest problem I've had is not being able to use Google Pay when I'm in Spain, for example, apparently because my phone purchased here (Redmi Note 11) doesn't have NFC capability !?
