Les from Sunderland is now the former owner of FCUK as he sold it last week.
Apparently the lads from Brum are not now going to re-open Curries Indian Restaurant. I am told it has been placed on the market.
Devil's Den is still closed.

Soi LK Metro - September 2009 Update
Pat ceases work at the end of the month at the Irish Rovers. The bar will remain Irish-themed as will the Kilkenny across the road which is now being run by the new owner.
The Italian Restaurant next door to me is still closed but I believe it may be re-opened under the same management soon.
Curries remains closed - from memory, the blokes running it wanted to return around now for the expected high season.
The old bill have been around the Devil's Den again and it is currently not operating.
I believe Alex in the Rockhouse has added several new rooms to his existing premises.
Paul's Malone's Irish Bar and (I believe) The Haven which is run by Ray are up for grabs.
Otherwise, it's a case of same same but different!
In Metro Apartments and Bar it's also same same but we are looking at a few things which might add to our appeal. Regular guests continue to re-appear which is very pleasing. Most comments are that life in Europe or wherever is so crappy that 'I just had to get away for a break!' We are always happy to 'de-crap' anybody who needs a break! Over the next month or so we are looking forward to so doing with around about a dozen returning regulars!
Bye for now.

Lighten Up! - 101 - Male Stripper
Thanks GT.
Last night, my Red Hat friends and I went to a Ladies Night Club. One of the girls wanted to impress the rest of us, so she pulled out a $10 bill. When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the $10 bill and stuck it to his butt cheek!
Not to be outdone, another friend pulls out a $20 bill.She called the guy back, licks the $20 bill, and sticks it to his other butt cheek.
In another attempt to impress the rest of us,my third friend pulls out a $50 bill and calls the guy over, and licks the $50 bill. I was worried about the way things are going, but fortunately, she just stuck it to one of his butt cheeks again.
Seeing the way things are going, the guy races over to me! Now everyone's attention is focused on me, and the guy is egging me on to try to top the $50. My brain was churning as I reached for my wallet. What could I do?
The woman in me took over! I got out my ATM card, swiped it down his butt crack, grabbed the eighty bucks and got the hell out of there!!!

Where have they all gone?
I had a chat with a senior operations manager who works at a famous hotel here in Pattaya recently which certainly put things in perspective.
The hotel runs a weekly buffet at the weekend and needs a minimum of 100 guests to just-about break even, depending on the actual cost of the buffet. Last weekend they had a total of 14 guests! Yes, fourteen!
So, the crunch is hitting the big 'uns in a big way! Just thought you'd like to know.

Lower Flights bringing in Quality Tourists?
I know several of you check in here now and then for snippets of the latest in funtown. Well, I am pleased to report that continuing low fares are ensuring the arrival of quality tourists.
A couple of nights ago, as the English Premier League football was ending, a chap came in to enquire whether I would show two Spanish matches - which I was going to anyway. However, an amazing 3,5 hours later he had to rush down his one and only bottle of water before we locked up! Yes, Thailand continues to have amazing customers!
His contribution to my satellite channels was gratefully accepted but there will be no Spanish football for him next week. I have decided to show the nail-biting end to the Rwandan tiddly-winks championship instead. As this is scheduled for the same time as the Haitian projectile-vomiting competition, we won't have any free channels for La Liga!

Lighten Up! -100
The train was quite crowded, and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.
The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. 'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.'
She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honor! this American should be put in his place!'
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, 'Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window!

Soi LK Metro - More Changes
I suppose it's that time of the year - a bit like spring and lambs or July/August and new potatoes! (Sorry about the agricultural angle - I've just been thinking about food!) Hot on the heels of the changing of ownership of Kilkenny and Lolita's, I can now confidently state that the recent, new partner of The Irish Rovers, Dominic, has now got a new partner. Yes, Pat has sold his share to Iain (hope the spelling is right). Best wishes to all new owners. As always I continue to plod on at Metro Apartments - with your help of course!!

Kilkenny Sold! - Definite and Lolita's.
The Kilkenny has been sold to two Australian blokes. I haven't met them yet but hope I will soon.
Lolita's has also been sold to an American.
Curries has yet to re-open as has the pizzeria next door to the Metro.
There is less tumbleweed blowing around the street of Pattaya these days but still more than there should be.

Strange things - blogs!
Upon receipt of an email I've been checking and I have no idea where the links to previous post have gone. I suspect a spot of maintenance has gone wrong. Anyway, some photos repeated!
More from St. Patrick's - Repeat!! GD!
I knew I had these two willing participants somewhere. In fact, it was so much fun these lads had another party two days later!
Wad's Birthday! Photos to come.
Wad celebrated her birthday on 1st September. Everybody had a good night - as far as can be ascertained from the photos - which I will get a copy of soon! Watch this space - she looked very pretty as always.
