the hog Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I have not posted much and will not be posting much. I am relocating to Thailand in February, probably permanently. If I go to Bangkok I may try to make the Thai national team, but this is unlikely as I will probably live in the provinces. No doubt Cherdano will be happy as he cannot stand reality and truthfulness in posts and appears to suffer fools gladly, which I do not. Bye all, apart from random periodic postings.

han Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Just a couple of weeks ago I was looking at an old thread regarding opening 1NT with a 5-card major. The only response I remember is Ron's, something like: "I see a growing trend to treat balanced hands as balanced hands". I do hope you keep posting Ron. I have always appreciated your style of saying things exactly like you think they are, even in those threads where I thought that you were completely nuts.

hrothgar Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hey there... Gonna miss you a lot: For what its worth, I think Northern Thailand up arround Ching Mai is MUCH nicer than either Phuket or Bangkok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted November 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Bye, Ron. What will you be doing in Thailand? Peter Peter, after my marriage broke up in March, I was a wreck for a while. I needed a holiday and went over to Thailand in Sept and fell in love with the people, the country, the food and one person in particular. I am going over in Feb to do a TEFL - teaching Eng as a foreign language - course and then am going to get a job, hopefully teaching corporate anb business English. At this stage I am not sure of my exact location. The course is in Phuket, but as Richard just posted, Chiang Mai appeals as does Udonthani. You can pick up a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house and a car there for about $75k AUD - ($62kUS). The pay is crap, but cost of iving is very low. If I do end up in Bkk, I will definitely be playing bridge. OK. Ben, if I get a cable or satelite connection then you may hear a bit more from me.

Impact Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ron, See you at GNOT later this week. I realise it will be hot but should we bring some decent wine?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Lieber Ron *sniffsniff*So soon????? Time is really running fast these days.... I will think of you at least every friday at 12.00 (my time). Ich trinke auf dein Wohl und hoffe, dass wir das auch mal gemeinsam unter Freunden tun werden :) Alles Gute, mein Freund!

Deanrover Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hog, good luck with your new start in life. Thailand is indeed an amazing place. I think you would be wise to stear clear of Bangkok as it is dirty and busy. Chiang Mai is an excellent option. Have you ever been to Kanchanaburri - that is my favourite Thai city and I think you should check it out. Thai massage every day, boating down the River Kwai, eating the most amazing food from market stalls for $1. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ron, See you at GNOT later this week. I realise it will be hot but should we bring some decent wine?? Excellent idea. I will bring a decent Bordeaux before my whole cellar gets auctioned off.See you there. we have a great team. My partner, Dilks, is unknown, but he is one of the better players in Oz.
