Lars, I hope you post a reminder here on the forum sometime in late January. I might have a problem remembering something that is supposed to happen 60 days from now. (Who am I kidding, I will DEFINITELY need a reminder!!) Also, I don't have a calendar for 2009 but doing a little 'count-back' this looks like it will be on a Saturday... is that right? I'm planning to be there.

So it's only for "retired" ex pats then

[Lars Erik Brandt]

Well, at least some of our famous writers are interested to come. Thank you for that! And i surely will remind about the date and time later on a couple of time.
Well again, about retired people i do think we all have retired from omething, havent we? and you dont have to be 65 for to retired from something, rigth? Not even i am that old or young! And do not have grey hair yet. So , whats retired???

so sad, all these hi tech toys, lol, and nobody knows how to use them. let's see, most have cell phones, with a calendar and alarm.............hmm, bet that mac has a calendar and a reminder function...

sounds good Lars, barring any pressing engagements, should be in the area, as if i need an excuse to visit the Clock. and lunch time, imagine that. cya there.

Lars,
I was referring to the fact that the meeting was to be held on a Thurs afternoon, and there is not a lot of chance for anyone who is working here in Udon to attend. Thus the only people (all be it probably the majority) who can attend, will be those of us who have retired. Those who still have to work for a living are not being given a chance to come. Surely it would be better to hold the first meeting on a day when the majority (retired and working) can attend. Saturday or Sunday perhaps.
That said, hope to see you on whatever day.

adding to that, a non 1st saturday or sunday of the month, which a few already have plans penciled in for that night market meeting, and some sleep in on sunday

no probs here, i fall in that lazy, non schedule kind of bum category

[Lars Erik Brandt]

The New Expat Club i North-East just want to remind all who have the interest to come and visit our first meeting at The Irish Clock at Sampanamit Rd. near the trainstation in Udon Thani! All fellows and there relatives are WELCOME at the meeting,, and dont forget!!!! It starts at, 13.00 Thursday the 29th January.

Good business for the clock. What commission are you on? Will it be the same venue every time?? There some expats who won’t put their foot through the door of that establishment.

[beer monkey]

Well i suppose its hard to please everyone, as i am sure my man Obama will find out.

[Astana]

Is that your first Obamism BM.

Yes... This can be very painful.

[beer monkey]

Especially when wearing Flip Flops.

[panick]

Does this only apply to non bi-peds?

Especially when wearing Flip Flops

And if it does ..... Would they Flip or Flop

[beer monkey]

Mmmm good point....And i have a *solution about some not putting a foot through the door thing...now if they had a false foot they could unscrew it and leave that one outside whilst the rest of their body (and other good foot) went inside for a drink or fine food....this would solve the dilemma of whether they should go in the door with their 'foot' or not ...everyone wins.



*This would only be a solution for people with a false foot(or false leg would qualify too)...anyone else your on your own.

Enjoy the meeting @ The Irish Clock 29th January.

6 minutes after you join up, you try do a hatchet job on the clock.

Curiouser and curiouser cried Alice...

[beer monkey]

16 minutes IA ..16.
Who's Alice..? Ross's Sister..?

[BobHelm]

I think the entire idea of using The Clock was that the "outside" sitting area at the back could be used.
SO, you don't even have to go into The Clock, you can go through the "hotel entrance" & straight out the back. If that is still too horrific for someone then they can go right through the Dragon Bar next door & enter the outside area that way.
Personally, I would wonder if anyone who was so inflexible as to not enter The Clock would necessarily be an excellent member for a club.....Ah, OK I understand.....maybe that is why I am not a member of a club...
Best wishes with setting up the concept Lars Erik I hope that it all goes well for you & is a great success.

[beer monkey]

perhaps patlum would suggest to the members of the newly opened club where the next meet should be held.
