fair play Sir a prime example of achieving anything if you put your mind to it, respect mate!TheGrinchSR wrote:Quite possibly. No, I was a scholarship kid in one of the world's most expensive schools. Both my parents started life on council estates (in my mother's case - she was also a post-world war immigrant kid) and neither (until incredibly recently - mum was in her late 50s when she finished her degree) was a university graduate. I was taught to work as a kid and make things happen if I wanted them. I've never used the old school tie to get a job or even open a door to a job (though I did once use it to rent a house when I was a long-haired metalhead in my youth) either.Jamie_Lambo wrote:are you a bit of a Toffy Mr. Grinch??

Metalhead or meat head?
I find the vernacular a trifle confusing.

Any non tribal society must ban them on grounds of hygiene, as infectious.

But... you told me there would be crumbs! By the sounds of it, the people you grew up with would have licked the wrapper clean.TheGrinchSR wrote:I honestly had no idea that anyone beyond university age would even consider sleeping in a dorm. I'd rather sleep on the street than with a bunch of backpackers. It was bad enough being in a dorm at school and there I was sharing with royalty and members of the modern aristocracy's children.

The people I went to school with, employ people to shoot wrapper lickers like you so they aren't disturbed by the sight of them. Literally in the case of Saddam Hussein's nephew...juansweetpotato wrote:But... you told me there would be crumbs!

Your missing the point Grinch old chap. What I meant was that they wouldn't have left anything for anybody else; Not even the crumbs.TheGrinchSR wrote:The people I went to school with, employ people to shoot wrapper lickers like you so they aren't disturbed by the sight of them.

They do have some kindness in them though; I remember when the gardener fell and broke his leg,
Sir Henry shot him in the head.
That dear and compassionate man couldn't bear to see even the lowliest of creatures in pain.

Re: Do backpackers shower?
so you would say a private room in ohhhh, say Bangkok for a month stay is only a few dollars more? Is it a block from the BTS? Personally I find it's way more than a couple dollars. I find PP grossly overpriced. I'm staying months at a time usually. This is WAY more than a few dollars more. I would not think of a dorm anywhere in Cambodia save PP. The one I use in Bkk is airconditioned, has a lovely roof garden, laundry facilities, a kitchen guests can use and is very clean. No smelly backpackers. More likely metrosexuals that'll use half your bottle of shampoo as a body wash if you leave it in the bathroom. Prissy lot out and about nowadays.Jamie_Lambo wrote:agreedDigg3r wrote:I've never understood the dorm mentality. Literally a couple more dollars for some privacy

Re: Do backpackers shower?
yes only a few dollars difference, i stay at a nice hostel place (no smelly backpackers) in bangkok becuase its right next to the victory monument, and bts, its 400baht for the dorm ($11.25) or 550baht for a private room ($15.50) at todays exchange rate in england thats a difference of £2.80, if i had the choice between a dorm room or private room at the difference only being £2.80 then i know which i would choose, if you are staying for months at a time, get them to give you a special monthly rateMr Curious wrote:so you would say a private room in ohhhh, say Bangkok for a month stay is only a few dollars more?
