Good news, I always enjoyed reading his weekly column …

I think this is great news.

I've missed him like a cancerous hemorrhoid -- an amateurish hack whose primary audience is lonesome, old, withered men who still get a tingle at memories of Tilac Bar circa 1989. His tedious routine and hackneyed, unoriginal tripe is only interesting to the most jejune and simple-minded among us.

Great to hear you still tune in to the column!

You are a troubled man.

Felixcat may have been a bit crazy, but you, are just nasty.

Sorry if my assessment doesn't coincide with yours, but that's my take. It's juvenile twaddle rehashing "the industry" (wink wink, guffaw) every laborious, mind-numbingly fatuous week, year after soul-destroying year -- rephrased, repeated and restated ad nauseam. I would rather pluck out my eyeballs with a fondue fork than read another of those timeworn, platitudinous accounts.

welcome back mr stick.

"I would rather pluck out my eyeballs with a fondue fork ."

Dont let us stand in your way giggle especially if we can get braille keyboards banned

Just think without L S Lowry & stickmen, Quo would never have had their first hit single (Pictures of matchstick men) and the rest probably may never have been history

Allow me Giggle. Any particular colour do you want sending?

I'll chip in to whatever colour he decides to use, sod it I'll buy the whole set if he promises to post the video on YouTube.....

Just need him to post the address of his Nong Khai hovel so UPS know where to deliver

I'll deliver them in person to make sure they get there safely, I'll even make the video, for free!

Thanks for the memory, statts.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQyB5bu ... 5s&index=1

Never a fan of stickman although sometimes some of his ghost writers would come up with something a bit more pithy or thought provoking.

I liked the updates if I was planning reprising visits to the old haunts and the pictures were always great.

I much preferred Trink actually.

"...but I don't give a hoot!"

PS. the article linked shows the original TQ on Beach but he's mislabeled it as TQ2 which was the other non-affiliated branch up Soi BJ that after subsequent reincarnations (Bah Dah Bing was good) expired many, many moons ago.

i guess that ageing readers in their dotage with a libido that went AWOL dont need to read stickman now ..shame heh

i suspect he may be moving into the realms of fiction as how would he get current material to work on every week ?,,just on occasional visits

I couldn't agree more. I made it through about half a paragraph of his drivel and have never returned. But, there are members who swear by him and bow down at his feet waiting for his latest pronouncements.

To each his own,personally I really used to enjoy the stories and information on Stickman. A wealth of info for a newcomer back in 2003 when I first arrived. Nowadays it is not all about the bar scene and there is good info on the site, unless of course if you are one of the truly amazing guests of the mighty "kingdom" of Thailand and know everything already.
