It’s almost two years since the first comment was made on this site. Fitting that it should come from Billy, who was the catalyst for my starting Pattaya Days. His comment was: “I will”. I took this little phrase to my heart and have since tried to use as a mantra for my life; although I have modified it slightly by adding “probably starting tomorrow” on the end.
Fast forward to today, and the prestigious award (to be announced later) for the 3,000th comment goes again to Billy with the memorable:
“Bingo!!! … the comments column is full up with comments on this post … where do I claim my non-functioning Nokia?”
Perhaps less memorable and life changing than his first offering, although maybe I can make something out of “Bingo”.
With a few exceptions (yes, you, Walter), all the comments have been intelligent, often witty and they make writing this nonsense worthwhile. Without your comments I would have given up a long time ago.
So, thanks to all those that contribute, please keep them coming (no, not you Walter).

2010-04-24| Billy saysAshamed to say that I have the same ability as you to put things off …. though now I have rather more time on my hands “I will” follow through on my originally stated intention :-)
2010-04-25| Q’on saysat least you get comments… i guess selling mini r/c cars doesn’t exactly spawn much inspiration for replies. always good 2 read your insanity, spike! ;-P
2010-04-25| Barry saysI really enjoy reading the story of your life, even though my interest in windsurfing and taking photos of polo matches is close to zero. And all things Steve Jobs, actually. And I prefer dogs, although your cats are exceptionally handsome. Despite all that, you are marked as one of my Premium Bookmarks to look at at least once daily. No greater honour can I bestow upon a website.
2010-04-25| TT saysWho’s Walter?. Do spill……………
2010-04-25| Spike saysThanks Barry. To hell with a Pulitzer, a Barry Premium Bookmark is the ultimate accolade.
2010-04-25| Pete says@TT. Walter is an obnoxious git who posts occasional comments denigrating Spike and his excellent site. I concur with Spike’s comments in this post, 2010_02_onwards-and-upwards#comments
Unfortunately I can’t remember the original post he cropped up in, but he wasn’t received well !!
