A friendly Thai gentleman approached me and said "ping-pong madam."
I nodded, smiling......What a lovely country! Fancy the locals offering a friendly game of table tennis to a stranger.

I was ushered into a small dark establishment, looking around for the ping-pong table my eyes focused on....................... Well I can't say on a family website, but believe you me - I was out of there quicker than you could say red light district.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, I was searching 'snooping' in relation to the last Petergate, but that made howl.

Your witty contributions are sadly missed Lettie.

More please.
