Paddy and Murphy are working on a building site. Paddy says to Murphy, “I’m gonna get the day off. I’m gonna pretend I’ve gone mad!” He climbs up the rafters, hangs upside down and shouts “I’m a lightbulb, I’m a lightbulb!” Murphy watches in amazement. The foreman shouts: “Paddy, go home. You’ve gone mad.” So Paddy leaves the site. Murphy starts packing his kit up to leave as well. “Where do you think you’re going?” asks the foreman. “Well, I can’t work in the friggin dark!” said Murphy.

Be careful Bazle, little wee Hyku will throw his toys out of the cot and put you on block..... now that would be funny...

No doubt this is a temporary market next to Nirun judging by thin layer of concrete with no rebar reinforcing.

I guess that its all about your age and time available. Of recent time I have had to spend nights in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong and Auckland and other places due to all sorts of issues. As long as the airlines put me up and I sometime get a chance look at places that I have never seen before then I put it down as a bonus. The only thing that got me really wild was finding out that the HK $75 that I got for breakfast at the airport was a joke. I complained and got $US 100 in compensation! I would also be pissed of if this was my once a year holiday but other than that I accept missed pl

Right, back in blighty now. Damn this infernal cold weather. Rawhide, you are , of course, correct. I don't think there are many pilots who can get a 747 with all 4 engines failed landed with zero injuries although perhaps very probably a strong smell of shit coming from the cabin: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress ". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_9 Our return out of Hong Kong was pret

.... or possibly because it wasn't funny!

Looks like a new Thai market going up behind Nirun.

First of 2020.

Most of the Thai's are very nice. We experience the odd bad experience or read a negative story and that is what seems to resonate. I remember back in 2002 in Koh Samui i was in a bar when it was pissing down. I really needed to get back to my room so i checked my bin. The lady asked me where i was going so i told her i really needed to go so i'll just have to get wet. She said wait and handed me her umbrella. I told her i wasn't coming back until tomorrow night and she said mai bpen rai that's fine, don't want you to get sick. Sometimes we need threads like this to remember our hosts are

Butch, how right you are. Generally speaking I have had a good relationship with Thai people even when I was shagging their daughters! I have some great memories of just sitting around eating and drinking with the TGF and her extended family. It is a bit difficult to recall all the smaller things that happen but I recall a MC taxi rider happy to give me his chair when I couldn't walk awaiting a new hip. I still pass him and we still share some banter. Just a while ago I was chatting with the manager of my hotel and we touched on the currency woes. Her reply was to say that I could book

Not all the British people are sheep just the 13.9 million who voted tory.
