  2. Only 22 DegC this morning, might need a T-Shirt.

  3. Boy I am getting old.... That Aston must be the most beautiful thing on Earth!
  4. Yes, they stuck something in the card slot so you had problems, got you to try a few things whereby you used your pin and managed to skim the card at the same time.
  5. Yes, and then his pal distracts you and you walk out with a few less tens of thousands of Rupiah!

  7. I have ridden down Suk Northbound recently trying to get onto the motorway and then the Railway line bypass on the bike. Real dodgy, barriers in the way, and the road is being resurfaced and has been scraped which take the wheels off wherever and a bit of a ramp to negotiate to get on the flyover. These last few months are the most difficult for traffic.
  8. Soda water, 140 baht I think for a case if I return the empties, 24x400ml bottles, 6 baht each! Beer hits the thirst spot for me, but the first couple just take the dust off. Sometimes, just sometimes, I will have a G&T, gotta be Tanqueray. But the way I make them I might be falling in the pool before dinner.
  9. Just restocked my fridge, well actually 2 fridges, and was thinking how it is all a bit more expensive than it used to be. I was pondering the mark-up made by beer bars and GGBs for the pleasure of a nice environment and entertainment.. A case of Small Heinekins (24x325ml bottles) is 945 baht. A case of SML (24x 330ml bottles), 950 baht. Bought from a Naklua distributor.... So SML, despite being mostly water, some would say something else, is 5 baht more, but you get 120 ml more, nearly a half bottle! Heinekin decides it's drinkers don't hold the stuff well so give you less. Both are 5% Alcohol. Each is pretty much 39 baht ....call it 40. Big bottles are cheaper by volume, 810 baht for 12x630ml, 68 baht each. For those who say 'I never drink at home', I can only say that a cold one, chilled to a perfect temperature, that you have waited a hot afternoon for, tastes real good as the sun dips and you watch her go down, the sun that is. Jeez, I need to get a life..

  11. Pleasant cool mornings this time of year...

  12. Notting Hill
  13. George Clooney
  14. I will stick with Google...
  15. True Internet off again! Using up my phone data allowance!

  16. Yeah mine does that too,,, not long after take-off. Could have saved myself a grand or two by putting her in the back while I drank champers and port on my own!
  17. I prefer to get inside, as outside in small places, whatever food I get is often spoiled by someone smoking nearby.
  18. Thais can sleep on a clothes iine!
  19. Where's your salad at?
  20. Hard to stop them knowing already these days...... Seems an extra step to switch to Line (which I haven't got) or another Messaging App. Quite a few mail order companies (and service guys) ask for a phone number these days and if the guy just called sending an SMS is easiest than trying to find him on these other Apps. I even got a call once while I was sat in the barber's chair. I copied the link of the coordinates of my house so that I can use them even when not at home, sometimes adding my Mrs number. She gives far superior directions than me in Thai! Ting_Tongs comments notwithstanding. My place is a little awkward to find,
  21. Last night at TT....
  22. Simply called 'Send My Location'....
  23. William H Macy.
  24. Thanks for that 'test'..... I have a little App on my phone that can send my location as a SMS, that can then be opened in Google Maps to show my location. I just hope the guy has a smart phone and is smart enough. Shipping companies is exactly why I go it.
  25. Well, to conclude. Picked up the passport today, they sat me down, stamped 'Good Guy' on my forehead, took my picture, patted me on the bottom and said 'behave yourself' and sent me on my way.
