Was it blurry like that?

Do Emirates offer a single stop connection?

Next time, do what I did, take an opportunity to tidy up the wild forest while the boys are tucked in!

The main freezer at Tesco.

Pre-dawn...shit, I am struggling to do alternate mid-afternoon ones. I have jumped in a few times and decided immediately 'fukc this' and got straight back out after the hard part was done! And when I do manage a bit of swimming, straight to a hot shower. The sad thing is, out in the rural areas, this type of weather performs a bit of a culling of the weakest... they rarely have any place to get warm.

I must admit, after living in Thailand, my visits to 'UK style chinkies', in the UK, have also disappointed me with the 'blandness'. Perhaps Thai food does that for you......the TGF felt the same. I managed to get some good 'Hot and Sour' soups, once I had persuaded them to find some 'very spicy Chilli sauce'....to mix in. Maybe something to consider.

I cleaned this up.....I found it funny and would like it to remain so.

A couple of checks yesterday and today ..... so far no issue. Sounds like it was a clever one.....

No, I won't. I get the big bottles of 'Mountain Spring' drinking water...tap water is only fit for showering where I live. I tried a small plastic storage jar, about an imperial pint. Has a spring lid lock and silicone seal. Worked fine and the tea ready in an hour...... Glad to use up some of the tea bags I have had for ages although limes are costing a few baht!

I must admit it has been a while since I received any such emails from them too. Checking for flights recently, Biz Class ex BKK, for the first time Emirates were coming up cheapest. (Between Qatar, Etihad, BA and them). Even though I am no fan of their Biz Class Cabin, particularly on the A380, I do like the limo service.

I recall watching some UK chef on TV making the 'perfect chips', which was what he served up in his restaurant. If I remember they got cooked 3 distinct times, starting with boiling and then fried twice...the final one being in duck fat. Took bloody hours and not quite putting the chip pan on after getting home from the pub, which has killed many!

BigD.....I will invite Adropov round for dinner, he paid last time!

What was that strange Greek fellow called Demise something.........? Ughhh......

I believe it is becoming quite a common 'crop' in Afghanistan, one of the few that have more value than opium.

It's the LDOPs who have run out of money trying to be the centre of attention.

Just run up 3rd to Big-C-Xtra mall there and try Homepro. I have seen both wire and nylon rope there. Just a matter of doing a proper job once.

Dare I mention frozen chips which are then oven-baked. Lower oil content so 'healthy'...... When I was a kid all the chippies peeled and cut their own spuds (most of them had a machine like a hand press for cutting them so to hell with the hand cut part), then deep fried in lard! Tasted good mostly due to liberal salting, but men (who also smoked ) often died in their 50s! I rarely eat fish and chips here, mainly after a few plates whereby what appeared to be a nice large well battered fish seemed to have a mush inside instead of flakes of fish. Likely some 2 headed freshwater fish, not a grouper.

I have a vague recollection of seeing it in Foodland......
