But a nice row of butts, as per Bazle is quite agreeable. I thought this was coming, I must admit to being a bit shocked by a couple over the morning coffee once or twice and wondered what the thoughts behind the owners was!

Not sure about the George E Stone posted there but ..... Key Largo

I got stuck around the Soi 7 area last night. Crap night out. When the rain came The Silver Star (2)... on soi 7 seemed to give up on the evening, realising no customers would be walking around outside, and those in there already were trapped, so fuck you and they put on Thai music and cranked the volume up. The girls loved it, and I wouldn't have minded a few songs to improve the atmosphere, but twenty minutes later my ears are beginning to bleed so I thought 'fuck them' and went out into the rain. Tried the 'Clinic' a few doors away.... poor. Even back around the corner, arriving dripping, The Worldwide' was slow, few girls and too many men. I never even bought a LD all night, very unusual, but no regulars seemed to be about, and the girls don't have the patience for my 10 minute rule. I was also told SS 1, in Soi 8, was under renovation, again! Just been done hasn't it, I know I wasn't impressed, but more to do with the smell!

Aha, you figured out why I got a back-box!

Well I have a few things in there.... recent events warrant a waterproof jacket, a chain and padlock for those places I deem risky, a disk-lock for lesser risk, a paper holder with licence copy, insurance and reg copies..... and a padlock without a key in case someone blocks me in with their steering lock on!I viewed an Airblade before buying the Nuovo. All irrelevant really as I put a back-box on it.

Well mine isn't a full face, it hasn't got the solid bit that goes over the chin at the front and I struggle to get it under the seat on my Nuovo..... often having to move a few other things inside the helmet before I can lock the seat down. I know the Honda Airblade has more under seat space as the fuel tank is lower.

Now you are talking....

Any type of hound perhaps!

I got the TGF to make one of MM's current favourites, Pork waterfall, (nam tok moo). I have eaten this before but never made at home. The little market nearby didn't have any BBQ pork, so she had to do that at home first. ( I prefer that anyhow as when you buy pre-cooked stuff the ingredients are often lacking, too much skin, fat and offal in the pork, splintered bones and chicken skin rather than meat). It was pretty good, and similar in taste to how she makes laab moo. Good to have uncooked veggies too. Good to increase her repertoire, somewhat limited by her own pernickety tastes and eating restrictions.

I guess the fees for taking off from LHR are higher than BKK, and landing charges will vary too.I just did a quick check on BA using one way...... LHR-BKK £881 (43169 THB) of which £235 (11515 THB) are charges. BKK-LHR £477 (23400 THB) of which £139 (6820 THB) are charges. I bet that clear it up for you.....

We got a lot of noise and quite a good bit of rain out here in Nong Plalai...... I was glad when it arrived, but getting a bit worried later as the power went off and on a couple of times. I unplugged a few things before going to bed as it was still at it ! Pleasant to be up early and feel cool air this morning.

What's up doc?

It's great when it is over though isn't it!

Sounds like a pretty slick 'fuck you'.... Someone left a smouldering cigarette in an ashtray under my nose once when I was having my male PMS and I added beer.....

Well the ones over there in there in PI are different than the staff working in USA airports.

Well I am not a particular tough guy type and there seems to be some tightly wound people in the Pattaya bars.

I ordered Morning Glory at the Flying Vegetable restaurant....the waiter came over to me and said 'duck'...I said 'no, chicken', that's when it hit me!

They all pretty much do the same thing mate, well on these long hauls they do.You get a meal soon after take-off, after a drink. And breakfast is rolled out to be done with before landing. But with KLM now you can actually pre-order your meal on board for an extra £10-12. There is a 'Your Meal On Board' option in the booking process.

Having a problem seeing the floor? You were obviously too far away from it and should have taken that drink.

It is a pity Bolton couldn't work a bit harder and give QPR a more fitting punishment.

Or played rough with a bit of bitch slapping!

A bit of compromise goes a long way, if I have smoke coming to my face, then the smoker is failing to do that, and being inconsiderate. Sadly that happens all too often. Asking smokers to hold their stick away from me often brings aggressive response, I find that very selfish. Perhaps banning smoking has put smokers off from attending pubs in the UK, although when I am there, plenty seem to congregate at the door to satiate their addiction. But you look inside to a cleaner environment where people can dine and bring their children. I certainly do not believe children should be subjected to smoke, and have nothing but disdain for parents who subject them to their habit, sadly too many do. Isn't that the height of selfishness when you affect your own offspring's health? As an asthmatic friend told me once. I also believe smoking contributed to putting my father and grandfather into their graves prematurely..... and I know many others to whom that could be attributed. They hadn't had the warnings you see in modern times, those that still do not heed the advise to quit are singularly short sighted. If you can handle the sore throat for a bit, try those electronic cigarettes for all your indoor fixes, a regular cigarette between bars could be had, and of course in outdoor BBs. I am sure a little sore throat hurts less than throat cancer.

I have often wondered as I wobbled down soi 15, why anyone would want to eat there with all the foot traffic, noise and occasional motorcycle going past your elbows. I have too noticed his good selection of seafood and the fact that there are often customers. I am not partial to eating like that, seems like everyone is eyeing your dinner and the polluted atmosphere is adding to it. I liked the ones just down soi BJ where it opens out, mostly I used the one on the left as you head towards 2nd/Pratamnak. Lately I eat more at home and when I do venture into town have a farang food hankering. I miss the variety and MM keeps posting these appealing pictures.
