It's actually a special hallucinogenic spray. It makes you think you had a great time, drank 20 beers a night, had a stiffy like a flagpole and shagged 12/10 lookers every night, when the reality is you had 2 Changs and were sick, were as limp as macky's brain, and got fucked over by the 40 year old munters you paid for.

It is snowing in parts of Australia now, however I'll be throwing prawns on my barbie and enjoying my outdoor spa with a few bevies at Christmas.

Fuck, I'm shattered.

Seems not, eh?

That's a myth

Wouldn't be hard for you.

No, not enough sugar.

I can help. This is a quick overview of diabetes and medications etc. Type 1 is when your pancreas produces no insulin. You need insulin injections to live. Type 2 is 'insulin resistance'. Your pancreas produces insulin, but the cells are resistant to it. Typically with Type 2, two medications are used, Metformin which helps the cells take in insulin (lowers resistance) and Gilclazide, which causes the pancreas to secrete more insulin. There are others but they are the main stay. Sometimes, when the maximum safe dose of the above drugs is reached, it is necessary for a Type 2 person to go onto insulin as the resistance has become too great. People on insulin typically take 2 types of insulin, long lasting and short acting. Most Type 2 can go with the long lasting alone as it does for 24 hours, but some have to take the short acting too with meals. Type 1 will have to take both. When starting on insulin regimens, there is always a sort out period to see what you need, but typically with short acting, it is easy to count your carb units and give yourself the appropriate dose. The long lasting of course is a 24 hour dose. If you don't eat enough, skip a meal, forget, it is possible on long lasting insulin that there is enough of it around to keep your blood sugar at a dangerously low limit. The one thing with diabetes, type 1 or 2 is to be consistent. It is quite unusual for a type 2 person to experience hypos, if he is he is taking too much long lasting, or not eating enough. It is easily handled but takes a bit of discipline, but your first aid was good. We have orange juice in our hypo kits, as well as glucose tablets. First aid for hypos is a fast acting sugar, orange juice, coke, fanta (shit loads of sugar in fanta) but remember not the diet versions, followed by something like a sandwich. Until you are sorted out a 0200 blood sugar check is really a good idea, since it is then that sugars hit a high, but yeah, regular eating and watching the booze. Any more questions, ask away.

Phew, I ordered it, thanks for not saying it is a waste of time! Fortunately I am pretty good at languages, I used to be semi-fluent in French, could carry on simple conversations in German, and had a smattering of Mandarin, enough to get me everything I wanted in China. I acknowledge that the methods of teaching I experienced at school (which worked for me then) will not work for a 46 year old alcohol drenched brain, and that is why I looked at this method. I have tried Pimsleur (downloaded for free) and didn't get anywhere really fast. I tried Benjwan Booker's (spelling) book and audio, played constantly on an MP3 player, and learnt a bit, but found retention hard. I am looking forward to trying this method. Cheers.

Yes, was going to say the same thing, any travel agent will sort you out, door to door transport. There are many hotels on the strip we stayed on, I'm pretty sure it is White Sands Beech. There are loads of little kiosks on that strip who have tourist things to do. We only had 3 days and did an elephant ride one day and a boat trip with snorkling the next, both good. There's plenty of places to eat and drink, and the beech is nice.

Confirmed by my gf who is a nurse.

Off to work now but I'll write something for you when I get back.

I've just tried some of my home-made chocolate chilli ice cream. It was delicious but wrong, so wrong. How can ice cream leave you thinking you need some yogurt to cool your mouth down. I think I'll have some more.

I know it's an old post, I know it's the Thai way, and I know I will get flamed, but I seriously question the rationale of buying a 13 year old a motorbike of any kind. It is probably one of the best ways of not making it to 14. What did I read recently, 11,000 deaths on Thai roads, most on motorbikes. Sorry, if I had a 13 year old son/stepson, or anyone I cared about, I would not let them on, near, or even to say the word motorbike.
