Maybe those that understand what you just said but I'm guessing that's no where near all

Decided to let Gert do some online shopping what could go wrong with such a simple task .

Had one hell of a storm hit the village this afternoon. Knocked a small tree through the downstairs bedroom window and, while we were mopping up, lightning struck close by and took out the RCBO in the consumer unit. It's trashed so using the laptop by candlelight...

...found all sorts of stuff plugged in, never checked as I haven't used the TV or stereo etc. since being here but apparently BIL did when I was away...

At least everyone is safe and sound, loads of frogs are having a ball outside, and the beer is still cold enough to drink...

[Troy]

^ The consumer unit was well and truly trashed. Had to replace the whole thing and not just the RCBO. Looks like the lightning strike was very close. No wonder the dog was shaking so much. Mrs Troy was also running around in headless chicken mode.

Good news is that is all that was trashed. TV is working as is everything else. No candlelit romance tonight then.

Unelected cvnts thinking they can rule the roost.
Fuck em, there's a vibrator coming.

Somebody should tell SRT that if their colourful menu shows 5 different types of tea then:
If you order Earl Grey , English Breakfast you didn't expect to be lumbered with Jasmine Green Tea.
A sorry "We don't have" from the server just doesn't cut it.
And then you are charged 50 Baht for a 2 baht tea bag.

Up with the lark, birds singing. Swim before breakfast, showered and shaved.

.... then I forgot. I don’t work anymore. Damn. What to do with the rest of the day .....

Baking hot sunshine all week, when I take a week off to go camping it's raining cats , dogs and effing sheep.

Last day in Isaan. Have to go back to Germany for 4 months to enjoy the European summer. I spent a week trying to photograph two different swallowtails and ended up without a single shot. I watched one for 3 hours, flying to and fro but it simply refused to pose. Damn thing landed on my foot but it was too close to focus with the telephoto.

Why do they insist on leaving their diesel vehicles running while they go shopping at the market next door?
It's difficult to enjoy my early morning smoke while breathing their toxic fumes.

I gave up shaving along time ago, except special occasions, have an electric hair cutter, head and face about once a week.

Never get out of bed before I need to, Thai time, if you need to do something, but can put it off till tomorrow, then tomorrow it is. If tomorrow is Friday, then it can wait until Monday.

[tomcat]

...I note you didn't specify which Monday...

^^ My philosophy too.

"Better late, if ever".

Cleaning computers full of crap and flaking like a leper, grrrrr.

Odd socks.. The missus' washing machine seems to have a facility that loses 1 sock out of every pair that goes in. Maybe it's a rip in the space-time continuum, or she bought it from some fucking Twilight Zone episode, I just don't know..
Cheapo Sports socks, or pure cotton / lambswool type, it doesn't seem to differentiate. I have actually considered amputating a foot just to keep in with the mono-ped theme going on here.
Drives me fucking nuts.

[Latindancer]

It's officially true ! They DO eat socks.

Somehow, my name is in the story too:

"Socks, underwear, a credit card… and that is just what was in the bottom of the machine. When he removed the water pump that removes the water from the machine, he found about $7.00 in change."

The "Twilight Zone" theme tune is getting louder..

[Latindancer]

As long as you don't recognize any of those socks, the space-time continuum is still intact.

It's a vicious cycle mate

[Chittychangchang]

Whites mixed with colours!
Colours mixed with whites!
Washed and left in the machine for days on end, then washed again
The black Hole for socks!! I even started buying just black socks because I was so pissed off with missing odd socks.
Had a draw full of them.
Thai logic...let's overfill a 9kg state of the art washing machine and fook off out for the day leaving the washing to crease and go damp when it's a windy sunny day and could be dry and crease less in an hour, but hey it looks like I'm doing some house work!
There is no rhyme or reason to it and before you know it the vicious cycle is on repeat again.

I swear if anyone was to ask me advice on marrying a Thai I would humbly suggest a full frontal lobotomy or permanent sedative medication.

All they are interested in is eating,their phone, drinking and gambling.
Not necessarily in that order.

Rant over.
