Yes prop,

Thats a little cracker innit.

My mate used to use it all the time and its sort of stuck with me, Ill give you an example of its context.

If some one is " Kangaroo Edward " they are " roo-ted " which means they are exhausted or very tired.

In my case, I had worked a few night shifts, had busy nights and was "Kangaroo Edward."

Friggin easy the great Aussie lingo ain't it.

Anyway,

When i was on Thai Visa some drongo complained to the mods because he could not get what i was talking about.
The bastard gave me a friggin warning that i could not talk Aussie slang anymore because this turd burgler complained.

I mean, What The Fuk.

Jeez mate .

ThaiVisa mods are not all bad then.

good thing today!! I went down the market and the fish-shop had three lobsters in a bucket. normally they do not have them.

I asked how much and they told me I could have all of them for £10, which is amazing. The only problem is that they were dead (they still are) but had died because the circulation pump at the wholesalers had packed up.

Will cook Lobster Thermidor tonight

No dogs's chased me today, had a great shoulder workout, took care of some business. The wife made me some fried rice, but I was still hungry. I made some brussel sprouts sauteed with bacon, garlic cloves, onion, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and a hint of nutmeg and and ate it with a nice beef steak.

MMMMMM MMMMM.

**Sir Burr** · 26-10-2007, 09:49 PM

Think I already posted that the good news was that the second drilling of a narrow bore, deep well yeilded water.
They first told me "my mahk, my noi" which translates to about 7000 litres of fresh water per day. This is more than enough for my needs.
Today, they actually stuck in the submersible pump, attached a flow meter on the outlet and gave me a more accurate figure.
Turns out I'm getting 96,000 litres per day.
My water worries are finally over.

**Sir Burr** · 27-10-2007, 12:49 AM

**Bluecat** · 27-10-2007, 01:24 AM

**Happyman** · 27-10-2007, 04:33 AM

**jizzybloke** · 27-10-2007, 05:02 AM

Nothing, still waiting for something good to happen.
5 weeks of shittyness!

**Rattanaburi** · 27-10-2007, 09:51 PM

Why are there so few posts of good things happening?

I don't have anything good to say about today but the other day I got a nice oil massage from a fun-loving lady which was something I hadn't done for a few months.

**Rigger** · 28-10-2007, 09:32 AM

The motorcycle shock I ordered from the USA that got lost in the mail is gone but the company I bought it from is sending me a new one but by DHL this time

**Jet Gorgon** · 28-10-2007, 09:41 AM

A friend got a care package I sent.

And the sunrise was fantastic today.

**terry57** · 28-10-2007, 09:50 AM
