Thread: Bloody Hammocks

Bloody things, I just can't seem to get on with them. I am not a tall guy, but the hammock at my restaurant which I paid an exhobitant price for does not seem to fit me, when I try and get in it I have to stretch it to fit me and its still to damn small.

Then on Sunday I was fishing in Bangkok with my mates, sorted a beer, went to get into someone else's hammock and fell right off the other side bruising my ribs, however for some inexplicable reason I still had my beer upright and hardly spilt a drop How can this be??


Does anybody else have these kind of problems ,or is it just me????

You need a mexican hammock.

The really big thin stretchy ones - they are the dogs bollox and big.

Fozzie you silly boy, what do you expect buying a hammock from a restaurant?
Restaurants sell food and beer and, if you're lucky, a side line on ladies but never bedding!

And fishing in a hammock?

I think you're trying to combine too many leisure activities at once.
I've managed to smoke, drink, play pool, talk crap with marmers, chat up waitstaff and watch football at the same time but can't imagine adding a hamoock to the list!

Hammocks are silly

That was a great post Pat.
Could you elaborate on the silliness of the hammock??

I post here because I don't really have much of a life and I prefer talking to people who cannot reply in real time.

DJ Pat apparantely has a life but spends time posting nosnsical shite on here. Who is sadder?

The best hammock is made out of bamboo and is fairly rigid compared to others. Costs about B450.

They are pretty good. Big leaf shaped ones.

ropy hammocks are painfull and leave marks on your body, cutting blood circulation and so on...

Woollen cover hammocks like the mexican are often more comfy...

There is a modell available in Thailand, quiet good on synthetic material and you can close yourself inside for protection against mosquitoes... but i think it is not ideal decoration on a restaurants terrace...check for proper size, i think the thai army uses this one...

When did I say I was leaving? back in November??????

Shouldn't you do a big thread announcing that you're coming back first. And maybe have a poll asking if anyone gives a shit?

I've got amnesia. What?

Damn! I laughed.

It won't happen again, I promise.

i can guaranty that all things i wrote are to be taken as true and correct only until you finish to read it.

and if you read this you will be considered as a time looser or gay up to your choice here...

As times change it was said by some philosophers that "time is money" was a very stupid quote, most people concentrate today still on counting their money, what is a renewable ressource but the one time given to each not many concentrate on using properly....so i go back to my hammock now.

It will, trust me. Wait and see old bean.

hammocks ... bollocks ... Pat ... my spidey sense is telling me there's a thread here.

Must be an art into getting into hammocks. Most times that i've tried have fallen out the other side!!! .

I'm not a fan.

Nice to laze in but can't sleep in them unless shitfaced but that's not really sleep is it.
