With "how real thai live" you mean they want to check out the local 200 baht brothel?
Thanks, I will pass on that offer as I have seen enough of "real thai life" where your constructions workers come from.

Well as you can see the wall is progressing slowly, too foking slowly, I am probably going to have to concentrate on the smaller plot of land as to build a wall round the whole lot is gonna cost a fortune, funny how differant it is when it's your own money your spending, the chink next door has stopped work on his land, I assume he is hoping I will pay him some dosh, funny ppl these chinks aint they...

The Foking Snake......
Now this snake was like smaller than the worms I used to use as fishing bait, it was like 5 inches long and the Thais were terrified of it, I mean these are the sort of things you just stamp on and forget about, it had sneaked into the cavity of a breeze block, now there were about 20 blocks in this pile so they were all standing around with weapons till they found the snake, ok it was a poisonous beasty snake but it was only a baby, so they found the block it was in and seperated the block from the rest, they then got a cement bag and set fire to it to try and cook the snake...

That obviously didn't work, so it came down to clubbing this thing that wasn't bigger than a worm to death, although I have to admit it was an aggressive sob cos the first guy missed and it came after him, but no worm can stand up against a 3 by 2 inch lump of wood welded by a crazed Thai man, yep the others got it, they whacked that worm and executed the sob, then they set it on fire, maybe they were cooking it, anyway it's well and truely dead now, I am thinking of making my walls higher now, I really don't like the idea of snakes living with me....

^ Are you using your land as a scrap yard, DD?
hmmmmm, thats my car actually....
Well as you can see all the block work is up for one side of me land apart from a couple of blocks, half of them are now digging out for the footings to the next side, the money is rushing out a lot quicker than it's comeing in, and that aint a good thing to my mind.

Nasty Bastard Thais:
Now I like squirrels, not mrs quirrel but real squirrels, now when me staff first moved to the land they asked the galfriend if they could borrow one of those mouse trapping cages, now I'm all for people keeping pets, pets are nice and kids love them.
They have been there for a while now and I have to admit not to seeing any mouse cages full of mice.
Today I saw this:
Hmmmm, where's the site manager I asked the lowly foreman, "oh, he's out catching birds", said the lowly foreman, hmmm ok this was lunch time today....
It gets worse believe me, now I used to have a couple of squirrels as pets, mickie and minnie they were called, they were great pets and we used to let them loose and they would come when you called them, loved being stroked etc etc, well this next picture is not for the faint hearted.....
MICKIE IS DEAD
Well the site manager came back from his unsuccessful bird catching trip at 1pm ready for work again, so I asked him about all this, it seems they are catching everything that is alive and killing it and eating it, so far they have eaten 10 squirrels and 3 of some other fluffy tailed animal, I really couldn't understand their eagerness to move out of a nice bungalow to a shanty town in the middle of the jungle so to speak, now I realise why, they like to kill and eat small fluffy animals, ohhh, and birds, anyway here's a picture of a bbqued squirrel I took today...

Does it taste like chicken?
I will get them to keep one specialy for you marmite, then you can tell usI assume you would prefer the head and tail removed....
Completely filleted if possible. I hate twatting around with bones, fat & skin.
Cheers.
Well the walls are coming along at a rapid pace and the money is going out at a rapid pace
Today they had a nice baby squirell in the old rat trap thingy, it must have all of 80 grams of meat on it, I shall check whether it's still there tomorrow, or whether another tail is hung with the rest....
two sides of the lands walls are now up
and more importantly they have decided to keep the squirrel as a pet, yep they aint gonna bbq this one thank god, they have put him in the rabbits cage, I am not sure what happens at night when the rabbits are caught and put back in their cage, or maybe the rabbits are just left free at night, anyway Sunday we are starting to plant all our fruit trees there, as Marmite has mentioned my place here looks like a jungle and I have a load more fruit trees in the back garden if you can call an area of 2 met by 1 met a garden, the staffs veg garden is doing well and I bought erm 7 more packs of seeds today, so it looks like with all the fruit and veg and jungle animals they catch they will never have to buy food again, it maybe time to mention the wage decrease i have been thinking about![]()
Seems to me they're considering fattening it up first!Originally Posted by dirtydog
That's what I was thinking, too.Originally Posted by Curious George
Ok they now have another squirrel, yep they got a boy and a girl, these are kept in the rabbit cage, at night the rabbits are kept in the toilet, so next month I am going to have them build an avary type thing, about 4 met by 4 met, with a small pond in it aswell, I shall buy some birds to keep in there and the squirrels can live there, baby squirrels sell for 350baht each and these things breed like rabbits, ie the male gets on top of the female etc etc, anyway here is a picture of the rabbits sleeping area.

And of course we need a picture of their veggie garden, they got mint, basil, chilli, papaya trees, plus lot's of stuff that I wouldn't eat.

And here's the chain gang at work, normally they call me boss, I wonder if I can get them to call me bwana.

And here they are, 2 massive great big walls that have cost me a small fortune, and they havent been rendered off yet

Off course we wonder what they do in the evening to entertain themselves, well all will be exposed, one of them is now in the process of making a bamboo hamock, obviously most of them prefer to go into the jungle and kill and eat small defenceless little animals, one of them makes 4 foot fishing rods out of bamboo, a couple of them a few days set up a load of 6 meter lenghs of bamboo upright into the ground, I did ask why, it seems they put glue on the top of the pole and hope a bird lands on it, then they eat the bird...

Well tomorrow shall be an exciting day, We are going to take about 20 or 30 fruit trees from my back garden and front jungle and plant them in the "orchard", the "orchard" area keeps getting flooded during the rains but I reckon with about 30 trees there that will sort out that problem, easy answer is not to water them for about a month before the rainy season next year.
The avary I am quite excited about now and may move the schedule ahead for that, hell baby minor birds sell for 1,500baht per bird, that's one and a half meters of garden wall cost wise, time to start getting some money in for this bloody land, I shall also make a mushroom house, yep grow the old tasteless Thai mushrooms that the Thais love so much, A few years ago I tried importing the spoor for the good old English mushrooms, but it seems they are already mixed with the medium they need to grow and Thai customs would not allow that sort of thing to pass.
Good news, and Bad news...
Well we took down to the land about 30 fruit trees, I now realise that this is nowhere near enough to fill that area, I need maybe 100 more, this foking farming lark is bloody expensive, I was going to take a picture, but I have to admit I was too embarrassed to, it still looks like barren land.
One of the staff has bought a chicken, the first I saw of it was when I was getting stuff out of the passenger side of the old truck and it attacked my foot, yes I admit I started screaming like a gal but I thought it was the head of some monstrous big black snake attacking my foot, I had visions of having to let my staff drive me to hospital in my car, it was quite horrifying, oh, how the staff laughed, foking cnuts...
One of the squirrels died last night, yep I think the boy one killed her, I'm really not sure whether they were joking or not when I asked whether they had eaten the dead body, I mean I suppose there is not really any reason not to eat a squirrel that has been killed by another squirrel, but I am more of a foodland type of person.
Bloody Poofta!One of the staff has bought a chicken, the first I saw of it was when I was getting stuff out of the passenger side of the old truck and it attacked my foot, yes I admit I started screaming like a gal but I thought it was the head of some monstrous big black snake attacking my foot, I had visions of having to let my staff drive me to hospital in my car, it was quite horrifying, oh, how the staff laughed, foking cnuts...
