    It was not something that should trigger a doubt, he could as well have said it.

    Was a treat driving through Pattaya to Central for my fortnightly bread, very little traffic, lots of space, very few shoppers, pity we have to rely on a killer virus for such pleasures.

    ^ But did they cut the bread right, Jabir? That's the most important thing!

    ^ Do keep up, OhOh. Jabir has his bread cut to order in a very precise fashion that is a cause of much consternation. It's a heartbreaking issue that every Teakdorian should be aware of. Jabir needs your support. Please don't make light of it.

    Hear, Hear - Jabir's bread is just the tip of the iceberg. The complexity at the heart of the problem speaks volumes concerning the underlying mentality and mindset of the Thai's "we've always done it tis way" lifestyle...

    Wifey called ahead, 8 bags neatly arranged and ready for pick up when I arrived, so my only moan is the crap slicer they've been using for the past 11 years which cuts neither straight nor evenly; worked on it with regular complaints for the first couple of years, then did what they wanted and gave up.

    We have a breadknife, but technology should be able to slice a loaf better than variable thicknesses with bits falling off.

    This is no reflection on counter staff that got it right twice in a row bless them, but what's the point in Tops baking what must be the best bread in Pattaya and then doing a major fail!

    Seeing as our mother insisted on being the sole operator of said potential circumcision technology - no.

    They're very good and easy to use . . . plus it keeps the bread fresh as you slice when you need

    I have to take all my annual holidays now because of Covid19.

    Wouldn't mind if I was on a tropical island not flaming self isolation.

    Oh and the cherry on the top is a 10%decrease in salary for the next year.

    I've not even heard a cough yet

    Was looking forward to the research aspect of my course, that's won't be happening now. So here I am on this cheerful morning staring and the dullest of documents from Cambridge International trying to find just one thing that might ignite some kinda interest in me to analyze. Glad I stocked up on coffee and booze.
