A book: Once upon a time in the East - Hot and sticky yarns from rural Siam

[somtamslap]

Review coming up.

Thanks again for trying Will...

Finished it, Slap. Good job. Need more Granny stories in the sequel!

Thanks Davis. Much appreciated fella. I was gonna devote a whole chapter to Granny but her movements are limited to those of the bowel persuasion these days.

I had a glass of wine and sat down with the book last night

It's hard for me to express how privileged I feel to be an integral part of this sentence. Glad you liked it Bets, and thanks...

We're gonna need pics, Pats.

Darling, you know me and my aversion of photos. i have about 50 pics of swans on the lake here and a couple of ducks.

But the kindle shall be bought and the book bought. Looking forward to reading it. I have a Maestro card, which may work. Otherwise my mum's visa will do the trick. I'll just give her a fiver.

One question, is it safe to read in a public place? Will i laugh out loud and look like a mad person. Which, actually i do on a daily basis.

I was actually fishing for some ornithological shots - pop them up, Pats.

Saturday is normally a fantastic day for those of us snared in the unrelenting cycle of work, work, work, fucking work. But today I shall be spending my one day off (Sunday doesn't count) forking out vast volumes of currency for rented accommodation. 10 monthly payments could build me a house and swimming pool in southeast Asia - which begs the question, what the FUCK am I doing here.

In the meantime, you cut the jib of a fellow who needs spiritual enlightenment. Visit your local temple, post haste, and take something to read with you...

It's because of fat bald writers in dresses like you that our monastries have rotted.

[somtamslap]

[WorldNomad]

Well Congratulations both of you!

Following in the footsteps of bestselling author Cornhole Ruin ( A klong too far ) and Somchai ( Eat , Drink , drink , drink , sleep ), Steve has written a memoir of his flight to the good life in Nakon Nowhere , Thailand. "All my life-long, I dreamed of acquiring a Lau Khow addiction and concrete table set," writes the author, a British actor who starred in an episode of the BBC adaptation of american cable television's "Cops", When He, spotted a country shop with a classic concrete table set outside , he defied common sense and merged with the furniture. Never mind that the shop is moldering and insect-infested, the roof leaks and there doesn't seem to be any running water. Steve's account of paradise regained involves bushwhacking through the intricacies of Thailand country etiquette and battling the elements of nature (wind, rain and fire), to say nothing of the eccentric local population. Alas, the book reads, by turns, like a catalogue of the author's faux pas ("I have a leaking penis!") and a ponderous love poem ("I have facination with the betel stained mouth of old woman tittyporn"). Still, for all its false notes, the book describes life in the arse end of Issan - "lau khow , concrete table sets and yaba'd youths." Many readers will find this idealized portrait of a culture and a way of life most appealing. Steve's book seems poised to attract fans of Ruin , Somchai and others of the expatriates-in-paradise genre.

Good man. Although the words 'try' and 'soon', don't inspire a great deal of confidence, young grasshopper. How about 'will' and 'now' instead

^Do it, Balders - do it today.

Sunday. A day of reflection. A day during which, in Isaan especially, the foreign contingent may dare venture from the realms of boiled basmati in search of Western sustenance.

So as you gag on a unprofessionally prepared piece of random flesh, console yourself with high grade literature...

Much obliged, fella - even if you were a touch late to the party. I was beginning to think that you'd 'done a withnall' - aka not buying the book.

Hope you enjoy.

Side note: Book number two is in the preliminary stages; and withnall's in it.

[xanax]

I don't have a kindle nor a credit card. But, great for you guys!! Congratulations!!

Would you like a signed photograph of my bare arse?

[luckyjim]

Got the book.
Not a bad read.
Well done.

[somtamslap]

^ Thanks a lot, Jim. Much appreciated.

[WorldNomad]

Your avatar is quite enough arse for me.

How about dry Lau Khao vomit - or a 'Slap Stamp' as it's affectionately known.

I tell you, I could pummel a slurp or two of Ya Dong now. Yet here I sit with a pair of Peroni. You may as well fit me out in a frilly frock and call me Barbara.
