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

He's BBC English with a whole truck full of Fucks thrown in...

We of the bourgeoisie only say the F-word when we are thoroughly fed up, don't you know.

The prevaling difference between Southeast Asian and Western European living is simple:

In Thailand it's almost an impossibility to differentiate between weekdays and weekends - every day is a fucking holiday. With this in mind - you LUCKY BASTARDS - go forth and supplement your simplistic existence with this book...

And perhaps take a Lau Khao or two. This is how teenagers imbibe it...

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

But shall obtain a kindle soon, and borrow a credit card from some unsuspecting person and pay them back in pints. Or, here, half a pint.

Can you still see the illustrations on a kindle.

Also, Slap, i wouldn't have put you down for a Steven!!!

Smeg, and his tome must be sorta sad...

[OhOh]

In Thailand it's almost an impossibility to differentiate between weekdays and weekends - every day is a fucking holiday.

Compared to the stress and shite embodied in your average western job your spot on.

His real name is Tom Samslap.

He is posh, so he uses the nom de plume Steven Edwards.

[somtamslap]

and borrow a credit card

Or use a debit card, Pats. Failing that, possibly we could come to some sort of an arrangement.

Can you still see the illustrations on a kindle.

Indeed you can.

Compared to the stress and shite embodied in your average western job your spot on.

Work, work,work, house payments, car payments, work, more payments.

England in 10 words.

nom de plume

- sounds like legume, which is French for vegetable, root vegetables, obscene root crops, obscene root crops fit for the 'arris of a barnyard animal.

Talk about lowering the tone of the thread, withnall. Take your filth elsewhere.

If it's these two, send them over here !

Looks like a good read

[kingwilly]

I will try again, if no go then I'll Amazon it to me Kindle (wish I'd known about that option earlier..._

I got the pdf version, but Calibre (free download) converted to kindle form easily enough.

At $4.99, mine's cheapest so far. Maybe I get a senior citizen discount they neglected to tell me about....

Nope, $4.74 for sharing it on social media. (actually, I shared it on Fb, Google+ and twitter

All the felicitation, laudation, and hearty back patting here from the teakdoor literati,

I just purchased your weighty tome this a.m. and I must say the transaction was quite easy and painless. I don't know what Betty was complaining about, the whole process took less than two minutes.

Friday today. I know that doesn't mean a great deal to those who reside in the Far East, but it means a fucking huge amount to me. The hamster can leave wheel for a few glorious moments.

Toast my good fortune with a jug of award winning ale in some random Suk Soi 3 eatery... oh, and a book of Asian based tomfoolery, which will hopefully cause you to guffaw. Yes, actually guffaw.

Agree with Slap there.

Nice one blue..

[Davis Knowlton]

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

[patsycat]

Is it true, that a kindle is charged on a laptop? I am a but worried that if i buy it in the UK the plug is different here. Or should i just buy it here.

I have been wanting a kindle for a long time, being a reader of everything.

And my 10 banana boxes full of books can go to the next Church book sale. Apart from the 50 shades of grey trilogy which i am sending to a friend in London.

[Davis Knowlton]

Plugs into a port on your computer. Plug thing comes with it. Fits any computer port as far as I know. Although I plug mine into a desktop, but that shouldn't make a difference.

[patsycat]

Thanks, i thought it was like a phone charger thingy, when i go to my mum's in Scotland i have to use a transformer plug.

The problem shall be solved at the end of this month. Looking forward to reading the book, hope there is not too much hate for cats!!!

My brother in law wrote a book, and it is on Amazon too. Took him ten years. I shall find out the name. But sales are slow, he keeps giving away the book. Signed.

I have the desktop and the laptop so i should be ok.

[Bettyboo]

^ just take the plunge, Patsy - Kindles are great, easy to get the book in seconds and nice to read.

I don't know what Betty was complaining about, the whole process took less than two minutes.

You're obviously a lot smarter than me... I don't do Paypal and the CC option didn't work for me. Maybe Paypal was easy?


I had a glass of wine and sat down with the book last night, thoroughly enjoyed the read. Good effort slaps and SFB.

[kingwilly]

Thanks, i thought it was like a phone charger thingy,

Yes it is, you can charge it in a computer, you can borrow a samsung or iphone charger or buy your own socket charger, even balckberry chargers will do the job.

Simples.

[OhOh]

The ladies have one of those paper/card thingys in their hands.





Cant see anything here or is that a Kindle screen that needs adjusting?

[patsycat]

I don't have an i phone diddly daddly. I have a Toshiba lap top. Thats all. And an old Nokia phone, does me good.

I can plug a kindle into my laptop, good. All i needed to know.

Thanks.

Wine, out of a box. i can also pour that holding my phone and balancing the laptop on my very sexy legs.

Multi tasting. ish.
