Just need to set up a snare on top of the light fixture with some dental floss while they are out and about
:bunny3:
^^
At least post them correctly you wanker. :)
Can always count on Looper to gross everyone out. Next thing he will post is how he catches and eats Huntsman spiders.Quote:

I had something and rice for lunch... and the same something with a different coloured rice for dinner. I didn't realise ASQ was supposed to be a punishment.
My wanker of a Welsh mate was asking me how to cook roast lamb today... along with a picture of an oven-ready NZ lamb leg, as Boris Johnson would say.
Wankers, the lot if you! :)
^^ So Looper, I make my first friends and you think I should eat 'em?
Have you never watched the Shawshank Redemption?
It was Jake who got Brooks through his sentence!
You told him to put it in the oven at 275°C for 3 hours?Quote:

I feel your pain, hang in there.:)
I've noticed snubs is strictly a beef, pork and chicken man. I guess it's the same for most of our burger-eating chums across the pond?Quote:

For a man who is bored and hungry, he’s not really posting as much on TD as he could be...I wonder if he really is running a half marathon?
Pigeon and rabbit is not widely eaten in the US in fact I think most here would be sick of the thought of eating pigeon which is considered a filthy street bird. In America venison is common but not really in stores. It must be hunted the same as elk, moose, bear etc. Sadly I am in the city and the family I had that did the hunting and fishing have all died off.Quote:

Sorry Mendip. :)
My family ran fishing boats up into Alaska, so I was spoiled as a kid. We always had the freshest of the fresh. King crab, Halibut and salmon. As mentioned above that part of my family has passed on so I have to fend for meself when it comes to procuring seafood.

HTF has this become a food thread?

That doesn't look bad Joe but to be honest maybe this ASQ food isn't so bad after all! :)
^ Sorry Mendip, trying to keep your spirits up.

But I'm sticking with the American breakfast, albeit absolutely stone cold. In the absence of a microwave I was considering putting it out in the sun for a while but fear that my two new friends out on the balcony would think it another offering.
But I did get TWO bottles of milk today... these small victories are what makes life in Thailand so worthwhile. I have been considering asking for some sachets of ketchup but I just don't have the energy.
The small tub of suspicious looking orange stuff on the left appeared to be crystallised butter that had obviously melted at some point in the past and then been put back in the fridge to harden up again

Now, I get the need for quarantine and also think that Thailand has done a great job in controlling the spread of coronavirus, especially when you consider the mess I left in Europe a few days ago. I also have a wife and child in Korat... Thailand is my home, such as it will ever be, so I have real reasons to return. What I don't get is the need to treat quarantine as a punishment. These two weeks ain't cheap... if the Thais think that long term tourists will spend their first two weeks being fed like this at a cost of 60,000 Baht (for ONE person) I think they are sadly deluded. It's taken me three days to get a decent bottle of milk, FFS.
I'm no foodie and would happily eat round at Joe 90's any time, but what tourist would pay 1500 quid (or nearly 3k for a couple) to be fed like a prisoner in solitary confinement for a fortnight? I certainly wouldn't.
Anyway, rant over. I need to lose weight anyway.
Today appeared to be rubbish putting out day, so I followed suite. I gave 'em their smelly butter back.

He didn't have the money but he did get sick, not Covid, and the embassy allowed him to jump the queue, which is free.
^ I was only curious.
I have no problem doing the quarantine, but the money paid out for the meals given doesn't seem to equate. Someone is doing very well out of this.
But anyway... I have now got into a routine and it's quite relaxing.
I read my book in the sun on the balcony for a while in the mornings, joined by my new friends who pop in for snack now and again.

The we sit in the sun together in companionable silence.

She's good company and the morning just flew by. I'm going to try and get her eating from my hand before I leave.
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...6&d=1610950133
And then came the knock on the door and she flew off.
It was spag bol with the regulation one piece of garlic bread and some unidentifiable lukewarm grey sludge.
Even after eating it I was none the wiser, so checked what I had ordered yesterday. Mystery solved... it was mushroom soup!

I was thinking that maybe there are extra backroom costs to make sure that everything is delivered in an antiseptic way. Then I thought, actually food should always be served hygienically and all this disposable packaging is probably easier than washing up. On balance I am sure you are right, they are gouging on the food.Quote:

How come she's got a bottle of champagne in her ASQ? And a bunch of bananas! That's not fair!Quote:

It's really strange, but every time I fly to work, or fly back again, I get cracked feet. I used to think it was the change in temperature, or humidity, or the wearing of socks, or the not wearing of socks again, but I have no idea what causes it. For the first few days back at work on a boat, or back home again, I get cracked feet. Then, after a few days the cracks heel (:)) up and I'm fine again.
Maybe it's the actual flights that cause it?
I've Googled it, and apparently obesity and diabetes can cause cracked feet. I may be carrying an extra kilo or two, but no way am I obese, and I'm not diabetic... I have regular medicals. And besides, that wouldn't explain why this only happens for a few days after my flights. And it's been going on for years.
So anyway, this is why I'm not running marathons, just at the moment. This is the bottom of my left foot, and it's bloody painful just now... that's blood on the crack by my little toe. The right foot is no better.

And to anyone at liberty who's been taunting me with pictures of their delicious food...
If this has put you off your lunch... I am really sorry.
You need to slap a bit of moisturiser on that foot. Anything cheap will do. Does the hotel provide any in their bathroom kit? Or ask the nurse, she must be set up to get non-prescription meds for detainees. Sorry, guests. I'm sure she'll be pleased to rub it in for you.
Welcome back! I get cracked heels due to the dry cold weather here- you need to lather them in Vaseline for a couple of nights. You'll have plenty left other to use with that big wad of tissues.
@mendip - as others have said, put some lotion/ moisturiser on the foot, ideally at night before you sleep. Let the lotion dry a bit, then put socks on. The socks help trap the lotion on your skin. Same thing with hands/ gloves if one has dry skin on hands. Beauty tip 101. :)
Jeezuz that foot's not good, as mentioned you need to get moisturiser onto them.
Really looking forward to your home cooking pics after parole, I'd imagine you've got your first few weeks meals planned and go over them in your head each time you get served things like that spaghetti abomination above.
Here's a situation appropriate book you should grab to pass the time :)
