Gym - 50B

Is that a work gym, or one of those back street places full of somtam makers doing arobics under a fan?

[friscofrankie]

how come she has to pay 1B more?

dunno man, Guess I'm friendlier. The ol' lady rarely goes to the local mini mart and i'm ot even sure they know we're together. The common price is 46 the wife there would charge me 45 the husband 46. couple of weeks later the husband 45 the wife 46. There's a mini mart another 50 meters downthe road sell 'em for 45, got tired of not hving exact change, so I started walking by them. recenty went back now the wife and husband are n the same price 45.
They always wanna chat for ten minutes about the US vs Thailand or the weather I sit and BS with 'em sometimes I'll freeload a meal. I'm part of the neighborhood now. The ol' lady? they don't know her from adam, plus she's not real talkative, 'cept when I'm trying to work.

[lovebucket]

No breakfast, free lunch and I think some friends will take me for dinner. What a good life.

Don't let them see the pics of your last night's meal; they'll probably make you cook again.

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

I bought a Versace silk shirt, tie and jacket at the weekend.

Poncy ones , with gilded wigglies all over them

I look like a wedding cake at a gay marriage.

yes, you are not renowned for your dress sense....

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

Il faut souffrir pour etre belle.

By the way, Blake, you need to stop doing that funny thing with your face - when you pull down the corners of your mouth. Its becoming like a tic. I just want to let you know as one mate to another. Its becoming more noticeable. I used to have a strange spazzy facial tic when I was younger and was stressed out when my parents were divorcing.

[Blake7]

That's because The People's Champ once claimed I looked like Hugh Grant. Obvious I felt extremely flattered to receive such praise from such an icon but when I got home and looked in the mirror I couldn't make the connection. I am therefore practicing silly upper-class English facial expressions in an attempt to live up to the Champ's expectations.

By the way do you still wear socks and sandals in HK?

[cantona]

Today, I've so far spent 1600b to repair a door in the house after the misses went mad at Songkran. my fault though as I was a naughty little Cantona.

What did you do? pray tell!

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

"By the way do you still wear socks and sandals in HK?"

Left the sandals behind. One has to wear socks with them in Bkk for dog poop reasons.


I notice that when you've had a few drinks the tic goes away. You know the one I mean don't you. Yes, it is a Hugh Grant-ish thing - and accompanied with a shrug...eg

GOTM "What about the People's Champ?"

Blake (shrugging) "Still drifting" (pulls corners of mouth down)

GOTM "Any news from Butterfly?"

Blake (pulls corner of mouth down) " Barfines girls these days" (shrugs)"

[cantona]

What did you do? pray tell!

Foked off out to the karaoke with me mates coz she was bein' moody - you can picture what hapenned when I got home
