It's all a bit of a let down is our buddy system.
You can tell it was invented by dirtydog. When your birthday comes around all your 'buddies' get a nice little pm reminding them that they should do the right thing and buy their 'buddy' a drink or six!
Now if you're on the 'super buddy' list you get invited to a happy bar on soi yodsak for a night's frivolities and imbibement, care of the TeakDoor slush fund.
So far it's just me and the dog but we're looking for new candidates to join us.
Do you think 100k is too much to ask to join an exclusive club?
