Anna the dog

[DrWilly]

Drunk picture posting?

But you should be lucky to get called an Aussie. Mange works too

[Mendip]

Nah, not at all.

Fast moving dogs in the dark. Phone cameras are pretty awful in bad light with a flash.

[david44]

As the Cyno-Thai say Assort n Ruggery,

Lovely oix , whose that big bloke following you around tho?

For a brief spel in 181 I was so famous my stalker had a stalker.

Lovely pix and happy hounds

[malmomike77]

lets hope Ange Mendicoglu's team doesn't let me down tonight, i've gone large on them to smash the potters

came through for me yesterday, thanks Mendip

[Reg Dingle]

^ I see the leapfrog is still on, albeit with around 10 teams in contention now

The compliments fly, but Ok then, still better than calling me an Aussie.

I thought Ange was more Greek than Aussie and looked like some cross between Stavros, George Michael and Barry Humphries.

Do you ever find yourself masturbating in front of men in unlocked communal outbuildings whilst hankering for a pint of Fosters and a Kebab?

[Mendip]

^ No I don't.

Maybe we've just had different upbringings?

[DrWilly]

This thread has taken a disturbing turn

[Reg Dingle]

^^ I'll take you off this Summer's party invite lists ,then eh?

[Mendip]

^ Oh no, I'm sorry. Please keep me on the list...


This morning I took Tem a chewy bone treat for Valentine's Day and he had the most unusual reaction.



He dropped it on the grass and then started rolling on it while making a groaning noise. I've never before seen such a strong reaction to a chewy bone treat and his pleasure was a joy to see.



And then he picked it up in his mouth and ran off into the undergrowth.

Here is a very Shutree-esque picture of him settling down to enjoy his bone.



Today I also solved the mystery of the morning wet patch.

I noticed that after ruffling Tem behind the ears, on embarking the school minibus the daughter leans out of the door and washes her hands off using her water bottle. She must do this every day but I had never really noticed before.

This was quite a relief to be honest, as after so much time spent in Isaan I was starting to worry that I had started to take public pisses without it even registering.



Tem's daughter also had a chewy bone treat for Valentine's Day!

[david44]

Seeing
This ole man
Give a dogger bone,

I feel a song coming on

[Mendip]

^ I love the old traditionals.


I'm not usually one for melancholy, but the daughter's stayed out tonight after school with her mates and won't be back until 9ish, and this has given me a very real taste of what life in Isaan may be like after she starts boarding... and it ain't all that long away.

I mean, wtf will I talk to in the evenings? And that's 'who', not 'what'.

But luckily enough it's Valentine's Day today, and here's my true Valentine.

We don't need these pathetic annual cards or trinkets, heart-shaped garlic breads (God forbid!!!) or false chatter.

The true bond of love needs none of that.

Happy Valentine's Day, Anna.

Your look says it all.

Every single day I see your lovely face makes me happy that we gave you a home.



But of course I don't have only one Valentine... the lovely Lola has already received her present, and I spent some time with Coco earlier.



And of course Maya, the boss. She spends all day with me for some unfathomable reason...

But I love the company.



I just love these dogs, so much easier than humans.

[hallelujah]

I just love these dogs, so much easier than humans.

Apart from when they try to bite your ankles off.

[Reg Dingle]

I love the old traditionals

Happy Valentine's Day, Anna.

Your look says it all.

Every single day I see your lovely face makes me happy that we gave you a home.

Hmmm, there's only one Dylan Thomas, but I'll try and help...


Roses are red
Cardiff are blue
The wife's gone 'upcountry'
And I'm as popular as Postecoglu

[malmomike77]

and this has given me a very real taste of what life in Isaan may be like after she starts boarding... and it ain't all that long away.

well she won't be around to see you acting disgracefully so take the opportunity to take a leaf out of Thais books and start chasing women half your age, get in the local Tawan Deng to ease yourself into the scene and before you know it you could be sharing a new woman in your life

[Edmond]

women half your age

Amateurs.

Indeedio, the unconditional love of a dog is priceless.

I've been looking at training up puppies for the blind recently, no long term commitment. Just puppy fun!

Tbf I've had enough of long term commitments, I'm quite happy finishing work and chilling with a beer watching television .

No more appeasing a Ting Tong Thai wife, after 18 years of that nonsense life is a breeze.

Tbf i did make an effort today to spread some Valentine's commercialisation joy, I acquired a couple of bunches of yellow sticker red roses.

The first bunch went to a single 60 year old rocker babe who has a small farm and has been providing me with nutritious duck eggs, she told me to fvvk off flat out in the nicest possible way. Tbf I think she appreciated that it was a bit of fun and not a serious gesture.
The second bunch went to a 35yo hotty who doesn't know she's hot and thinks she's on the shelf. She too appreciated the gesture and took it with the a pinch of salt and a laugh.

To quote an old Queensland blacksmiths saying " it pays to have many irons in the fire".

[david44]

Like you double club 18-30 and you have 35-60 , its a zoo out there

[Reg Dingle]

^^ I think you may have lost him at 60yo duck woman telling you to fuck off...but what do I know

[Joe 90]

Worryingly Fvck off means the opposite oop north.

35-60 club is all the rage nowadays!

All the 18-30 clubbers are in the gym.

How times have changed, every fooker wants to grow old disgracefully apart from me.
I just want a quiet life.
However, I am being dragged out to a Northern Soul night tomorrow to kick start my two week holiday.
I fear I may have to get my tackle out and see what bites.

[Joe 90]

She did actually say to me" do you prefer a quack or a cluck?"
I said " do I fvck!"

She said" gobble, gobble, gobble "

This is the stimulating conversation I have to put up with!

Still I'm sure Mendy wouldn't mind a bit of gobble instead of gobbledegook.

[DrWilly]

JFC

oh my.

[Shutree]

Here is a very Shutree-esque picture of him settling down to enjoy his bone.

You flatter me.

[Mendip]

Indeedio, the unconditional love of a dog is priceless.

Ain't it just.

Maya joined me for my Valentine's night dinner. It just wasn't the same with the daughter out for the night.



A Korat Chef chicken and ham pie floater with a heart-shaped garnish of tomato sauce.



Followed by a Korat Chef triple choc cheesecake!

Would that be real gold?

Still I'm sure Mendy wouldn't mind a bit of gobble

That may be so, but this is a family thread and it needs getting back on track.

The mighty Bristol City are away at Cardiff as we speak.

It's 0-0 at half time, so City have only the second half to make my 0-2 prediction.

Actually, I've downgraded my prediction to 0-1 to The Robins. That's still three points and enough to get us in the top six play-off zone.



A confident start by City but the groundsman should be shot!



Well that didn't take long. The bloody Welsh start fighting among themselves while City just look on.



Oh wow... this awful behaviour will test even the fair playing Bristol City.



Blatant ear-pulling. Come on ref!



City try not to react to the dirty, cheating Welsh. Many off the ball incidents going unpunished.



Come on City! The ref must be blind.



Ha! Finally City reach the limit and snap, and take control. They are only human after all.



A bit of good, old-fashioned collar choking should sort this feisty taff out.



And there we have it. City win the skirmish and keep possession.



Cardiff 0-1 Bristol City.

No problem.

[Reg Dingle]

Oh dear..A 90th minute heartbreaker.
