Anna the dog

[Mendip]

^ You have a good memory.

Anna ain't that old, but she is a bit moody. Not that I'm condoning sexual violence but it was never confirmed whether it was Max or Yogi who attacked Anna, or whether the motive was indeed sexual, and she's Ok with both of them now. It could have been just a normal dog squabble over food or something.

And you have been quite liberal with the facts... it was mainly circumstantial evidence, to be honest. The gardener has no alibi.

Your new timetable doesn't seem to include any morning runs? Don't you have to clip some tickets or something instead of dragging up old events from Isaan?

It all starts off as Handsom man during the honeymoon period , then 5 months later...Farang white bird shit kee niow kee nok

You had a good run. Five months!

^^ Yogi has that je ne sais quoi that is hard to explain, unless you are similarly blessed. All the girls love him and he does OK for himself.

As for me, I just have a large wallet

Like most white men in Thiland.

Whatchu looking at?



This lovely girl has taken to waiting outside our back gate every day to join us on the morning dog walks. She looks well fed so must have a home, of sorts, otherwise...



She's good buddies with Lola's outside family and very sociable...



... and submissive, which helps. She's very similar to Maya in both looks and mannerisms. The lab or retriever is showing through.

[Molle]

She's good buddies with with Lola's outside family and very sociable...

You shouldn't ask her what the girls in Paris do..

[Mendip]

^ I must have frequented the wrong arrondissements as I never witnessed any behaviour like that on my visits.

More's the pity... I do like a French accent on a woman.


But anyway, the dogs were well confused today... we had a surprise visitor and it wasn't even December 25th!

But don't worry, it was only Ootai.



Ootai is an Aussie mining engineer... and yet despite that the dogs appear to like him. Go figure?

And like his Doppelganger, Ootai came bearing gifts... two Singapore Airline spoons were gratefully received!

Our elderly neighbour obviously got a bit confused by everything as well... she gave him a high Wai when he departed.

Mind you, she is a bit simple.

[Mendip]

It ain't as stiflingly hot and humid as it was back in April, but Korat seems to be staying awfully hot this year... or maybe I'm just less tolerant these days.

We're still getting mid to upper 30s every day.

Anna was going to wear her Harry Kane outfit yesterday but it was just too hot.



I think Lola would be more of a... I've forgotten his name now, he was a new player to me. That young guy with the ridiculous man bun who came on as sub.

Know who you mean, but his name has slipped me also.

Dives a lot

[cyrille]

Connor Gallagher.

Haven't noticed him being any worse than others for diving.

[Mendip]

^ That's the one. I've never heard of him before but to be fair I don't pay close attention. I still find myself wondering why they don't play Gascoigne up front.


Anyway, Euro Madness has descended on Korat and to celebrate, Anna suggested a 'guess the Euro footballer' competition. Owed Greens or even actual Greens on offer, as usual.

As it's her thread, Anna went first. And as if anyone needed a clue... how do you say 'no' in German?




Next up was Tommy. A profile shot to give a clue... you don't see many conks like that the right side of the English Channel.



Tommy currently sports a nasty injury on his right knee... but this famous Euro footballer has a recent injury somewhere else on his body.

[malmomike77]

It's quite obviously Jack Gwealish and Kiling M Bapped

[Edmond]

Jack Gwealish

And as if anyone needed a clue... how do you say 'no' in German?

Isn't it 'Nine!' Harry Kane?



Good one with the bandages.

[Mendip]

It's quite obviously Jack Gwealish and Kiling M Bapped

Nein, Jack Gwealish ist nicht richtig, but a Green for the Frenchman.

Or should it be a 'vert', which is also a nasty mushroom disease.

No need to cry Kylian, it's only a broken nose...

Isn't it 'Nine!' Harry Kane?

Ja vohl, naturlich!

The unmistakable Harry Kane, with his sandy blonde hair, neatly trimmed beard and nummer 'Neun' shirt.



Here's hoping that he's match fit on Thursday and gets some better service.

It has to be said he wasn't looking too trim today in training, although it's only the Danes, of course...

^ Damn, but you're good Helge, not even your first language either!

If I could grøn you, I would.


But anyway, I happenstanced across a bit of dog role play today.

Yogi was obviously the pale, Anglo-saxon 'England', standing dominant over Lola's submissive, red-haired 'Denmark'.

This says 2-0 to England to me, and if I had an online account I'd have a wager as such.

[DrWilly]

Good luck with that.
