Good to see you have survived another day and what's more seem to have retained your sense of humour.
With those gross feet of yours and the tossers on here teasing you with food pictures,...

Very nice, well done. It is looking fantastic and seems like you are enjoying it and are happy with it so well done.
Do the dogs go swimming voluntarily or do you have to make them jump in?

I don't think they will give you a knife as looking ahead to 14 days in solitary you might slash your wrist, better to just jump off the balcony (how high up are you by the way).

As for...

I ain't blind so it was a rhetorical question with a hint of sarcasm but you might have missed that. I bet Mendip didn't.

Throughout this thread there have been numerous posts about him not having...

Welcome back to Thailand.
I hope you have your jumper on as its been a bit cool here lately.

Yeah but I bet they (the grandkids) are not 27.

My sister in law (late 40's) has a grand daughter who is 17.

Here's how i see it.

Man A marries Woman A and they have a daughter B

Daughter B marries and has a daughter C.

Woman A dies and Man A marries Woman D.

If Man A is 67 and Woman A (now...

I hope you weren't referring to me but if you were and I will admit my initial guess was a bit frivolous so here is my "serious" guess.

Through the door at 16:50

My guess is 15.15 January 11th 2022.

My last night will be spent again dining alone while trying to finish up the last of my cider and wine box. It'd be a shame to waste it!

And not one to blow my own trumpet, but to...

There is a saying that laughter is the best medicine so thank you Dr Mendip for a dose of the best medicine!
I can't remember the last time I laughed so much.

Good luck with the test.

No need for one there's only 8 days to go.

As is their right to do so.

I am sure their have been plenty of political deaths in countries that are not Communist.

I believe it is not necessarily the political doctrine but just human...

Mendip I feel for you as I had a similar experience once in Singapore when having an MRI.
I had had them before and no issue but this time I got all the way in but then couldn't handle "it" whatever...

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you. I hope everything works out well for you and you make safely back here.
Try not to get too emotional tomorrow when you speak to your daughter you will...

Mendip
You have probably said already in a previous post why you planned to fly home in February, I think it was so you could go and see your Mum.
But if it were me I get out of Sweden and back to...

Mendip I agree with David here (not the rest of his moan) and find it hard to understand your dislike of "public transport".
Surely when you go to Singapore you use their underground rail system it...

Interesting that someone her is saying that this poster is made by someone who doesn't get statistics, I reckon it has nothing to do with statistics but more to do with comparing facts.

I had an American friend who used to eat at the mesh same as me when I was working in Indonesia who, when asked "What's the food like?" would reply, "It'll make a turd!"
So I guess you, at least,...

You do realise that when you eventually get back to Korat things won't be the same after all the time that has elapsed.
Your digs will all bark at you and want to bite you.
Your daughter...

Mendip replied

^ Go for it David, I'm intrigued...

But just so you know, I'm not buying any more socks! :)


SO

I don't give a rats arse about what anyone thinks of me.
If they (Thai's) have a laugh at my expense then that's OK by me as I certainly do laugh at some of the things they do and believe.

In the picture above, have you thought about using a plank of a different colour (sorry for the spelling) for the short bits on the outer edge nearest to the house I think it would make it...

For me personally I don't believe that I should force my beliefs onto anyone so I would only ever say, "I don't think it is right to do that" and then leave it up to them to decide what they want to...

JPPR2
Couldn't you get the planks long enough to cover the width along the side of the pool in one piece?

I would use the offset design shown above if it were up to me.

Can you post a close up...

I can't believe you even asked the question as you have been living here for some time now and should know better.

Do something special for yourself and instead of chicken for Christmas day order in a Hooker and get yourself laid!!!

The magnificent feeling might not last long but it would be worth it....

Mendip
I think your boy (above) must have snuck up to my place as I recently hatched 12 chickens and every one of them is black.
Bit suspicious to me.

Does that mean you are going to take a day off? Or are you going shopping after work?

Don't forget to buy some nice warm socks that don't have holes in them.

Did you investigate buying...

I think it is actually the hand sanitiser spray more than the Epsom salts but it seems to have worked.
I never did see anything that might have been an abscess or any swelling / redness in...

Mendip
Just change the socks to the other foot then the holes will be on the outside i.e. no problem

OK I apologise for calling you a miser but I am now gonna say you are totally daft.

That looks mighty fine and not a bottle of sauce in sight. I think I could really enjoy eating that.
Well done you're finally being a bit adventurous by foregoing the fish and chips with...

There is still time for you to take Friday off and to enjoy some sunshine!

While I admire your desire to do the right thing by your heroic plant it is also easy to be a problem.

I know you lived in Perth so did you ever ask for "Durex" while there.
You might have got a shock if you did.
We Aussie's call sticky/Scotch tape "Durex".

No need for the thanks I did nothing.

What i would like to know is what did you or should I say Missy do to solve the problem?

Its good to know you are still alive and kicking.

All I can do to help is wish you the best and hope the test result is negative.
If it is you might want to exit Sweden ASAP but where to go to that is the question!
I was wondering why you...

This must be one of those "re-education schools" that the Government use so often to teach people to be obedient and not to argue with authority.
