Anyway, tonight I sat with Anna under her fan for my evening tipple. I'm down to 1 Leo and a couple of Ya Dong shots a night just now... a 50% reduction. How easy is that? This dieting is so easy.
It wasn't only for the fan... Anna has lost her mojo and I'm spending a lot of time with her. Maya beat Anna up a couple of times, which has to happen I guess, but Anna is just not happy.
I sit with her in the evenings and apply Allo Vera to her scars (which seem to have flared up a bit recently). A far cry from my evenings in Soi 4 last week.

But despite my best conversation she's still not herself... a penny for your thoughts, Anna?
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...2&d=1651405528
I guess on the streets she was her own boss and wasn't bullied and bitten by big younger bitches or constantly sexually harassed by most probably the ugliest soi dog in Thailand:)
Poor thing:)
^ I have to agree, Yogi ain't the most handsome of fellows but he is honest as the day is long and does have a certain charm.
Much like meself, to be honest.
^ Do you tell Maya off when she attacks Anna or stay out of it?
I'm no Cesar Milan but surely if you step in and give her one over the snout with one of your Jesus creepers every time she went for her, it would stop her bullying?
^ Yeah, Maya has had a couple of right bollockings when she's attacked Anna. I'm also no Cesar Milan and I reckon there must be some balance between leaving them to get on with it and stepping in. I know that I tend to micro-manage, but after all, I'm supposedly the pack leader.
Anna needs to understand she's now a member of a pack but Maya also needs to understand that I won't tolerate bullying. And she has had a couple over the snout with my plastic 'slippers'. Not my leather sandals of course, they're top quality and quite hard.
It's a minefield.

Had high hopes for the San Mig Wheat beer when it came out.
San Mig. Weizen style. 5.4%
Unfortunately they just didn't pull it off.
I now remember why it took a year to buy it for a second time. :)
Cheers Topper!

I almost bought a 6er of it to give it a try. Still time left. I bought a different Pilsner which was about a 6 or 7 on my taste scale. Wouldn't buy it again. I posted a pic of what I bought in my travel thread.Quote:

Even after more than 30 years of doing this offshore shit I still hate the night before I go back to work. It's not so much the job, it's the travel that kills it for me these days. Still, only another 8 or 9 years to go... hopefully...
The wife is engrossed in the usual Sunday afternoon fare of absolute shite on the telly, the daughter's on Minecraft, so it's just me and the dogs. I still worry about Anna.
For my last night I thought I'd spoil meself with a couple of bottles of Leo and a small snifter of the Gardener's finest. I've got half a bag of Mont Clair to go with a steak and kidney pie later.
Living the dream.

Fucking hell, put them all to work on cleaning duty. Just look at the filth on the side of that door handle. Stumps back me up here. I am handing off the torch. :)
^ That's not filth mate, that's just general grime, stains and termite damage. To be fair this is in the 'workshop', not a living area.
I'd like to show you a pic of the inside of our house but I'll check for filth first! :)
^heading back already mate? Are the breaks usually this short?
^ Yeah mate, the time has flown.
I freelance so usually have no regular rota, but with taking the littl'un over to UK for the summer I wanted another trip in before my break. It was all working out nicely before my next trip in a couple of weeks started looking doubtful so I've taken this instead. They say 3 weeks... plus weather, plus breakdown... I'm hoping for 5, that would be perfect.
Well that all works out then, Godspeed!Quote:

GOTCHA!
6 quid for a sixer here. 7.40 of your American bucks I believe. Topper wherever you are, chime in with a price comparison would you.
There is something about this green and gold I really love, slightly reminiscent of the old Lotus colours.

Designed during the early cold war for under-the-radar low-flying attacks on Russian carriers it was the last big carrier jet the Fleet Air Arm fielded before they down-sized to the Harrier, after the F-111 fell through.

And to its left is the Hawker Hunter which famously flew under Tower Bridge in London in a 1-man rogue pilot protest at the lack of official recognition of the 50th anniversary of the birth of the RAF. I bet that racket put the wind up some Westminster fart-pipes
That famous incident occurred right about the time I won a life or death cut throat 6 inch swimming race against 100 million competitors; the 50th anniversary of which was also celebrated recently and also in a modest and low-key style
Hawker Hunter Tower Bridge incident - Wikipedia
Unfortunately it was before the age of the ubiquitous mobile phone and security camers so here is a Nigel-esque rendition

and a CGI job
Attachment 86411
Hawker Hunter mate, class aircraft right there. it was sadly blighted by that prat of a pilot who crashed one at the Shoreham airshow. Nice Art Deco airport Shoreham, if you haven't been I would advise going. Really nice driving around there as well. One of the last trips I did with my grandfather who was in the RAF.

Nice one loops and BC!
From the 1920s, Croydon Airport, built in a neoclassical style. Hard to believe it was for a long time the UK's only international airport.Quote:

Amazingly the vintage Skyhawks are still in service with the Argentine Air Force today.
The Harriers are also still in service with the USMC amongst others.
The Skyhawk also saw service down under, as seen to the right. The Aussie Navy adopted a later model than the Argies but went cheap and dumped the Avionics hump-back package.
This 46% Loch Lomond single malt packs a bit of a kick.
And before Stumpy chimes in, no I do not have a problem with ants. Each of my liqueured whisky bottles stands in its own individual bowl of water which affords a protective mot-moat.
Do they need it? I just close the lid and make sure not to spill any when I pour it

Having had some decent English beer for a change, I am back to pils again. Nowhere near the same level of hoppy flavour as English.
Now that I have started I think I really need to do a retrospective of retro-jets of the Royal Navy Fleet Air ArmQuote:

Followed by the famous 40s/50s DeHavilland Vampire with the twin boom (also flown by the French Navy).
The similar straight wing but larger twin boom 50s DeHavilland Vampire was a 2 seater
DeHavilland loved their twin boom designs and brought out the huge Sea Vixen (centre) as their larger design in this mold.
The Sea Vixen was followed by the already featured monster Blackburn Buccaneer which gave way to a downsize in design back to the long serving Hawker Harrier.

Back on topic I am drinking my Cuarenta-y-tres from a funky little toilet bowl glass. You can suck your drink through the straw handle or blow bubbles to get the liqueur aroma in the toilet bowl.
Nice one Loops!
Keeping with the theme, can you identify the planes in the background to todays drink pic?
Also theres a captains hat in there..
Attachment 86700
They look very nice Joe and I am surprised they have not fallen prey to drunken pub-pilfering in the past, a-la glass under the jumper stylee, although you would need something baggier than your sky-blue Harrington to pull off that raid.
That isn't Prag in the next stall is it? He has been MIA for a while.
