^ I was being a bit tongue in cheek to be honest, with all these constant Buddha holidays that the school ignores.

But thanks, anyway.

**Edmond** · 12-10-2022, 09:40 PM

More than welcome.

75 baht for a pint of 5.3% that tastes of marmalade and no acid reflux... what's not to like?

Bloody sideways glitch.

started with a few IPAs (this was a new one I had not tried before. It’s ok, but not my favourite. Moved onto some leffe for dinner and finished with one of those whiskeys (can’t remember which one).

That's your 5 a day in a bottle, very nice.

How long did it take to mature and how strong is it?

I'm furious that I still have to work. I wanted to ̶S̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶p̶a̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶T̶e̶l̶e̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ spend time contemplating life and paying my respects.

I waited about a month.

My daughter had a sip, crinkled her nose and said, "Dad, that's too strong." I take it that it was a job well done.

**happynz** · 13-10-2022, 03:07 PM

Proper glass for wine. Classy, innit.

No need, if I want a beer glass I’ll buy it.

Closely followed by De-balled December.

I don't want to even think about January... it was always a slow month, even back in the day.

Yeah yeah, show-off!

Just to show that we're not complete heathens in Isaan... I drink my Ya Dong from a Highland Park bottle at the weekends, and on special holidays as I've recently discovered.

It does make a satisfying 'boinggg' noise when you pull out the cork, but it still tastes the same.

That sound is rewarding. Especially on a new bottle while you let the whiskey aroma smell out just before you pour it. Of course...Ya dong......is well, Ya dong. There is no barrel finish and it still makes one do that "Shiver Face" as you quickly reach for the bottle of goat piss to wash it all down.

Today was a bit of a shocker. I drank 5 or so yesterday working on the pond thing. Thought to myself....I will just go do a restock tomorrow before I start planting some new shrubs. As I nodded off for the night, I realized SHIT...Buddha nonsense. That's all I had when I went for a beer today at lunch after I had dug holes and was sweating my ass off .

**Mendip** · 13-10-2022, 06:26 PM

^ Nothing to do with Buddha mate... you haven't been paying attention.

Edmond is the 'Go to' for all Thai holidays. He'll put you right.

**DrWilly** · 13-10-2022, 08:23 PM

A sad sight

Turned out I had a bunch of pals in BKK so there was a crowd of 7 of us out. I'd only had 3 hours sleep but that didn't matter cos it started snowing at one point. Don't remember getting home.

Got on it again at lunch time, roughest flight home, looking forward to my own bed. Mrs texts me when I'm in the taxi home 'Go to the bar, I'll pick you up there.'

Straight to the bar and it's heaving cos of the bank holiday next day. One dickhead pulls out a bag of mushrooms he bought off his daughter. I ate 3 tiny mushroom to shut him up thinking nothing would happen, since they were eating handfuls. Next thing I know I'm tripping pretty good for a few hours. Face still hurts from laughing so much.

Anyway it's Friday, Training starts on Monday.
