Today I've been mostly drinking....milk


Much better than Corona

Top tip 1 - You wouldn't get indigestion and need to drink milk if you didn't eat those spicy crisps.

Top tip 2 - Take a Rennie and drink beer

Top Tip 3 - Ask Hal

That's good for 2 bottles.

Culinary expertise very much in evidence there.

Anyone who finds those packaged chips spicy shouldn’t eat chilli.

You two numpties obviously haven't sampled that new flavour of Walkers crisps

Wimps like you are the reason it's not advisable to take a Thai to a 'Thai' restaurant in the UK.

Not as spicy as a Thai 10 chilli somtam, but you don't need jalapeños with those crisps

Weird how wine is so much cheaper in Australia than beer. On the Aussie side of the ditch it isn’t difficult to find a 750ml bottle of drinkable wine for AU$4.00 - AU$6.00 while beer is something like AU$60 a slab.

Now there are some happy memories.

I am on the red this week. Took a fake Hardy's Cabernet down to the beach to watch Venus sparkling her jewels at sunset.

It does not really contain Hardy's Cabernet. Instead it contains some of the wine from one of the bottles my sister gave me for my birthday in 2023. I can't scarf a whole bottle these days so I tip the rest into empty Qantas miniatures to quaff al fresco.

Chinese couple were getting married

I was curious as to what the dark grey-green wedding dress was for. Maybe no vestal virgin, I'll hazard a guess? Quite fetching though.

Things got a bit racy under the peachy glow to the west.

Nice V-Dub

Must be worth a few bob.

Choices....choices.

Chicken Cock? Haven't heard of that one before.

Me neither. Didn't even consider it. Was looking for Templeton Rye.

In Kanchanaburi there's a tiny bar which sells 10 baht shots from bottles of god knows what. I noticed one of the bottles labeled Black Cock.

That Black Cock is pretty common in most supermarkets in Thailand.

Never tried it myself but Cyrille swears by it after a few cheeky cheers beers.

I reckon it's a euphemism..

F#ck me, you must have spent some time looking that up.

What a splendidly original joke, as always.

It also comes in red

You've been here twice on holiday in the last 20 years, right.

He's not wrong though is he

Absolutely not.

The point is it's akin to you or I going onto a UK forum for lower income families and telling them about Aldi's yellow sticker specials.


Snub will chime in next with advice about Thai culture.

He's got to finish up on police tactics in Birmingham first.

You're sounding a bit agitated today bud.

Best brew up a Pot Pourri tea

That stuff, whatever it is, is on shelves in Tesco. Never looked at what it is and would give it a pass if someone offered me a pour.

Out of curiosity I did look to see what Chicken Cock Bourbon was and from their claim they are the oldest whiskey distiller, I know of The Famous Old Brand Whiskey. As noted from their web page

Known as "The Famous Old Brand," Chicken Cock is one of the oldest American whiskey brands. Established in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky our whiskey has reclaimed its rightful place among the best heritage American whiskey. Today, Chicken Cock is proudly crowing again!

Likewise, I'm unlikely to buy a bottle of Black Cock, but if someone offered me a pour I'd drink it at least to be polite.
