    8 days without a beer in dry JanFebruary.

    But KW's pics are making me jealous and I've just watched 90 minutes of utter shite.

    I don't think we're gonna make day 9.

    Happy now, Chits?

    Willy has these copper cups too for his pool. I just don't get drinking alcohol from vessels other than glassware. Part of the pleasure is swirling your beverage round the glass and watching the ripples and swirls and eddies in the colours of your concoction with anticipation.

    Top-ups from a leftover bottle rarely results in uniformly full skittles so always have a goonbag on hand for the last one

    You want full skittles as the purpose of decanting is to eliminate oxygen contact as well as to aid beach consumption convenience.

    ^I have not let standards slip to the depths of sucking straight from the goon-bag yet, Mike.

    But there is plenty of time yet!

    The Qantas beach skittles lend a solo wine picnic a thin veneer of public consumption respectability I think.

    With a push bike and a camel back nobody can question your commitment to exercise

    The bag can be reinflated after it's been drained to provide a comfortable pillow for snoozing off under the mid day sun.

    I like to think wine in a box was where getting bladdered came from.

    Are you only drinking in the hotel bar, Willy?

    Maybe it's a good idea, actually. Too many dickheads in London and too much knife crime.

    More a case of not keeping up with the photos. This bar was good too.

    I'm on it now anyway so might post up some of my pints from the UK over Christmas/NY (if TD allows)!

    Great fucking draught Guinness in the UK.

    In fact, here's one from when we were drowning our sorrows after the United v Newcastle game in this proper boozer: Grey Horse | Hydes - Exceptional Hospitality

    Fortunately, there is a kebab shop next door and, after a shite game, the closing times are "fluid."

    Had a conference last week in London and was keeping Chitty entertained with my photos of free food and beer for the three days.

    He liked them.



    Went out on the last day with my missus and this was my last ale on home soil for the next few months, but the Thai moo grob we had in there was actually decent, which makes a bloody change (even for London).

    What are you drinking today?-pint-jpeg


    Is there a food that travels as poorly as decent Thai does? This place served up good stuff, but it's such a rarity and I loathe paying 15 quid for something I can get much better for 80 baht on the streets of Bangkok.

    Ok, a few more.

    Went down to Borough Market last Saturday for a couple of pork pies and some cheddar.

    What are you drinking today?-cheese-jpeg


    What are you drinking today?-pies-jpeg


    Spent 16 quid on 300 grammes of Red Leicester (couldn't even snort it ) and 17 quid on a pork pie and a pork pie with stilton.

    Retired to the pub to consider the next steps.

    Never did get the cheddar.

    Chitty, is she one of yours?

    You seem to have a better social life than I, Dirk... because 5 minutes later I had a Saturday night tipple meself, but no pool table.

    And apologies to all, I tried my best but have realised that if you look carefully, just to the right of the Singha Lion, Yogi's left testicle had slipped into view.



    I don't think that I've ever needed to renew a passport as badly as this.
    The pool table belongs to my Landlord/housemate's work mate. He's practically a pro player and is off to the European Championships in Malta next month.

    He comes round a few times a week to practice and of over 100 games we've played I've only beat him 6 times.

    On Saturday, I showed him my technique to pot a ball 9/10 times on the break and he has fully adopted my method.

    And that's what I'm going to tell everyone when he wins in Malta!


    Have you considered applying a 2nd passport?

    It like a national sport in Malta.

    Every pub has a pool team and they take it quite seriously.

    It's my second passport that needs renewing. To be honest, two ain't enough but that's all I can get.

    Still, now that they demand offshore medicals every six months I am covered for regular Bangkok visits.



    I wouldn't say that I've stuck rigidly to 'Dry January' but I have pretty much stopped drinking altogether. I just have the one beer or cider of an evening, with maybe just one or two nips of Ya Dong.

    Damp January.



    I don't know about February, but I forecast just a 'Moist March'.

    #prayformendipandhisliver
    Strangely enough Nev, this Ya Dong isn't very strong at all, I reckon no stronger than maybe a fortified wine... 16 or 18% maybe? It's certainly nothing like a proper whisky but just tastes so bad it feels stronger.

    Anyway, time for a refill.
