Nice.

Any chance of a pic of the view? I think you're condo's along the river down by Saphan Taksin? High enough to be above the mosquito zone I presume.

Must be a lovely view along the river and across to Thonburi. Would be nice to see. I doubt there's many stalkers with the capability to do harm on here.

your asking a gay bloke for a view from his balcony?

ooh you are awful

**Luigi** · 22-04-2017, 06:39 PM

I ain't a fussy guy.

well above mosquitoes, flies, lizards, roaches and the usual ground-level plagues: the river view is magnificent...compares favorably with the glittering urban view of Manhattan from the New Jersey side across the Hudson River...with a bit of a squint...

**Luigi** · 22-04-2017, 10:31 PM

I'm squinting here, but still can't see it.

**tomcat** · 22-04-2017, 10:36 PM

just as well...the ENTMaanaam yak prowls the area after dark...

**ENT** · 22-04-2017, 10:44 PM

and the tomcat gets fwkd by dogs, before taking a balcony dive...

**tomcat** · 22-04-2017, 10:46 PM

...^^^see? the ENTMaanaam yak seeks out the lurid, licentious and vile...and takes pics for later...

**ENT** · 22-04-2017, 10:52 PM

Nope, just waiting to hear the news of your balcony dive.

**tomcat** · 22-04-2017, 11:04 PM

...and salivates, drooling on dark streets and waiting...waiting...

On the other side.

Trappist Quadrupel. Lovely treacly nose lets that monster 10% ABV slip in under the radar. Those mad monks must get on some cracking benders up at the monastery.

^ A very nice tipple to watch Hacksaw Ridge and play with your planes that.

**crackerjack101** · 25-04-2017, 11:08 PM

Nothing today.
It's the "off day".

**Looper** · 25-04-2017, 11:24 PM

A nice quaff while watching the 16" guns on the USS Missouri unloading on the Japanese tunnel fortifications

Tried out that U beer, i like it, a bit like corona. My new weapon of choice

Sorry for the shitty quality photo - I have a shitty quality mobile phone camera...

I drink a little red wine, keep the old ticker in good shape.

I bought this bottle of French Cabernet Sauvignon today at the supermarket in Naypyidaw (Myanmar). 9,900 MMK ==> 252 Thai baht.

Got it home, peeled off the seal and fcuk... it has a cork.

I have no cork screw. The only practical way to drink the wine is to push the cork into the bottle.

So I look in my room for something suitable to push the cork in with, and settled on the metal end of my umbrella, perfect!

I put the bottle on the floor, clamped between my feet in case it suddenly moves, place the umbrella tip on the top of the cork and PUSH.

Unfortunately, the cork slid rapidly into the bottle with such force that about 20% of the red wine sprayed all around the room, covering white sheets, my clean clothes, laptop etc.

Fcuk, fcuk, fcuk!!! Run around, cleaning everything up, and then have to do the trick of pushing the cork down into the bottle with a fork so that I can pour out the wine into a glass. More wine all over the place.

Finally got my act together. The wine is mediocre at best.....

Corkscrew added to my shopping list, (I'll be damn lucky if I can buy a corkscrew in Naypyidaw).

Try a straw Simon.

**Simon43** · 29-04-2017, 08:46 PM

Try a straw Simon.

Sorry, suppose I should be posting links about how to clean red wine off bedsheets, clothes and laptops.

You can push the cork in with your finger/thumb. Done that a few times without losing a drop.

More control than an umbrella!
