"I'm off to wash the car" is practically code word for "I'm away to get shitfaced I'll be home in time for the school run on Monday"

my local wash shop can wash and wax my bike for 150 baht and the can inside and out for 200 baht.

Im talking about that full foam spray shit, then 8 people coming around and hand cleaning every square millimeter then drying and waxing the fucker in no more than 40 mins while I sit in my bar and catch up on Sky Sports News.

How much time do you spend on this shit?

Fucked if I'm letting Somchai the Car Wash Guy smear grit from a dirty mitt all over my paintwork. Have a close look at all those swirl marks on your car.

And also this...

...other than the dogs (but only cos I don't have any)

Detailing and cleaning a car takes a brain, for sure.

It does look like fun. I washed my car exactly once last year. That is the beauty of silver cars. You can't see the dirt until they are caked.

For my latest impulse buy the New Years Honours List has been unveiled and Hans-Ulrich is proud to present Greta and Ingrid with the Blue Max for being a proper little pair of champion Nazi Party minxs

The Pour Le Merite medal was nicknamed in honour of Max Immelman who was the first aviator to be awarded the honour.

It was also won during WW1 by an exclusive list including Manfred Von Richthofen, Erwin Rommel and Herman Goering

The German award has a French name as it was instituted in 1740 when French was the the preferred civilised language of the Prussian court

Greta and Ingrid must have done something special to be awarded the prestigious Blue Max!

That's the British equivalent of the VC!

I bet Keeping up the moral of the German Army is not all they keep up

^Manfred von Richthofen pulled a few cunning stunts in his red Fokker D1 to earn the Blue Max

I don't know what derring-do Greta and Ingrid got up to to earn their nominations, but Hans-Ulrich looks like he could tell a story or two about their no-holes-barred heroic deeds...

We'll see how long this lasts before I fuck my back getting it on the roofracks, get a frozen shoulder from paddling or fall off and drown/ eaten by shark...

^ Be careful of any TD stalkers who live around the Bibra Lake area.

Looks alright actually and there are other models if you scroll down the listing.

Thanks for the link. Not sure my Neanderthal brain is ready for a battery driven canoe.

comes with oars though. I think the motor would be handy if a current keeps drifting you away from the middle of the fish pond.

I am sure many of the trolling motors have built in GPS and you can set them to maintain your position when you are fishing

and dirks canoe might only be a meter in length if he is buying it from lazada

Thank you. The ‘Canadian’ is the closest to what I’m looking for.

Well......Not yet... On the fence still. Wife will definitely be up in arms about it. She already says I have way too many "Hobbies" as it is now. It will probably require me giving her some "Spending" money to avoid the tongue lashing........Gold maybe?

^How much is one of those roughly?

Treated myself to a waterproof bomber jacket for doing the garden up, only £20.




Your names not down, you're not getting in!

You sure it didn't say bummers jacket?


You off to that City bar, The Blue Oyster?

Shouldn't you be in bed now with that 4am start tomorrow?
