    555...As the Aussies say things are finally on the up swing... After 8+ years of promises they are finally building a blacktop road past our farm. Not sure about the concrete pipes that the wife and neighbors ordered to the tune of 4k baht to ensure access to our road since they ain’t digging any drainage trench our side of the road? Also our rubber cutters are now active…Life is good?

    Dago is an offensive term used to refer to Italians, and very occasionally Spanish, folks.

    Dagos and wogs are italians and maybe greeks. What problem you would have with them I can't imagine.

    On another note, I'm making a pig of myself with my favourite snack.
    A guy was selling avocados at the gate cheap today so I got a bag and I'm making toast, spreading the avocado on it and with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of black pepper and enjoying my all time favourite snack bite to excess.

    My Gf tried eating this rather ambitious concoction at some French gaff in Hua Hin. Eggs were cold, toast was just warm and the avocado & smoked salmon had just come out the fridge. Needless to say she had one mouthful

    You could rearrange that, tell them to put it in the microwave for 45 seconds and you might have something. The basics are there.

    For 245 Baht inc.coffee, it's just not on


    I just bought a black suit from Sainsburys for £55. It's machine washable and apparently will never need ironing

    It was made in Bangladesh, probably by slum kids in a sweatshop

    True enough, but a mixed history for the term.

    Earlier, the word came from the words Working On Government Service stenciled onto shirts worn by Egyptian workers during the early 1800s.

    Gollywogs were what we called Sudanese Fuzzy-wuzzies, ex-army dock workers at Port Sudan during the 1950s-60s, who caked their hair with mud into an elaborate coife with a lice scratcher stick stuck into it at a jaunty angle.

    They wouldn't let you photograph them because the camera was the evil eye which could capture their souls.

    Gollywog could also refer to a Xtianized African, (golly = god, so god-wogs.) generally sociable types.

    My take on it all.

    So you sent thirty pounds more for your headphones than you did for you "suit"?


    Sure you look good.

    It's the 5 th Nov and that means Guy Fawkes, so we just went through a load of fireworks in the garden. The whole neighbourhood smells of cordite,and the sound of loud bangs.

    Daughter (5) was discharged from hospital yesterday, on the way out she dropped something and immediately exclaimed 'FUCK'.
    After I picked myself up from laughing I decided I really must watch my language around the kids.
