^ That knife ain't at all blunt.
That's a genuine Do Home steak knife... would slice off a bollock as soon as look at it.

Thank fook Friday the 13th is over without incident!
Today we all went to The Mall for a Japanese lunch.
That's not the cheer because I hate the bladdy place, especially at weekends when it's packed out after eventually reaching it after battling through Korat's awful traffic. I still can't get my head round the fact that many Westerners go there for enjoyment at he weekend.
No, my cheer is that I sorted out the daughter's UK passport renewal photos. They were as cheap as chips so I got meself some as well!
No stopping me now!
Didn’t realise that was a mission? Passport trip coming up.
You could have just used a passport photo app on your phone and printed them off yourself, if you weren't such a Yokel
Passport Photo Maker – VISA/ID - Apps on Google Play
^ I thought about doing it myself but surely if you take a 'selfie', your face is the wrong way round?
And I have no photographic paper and my Magenta cartridge needs replacing. All in all I reckon that 150 Baht for 12 pics wasn't too bad!
All cut and bagged up as well.
^ The Mall, the original one which is the best imho!
^^ Not only the aircon, you can also ogle the shop assistants... I would imagine.
The Japanese was 2600 Baht, or 2620 Baht after the wife had swiped my generous tip and left a measly 20 Baht note.
With hindsight I guess I could have got meself a pack of photographic paper and a Magenta print cartridge and still had change for a box of Mont Clair and a couple of takeaway pizzas from Pizza Company (I have a two for one card valid to April that never gets used).
This is making that search of Phuket for a genuine samsngu notebook seem like an emotional roller coaster.
Yes, what did you get for £55 in the Jap Resto (sorry Katie for the racist overtone)
1 year extension to stay delivery day.
Thai Immigration.
Entered, "Good morning" and handed over my passport.
Sit down for five minutes ... Two other customers being attended to.
The first being told to go to Cambodia or Laos and apply for a new visa, as he can't extend his stay. The second being told they can extend but only for 30 days ....
Another 5 minute wait ....
Two female officers and the helpful English-speaking admin assistant approach ...
"Your extension to stay approval has not been received", the assistant tells me.
The officer seeing my face says, "We will call Bangkok."
A few minutes listening out for police sirens
The assistant calls me over, smiles and raises my passport ...
Opens it and points to the date, 29/12/2023, and smiles.
Points out the 90-day visit date and says, "See you then", another big smile.
As I reach to open the exit door, she calls out, "Best come in the afternoon next year".
Putting her over my knee and spanking her, were my thoughts.
A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
Result!
Panic bought the last 36 eggs in the shop..
Btw, I fvcking hate eggs.
I'll be moving back to Thailand in July.
Planning on taking a mini sabbatical to learn Thai at a language school and then look for a job. Mongolia has been great, but it's time for a change.
