Today was the opening of the 2012 Khon Kaen Agricultural Fair
This 4 year old (and up category) water buffalo won the event and we spoke to one of the handlers after the prize was awarded and asked him how much the buffalo's stud fee was. He told us it was 3,000 baht before the event but would be more now that he had won.
Nice looking Brahman bull they also had at the fair

Project much, Looper? Lots of Burmese women working in Tokyo now, too. In appearance and manner one might surmise they are Thai, but definitely ask first or risk any chance of becoming friends.Quote:

Pretty reasonable. Guess that is just for a couple of hours rather than all night :)Quote:

My 100 year old gran doing her shopping. A bit slow on her legs but as sharp as they come. Always counts her change and knows the price of everything in Sainsburys thats ' on her list '.

^ Was she signing up for the SILAT course? (check the poster out on the left).
Fairplay to Granny Bangyai BTW for getting out and about.
No need. She'd see off any assailants with a vicious harangue about their ears.Quote:

^ Nice paparazi scoop there :) sorry no green ammo for you.
We went for a lovely January walk today along the Heybridge Basin in Mid Essex after the walk Jan treated us to coffee + toasted tea cakes at the local cafe and when I came outside a lovely old Thames sailing barge was going by

If I lived there , I'm sure a chain attached to that seat would unfortunately get wrapped around one of my back axles as I drove past :)

Looking at the photo this type of "abuse" appears to be common on the street. Coupled with the yellow line no parking restriction one wonders where the cars are expected to be parked!
Do any of the houses have the dropped kerb/ legal entrance?
Or transplanted to the rear garden:)Quote:
