Hi there

Bamboo bar is still the place, but I only call in there to eat sometimes I dont drink there, mainly cos I dont drink every day, I see guys there at 9 am drinking but up to the individual I suppose.

Book and Bed but again a place for Farangs to eat with there Families across the Road from there is 'Be my Guest' this is the place Binnsy is on about, but there is never anyone in there.

MacB, why don't you post anything other than the weather reports any more? I know you must be busy with your daughter, but to use a good old West Ham chant 'It's all gone quiet over there'.

BABY UPDATE

Well the daughter is now 6 weeks 3 days old and doing well:

The wife had the babies head shaved last week I must say she does not look amiss for having this done still looks gorgeous.

Today I am going to buy her a pushchair (Trolley as the wife calls it) also order Air-con for the second bedroom, then the wife can sleep up-stairs, when the daughter is more capable she will move back to the family bedroom. (Hooray for obvious reasons ahem) Below are pics of the daughter to-date
