khall64au Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 There's plenty of advocados here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where is here? I understand avocados grow up north but very rarely get them in Phuket. I just find that they are very nutritious for me, like my body actually needs to eat them. Any ideas on where to get a regular supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss rollerblading in lord Stanley's park on a summers day (anyone seeing the beautiful women in Vancouver esp in the summer might agree;) or skiing huge bumps at Whistler in the spring Can agree with all of the above- especially Stanley park on a sunny day. Unfortunately, the traffic in the park on a sunny day would make me homesick for BKK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 english marmite (some members say you can get it here, but I've never seen it) crumbly cheeses like cheshire, wensleydale, caerphilly etc monster munch walkers salt and vinegar cod and chips going to Elland Road sunday newspapers real ale irony but, on the whole, none of this is enough to consider making me want to live there again.

kayo Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I may have this the wrong way round, but then I am on the other side of the globe... I miss my twice weekly trips to the Jungle Bar on the Soi just off river Kwae road. H would cook me up a steak and kidney pie, or mince meat sometimes, that he bought over in Hua Hin, and we´d sit and chat for hours. Those pies were brilliant. Actually, shortly before I left, I heard that the original Pie makers were selling their business to someone else... This is a bout a year and a half ago. ANybody know somehting?
