One should swing cats before throwing them, as in throwing the discus. Cat lovers quote their ability to keep rats at bay to justify their blatant laziness and whining for food, akin to a useless brother-in-law of mine, (substitute lao khao for food), but there are ways to cull the rat population that don't involve cats.. Been digging out banana trees infected with the deadly Panama disease, rotting bases of the stems. A piece of cake in the rainy season as the soil is loose and the rotting stem easily disintegrates under the blows of the trusted 'jorb' However, there is one drawback, the army of tiny ants feasting off the rotting vegetation. They're minute but they bite well above their weight and they're in their thousands, marching up your Wellington boots to the legs, etc Not a stinging sensation like red/ black ants but a vigorous itch that requires bathing the affected area to relieve the irritation. I wonder what these ants are called

I could tell you a joke about trickle down economics but 99% of you wouldn't get it .

I was trying to copy and paste on my phone as I've lost 20% of my laptop screen due to being mishandled. However, I don't seem to have worked out how to copy and paste on the phone yet!

That's what my daughter said, just ask the neighbours for a few and soon we'll have plenty.

That's the fish. My wife never went for the cows' urine but she and her friends would steal the cow's post birth placenta and fry it up between them! It's rich with proteins and the cow herself would consume it, but the thieving humans got there first!

You're welcome Owl to come round to our farm and collect our cows' urine anytime. Sometimes they drink each others' urine in mid-stream. What baffles me is once they hear the chain and lock banging against the door, signifying they're about to go out, they all empty their bladders, leaving the floor flooded. Why can't they just hold on for a few moments till they're in the fields? I get it with male dogs staking out their territory but this seems excessive! Got a question for you Owl. Do you know anywhere around Ban Dung that sells the tiny fish called guppy? I went to the weekly market but nothing there. Perhaps the monthly market

Yes, alcohol in the wrong hands is dangerous, especially lao khao, but letting teenagers smoke ganga freely is equally dumb. Thai teens are on the whole lazy, addicted to their phones, free use of ganga will only accentuate that. Far better to give them part-time work at a decent wage
