Farewell Garth. What a riff!

Has our ex squaddie hired a ghost writer for the inevitable novel yet, describing his two weeks of 'hell'? Don't forget to include: 1. It was the trip of a lifetime 2. Squaddie used to light up the room 3. Squaddie was living life to the full.

Trump, the coward of the country, to slightly misquote Kenny Rodgers.

A gem

Ah, the truth hurts.

Brave Donald, seriously injured before he even set foot in Vietnam. A bone spur, the agony! What a weasel and pathetic case of a human being he is.

To quote Thaksin at a speech recently: 'African people, who have black skin and flat noses that make it difficult to breathe, are hired for millions of baht to be models. Thai people look much better.' I hope Thaksin will provide Naomi with oxygen cylinders for her upcoming visit.

Only two days until the Russian/ Ukrainian war is over. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Trump, the new fool on the hill. Pass the sick bag, Alice, a complete idiot is about to be in charge of the White House.

No, no, no. You're dazed and confused ( Led Zep 1). Please believe me.

No it's not. That's about the Irishman found dead in his room. Please read carefully.

What a jolly singalong this was/ is.

Baying Trump would be more pertinent.

Early morning aerobics/ dancing exercise. There's even a bridge, or is it a middle 8? to catch your breath in. https://youtu.be/6Wu9xh71d2g?si=lNVxFkSU0GlomKOf

Musk is an earnest kite flyer, to use a Thai idiom.

Invigorating winter weather up here in Issan. Fresh air and clear skies. Perfect for morning exercise. https://youtu.be/PnjZOCe83jw?si=CfgPPs9p8lpMjCZu

Starmer is tough. He's got a large majority and will ride out winging from the left and right.

To lose a loved one and know nothing of their fate must be one of the worst feelings for anyone in the world. Hope clashing with fears of the worst, almost unbearable.

Unfortunately a lot of the new generation(s) gamble online, available 24 hours a day. And many lose not just a few baht but mass large debts, borrowing from relatives and loan sharks. It's a kind of unseen disease, the gambler doesn't rapidly lose his/ her looks ( until the loan sharks sorts them out), unlike the methamphetamine and serious lao khao consumers who show obvious signs of wear and tear after a while.
