The Old Bull

A hunk of cheddar imported from the UK is expensive but cheaper in Thailand than the same thing imported into Canada.

I think I paid 200 baht but had to register with my pink card.

My mother used to say "nobody cares if you are the richest man in the cemetery".

Somebody swiped mine a few years ago 100 meters of wire. I replaced it with aluminum and got the head man to announce it on his PA system that it had been replaced with aluminum. No problem since ,maybe because we installed it on 8 meter poles.

Dial up internet black and white TV's and Honda Waves all belong together.

Check "Villa Market" online.

If it was illegal why didn't they put a stop work order on it as soon as they could see the problem? I guess brown envelopes have their limit.

Monkeys are horrible things They will steal things right out of your hands.If you put your stuff down while you go for a swim they will have it,There used to be some at the end of the beach on Kho Phi Phi till they chased them over the hill. Now if you want a monkey fix you can rent a boat and go to "monkey beach". I remember they didn't have to shoot at the monkeys just pull out the slingshot and they would head for the hills.

I remember about 60 years ago in Cyprus somebody tossed a grenade through the mess hall window. Killed a couple and injured a few. They chased after him ,caught him and dragged him back. They hung him right there in the mess hall, got in a bit of <deleted> but not much,

I rented a room out to a guy who spent his summer savings on 2000 hits of acid he bought from a US preacher passing through. He was selling it for a living. I would not let him keep it in the house so he had it buried in the snow around town. In the spring when the snow melted he had a pile of the stuff to deal with so he got into it ,one a day for a week then seven at one shot. That did it he went up and never came down. He threw out all his possessions, nice cameras etc. and would sit all day in the bath tub. He stopped eating regular food saying honey had everything a body needs till I told him it had no vitamin C so he bought a case of oranges. Anyway he spooked my girlfriend so I had to run him off so I could get laid. The last thing I heard about him was that they put him in the nut house but he climbed over the wall and escaped.

Smoked up a bunch of hash one night. Same effect the road was flying by at a great speed but I was only going 25mph.

In Canada we pay every time we drink a beer , fuel up the car or smoke a cigarette. That's better than being hit with a huge bill that includes the insurance company cut.

What, and give up beer and bacon?

The problem is not about sharing the weiner , it's about sharing the wealth when the wealth is limited.

I was taking Amlodipine 10mg a day for high blood pressure for a couple of years till my feet swelled up , I dropped it to 5mg and they went down, That was two years ago and they are still good.

If I go driving on a beach first I make sure the tide is out. Second I make sure I am following existing tyre tracks. Never had a problem yet

What scares me most are the rabid Christians and Muslims that think they are going to wake up in a better place when they die. Less incentive to not go to war.

Foreign aid does not arrive in the form of cash. It goes to friends of the friends with a boot factory or a bomb factory . They get a rich contracts and the goods are shipped not cash. Also the military will get rid of worn out stuff like old F-18 s at a great price of course, that way they can buy new stuff and the government gets brownie points for helping the Ukers

Fifteen hundred Jews murdered ,thirty thousand Arabs murdered. Time the government took a look at the numbers and stopped sending guns and bombs to Israel.No wonder the Palestinians are angry. Isn't being complicit to murder a crime?

At 81 l find temptation easier to resist.

They don't want to work themselves out of a job by catching the financiers. Stick to the low hanging fruit and they will have work forever.

Busses so underpowered once they get going at a good lick they don't want to slow down..You can tell because even the slightest grade slows them down. One time I was sitting in a restaurant in Surattani. Outside there were busses loading passengers.The drivers were sitting at a table chugging a few cold ones. Glad I was taking the train.

In Thailand you had better look both ways.,could be someone overtaking or just going on the right.

You need the purple car passport ,you need your blue book to get that.Pay a bit for insurance when you get there.

When I try my lap top it wants me to enter my card in that thing they sent and get the password. I tried my phone app and it opens up right away.
