Summer storm warning for upper Thailand
Big storm last night up here about as far north as one can get. One tree stuck in the gate another bush went flying across the lawn. Had to go round closing all the windows , power went off 3 times so went to bed. At least the mountains are back in view and the air fresher.

What do you remember ?
You reminded me ; Lemon meringue pie , oh how I loved that. Roast beef oh a Sunday , I loved the burnt bit on the end. As for first sex. It was only with me but I soon got the hang of it.

What do you remember ?
I have to agree with many of the above. Mine ? Parrafin heater in the bathroom. Chapped legs in the winter from wearing shorts. Before Corona the fizzy drinks man brought Neptune . Gran and Grandad arriving on Boxing day. Train spotting . Cod liver oil and malt , loved it. The misery of trying to make snowballs when wearing woolen mittens. Eating sandwiches while watch a real steam roller at work. Not being allowed out to play on a Sunday . Bonfire night when I was about 13 and kissing Jennifer Parsons who lived next door. YES ! that awful radiogram. Playing 78s with a needle in the pickup arm. Guess my age from the above .

Stale beer
Up here in Maechan there is an off licence that sells several beers , some from japan and some from Lao. I buy their Beerlao , not cheap maybe at 70 B for a small botle but so much better than Chang at 50 for a large one. None left in the fridge , must call in for a brew for tonight as the sun sets behind the smog.

Why does God >insert your grievance here<....?
Just a thought , if God is a Christian god why are there lightning conductors on church steeples ? Lightning is an act of god.

Lost in Translation: Your Funniest Misunderstandings with Thai Language
Not sure if it is the Thai language but several years ago my Thai wife and myself stopped to fill up with gasahol and I needed a pee. There were 3 options for relief. Ladies on the left , men on the right . In the middle was a wider one and a sign for wheelchairs. The wife said while pointing to the middle one ' We share '. I said we were not !
