  1. Applause t the appropriate moment. Of course not when a swimmer has been disqualified or when the weightlifter drops the weight on his foot. No! Just show enthusiasm and appreciation. Soon have the mums around.
  2. This post is bang on the money. However; if I may, I'd like to add just a couple of titbits. When talking to a young lady, look into her eyes. When she is talking; look at her mouth. Makes them feel secure. Finding the more wealthy lady is not that difficult. I have found the best thing is to get interested in a sport. Swimming, fencing or even weight lifting. Generous applause and the occasional 'whoop', will not go unnoticed. Curiosity will get to the contestant's mums, and they will soon befriend you.
  3. I was looking for a television a few years back. Went into Udon Thani store on the ring road. I was asked seven times by 7 different young ladies if I had a 'Madam'. Of course I said yes each time. The wife was waiting for me in the pick-up outside. The only place where that has happened to me before was in Bansumran Fishing Park. There you could hire a girl for your fishy requirements for your overnight stay. She would put ya bait on and net the fish too.
  4. There are 4 7-11s in Ban Dung. The one to the north of the town has the best looking birds. Don't go into the one near the bus station as he wanted my passport to pay a leccy bill.
  5. They create the pressure themselves. 100k a week and some can't even break sweat. Too much kissing and cuddling when they score. Bring back Stan Cullis type managers. He wouldn't have put up with all this hugging and touching.
  6. The clubs outside the top 6 only have the occasional good game. Pool had a another stinker and Palace capitalized. When are clubs like Villa, Seagulls and Irons gonna break through? Toon are almost part of the top furniture; as are Villa. Be good to see. If City do it this year, then it will be the first time a club has done 4 on the bounce. Next season it would be good to get a change.
  7. Dear me! How wrong can ya be? A goal feast at Pool? No way. Palace all the way. Irons well beaten at home by Cottagers. And Arsenal outgunned at home by Villa. Have the reds of Liverpool and London just handed the title to blue Manchester? Bayer Leverkusen win the German Bundesliga with 5 games to go.
  8. 14-04-2024. Sunday afternoon. This is the Owl Log. Trying to make sense my little corner of Isaan. Right in the middle of Songkran. Still wet from yesterday. Or is that just sweat? It is a little warm! Mrs Owl and Mildred went off to Nong Khai this morning. A new Buddha, overlooking the Mekong river, came a'calling. About 10 of them went in two pick-ups. Daughter didn't want to go but was persuaded by mum. No one even asked me. That's the way it goes here. But i'm not moaning. Taking advantage. Listening to Van the man on the TV, whilst I do the Owl Log. Mildred has gone all fashion conscious. Gets most of her stuff from the TikTok Shop. Dad pays naturally. Had to put some shelves up in the kitchen for her. Soon filled up with beauty products. Never been one to put stuff on me skin. Prefer to keep skin nice by giving it the nutrients from inside. Except that stuff we proper men use. Nudge, nudge - wink, wink. Mildred finished another painting a couple of days ago. www.mildredart.com Running out of wall to put them on. Stickman holding 'Dove of Peace' has been found a spot in the bedroom. Probably put the new one under it. At the farm, everything has come to a halt due to the holiday. So it will be Tuesday, at the earliest, when we get on with it. Not yet made up my mind where to erect the tower. Make my mind up on the first day of work. Mildred's friend lives at a village at the back of the salt fields. Dropped her off, and took some pics. It's big business. Some of the salt is dried in the black poly units. Gives a cleaner salt end product. Whole area is about 200 football pitches in size. Salt is stored in the barns. At the village, where I dropped Mildred, there is a cracking Buddha, resting over a lake. No one about. Could I go for a swm to cool off? Started to read all about the lake, but the lettering needed a bit of TLC. So gave up. We had a drop of rain a week or so ago. Let the extra water in the holder go into Mildred's carp tank. Should have been more water in the tank than there was; after the rain. Found the blockage. Soon cleared. Discovered a new record wire-breaker in Ban Dung. Dear me! The tangle of all tangles. Went on the measure in the euca farm. Biggest tree in that corner; just under 60cms. Songkram nails. A new dig just along from us. The sides are near vertical. The little hammer will come in handy one day. Just couldn't resist it. 84 baht. +++++ Foxes didn't do Owls any favours on Friday evening. The shock result lifted Plymouth out of the danger zone. Although now QPR and Stoke are in the mix. Any two from 5, to go down with Rothers. City win 5-1 against the Hatters. Other big two play today. Expect a goal feast from Pool against Palace, as a reaction to there awful showing against Atlanta in the week. +++++ Anyone for golf? Yanks 1, 2 and 3 in the Masters. No interest really when there are no Brits involved. Where is that English golfer? The one who introduces himself as Sir whats-his-name. I remember it's Nick Faldo. Get yer plus fours back on. England needs you. +++++ Seems like we are having a delivery every day. Either Lazada or TikTok. My stuff is pretty functional. Hose clamps and PVC connectors yesterday. But some cat food too. 24 cans of best sardines in jelly. +++++ Not so hot this week. Have only 3 fans on at night in the bedroom. +++++ Rain seems a long way off. Water from the solar pump system is running into pond 4 til tomorrow evening, when Mildred wants it back into pond 5. +++++ Still not taking to Mrs Owl. +++++ Take care out there and stay dry.
  9. Sad story. Why would anyone do her harm? She looks like a nice lady.
  10. The mods tend not to touch this thread. Down the years it's been pretty broad and civil in nature. As long as it's in my diary; it's OK. And footy is on page 3. Hope to have some work done to the new water towers at the farm this week. Everything is in place, except the steels that have not yet been got down from the old water tower. TBH, I'm not up to all that climbing about 8 metres in the air any more. Best left to others. But that means delays.
  11. Wot!! English footy off topic? And a well earned, battling point at home against the Canaries. I did forecast a while back that it world be Rothers, Brum and one other to leave the Championship. Gonna be tight.
  12. You need a face-lift Garry mate. Tongue looks healthy though. Matching cap and shirt I notice.
  13. Any points deducted should happen at the start of the following season.
  14. You should know me better than that HP. Cable ties??!! The fixing was far more sopfisticated that mere cable ties. Only the best plastic string. Wouldn't want it to open up and close again when I got up; would I?
  15. Great pics Garry. Are you going solar?
  16. Big market in these parts for old PVC pipes.
  17. We will all die for sure. But at least us slimsters will not be talked about and called a 'fat b@stard' when we are gone.
