Little Black Duck

Correct Me if I'm wrong, But, "The Blues Factory" are't you suppose to be promoting "BLUES"!!!

I love a happy story!

Just Love a Story !!!!!

All I can say is a SNAG is quite hard to find girls but theres a cute Little Black Duck paddling around in various ponds in Thailand..

however you have to be real tricky to catch him..Cant leave foot prints in water,,

Just come back from an optician in Patong, a very good one.

Don't wonna get into details now to save your time(and mine):

9500Baht seems to much for me for a pair of progressive glasses or am I wrong?

any other suggestions where to go?

Thanks,

Gerd

Seems expensive to me too, I got mine at an optition near the roundabout in Phuket Town near the Markets

Titanium frames the works multishade tint B4,000..

Sorry cant recall the name..Somchai I think..

oh goodie....

good, because britmav is actually a fictional character; my ladies-forum-counselor-alter-ego... so they love me.. they really really luuurrvve me!!!

*sigh*

Ducky, shall we start a lonely hearts club?

Hey Keyo, up here in Nakon Nowhere they have a scam going on where local women pay up to B40,000 to meet a Farang..

Dont know about you Old Wabbit but I take umbridge to being sold like a Side of Beef or a "Stuffed Duck" !!!!!

I'm glad you think it's smart. Any further comments on the thread?

As a 19 Year Old I find this whole thread Amazing.

The below is an apparently real letter sent to a feminine hygiene manufacturer in the States.....VERY funny.

Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your

revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from 'the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers' monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying, jags, and out-of-control behaviour. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy!

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these

words: 'Have a Happy Period.'

Are you <deleted>*ing kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull sh*t. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.

Best,

Miss Donna,

You've gone and Donnawell Done it Again..

Who Loves Ya Babe...The Little Black Feathered one, thats who...LBD

I personally think it's dispicable that a mindless four footed dog could catch a fine creature like a Duck

I can only wonder was the K9 assisted by its human owner????? LBD..

sooooo many hotels in patong are well and truly OVER booked for the entire peak period. one hotel i was talking to just last week has about 50 rooms and they are already 30 rooms over booked.

another hotel in karon has 120 rooms but is 100 rooms over booked!

you will need a lot of luck getting anywhere with a pool, close to the beach etc for 1600thb a night and will probably have to double that to get anything at all.

there is a GUESTHOUSE called jinny (google jinny phuket) who have small, clean rooms, with air con, hot water and a small pool. not sure of their peak price, but you can always check with them.

i would offer you rooms in my new hotel but they are way over your budget.

Aw Gee Donna a Sun Lounge on the Beach if you can stand the Mozzies and the Katoeys is free!!

Bought World of Warcraft last night. Hehhehhehhehehee. Can't wait to go to war and conquer the chaos (some of it) this weekend.

tesco lotus foodhall with my entourage

Koh Samui is still a fun place with exotic places to visit,,

Tesco Lotus Food Hall..

Sure beats all the Real Restaurants !!!!

KHall,

Glad to hear you are OK pity about the Mira..

I can assure you it wasn't me I'm in Bunbury West OZ

I hear similar stories over here all the time but the offenders are

Big & Furry and hop onto the roads in front of you..

hope you mend real soon and that the Mira gets a good Car Doctor..LBD

Well, Well Well, The Old Chestnut raises its ugly head again..

After returning to Farangland (OZ) I miss that magic life style and my spicy food..

The warm weather and the freedom, however its nice not to have to repeat myself 10 times

to be understood, having importantly,,equality!!

When a Policeman stops me (just once here) He did a breath test at 11am, as if, but there was no "Give me B200"..

I only need a Tax File No. not a Company and all the required Visas and WP..

However its freeking cold, costs the earth to live here, but its all relavent,

I'm in a share situation with friends so rent is cheap..

You can live cheaply if you so choose..So from my point of View

It all comes back to where and how you decide to live either in Farangland or Thailand, as I see it they both have for's and against's. I think bashing either, is foolish, its called choice, and I'm sorry that is an individules right..LBD

Just a quick Hi to everyone in Phuket..

The Duck is firmly installed in farangland here in West OZ at Bunbury

Working and having a ball..Been trying to catch up with Terry57 in Freo but alas we missed each other last week I got a call back to the South..

Having trouble adjusting to the Cold weather and the Crazy Aussie Rules Footy, pity they cant put something else on TV to look at..

Hope to be back on Hols next year..LBD..

I think this says it all...LBD..

Works for everything else...

Friends in Low Places....Garth Brooks

Hmnnn...Foolishly read the whole thing, still it broke the boredom..

There were actually a couple of Posters talking about Phuket and the thread

one actually managed to get the nasty Muslim terrorists involved, still don't know why..

The wowsers got their shillings worth, Gee the Religious mob didn't get a look in.

All those nasty people drinking Booze, I wonder how many tourists took advantage

of places like Phuket Fantasea, James Bond Island, Diving and Snorkeling..
