Motorcycle hit the back of a car outside the house last night. One guy pushing through the onlookers shouting let me through, let me through. Someone said oh good, are you a doctor? No he said, that's my pizza.
I do remember the asking price for horizontal entertainment going up. Reason given was 'you get twice as many baht now for £ or $ so you still pay same in £ or $ if I charge twice as many baht'.
My own experience of it worked out quite well. Nothing to do with planning just dumb luck.
I wasn't even looking at exchange rates changing. I found a car I wanted to buy, worked out the sterling I needed to get transferred and called my brother to do the transfer.
He did that and 'faxed' me the details. Waited a few days and went to the bank where I was told 'no money come'.
This happened a few times until my brother faxed confirmation the money had arrived. End result was a very high 80 something rate so I ended up with enough to buy the car and almost the same amount of baht left over.
I remember one guy in the unit doing a floppy like that. We had bayonnets fixed, on SLR's not SA80's, and by good luck it kind of slid down the outside of the leg on the guy in front. 2 inches to the left and it may have had a different result.
Irish knocks the door looking for some work.
Lady answers and she's holding a paint brush.
Need work she says? Hands the brush and goes inside and comes back with a tin of paint.
Go round the back she says and paint the porch.
30 min later he knocks the door and says I've finished and by the way it's a jaguar not a porch.
