They overcook all their meat and their vegetables are tasteless. In fact, you'll find better English food in Thailand. I have met a few who make such claims. But they like bland food. The only food I miss is Kippers, and salmon, but they are from Scotland! Where can you eat the best Irish food? In the US Where can you eat the best Italian food? In Brazil Where can you it the best English food? There is no such bloody thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with this. Thai food in Thailand is so much better than the sanitised UK version of Thai food, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened the thread and presto...Cheeseman at work turning milk into cheese. I don't agree with crowd funding but if someone starts one up to get Dan solvent enough to give blogging and vlogging up , I will contribute. I don't know this Dan guy, but I totally agree.... This is really nothing more than a list of old clichés....he misses seasons? Really? I've never heard that one before, tell me all about it!

Tramadol and Paracetamol are not. New Skin, a liquid bandage, can be bought even at a 7-11 or comparable store. I get a lot of small infections from cuts here. I can't even find band aids at Tesco. Have to go to a pharmacy. I also miss doctors who do not give you antibiotics for everything under the sun! A shot in the ass cures all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
