See ya..

Or you could ,of course,post a photo all of your own..not a youtube or internet culled product but an original of Isaan.

In this day and age of the digital phone or camera that is surely not to much to ask,is it"?

 

 

Here you go bud, my mother-in-law's finest. Am I in the gang now?

Hi farangsters - Monsieur Vous here.

 

In a cafe at the moment. making my way to Nancy's area. Really looking forward to seeing her again. I first met her and her twin sister a couple of years ago. She says she has been saving herself for me. That's real nice.

 

Kitten shed a tear when I left her. But; she understands the importance of my work. I'll get back to her in a couple of months.

 

Mr Owl sent me some pics today.

 

Evidently Madam Owl went to the croc' buddha today. Very quiet I'm informed. But at least she came back with the special lottery numbers for next Thursday.

 

Mr Owl should be back on track by then.

 

 

That's one big crocodile. Lovely green colour.

 

 

Signs saying not to climb into crocodile's mouth.

 

No picture taking either.

 

 

Some big logs on the move.

 

 

 

My Owl's daughter Mildred had her fishing rod pulled in last evening. Dad had to strip down to his undies to retrieve it. No pic's however. Real shame!

 

Later.

Not my taste I'm afraid, I do like some Thai food but spicy stuff doesn't agree with me on many levels, for me tonight it's Steak & Kidney pie, mash n peas followed by Rhubarb crumble, a heathen ? Yes I am, but one of the Joy's of living on the Darkside of Pattaya is that I can get almost any food I desire, Thai, Indian, German, Italian, Chinese etc etc, not Issan related I know but part of the natural progression of this thread. ????

Yep red ant eggs.

 

Posting these pics of red ant dishes, made by my wife (with the ant eggs from the village), especially for Bill Oddie from Rotherham.

Ah..it's a wok...from the universe of woks.

No people..streets..sois..houses..dogs ,trees, rice paddies of Isaan?

But you were the one that berated us.....bringing us the glory of your  astounding experiences of Isaan..

Perhaps you would be more comfortable attacking people on..

Brexit threads

Climate denial threads

Sorry to hear you are not a fan of our French past-times Monsieur Ody. We are the greatest lovers in the world; and of that we are proud. Also the greatest chefs and wine-makers.

 

When I'm with my ladies I do like them to fill in a questionnaire, and take pictures of them. Sometimes I interview them for the record. But all this is in keeping with my work; so entirely appropriate.

 

But, I'll say no more about these beauties, if it's going to get posters - especially the English - envious.

I wonder how Bluesofa is going?

He has been very quiet after returning home post the bike accident..I hope that all is well...

It's the mind-bending drugs my nurse has been slipping me to keep me quiet.

I'm still here lurking.

I can't spent a lot of time sitting at the keyboard, I need to spend most of it laying on my back.

In my younger days I always had a problem getting my back off the bed in the morning. Now it's medically required for me to have that malaise.

Monsieur Vol a Vent

You are becoming a bit of a bore..

Not your fault of course but your appearance does not appear to be voluntary...rather like that you are posting "in parenthesis" and as everyone knows a lacunae is merely a blank space...a gap..

 

Anyway..did you like the film of the French poilus or the mention of one of the greatest films ever made in the last century?

Well...he's in that kind of brace thing...I imagine that it would be quite painful..but I wish he was still posting as II liked his "bon mots"-that's one for Monsieur Vol au Vent or P.C Wren or the usual hellhounds of the Legion..????

'his bon mots'?

First time I've heard my waffle described as such. Can I have a pint of what you've been drinking?

 

If only my brace was an Australian foreplay version - "Brace yerself Shelia."

Then it would have been worth the 1,300 Baht.

Yes-I know about that....24  chemotherapy sessions,30 radiation treatments,the loss of a leg which meant survival but left a wreck of a man..

 

A life of pain and  medication

 

Be well my friend and recover soon.

Are you referring to the British jet fighter?

 

Have a chat to your friend  Baron Owl of Snodburycaster. as none of us are going to put up with this forever...

 

And tell the klutzes from the Brexit/covid/climate change threads to wrack off....if brains were dynamite they couldn't even blow their own noses..

If there were any pictures posted by Owl following his return to the fold, I could envisage a lifetime ban, the way things have been going for him recently.

Mind you, BrIan Rix seemed to get away it.

I have a suggestion. Let Monsieur Voulez Vous do the posting in the Covid/Climate Change/Nutcase Theory threads, and take the "holidays". Allow his alter-ego (our friend Owl) to stick to keeping us amused and informed of the goings-on up in Esaan.

The Thai boy in this photo has that look in his eyes that says, "when I grow up I will be a taxi driver and I will charge farang 500 baht for a 1 km journey, because I can." ????  

 

Let's hope he doesn't end up a police officer.  ????

Yes..a certain steely glint in the eye gives the game away.I believe that the uncle wants him to have a jolly career in the RTP-the sky's the limit so they say...

Could have sworn I was on Owl"s 'Diary of a farang in Isaan' and not 'The World according to some bloke called Oddy'. Mate, this a TV thread, all are welcome, stop trying to make it exclusive to you and one or two others.

 

Ps. If you thought I was going to spend more than 2 seconds finding a photo to satisfy you...get real ????

Late yesterday afternoon, thunder, lightening & very strong winds, but only had around 5 minutes of rain.

It was so refreshing.

 

 During the night a couple of loud thunderclaps, & this morning the ground is a bit wet. Bit windy now.

 

How's the weather in France M'sieur Vous?

I think that you should re-examine your own behaviour when you flounced back onto the thread,no?

I could not care less how many seconds you spent looking for a photo...

People have been welcome here for the last 108 pages..and I am very sure that they will remain welcome for another 108.
