Towards a Better Samui.

[crusty]

Before you begin your pub crawl, we need to ratify positions in the new cabinet, so here are my preferred ministers;

Mayor Crusty, Min. of Home Affairs Poorsucker, Min. of Finance Smokie, Min. of Environment H2o Dunc, Min. of Tourism and Ecclesiastic Council Screamingeagle, Min. of Education Big C, Min. of Recreation Starcandle, Chief Whip Sevenhills, Attorney General Carmine, Any suggestions for the Defence portfolio ?

[smokie36]

For the cloak and dagger effect it has to be TracerRound.

[Wellington]

has to be

'Churchill'

[sevenhills]

Has Big C been approached??

[smokie36]

'Churchill'

How could I....lest we forget...!

[crusty]

Has Big C been approached??

Yes Big C is holding the Education portfolio and I do agree with Smokie, TracerRound would be a perfect Defence Minister (he comes highly recommended by Denis Healey and Dame Edna)

Great, then he can come with the rest of the cabinet to Koh Som where we plan to set up a government in exile and he can do a security survey.

Sorry a bit dyslexic today:)

[Boater]

Can boater be 'tea money ' minister ?

[Boater]

Saying this those , there is a place in spain ( has loads of expats ect ) that has a british govener / mayor , even the old major in my town in england was form pakistain , so question can a non thai national run as mayor / governer in thailand ? Or does it work on ' how much money you can pay ' to get elected for the job

[smokie36]

I have it from a good source that the shadow cabinet is unimpressed with Rooo's performance as Advertising Manager as he's failed to fix the topic title.....your name is being quietly mooted....

Maybe on the subject of Samui governance we should realise its only in its infncy in terms of self governance....issues like the airport were decided by a long defunct Surat Thani administration....my feeling is something will eventually happen on this but I suspect I will have retired from office by then!

Are you sure you want that post Boater? Its by far the biggest job in the cabinet.

[H2oDunc]

As minister for the environment I will of course need to tour the surrounding islands to make sure nobody is breaking the newly implemented NO ECO / GREEN laws that will have been passed. I am laying out the plans for it as we speak. It will have 3 inboard, huge displacement V12's that use more fuel than you can shake a stick at. Not in the least bit economical but will sound the dogs B#@@cks

It will also double as the official water transport for the Mayor as well :jap:

You have to wear make up & lipstick & submitted to photoshop to look 20 years younger.You should see the one they took of me next to immigration, he deleted whatever hair I had left. But I looked good in my white uniform. Hansum man.

Luckily I have foreseen this profligate waste of public money. As such I've been in touch with my 'contacts' in Laem Din market and ordered us all our new green shirts at knockdown price. The saving will be spent on more important matters......

Now the printers need to know what message is going on the back of our shirts?......something catchy....

Yes most photoshops have a rack of clothing from which you can select to be photographed in and a few years ago I picked the white uniform with red sash and medals. It was while on a trip down under, The Australian Postal Service was holding a promotion where you could have a postage stamp printed with your photograph, so I had a sheet of stamps run off with Crusty looking resplendent in his Thai uniform and posted a bunch of letters back to friends in Thailand. The Thais didn't think it was funny and said I should be arrested ! They really can't laugh at themselves !

Can you make sure my uniform has the parachute wings on the shoulder as I once did as charity parachute jump so am suitably qualified

SHH don't tell everyone. If truth be knownI was actually in the Parachute pay corp. I used to have to parachute in behind enemy lines and get the lads time sheets then fight my way back to HQ. After all if the lads didn't get paid they wouldn't be very happy soldiers now would they ? Plus if the lads knew their overtime was in the would even kill a few extra for the fun of it

I will have to start and drink in the bars down Bangrak with all the other ex SAS / SBS / Green berets ? Seals / etc etc etc.

As for the badges I think the Master Para badge will suffice. The senior one makes me sound old

Take a gander at the next Thai cop Colonel or above. Thais always wear their wings over the left breast

[H2oDunc]

Crusty there will be no room for the wings over the left breast as this will be full of all the medals you will be presenting me with. The only room left will be the shoulders

The little brown envelopes are ready and waiting
