No dount doubt H/M id going to Bangers to celebrate the Hammers win over the Liverpool, what a surprise, could call for the jellied eels and liquor what!

Big elctrical storm here last night about 2300hours, someone must have copped it but here in the West End we had hardly any rain, thought we were in for a real downpour. This rainy season is the driest I have known and I have a few, well, 5 or 6 then.

[billd766]

River still high in the Metropolis but no flooding round here, just damn hot!

Went under the bridge today and it looks very much to me that they have been putting in stancheons in the river to take a 3rd lane southbound between the old bridge and the new one, may be in the offing next year, no sign of the same on the northbound apart from the supports that have been there for some time.

Bunting out in the city, I suspect another Noodle Love in shortly, chicken blood, feet optional.

All your water must be coming from rivers other than the Ping as here it's large sand banks.

The bunting is being got ready for H/M visit Allegedly I shall be using the Bypass on the 6th on my way to BKK.

Come on Chicken's feet/Blood in N/S you cant get Mushrooms or Liver there now your trying to tell me you can now get those delectable Chickens feet pull the other leg.

H/M.

The Bhumibol dam north of Tak is only 46% full so they are not releasing much water which is why the Ping River is so low. If the Chao Phraya river in NS is high it must be from the Nan river.

The Nan River originates in the Luang Prabang Range, Nan Province. The provinces along the river after Nan Province are Uttaradit, Phitsanulok and Phichit. The Yom River joins the Nan River at Chum Saeng District, Nakhon Sawan Province. When the Nan river joins together with the Ping River at Pak Nam Pho within the town Nakhon Sawan it becomes the Chao Phraya River. The Nan river runs about 390 miles south.

Up there they did have a lot of rain and floods.

Not going to celebrate W/Hams win didn't we do well also Leister 5/3 over M/U watched all live with English commentary interspersed with the Grand Prix.

H/M is going orf to Blighty on the 8th only for a quick trip to see family and daughters new house. Could also include Eels. Oh and roast Beef and lot's of Lamb + the odd several pints of delish bitter.

Don't panic I do have a Comp: over there and shall be keeping up with what's going on, might if your lucky send a few posts back on how thing's are going.

Not looking forward to the trip as I shall be going with BA they as anyone who has ever flown with them would know are CRAP.

But I shall be returning with EVA so not all a pain. Have already booked my flight on the 4th November, Should if all go's well be back in the city of Liver Mushrooms & imported Ale late on the 5th just in time for the floating the bit's down the river thing on the 7th.

Please don't put to much Bunting out as H/M will be passing N/S ASAP, and I also won't be signing any autographs as we trot down the Bypass, regardless of any begging.

H/M.

Most people that go home for the holidays usually choose Christmas and New Years. But, you're going home for Halloween. Interesting choice!

I usually flew Virgin but I once remember taking a BA flight from LAX to LHR. There was a little old lady that was trying to get a bag in the overhead bin so I offered to help her. She turned out to be one of the flight attendants!

I drove back to swampy on Sunday. The Nakkers bypass had a new feature, a stretch of sand extending about 30 metres which may ( or may not ) have been covering up an earlier oil spill. The traffic wasn't taking any chances so vigorous lane changing seemed to be the order of the day.

The stretch was just south of the Home Solutions hardware store which was previously the Homex store which then became the Homemart store. Clearly their marketing department believes in frequent rebranding as the way to profitability.

I stopped at the service station on the southbound <9> prior to the airport to refuel the hire car before dropping it off. An elaborately decorated bus pulled in emitting the loudest 'music' I have ever head outside a rock concert. I know the buses can play all sorts of video and music at intolerable volumes but this was something else. The poor shell shocked sods inside staggered out into the toilet where I noticed their aim had been visibly affected by their ordeal resulting in some local Chao Phraya like flooding of the urinal floor. Quite a few of them were sticking their fingers in their ears as they reluctantly reentered the bus.

Dropped the car off at Hertz where we were attended by a tall, well groomed, deep voiced service representative sporting a frilly dress that looked like it would have been quite at home on a catwalk somewhere. I can only assume Hertz has an adventurous new uniform policy or relaxed its dress code for Ladyboys.

I think it was not an oil spill you saw covered with sand, the KPP Hunt have been about and they just dont clean up after their mounts, the sand does cover the luggage and help to mask the pong.

Anoither stancheon has appeared on the N/S side of the river between the bridges, less than 10 yards south of the u-turn to the north, looks like they are making rapid progress, dont suppose it wil last.

Wayne I have got to go back it's a banking bond thing last one thank Buddha as they are now only offering 1.5% interest. All due to some colonist plonkers that buggered lot's of banks some time ago allegedly + as I said my daughter has just got a new house and have to sort out the colour color AM for my bedroom cant leave it to the family as it could turn out Pink. Just the thing maybe for Bills Hertz lady man, did you get his phone No: Bill???.

I do know what you mean about BA trolley dollies the one's on my trip out also looked decidedly old but they could help out putting thing in the overhead lockers then again it could be that they had lowered same.

A full report on BA will be winging it's way from H/M after I have returned to Blighty.

I hate dressing up for Halloween and the likes the last time I attender one of same was a few years ago when H/M youngest who happens to be Stephen Hawking, him of the wheel chair & computer private nurse invited me to a pub in Cambridge and Stephen came along all of the locals thought that someone had togged themselves up as him just shows you how thick they are there. I think their referred to as Carrot crunchers. Anyway hated every moment and went home early.

Regarding the Hunt going down the bypass not a chance Dave, the last time we tried to venture near there all the horses got a coughing fit some 100mt after we had left K.P.P province and wouldn't go a hoof farther. So it's got to be OIL but don't panic you peeps that have to travel that way it's nothing unusual in N/S just look at the trees (there the oil grey half dead thing's resembling trees) that abound in N/Smog. For the real thing you will have to go several some 45 or so KM north and then for some reason 'maybe lack of Diesel fumes' here's a thing they all seem to turn shades of real bright green.

Re masking the pong how much sand would they need to mask N/S petrol Fume's pong. Bill you have advanced mathematics there's one for you.

H/M.

Evidence of Climate Change down here in Nakkers, last night we had rain and today where is the sun, we had it yesterday, yes definetly evidence of the big swiz tax scam unfurling here, just have to hope the authorities dont put 2 and 2 together and get 5 last the rest of the world. I am opting out just for the record.

I am told although I have not been out there that the end of the Nakkers by-pass, where is meets the Tak Road is turning into a a spaghetti junction with many lanes, just go show what the future holds for the "Hub City" ( no horses from 2017, or, men in fancy dress obsessed with West Ham and Jenthru Tull). Rumour has it that KPP is to be twinned with Romford ( England's answer to Magaluf), not confirmed though.

K.P.P now has the Banana festival going lots of stalls selling food goodies and whatnots it's going to run till Sunday so H/M has been informed.

This year for the first time Mr's H/M will not be entering the Miss banana princess competition I think it's because she has got peed orf with coming last, but she won't admit to it.

Mrs M/H cooked a Thai dish last night she has done it before and always makes it to spicy so I ask if she would kindly put less chillies in it, well the upshot was it nearly burnt my mouth out. I ended up at the eleventh hour with eggs and bacon.

Replying to my question of why she hadn't made it less hot her reply was that's how they do it in BKK and it ok for Thais. I didn't have the heart 'To scared' to tell her that I wasn't in BKK or a Thai come to that.

H/M has had problems with his Internet connection keeps cutting out and I've been left high and dry. I was trying to sent this reply this morning and as I posted it the bloody thing went down and by the time it had come back on not only had my post been deleted it had buggered my comp set up took me well over an hour to reprogram it.

All hopefully sorted they TOT that is will be arriving tomorrow morning and will be fitting a fibre optic cable with that they tell me I will get 20mb I'll believe that when I see it.

Regards K.P.P twinning with Romford the powers that be have decided to not go with Dave's suggestion and have now opted for Oxford or and other places that are in the Cotswolds, much more befitting us upper class.

H/M has you'll be pleased to hear complied with your PM request Dave to ask Skunthorpe if they wouldn't mind being twined with N/S and their reply was they would be pleased to be twinned with anyone even N/S they did put forward an idea that maybe you could be double twinned. They pinned the suggestion of twinning the river district of N/S to Cleethorpes that being on the North sea and full of Flotsam and Jetsam + grey water not to dissimilar to the conditions in N/S could be just the thing.

H/M will leave it to your elders to discuss the idea but don't leave it to long as there might be other places "not that I can think of any orf hand" that would jump at the idea and you could be left on the side lines.

H/M.

Fred.

My internet has been out a total of 17 days this month so far. TOT is totally useless, like having "Tits On Turkeys". They actually ran 924 meters of new telephone line because one group came in a van and didn't have a ladder to check the connections in the line extender amp which has been an on going problem so they passed the buck to another crew to replace the "bad" line. Guess what when they connected it it didn't work and they had to go to the amp and redo the connections. Now my modem with no connection on two computers connected to it. I've replaced the cables, connected them to all four ports on the router and even took one computer to the shop where it works fine. But the WiFi works fine with my laptop, using it now, and they still haven't come to fix it even though I finally got the tech to agree that it's bad. Sorry for the ramblings but TOT is not a good acronym to use around me!

I just got the bill . Maybe I should prorate it and only pay for 13 days. Bet I get their attention fast as they disconnect me!

Mike the chap that owns our local restaurant had major problems with his comp: connection his wife did just what you said and went into TOT and said as they had crap service from them they would be only paying for 2 weeks out of 4 and they excepted it.

She did it quite a few times in the end he has had free of charge a fibre optic cable fitted and now he get's top notch connection.

They as said came today and put the new optic cable in all ready for the TOT man to come and fit the new modem what ever tomorrow, still using the old set up and it's just about plodding on.

Will give a full report middle of the week that's if it's working at all by then.

If you want any sort of service you have to go into TOT and give them a good talking to no good phoning as that will get you nowhere.

Best of luck.

N/B I have only ever had one bill from them and that was 6 months out of date.

TOT have been upgrading round here and then want you to pay another 200bts for what seems to be a crap service! True have also been upgrading and for a week after it was supossed to finish it was crap, better now but things should be better.

Bit of a Chinese doo at the moment, some sort of banana festival, here, naturally it is twinned with noodles, is this what the world has been waiting for?

Climate change linked to women's skirt size is the latest from the new tax brigade, personally I think climate change is a load of old................. did dinosaurs stop flying in planes to save the planet, no and no again, they were releasing so much methane into the atmosphere that it attracted any passing asteroid to call in!

Time for some banana noodles!

No update on H/M set up comp: wise the TOT man will be arriving later to fit the new modem. Still working on the old set up that seems to be behaving it's self so far.

But that aside this email/post is about the colonist and us others that played golf to-wit the Ryder cup over the weekend well for those that don't know we won and very decisive it was too 16,1/2 for us others and 11,1/2 for the colonists not to sure but I think you could call it a white wash. Tom Watson has a lot to answer for. Just a little rub it in, we have won 8 times in the last 10 games.

H/M.

Fred.

[wayned]

I saw the score. I never was much into golf. When I was in High School we used to go to a driving range every now and then but was banned when I somehow broke the windshield of the owner's car that was in the parking lot well behind me so I gave up.

It seems that American Football is becoming more popular in England as I am watching the replay of a game that was played in Wembley this morning at 0700. There are three games scheduled this year up from the one that was played in 2008. The next game is scheduled for October 26 and tickets are on sale now and you'll conveniently be there. There was a gigantic party in Regent St. the night before to welcome the teams.

H/M Turkey now has tit's on.

The man from TOT has just fitted my new modem/router thing and am getting 21.8mb down load and 2.6 upload. What I was getting before was 9mbDL and 0.4UL that's if I was lucky. Yes am paying a bit more some 200bt a month but I think worth it. So far so good I will keep all posted as time progresses.

Now a hole 3 games a year of Colonist so called football in England I cant wait to get my padding and crash helmet out.

Shall H/M be going not on your life it drives me mad just watching 10 minutes of same to many time outs and just throwing a ball then running and jumping up and down.

Now Rugby there's a game played by men for men and not a cheerleader in site we don't need them to try and make it interesting it already is. Loads of blood and broken bones not unlike H/M when Mr's H.M see me talking to a younger model in the local bar.

Talking of Young models Mike him of the German beer has just got a new waitress, his wife picks them and they are all be it very nice are a trite on the large side he's now decided to rename his Restaurant Weight Watchers Inc:

OK Fred, will take a stab at it. Just need to brush up on my oleaginous chemistry and the Navier Stokes equations first. That and an estimate of the number and types of noxious fume emitting entities in the province in question should just about do it.

In future if you can use smaller less technical word it'll help the lower classes down south. Come to think of it H/M as well.

Hope your having a good time in Aus been nice here during the day but the nights are somewhat rubbish. I'm orf back via BKK on Monday not looking forward to it as the weather seems to be changing somewhat in Blighty.

In future if you can use smaller less technical word it'll help the lower classes down south. Come to think of it H/M as well.

Hope your having a good time in Aus been nice here during the day but the nights are somewhat rubbish. I'm orf back via BKK on Monday not looking forward to it as the weather seems to be changing somewhat in Blighty.

You'll like my new router it look just like the Sputnik about 6" x 6" two antennas poking up from the back and loads of flashing lights not one of your designs is it???

H/M.

Update on new comp: set up.

All's still working fine not had any problems regarding lack of connection still getting over 21mb even at peek times. Looks like the optic cable is the way to go.

If your modem looks anything like one of these then you could be right-

or

then again that would put you 38,786 kilometres above the earth travelling at 3 kilometres/second( bit like hitting one of the larger bumps on the Nakkers bypass)

No: 2 look like it without the wings but it does have flashing lights not unlike Blackpool illuminations.

There I was yesterday looking at my CTH when I came across an Colonist cooking program. What were they given to create a meal with you'll like this SMOKED Kippers. The term was used several times so there was no mistake of same.

A Kipper is a smoked Herring there is no such thing as a smoked kipper.

Some time ago H/M was berated by one colonist over his use of the term Manx Kippers. They are undyed smoked Herring, come on then Wayne an update on why your mob call a Smoked Herring a Smoked Kipper.

Oh while H/M is at it the comp: connection is so far working fine still getting over 21mb. Any down load I click on is extremely rapid well except for TV as they still make you wait till all their bloody adverts come up.

H/M.

It's not only us that call them "smoked kippers". It seems that this mob located in Kent and London also calls and sells "smoked kippers"! The last time that I checked they were both in the UK!

As far as internet, Mine's back and no one came to my house. It just magically started working. The best I ever get is 5MB download and less than 400kbps upload but I'll never get fiber as I'm the only one out here with a land line.

Pack your long johns and rain gear, it's currently 55 degrees and foggy in London.

Have a nice day!

Wayne my connection is a ToT WiNet which isn't too bad unless there is thunder and lightning about or the usual power outages when it just dies. The ToT tower has lost 3 heads due to lightning strikes in 2 1/2 years usually aroubd 5.30 pm on a Friday night when everybody has gone for the weekend. It is managed from KPP but of course they have to send out a team first and then ring KPP to find thate there are no spare heads in stock and one has to be sent from BKK Usually a 5 day turn around.

We applied for a land line when we first came here 10 years ago but I guess by now they have probably lost the application form.

Fortunately I have a library and there games I can play and movies to watch on the pc, whisky and sodw with ice is always available and in the worst case I could always speak to my wife.

Have a great weekend. Sadly for me the kids broke up for the school holidays yesterday and there are 6 of the little buggers invading my house as I write this.

An update.

My phone line is still the old one. They TOT have rerun a new optic cable to the house, well right up to the comp: Cost if anyone is interested was 499bt I think that was for the router/modem thingy 3 boxes of same. Wire etc was free.

Wayne Kippers.

The adverts that you put in was for OAK smoked kippers that is to signify that the smoke used was oak giving a slightly different & better flavour. Your mob just called them smoked kippers.

Thanks for your exciting update on how the weather is going in Blighty, as luck would have it I still have lot's of ski gear so I shouldn't feel that bad, only hope my mother has put the heating on.

The only thing I can look forward to is that I shall be back in BKK on the 5th Nov: Up in K.P.P on the 5/6th depending if I stay over a night. Just in time for the floating down the water thing on the 7th.

I shall try of cause try to eat as many kippers (Smoked Herring) as am able.

I can visualise them now on my plate as I tap lot's of buttered crusty bread and not a chilly in sight Delish.

You lower class will like this H/M has buggered his Limo (The Tank) there I was the other day backing out of the drive (Chauffeurs day orf) and I noticed that the kind electric man had left the bill, I plonk the hand brake on and got out to retrieve same it was then out of the corner of my eye I noticed the tank floating orf in a backward direction over the Soi all on it's own only stopped before it went into a clong by some trees after a bit of buggering about + the aid of 4x4 I did manage to get it out now have to have the back bumper type things replaced Going to take it in just before I set orf on Monday they are going to sort it and return to the house.

Oh why did it go on it's own 'up hill' I had left if in reverse gear. I have put it down to thinking about the colonist's Smoked Kippers.

H/M.

Fred.

Hey Fred

Toyota have this wonderful set of letters next to the gear lever like P, R, N, D, D3, D2 and maybe even D1.

If you waggle the gear lever into the P position you can start the car and it even locks the transmission so that the car drive off on its own.

Even my ex wife in the UK knew that bit.

On the other hand if you have a scabby old pockup like mine and bend the already bent back bumper nobody notices.

TBH all the dents and scapes on the pickup are mine except 1 and that belongs to SWMBO.

What about this mob? No Oak anywhere, just smoked kippers, 3.47GBP. Same as the smoke that you are blowing my way! Did you really plonk on the hand brake or is that what you want to remember, short term memory is a bitch!

More stancheons for a new southbound crossing over the river have come into sight next to the U-turn under the current bridges, it will be interesting to see when the extra lane is in action, a lot to do but I bet its up and running before the next General Election.

Kipper in a tin and then covered in sun flower oil I bet no one buys them.

I did try Waitrose frozen kippers from Topps Pitso once and they were absolute rubbish.

I still go by my first statement a kipper is a smoked herring, not such a thing as a smoked kipper.

That product is sold by Amazon mail order say's it all really.

Re the gear Bill I would have been ok if I hadn't had the engine tuned up, even just on tick over it was to powerful for the hand brake it's those bloody colonist smoked kippers that are buggering my driving up.

Note to self don't let the chauffeur have a day orf.

Last day tomorrow orf to BKK Monday ready for flight on the 8th.

Cant imagine what I shall do to while the hours away.

H/M.

Fred.
