Starkle starkle little twink,

Who the Hell are you I think,

I'm not under what you call,

the alcofluence of incohol.

I'm just a little slort of sheep,

I'm not drunk like thinkle peep.

I don't know who is me yet,

but the drunker I stay the longer I get.

So one more drink to fill up my cup,

I got all day sober to Sunday up.

I'll find out this evening if he managed to pick up a slab before it was sold out. If it's something like Tooheys Old or Speights Old Dark I'll be delighted.

He forgot about it. I was however treated to unquestionably the worst spag. bol. I have ever had the misfortune to have partaken in which was made by his long term gf. I found out after that it consisted of pork mince, onion, carrot and a bottle and a half of tomato ketchup reduced (cooked) long enough to soften the diced carrots. No seasoning or herbs (basil ect) at all. One could come to the conclusion that she is hopeless in the kitchen but her Thai food is exquisite and she makes a damn good roast chicken with salad too. She has a heart of gold so I think perhaps I will give her a quick course on how to make a bog standard meat pasta sauce for her to work on in the future.

So, no Laos dark yet! Maybe I can persuade Jim to drop a case off for me? I'll pay for the beer and exchange the shitload of chocolate I still have in the fridge for transport.

I pushed as much of the sauce to one side as I could and covered the pasta with Parmasan cheese which I just happened to have in my bag. Now I'm back home thirsty as hell from the salt in the Parmasan but plenty of beer (not beer Laos dark) in the fridge. Pork chop defrosting as I type and sort of watching 'The good, the bad and the ugly'

[edit] to keep on topic. I'm disabled so getting to Makro myself is not very easy. Given the price of a taxi on Samui it could work out cheaper just to fly to Laos!

I've asked the local err...... Independent police force but come up empty. They do however do a good service on cases of large Chang which work out at 34 Baht a bottle but you have to return the empties in the case.

      Highway Police Dismiss Allegations of “Gang Stickers” Clearing Routes

      Picture courtesy: Daily News The Highway Police have addressed claims regarding “angel stickers” allegedly used by the so-called "Unwashed Gang" to clear routes without police intervention. This clarification follows suspicions raised by the popular Facebook page “E-Sor Kha-Yi News” about the use of such stickers during a recent event in Phetchabun Province. On 24 November, the Facebook page highlighted the alleged sale of these stickers, priced between 250 and 5,500 baht, supposedly granting vehicles immunity from police checks. The post claimed part of the proceeds funded individuals who facilitate unimpeded travel. It further questioned the integrity of law enforcement in addressing such practices. In response, a source from the Highway Police Command stated that no official reports have been filed concerning these stickers. On the date in question, three police checkpoints were set up along key routes in Phetchabun: 1. Highway 21, kilometre 106, Khok Sa-at, Si Thep District. 2. Highway 21, kilometre 152, Nong Chaeng, Bueng Sam Phan District. 3. Highway 2372, kilometre 8, Na Ko, Lom Kao District. Led by Pol. Lt. Col. Worabadin Lertsuphasinsthit, officers inspected 430 vehicles, including 30 flatbed trucks and 400 motorcycles. Violations issued included: - 38 cases of missing number plates. - 16 cases of unlicensed drivers. - 17 cases of riders not wearing helmets. - One case of missing tax stickers. Authorities also impounded one motorcycle and seized drugs in a separate case. The police emphasised that no consistent symbols or stickers were found on inspected vehicles, suggesting that the stickers referenced might be part of vehicle customisation trends. Moreover, none of those stopped during the operation mentioned the stickers. The Highway Police reiterated their commitment to transparent enforcement and dismissed allegations of complicity in illegal activities, reported Daily News. -- 2024-11-25

      Father and Son Narrowly Escape Fiery Death After Car Fire in Rayong

      A father and son narrowly escaped a tragic accident after their car burst into flames following an explosion in the engine compartment. The incident occurred at approximately 16:00 on November 24, at the Somdej Ya Intersection on Highway 36, inbound to Rayong city, in Thap Ma Subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Colonel Kongthap Preedet, deputy investigator of Rayong City Police Station, immediately dispatched fire trucks from the Thap Ma Municipality and rescue personnel from Sawang Porakun Foundation to the scene. Upon arrival, responders found a black Subaru engulfed in flames. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze, though the vehicle was entirely destroyed, reduced to a charred skeleton. The interior, including seats and the dashboard, was completely incinerated. Fortunately, the driver and his son managed to escape the vehicle moments before explosion. The car’s owner, Mr. Jamnong, 53, recounted the terrifying experience. “I had just picked up my son from his tutoring session in Rayong and was driving home. We were only 500 metres from our house when I noticed thick white smoke pouring from the engine. I immediately pulled over and told my son to get out of the car. I quickly grabbed some personal belongings and important documents before exiting.” Mere seconds after they exited, an explosion erupted from the engine compartment, and flames rapidly engulfed the vehicle. Despite swift efforts by the fire brigade, the SUV was entirely consumed by the fire. The cause of the blaze remains unknown. Mr. Jamnong revealed that the vehicle had recently undergone extensive repairs, costing over 200,000 baht, and had only been back in use for a short time. Authorities have transported the vehicle to an investigative facility, where experts will conduct a detailed examination to determine the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported, but the incident has left the family shaken and serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vehicle safety and maintenance. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25

      Day-to-day life in Myanmar

      Yes I had/have the impression that Myanmar would be a bit of an adventure or project rather than somewhere to locate to long-term. However I have to be honest on your plan of retiring in the Philippines.. that is not somewhere I would choose either. The locals are definitely looking to take advantage of people more than in than in Thailand and are less trustworthy overall. Towards the end of my stay in the Philippines I was pretty much just interacting with other expats/tourists and dealing with locals as little as possible, not to mention the absolute mess they make of their environment, the food... I will stop because I could go on. Maybe you can find a decent barangay/family to chill will but I would really take your time if I were you. Good luck.

      So you blame all Russians for what their leader is making happen there. Even the Russians that have run away from to Thailand? I suppose if your leader decides to commit genocide. We all can blame you for it.
