Loz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Having popped home last week I can report that I still love and miss wild boar and granny smiths sausage sandwiches. I also miss Bounty Bars and licorice allsorts. sadly I went home on a diet and exercise plan so didn't get to indulge. I have some bounty bars for after new year or when I am a 34" waist again. Also miss british indian food. Had a Lamb Dansak with pilau rice and a peshwari naan. Made by God, cooked by jesus and served by the vir gin Mary!

Dave9000 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) A good broom, dynabolts bigger than 30mm x 6mm, Sliding gate bolt with provision for a padlock, Gang nail plates for fixing timber constructions, And.....TBecause I want to mimic the Thai style, I have been trying to find one of those builder's squares that, unlike the ones in Oz, measure a right angle as 95 degrees....and also one of those nifty spirit levels theThais use which apparently measure the horizon as somewhat less or more than horizontal....because why should a door f-*%$#&-g close properly, or fit in the blasted frame, as long as it looks sorta okay from a distance?

BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Beef and particularly STEAK The hamburger/mince here is disgustingly fat. After looking at it I understand why Thais don't eat beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattoo180sx Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I live in Australia but the first thing I have when I get back from Thailand is the good old Mrs Macs meat pie Hahaha me too. Straight to Coles for a mrs macs pie and farmers union. I miss codral cold and flu tablets, they get rid of sneezing in minutes with no drowsiness. Nothing that I've found in Thailand does that without the sleepy feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoother Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 L'ardeche? Great white water rafting there, no? Superb scenery there, I tried the water rafting ride which was not very thrilling but quite pleasant, due to the low level of water during summer. In spring it should be much more exciting. Seen in TOPS supermaket Awesome, thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups They are pretty common is supermarkets that sell Western food here, but I remember when they were not. Someone started selling a simular product and the first day that they would put them out on the shelves they would all be gone and you would have to wait another month or so until they got them again.
