I'm beginning to think maybe Trans is Phil Collins! Yes Phil Collins, and Trans sings as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that The Beautiful South were brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have 3, firstly it is clear to me that everything here in Thailand is supersized when it comes to insects and lizards. FIerce food competition 1) One night I was cleaning up the garbage and heard this crunching noise, I lifted up the bag to find a 15" long Centipede that would not let go of the bag. I cut it in half with a shovel and in the morning it was still alive. I fed it to the chickens. Its mandibles were huge and could easily pack a wallop 2) I was walking through the forest near Mae Sot and walked up on a Giant weaver spider. Had a leg span of at least 8" and was sitting perfectly in its web. As I got within 3 feet to take a picture it flinched up so I knew it could see me 3) I was fly fishing in a khlong in Ayutthaya by my BIL's place and saw this wake in the water coming at me, I ignored it until it headed towards me. It came right out of the water and was a 5 to 6ft long Monitor lizard. F'n thing chased me 50 yards before it gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 One other, I was riding my moto up in the mountains near my home and came around a corner to find this huge bull elephant in the road. In the US we worry about squirrels and an occasional deer. Here its elephants. I grabbed a handle full of brake and left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the terrorists, evil people, child molesters have facial hair. However, I am not saying all people with facial hair are evil, one of my best friends has it, and you could not meet a nicer guy. Well Possum, I am afraid we are miles apart. As a facial hair aficionado of some 30 years, I must say I have never seen anything so offensive, to a true follower of natural hirsuteness, as a designer stubble. Merely a sign of the sheep following the latest trend. To disappoint you further, I have never been a terrorist, evil or a child molester. And my mum loves me, so I must be a nice guy. Maybe I am one of the good ones, like your friend. Maybe we should meet for a cold sherbet, you might just change your tune about (some) of your bearded brethren!!!

Sorry mate, as you say we are miles apart, IMO facial hair is downright ugly, another thing, down through the years, how many goodlooking film stars or recording artists have facial hair?

The gf says, its good luck if they call 10 times and to buy a lottery ticket. Mine calls 10 times just about nightly so I'm always buying tickets but only win 2 numbers usually. Last night I heard THUD THUD THUD down the side of the house and then this came flying in through the window. Don't know what was chasing it.

To open another can of worms, I have noticed that you are a "Bass Playing Member" on the little side bit to the left. I myself prefer six or twelve strings, so alas, I fear we will never see eye to eye. Even the one bass I own has 5 strings ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I said "good looking", that does not apply to some of the people you mention, some of them, David Beckham ie, it is only designer stubble, which I already said was not so bad. Also, some of these actors only grow facial hair main for the movie parts they are playing. Look at the most evil men in the world, Hitler, Gaddafi, Saddam. I rest my case.
