Waiting for the team to get their shit together so we can go and meet the family's newest member, just 3 hours old. Have to say I am really looking forward to it and may even be a tad broody 😧🤭

Definitely go see your doctor, even if you're still not sure about stopping, just go get checked out anyway. Aye, full lifestyle change required, that's what I had to do. You can get new interests, things to do, but one step at a time. Make an appointment with your Doctor, they'll probably send you for a load of blood tests, liver function test etc. Don't stick your head in the sand, ignore it and hope it will go away, that doesn't work!

The one i make every year and fail within hours,take a long break from drinking.In an ideal world it would be a permanent one. Though this year i have to as its taking a toll on my health and well being now.Both physically and mentally.Constantly feel 'ill' pretty much 24/7 but i can live with it,though not for much longer,plus the morning anxiety and depression gets worse now than its ever been,though that may be just down to being a member on here.😀 So yeah,sort my drinking out big time.You just can feel when things ain't right.

My view for dinner.... ☀️

I went there in 2005.Stayed at the Asia Hotel on Orchard road.That went years ago i believe.Loved it there,but by all accounts its a lot more expensive now.Got a cracking little Indo girl out of one of the Orchard Towers bars.

Double shit...I was watching the Magnificent Seven 😧 Van Gerwen V Adrian Lewis now.

Shit, is that on already, I am watching Skyfall, must try harder.

In a taxi back from Stansted. Please daughter don't be sick all over it like the one on the way here a few days ago.

One of the group of companies i worked for had a road building division and regularly had very large contracts on the books. One such was the Newbury bypass, which they built. They surfaced it with a new type of asphalt and all looked fine until one day around 6 months after it was completed, a large lorry slammed its anchores on and the surface rippled up like a loose carpet. Apparently, the liquid bitumen was to blame (not supplied by us) as it was laid when there was a crosswind, which caused problems with the asphalt sticking to the underlying surface. The result was, the whole dual carriageway surface had to be removed and replaced with a new surface. The costs ran into 10’s of millions, which we paid and later got back from the bitumen supplier. If a company as big as that sometimes gets it wrong, what hope for a group of Thais in balaclavas and a couple of shovels getting it right! Corners will be cut, brown envelopes will change hands and they will all be back next year, ready to make more money for the bosses. 😡

Last night's Indian, we had to start, 1 chicken chat and 1 fried spicy King Prawn.Mains were Lamb Tikka Dhansak and Salmon Tikka, with mushroom fried rice and peshwari nan bread,washed down with 2 large Bangla and a large pineapple Juice. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

On our way to Buriram and looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet.

knock it all down and build a shopping centre. 🙂

Singapore, very clean, but they’ve ripped the heart out of the old city in the name of progress!

MVG vs Jackpot , just about to start 🎯

Watching the Darts .. Anderson under pressure

This is where my missus hails from Andy, they grow the sweetest pineapples I`ve ever tasted up there.

You know yourself, and you yourself will change when you want to and are ready, or when the pain, mentally or physically, gets bad enough. No amount of cajoling or supporting someone to change something like that will work if they are not ready and don't want to. Good luck Gal, thought if you are really serious, and I mean REALLY SERIOUS, you'll not need luck, you'll do it. Plenty of various types of support out there as well, should you choose to use it. Don't be shy about dropping me a PM if you want ...

Yes it would, but back then it was much too big and required a lot of maintenance, so it had to go. He had a growing family and was actually saving bit by bit for a car and the money came in handy. I often drive past where Lawrence of Arabia was killed and seen his grave, I wonder what he would make of how prices have risen.

Yes he replaced another legend, Marshy,,,,,,

A few strong teams this year but, yes, QPR are in with a shout. You need Stan Bowles out there again, he was a character, played for Brentford as well. I would like to read his autobiography.....

My best friend married a.Korean woman. Now retired in Seoul. -13C....and the killer "feels like -20" TBH, better marry an Indo, Thai or Flipper !

I tend to drink after but in a pub on Parsons Green, hate drinking out of plastic....

Really good place to visit. We went for the F1 a few years ago and had a great long weekend.

Well, the washer/dryer finally packed up last night, it had been complaining for some time, sometimes not spinning and at other times not drying and finally it stopped doing anything. So got online at Argos and bought a new one, I’ll find out if I’ve made the right choice when the wife gets home. I blame her for it braking, she doesn’t seem to know what “7kg load” means, so I’ve upped it to 10kg, in the hope that she can’t feck this one up. 😟

Just walked up the soi. No sign of any machinery but lots of uncleared rubble. It's almost like they have scraped it flat and back to the level of the drains, and left it. At the 3rd road end there's little been taken off, at the other there's a 6+ inch "kerb " up to the buildings on each side.

Wouldn't miss any of the establishments on that soi tbh. In fact one of the bars on that soi had the worst lineup of any bar I've ever seen.

Just thinking that there have been a few threads and posts lately that I am clueless as to what they are about or mean.

Just booked a four day side to Singapore for early in the New Year.

Agreed.

Maybe, question is at which end.

Is it steam-driven?

The ingenuity of Asians is just brilliant at times.

it was and probably still is privately owned by the family that OWNS 90% of the soi buildings. its never been adopted by the city but has always been a drain from thrid road during floods. a lot fo the smaller sois are terrible too but this is the worst. I have known probably 6 resurfacings along there. come august it will be a mess again. imagine what the foundations are like down there!

Not sure , it was a goats cheese , I think 🙂

It has been resurfaced several times in the past with the potholes reappearing within a couple of months.

I would drive up and down it often while living in Patts and i cant believe its took so long to re surface the soi. Now are we sure its not just a scrape and fill the pot holes with rubble which has happened in the past..!

A good evening at Le Pub. Thanks, Phil, for providing the buffet. Enjoyable evening.

Chiang Khan, arguably the prettiest market street in Thailand....should have got some daytime pics really so you can see the wood house lined street better.
