Love this bread pudding some Thai hotels do at breakfast. Then I wonder how I put weight on in Thailand, the amount of sugar and custard in it ffs

I'm reading this in a taxi on the way to Swampy. Looks like I'm getting out of Dodge in the nick of time, although I thought I had made a two day buffer.

Waiting for taxi pick up 3,30am to malaga airport,got to hotel last night just in time for sunset ,only been here 6 hours. Not a bad way to end a trip offshore.

What's the ratio of girls to vloggers .. ? 😜 555

Dinner last night in malaga.

Coquille Saint-Jacques

Last nights fare was a cheeseturkeyburger....forgot the bacon,then I realised I didn't have any bacon.Doh!

Was laughing yesterday at the quiz program, Tipping Point. Ben asks the question 'which country is the sacred site of Mecca located'. The two girls competing for the final both answered incorrectly. One said Pakistan and the other said, Israel, wow. Ben looked a bit embarrassed. I just thought to myself, now there will be a fatwa sent out on the contestant. Of all the countries to offer up as an answer, I think Israel may not be a good one. Reminds me of working in Brunei (a strict Islamic nation) and my boss (in Singapore) says this month the airline (BA), will be concentrating on pushing Israel as a destination. Of course I let him know that this is impossible to market, advertise in Brunei and told him to offer up another country to market. I was knocked back and told to do my best and the bunting, advertising boards etc., will be arriving. I again told him this is crazy, do not allow head office to send anything to me. He told me I had to abide by what I was tasked with. A few days later I am hauled in the Ministry of Religious Affairs and threatened with arrest and expulsion from the country. BA had sent the advertising etc., via Singapore and was immediately held by customs and subsequently destroyed. It was very embarrassing for me as BA Manager and I had my house raided by the ministry on 2 occasions shortly after that. Luckily it was only a few months before my posting finished, the representation of BA in Brunei ended less than a year later. Common sense left British Airways marketing many years ago and it hasn't got any better.

No idea but would it be somewhere Nightcrawler would frequent?

The only time of year one can honestly say they're happy to have a holiday away from Thailand. Safe travels.

After dinner last night, wifey and I went over to see Phil. Was going to go tonite. Good decision as he is leaving today for Dallas,Texas. Tells me his is fascinated by the JFK assassination and is going to see it up close and personal. He will be on the "grassy knoll" in 2 days. Have not seen Phil since Sept 2018, we did alot of catching up over the hour we were there. Great guy, talked music, concerts, health, and of course girls.

The water madness has begun on Soi 7. I wonder if the bars on Soi 7 will see an uptick in business to justify what in my experience is the earliest start ever to the water madness. As they say, forewarned is forearmed. If you want to avoid getting drenched, Soi 7 is definitely the soi to avoid. Pictures of the war zone during a cease fire this morning.

Last night's Anniversary meal

Just won my 2nd game 7 to 4, giving him a 4 start. Very difficult, miss a ball at the wrong time and it's curtains. Got lucky a couple of times again too! Qualified now for the final knock out stage. Hopefully get lucky with the drawer.

In the IoM we used to get these Manx Queenies,bloody lovely in a krapow with prawns.

Given my praise to Det 5 for consistency in their Penang curry, I was surprised to be served this today. Slopped in the dish and a totally different colour because it was loaded with spice. I can only assume a different chef.

Suprised they didn't mention the Bingo halls ... this was a classic ...

If I was living in Pattaya I would be flying to the Philippines around now and not coming back till the 20th at the earliest.

And today's mental crisps flavour is ...

@fforest, Hard to believe, there's a beach footpath with fewer trees than Pattaya's beach footpath.

For many, the sign on the post must mean no blue circles allowed rather than no waiting or parking.

A look under the partly-closed shutters of LV Beer Bar Complex this evening:

Many guys I know are doing just that. I am staying in Bkk in the hope I can avoid most of it.

I have always bought 99 Baht Addas or the equivalent, normally from the stalls outside Big C..........They last 2 or 3 years of regular use and are perfect for flying in... That was until I took M'Lady to the local market for Valentine's Day this year. I bought her a foot pump and she bought me a pair of 60 baht Addas which are really bloody comfy !! Romantic Bastards!!

Just one then off to LK Metro

Las Vegas beer bar complex opened at 4pm today and my mate says there are a lot of girls there already.

I can't see the point of ever bringing them back.

Sportsman have an option to pick 7 things, so this was my selection, not being that hungry.

He discovered something that has the same name as he? The odds must be astronomical. It’s like Lou Gehrig dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease.

I made it to the last 16, then met one of the top players. I got a 4 start, race to 8. Sat and watched him pot all of the balls, over and over. Lol Beat me 8 to 6. Top 8 got paid, so dipped out again. Beer time!

Just going to start this, might be of interest to @Krapow as it’s set in Belfast.

Playing in the Champions of Champions tournament today, having qualified earlier in the month. Been playing very inconsistent this trip, so not very confident of going deep. Really enjoy the challenge though! Lots of very good players in the field.

Red-tailed Hawk today...

As to be expected. They will employ agency girls to kick start it. The test will be what it is like in a month's time.

My mate sent me a few photos but I won’t put up the photos with them in it.

I doubt these lovely horses can be found in many places in Thailand.

Not so sure, main character called Sean. Now if it was Billy

Says it all....

Knocked up a sticky chicken and cashew nuts. Was lovely, but it is pretty heavy on the salt, so suggest using reduced salt soy sauce if needed. I love the taste of Hoisin sauce. Topped with spring onions, sesame seeds and chilli flakes.

When I was a kid, we went up to my sister’s farm in Alabama. She had a Vespa and being competitive with my older brother, we wanted to race. With only one bike, we settled on time trials around her catfish pond. After a few times doing this, it was my brother’s turn. As he approached the last turn I could see he was going too fast to make and I started running to where the crash would be. He hit the rail fence sideways, with the bike piled on top of him. I got there and he was shaking and jerking around. I thought, “my God, he’s broken his neck.” I grabbed his arm and I started shaking and jerking. He was pinned on an electric fence.

Admiring these beauties

It's actually not bad, not too packed. Plus you can hire a 'hut' for 650 Baht, has aircon, shade, free drinks and some snacks, your own wee place. It's well worth it.
