Funny you should mention that. The missus asked me what I wanted for dinner and I said I would like some fried noodle soup again. I get home and she has ordered pizza. It was also 3 times the price of pizza back home and not as good. I don't know why she asked what I wanted to eat in the first place if she was going to ignore my request.

I'm the other way. Had 3 leaks before the filght whilst having some beers. Then on the plane flew 7 odd hours without needing to visit the toilet.

I have always tried to stay out of money matters relating to the wife's family. I look after the wife and have made it perfectly clear that it is only her money to be given to the family after she has met all her own financial committents. She gives my $400 a week to help pay of the mortgage on our investment property. After that I wish she would save a bit but doesn't happen. Any talk of money at the village and I walk away. However apparently the latest topic has been raised that I have never given her mum any money which I don't believe to be correct. Anyway the missus has just given me $1000 of her money to hand to the old girl before we leave today. Not sure if I am going to play this game as I don't won't to be seen as being a money donor. It is the wife's money and she can give it to her mum but I don't want to be involved. Maybe I think too much.

Yes about sums it up. To me it looks like an old Thai house that has been done up underneath for the bar area. It looks to have a beer garden out the back but I never went out there. if I was living in Udon Thani I could see this becoming my local pub.

With a 130kg of pork bought for the wedding I am wondering for the 4th day what variation of a pork meal I will be having tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drinking with Thai people that just like me like having a drink. The missus is trying too tell me they drink too much. I just see a group of people that work hard and like a drink when time permits. My wife is muttering something about alcoholism and not sure if it is them or me she is referring to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The wife’s sister is even a better cook than her and she always goes the extra mile when cooking for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Breakfast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine is and can do good western food. She was a cook for many a year and when we moved to the UK she started watching cooking shows and writing down the details. She would then cook a meal from what she had seen. The majority of western meals she cooked were top notch. A few needed tweaking but now there is never an issue. Her biggest complaint to me is it is very hard to cook exciting meals for a person who does not like vegetables.

So went to Makro this morning and bought another box of Beer Lao Dark and they were on ice cooling down. Next thing the table of lesbians in front of us have each got a bottle of my beer in front of them. Luckily the missus saw them and it was all sorted. The Leo had run out and my beer was the only one they could find. The missus gave them a box of Leo and I got my beers back. Main thing is 2 of the lesbians are good sorts and I reckon I can turn them back to liking men again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing as someone has moved/stolen/drank the cold Beer Lao Dark I put aside last night. Have just put some more on ice. The wedding guests started drinking whiskey before sun up so I will need to catch up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
