I have a story from many years ago which is of zoological interest, not to be used as erotic reading material by certain BMs who i won't mention by name. I was working in a remote location living in a construction camp. We had adopted a camp dog which barked if strangers came to the gate but also chased after a monkey which used to come over the wall scavanging for food. One day the dog cornered the monkey around the back of the generators and trapped it in a corner, barking and snarling. The monkey made a leap out from the corner and grabbed a pail of waste engine oil that it threw over the dog. The amazing thing from then on was that the dog cowered whenever the monkey came near and the monkey even used to jump onto the back of the whimpering dog shagging it.

I remember listening to Inflammable Material a lot. Surprised to see that Tin Soldiers wasn't on that akbum

I think we're more sensitive to it now after covid. People always coughed in an antisocial way, but we didn't really think how far those droplets could fly or how easily transfer could be made from hands to surfaces to us.

It's the tipper trucks loaded with clay from foundation excavations that shake the whole area. Were you crossing the bridge during the truck ban? Not sure if these timings are upto date: Trucks with 10 or more wheels are banned from inner Bangkok from 6am to 10am and from 3pm to 9 pm.

The City Lodge was around there but has now turned into El Goucho 2 storey steakhouse on Sukhumvit Soi 19. That whole area is very wobbly and sleeping at City Lodge was more likely than not to result in being woken by heavy trucks shaking the building as if an earthquake had just struck. All those years ago i predicted some sort of structural failure around there. It hasn't happened yet but your wobbly bridge is possibly heading for collapse. Be very careful

Agreed street skills gained from on-the-job training do enable the girls to maximise their income whether they are employed in beer bars, agogo or massage. But their salary depends on other salary rates in the F&B, retail and manufacturing industries. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Is it salary from their employer or other income from customers. Of course persuading us guys to pay more is the best skill a Thai girl can gain.

The girls in the nighlife industry generally have a low educational qualification and perhaps an alternative of factory or farming work. Unsurprisingly nearly all women have strong family building skiĺls and are smart, so no reason to be surprised there. There are girls who can go to a bank, arrange a bank loan, buy a house and also send money home to their family. Many others just manage to survive on a reasonable take home salary. Amounts of THB1,500 per day before LD + BF are not the norm.

Not many these days. But i guarantee after even 1 pint there will be zero pull ups by me.

Good recommendation, i've just got one episode to go. Michelle Keegan has aged well (just checked dob 1987) haven't seen her since Singapore stopped showing the street a few years ago. Joanna Lumley also looking great. Seen a few Harlan Coben adaptions on netflix, all good.

Just did 5 thirsty work

I use google translate a lot, mainly documents though rather than talking. Also more often chinese than thai, but i still think for free it would be the one.

Is this a mini series, when's it coming out?

Good advice. I guess 2 or 3 dips would be possible for most, but with pull ups i doubt even 50% could do 1. Back to the previous post 60kg for 12 reps seems good and i doubt the regular housewife was doing that. For the shoulder press is it 8kg the total weight. What about a standing dumbbell press 8kg each?

BBC report from Wales vs Scotland Wales 26-27 Scotland: The historic Six Nations win that felt like a defeat. Scotlan fans started looking at each other. Fatalism is bred into these people at birth. Still a three-score game, but they know the signs. A rising penalty count, an utter plot-loss in discipline. Avoidable errors. Bad decisions.

Longevity and fertility 50cents

No i got 2. I hadn't heard about even numbers of oranges before

Local MP just came around and gave us all oranges for Happy New CNY

Looking down on the Chinese New Year shopping

Good post. Although i wasn't planning on it Singapore feels like my home now and not so sure about a later move to thailand

Ah ok got it. I'm thinking about losing around 5kg in a reasonable time.

I feel as if i might be over doing the fruit although it seems healthy. I have 2 apples a day plus another couple of fruits - could be jack fruit, farang, grapes or dragon fruit. I water down orange juice about 1 part to 2 parts water.

The US economy is based on a high cost of living. The majority of people employed are employed in service industries such as wholesale, retail, accomodation and food services, medical and care. The expectation of people is to own expensive goods including new cars, go on holidays and enjoy the services available and to be looked after in sickness and health, get a great and expensive education. To be able to enjoy the success of the US economy the workforce need a good income and without the workforce having a good income the rest of the economy will collapse. This all works well in isolation. But when the US economy tries to compete in manufacturing against an overseas low cost economy, for example Vietnam, the high cost of the US workforce will make US manufactured goods uncompetitive and the US corporations will relocate. There is a balancing effect in that economys such as Vietnam are, by exporting and earning foreign currency, increasing their GDP. Vietnam is improving the working conditions and income of their own workforce and the manufacturing advantage is reducing. My feeling is that governments and employers in the US taking on the care of the sick and old through pensions and welfare arrangements instead of families looking after their own will eventually break the system.

Just had a 500 step stroll around the condo to get my steps up to 20,000 today - bit sad i know. Earlier managed a 2km run with no knee pain at all so will try to increase to 3km (5km is my ultimate target) Recently have had a few resting heart rate readings sub 50bpm which is encouraging. Aiming to have a beer as a reward on 9 Feb.
