And still be spending as much time as you feel necessary socialising in Bangkok which is exactly what you do now mate. 🤣

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Well, if I didn't have business here .. then I would not come so often .. now it is about 1 week a month ... believe me .. it is hard to leave my cushy life on the sea ...

Most of the time when I am in BKK  .. I work ... yea, I get out now and then .... and rise some hell .. chase and catch some skirts .. normal .. I think ...

I love work .. it is unimaginable what I would do if I didn't work  ( probably end up in trouble -- it has a way of finding me ) .. it has provided me with good balance in my life

I really like Hua Hin and Cha Am ( the beaches are not as rocky ) ...

A shit load of really, really good places to eat ....

Plenty of good looking gals around ... just not in your face like Patts ...

The sea is a lot cleaner there than Patts

Plus, the Thai people are certainly friendlier there than Patts .. not everyone is out for your baht

I agree with HorizonDave ....

I could live there easy ...

Been wet again here this morning, so spent it sat on my ass playing with my mates old laptop. Doing a complete factory reset.

The sun came out eventually, so I took the oportunity to do a longer walk of 4.5 miles, then go to Tescos to stock up on the essentials.

Now showered up and settled down to a night of TV and low alcohol beer.

If you were here .. I would give you a nice laptop ... this is my one "toy" weakness .. laptops ... I have 7 or 8 of them lying around and they are all pretty new within the last couple of years .... all loaded with memory and all of them have at least 1TB ....

I keep bouncing back to this Thinkpad X1 Extreme I9 .... it has all of the ports I need and the keyboards are just fantastic on all Thinkpads ... plus, it is memory upgrade-able ( got it maxed out ) and slots for 2 SSD drives ..... this machine rocks

Sitting on the balcony and wondering why the asians in the block to the left of me booked balcony rooms,as i dont think ive seen any of them on the balcony,could have got loads of places with much better food for the same price downtown bkk.

I have a really big terrace ( really big ) in my BKK condo .. hard to find in BKK ... but, I think the Thais only use their balcony to hang their clothes out to dry .. I NEVER see any Thais sitting on their balcony's ..

Well, I partied my ass off all night ... met a gal I know in Ekamai ... hung out and I drank a shit load of beer , came back to my condo .... we had a blast ... problem is that when you "play you pay" ( not so much the baht ) but the brutal hang over .....

Plus, I always get out of bed at 4:30 am ... once I am past that time I cannot sleep ... my body and brain will not let me ... so, I am sitting here -- been at it all night ( she is sleeping ) ... trying to get it together ..... paying the price right now ....  it sucks!

But, it is another day .. so, I gotta make the most of it .. cowboy the f**k up !

Dragged myself out of bed early for me. 9am.

My Census dropped throught the door yesterday so I went on the Government site and completed it online. Very easy and quick.

It's pissing it down outside so no motivation to do much again apart from a walk later.

My 10 year old Probook crashed on me yesterday from over heating. The cooling fan wasn't running. Tried to strip the laptop out to clean, but gave up when I realised what was involved and I just couldn't be bothered to completely strip it. Why laptops are built this way I have no idea.

Plan B was to use my hoover on full kack against the intake and outtake vents to try to suck out any dirt and to force the fan to rotate. This worked and the fan ran noisily for a while, but has settled down to being quiet now.

The realisation that I can't expect it to run forever and with W7 now not being supported, it is perhaps time for a new one. So it's research time for a similar sized machine to meet current needs.

Bro .. just make sure you get at a minimum 16gb ( 64 gb preferably - but, that can get a little costly ) and an SSD hard drive to plop on the operating system ... good SSD drives are cheap ...

WIN10 isn't so bad once you strip out the bullshit ..  telemetry , etc.  ... I have a number of scripts I can send to you to "clean" up Win10 ... plus, there are a number of things you need to "turn off" in WIn10 and I have a cheat sheet for that as well ....

Bored as f**k with this 'Megan and Harry' shite!

Never thought i'd have see the day i'd be screaming for Covid stuff on the news, instead of this shite!

I didn't watch ... I feel sorry for Harry though .. this gal really knows how to "drive" a wedge between a family .. no respect!

Not for me to say ... but, I will say anyway .. love I understand - but you cannot be spineless ....

Back in BKK .. I already think everyone knows what I am up to .....

For all us armchair scientists, we now have access to a detailed database of C19 cases. @code_slayer_bkk we should apply our data analytic expertise on the database and save humanity. I'd be more than willing to share the Nobel Prize with ya. 

New Google.org COVID-19 database could hold key to disease's mysteries

https://global.health/

 

Well, give me all the shit you want .. but, I am pretty fucking good at what I do ... I am certain I could squeeze some informative ( 100% relative ) shit out of the data ...

Saving humanity -- let it save itself ... it got itself into this shit to begin with ....

The first thing I would start with is the over weight people and the effects of the china virus ...

The Richest Man in Babylon ...

For about the 5th time .. a good read

I don't know .. just all of the trucks on the tollway getting to the South out of BKK towards Rama II on the way to Ratchaburi ( before Cha Am and Hua Hin ) is a total mess .. the toll booth just before Samut Sakhon .. jeez 

You get these big semis all three lanes ( including the passing lanes ) ...

At least the highways are pretty good ...

Thailand did get it right 100%

You have no idea, but that's good for you believe me.

You know Bro .. I agree .. Thailand I think did get it right .. maybe it is all of the sun here .. who knows

I really don't know how other countries have handled this .. my feet are not on the ground ..

But. I seems to me people have to be strong and versatile ... this china virus it not the first and won't be the last ... 

Stay safe Bro ....

Yes, a virus is unpredictable, exactly the point.

Some people just couldn't give a f**k about anyone else but themselves, knowing the virus was unpredictable. Indeed even boasting about doing what they wanted and not giving a f**k about anyone else.

Anyways, this is a what do you love today thread, not yet another Covid one.

Yea .. I love the fact that I am alive and can say what I think ....
