The Indians are not the problem anymore, they are like the locals worried about all the others.....

I may just try it out on Monday, need to be in Hounslow on my way to West Mid Hospital.

The whole area will have changed but if you like different foods Hounslow may just whet your appetite. Even has a Turkish restaurant now..............and if you like Indian, well it is well represented.

I knew of Polish shops but Ukrainian and Russian, that is a find.

Got a chest X-ray on Monday. Pretty sure I am just suffering sinusitis which a good dose of anti-biotics will cure, the weight loss, well i am working very hard for an old codger.

It is lovely, only 4 percent but quite a session drink I think. Thing is I can't do sessions anymore...............

Now drinking the Hooper's Dandelion and Burdock beer, quite nice indeed.

What worries me is that I am eating Wagon Wheels, fish and chips, pies, chocolate chip cookies, occasional beer and wine and other snacks and yet I am losing weight.

Well I decided to see if I could have a few beers without crashing out. Started on the Hobgoblin again but with cake.

Cheers. Just checked my weight and I am 12 stone 13 lbs, I was 14 stone 11 lbs in April. p.s well done on your weight loss if planned.

Just got in from shopping after buying a pair of trousers size 34 waist. I haven't got into a 34 waist in over 35 years. Lost so much weight doctor has sent me for tests but I feel fine. Bought some scales as well, my weight had dropped 1.5 stones in 5 months. need to check how I am doing as haven't weighed myself for 3 weeks.

I did PhI Phi a few months before the Tsunami and I loved it, so laid back, a small wooden pier, no big hotels, no mass of tourism, really peaceful. Went back this year and I went wow, it was like Piccadilly Circus, too many tourists, too many structures in a maze of streets, really overcrowded, I think it is off my 'to do list again' now.

Don't think Chiang Khan has a large road like that on the Mekong but I could be wrong.

I was there in April this year and I walked a long the beach probably to where you were staying, I got a view but I was on the level not raised up like you. Looks so peaceful until you arrive back at the pier with the thousands of tourists and the McDonald.

Presume that is the Mekong, maybe Nongkhai?

Wow, that is a view, is that Phi Phi

Keep the report coming, I always look back at threads like this if I am heading in the same direction. Thanks

Just woke up after crawling into my bed last night after falling asleep on the sofa. Hadn't drunk all week, have two beers and crash out. I have 't managed to consume more than 2 beers before falling asleep in the the last month. Doesn't hold good for the drink up in London or Leeds. I will be asleep in the corner missing all the chat. It might be though that I am working so hard that the two beers just help in the sleep that I need.

In Tesco tonight I loved DandeLion and Burdock as a child, used to drink a lot of it when I was living in Wales. Thought I would try this version, should be interesting.

Don't know how you do it mate, I am on my second Hobgoblin and suffering. I am attempting to cook a beef stew, well I think it is a beef stew! I will be having one of these later if I don't crumble.

Just started on a 5.2 percent ruby HobGoblin

I will partaking with my first beer later but waiting for somebody to come and talk to me about crime in my area, thought I better hold back on the beer for a while.

Oh the Taff, that brings back memories.

Right off out to the doctor for a full blood count test.
