I can never understand this witnessed or countersigned thing.
How do they check?

When you a photo like this it brings it home to me how many women have had work done on their boobs. Not just size but shape.

Most small dogs especially terriers think they are way bigger than they are

Plenty of small blokes the same.

Sorry... that one flew over my head. What's a fcuk dog ?   For breeding ?

Apologies game in this context is a British expression meaning that it will take on or face off to anything regardless of size.
Brave bordering on stupid.

Fucking heat getting turned on here in the next 5mins.

Sake!

Ditto. Heating on in mid April when normally windows open and shopping in shorts.

I'm beginning to think they may be a little bit too high strung for me.

Those I know were not high strung but a good hard working biddable-ish terrier and I agree with Maipenrai that it needs to be given the chance to work. All it needs is a hole in the ground preferably with something to displace.
I have no idea if they have what I term "show" breeds which are lookalikes without the work in them.

After my last trip to south east Asia I will get one of these game as f**k dogs.

Monkey Dog....

A couple of these will keep me very busy somewhere down the road....

 

 

My gamekeeper friend had to put covers over the fox masks he had hanging on the wall as his Patterdale was tearing out the plaster with his claws running up the wall trying to reach them. He just wouldn't stop.

Keep this lot away from fire and high heat.

Am I the only one who finds these women unattractive?

I just gave all my old school measuring stuff to my keen as mustard apprentice last month as I guess I'm retiring for the last time

Micrometers snap gauges calipers etc some had been given to me by my grandad and had usmc 1941 on them 

Sad in one way but good that you are passing it on to someone who has a use and will, hopefully, use and appreciate them.

Many a pick truck loaded down with clothes, water and food went from Phuket to the Kao Lak area donated by Thai's and foreigners alike. There was no discrimination on who received help.
Many a foreigner almost emptied their wardrobes to donate.
Others emptied their wallets or purses when a whip round was made in the small beer bar area in Karon. 300,000 baht in under an hour. This was given to "Freddie Mercury" who turned it into the above supplies and shipped it north. I just wish that he hadn't showed us all the photos he took though.
Many foreigners volunteered their time and expertise to build temporary accommodation in Khao Lak.

Many, many acts of kindness and compassion were seen. 3 months later all back to normal unfortunately.

Is the swimming pool bar on the dark side still going? You throw coins in the pool and they strip naked to go get it.

Never heard of Wasitai before, It's going to come in handy I think. Thanks for posting.

I have worked in 10 Asian countries but Myanmar was the one that gave me problems due to Barclays which is why I drew the initial connection with  @karon steve

I have made short trips to Myanmar but haven't stayed there for any length of time. The Karon name I use is because I had the Bonsai  beer bar followed by Our House a bar, restaurant & guest house in Karon beach Phuket.
As far as I know I am not on a watch list but who knows. I do not have a criminal record and have only ever been stopped by Customs twice in my many years of travel. 
At the time I did wonder why the IO was a little abrupt this trip so there may well be something in what has been said. I will ask next time.

2 nights ago I flew Etihad BKK-AUH-LHR and breezed through both Swampy and T4 in less than 20 minutes each. A slight delay taking off at Swampy meant that I had to skip the lounge in AUH as it was only 55 minutes between deplaning and boarding the LHR flight.

My passport still won't scan at Heathrow so had to use the desk agent yet again.

My next dog. Maybe I'll get 2. 

 

When they go, I'll go. I'll go happy.

 

 

 

Look at the smiles on those guys ! True love.

My gamekeeper friend had a black Patterdale and a right hard dog it was. Seen pulling a fox out of it's lair whilst the fox was clamped on it's face.

A friend's pre-teen daughter happens to like pearls. They often take beach vacations to look for them.

One Christmas she told him she wanted a pearl necklace as a gift. He told her to go google and show him what types she preferred.

Don't do that.

In a similar vein many years ago my stepdaughter, at the tender age of 13, asked me to buy her a "talking dick". Apparently this is a talking dictionary.

Ye,I thought id catch a motorbike taxi from airport to town,just to see how wild,didn't know what side of the road they drove on for the first 10 minutes.

Regarding hotels,can't remember specific name of area but near a night market 10 min walk from main drag.

If in Siem Reap do you mean Pub street, Walking street and Sok San road area?

Been looking at hotels in phnom phen I usually only go to Thailand for 3-4 weeks this time I'm thinking 6-8 weeks  not been to pp in near 20 years I have heard it has really changed or I might just fly to ankor wat 

Last time I was in pp I stayed at the pickled parrot I think that was on 136 st right in the action

Any suggestions would be great

How long does it take to get from pp to siem reap ? By bus or boat I recall don't go by bus if in the wet season the potholes just about swallowed the whole bus

I was recently in Siem Reap and the prices were approximately $12 - 18 for the bus and $40 - 50 for a taxi for about a 6 hour bus or 5 hour taxi journey to Phnom Penh. You can fly up for about $90. The new Siem Reap airport is an hour and $25 out of town.

A $36 e-visa will get you though Phnom Penh airport quicker and allows you to buy a single ticket if you are undecided on where to next or when. Mine took a just over 24 hours from applying to getting it.

Pass app is the Grab equivalent in Cambodia. I never bothered with a Cambodian SIM card so I used the phone number of an obliging waitress. An aside is that to this day I still see where and when she uses Pass sending me e-mail. 

Personally I stick with riel for everything as if you use US dollar you end up with both anyway. KISS principle.

Siem Reap is a lovely town and handy for the Temples, Tonle Sap etc. but P4P is limited. Sok San road has some shop house girly bars.

If you overstay and have to pay a fine it's worth it as they march you straight to the front of the immigration line telling all and sundry that you overstayed.

The Indians that have been in Pattaya for a long time mostly just opened countless Indian restaurants or tailor shops....

So I would say most of the Indian clubs are backed by new Indian money....These clubs are far from cheap as far as drink prices go....So some Indian tourist seem to be not hurting for cash....

Or one drink split 7 ways?

Didn't NDTV show an Indian guy's bill where he spent 200,000+ baht in an afternoon on Soi 6?
