I'd like to see my final years out here, hopefully another 20 years or more! But then the irony slowly dawned on me, so I've put it in a riddle that @Butch will understand in seconds..Perhaps about 5 others will too.. I now live in Ubon The Province Not the town The name is the same As the place I left Serving for the Crown A riddle was post Butch, is the man, in the know Silence.... time passes I did spend a bit of time on this in the morning and we almost missed math tuition. The Bournmouth suggestion was potentially good except we haven't heard yet either the military or Issan connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the first verse makes it clear that I am in the Province of Ubon Ratchatani but not the town. As for the military unit, @boydeste ate there today ....... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nightcrawler Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 I was about to bin my smart TV and buy a new one after 6 years. It kept switching itself off and some of the remote control buttons were just not working Was about order a new TV with Argos, then I had a thought..... I restored the factory settings on the TV reinstalled everything, reconnected to WIFI. Then prized the remote open with a kichen knife,removed batteries and cleaned the components thoroughly and dried them. Replaced the batteries, switched TV back on and everything working perfectly as before. Just saved myself 500 quid and the hassle of remounting a new one on the wall. Going to reward myself with a bottle of Jack Daniels later. 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived about seven months in Buntharik. I really enjoyed living there, but left to escape my then GF's greedy, thankless family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I know the feeling because that is what happened to me in Kamphaengpet.. I am extremely lucky to have bumped into M'Lady this time around!! EDIT = I'm wrong! Just checked the map .. more like 60km village to village ... Was Tesco Lotus in town when you were there ..??. When I moved to Surin Kap Choeng in '98 there was f**k-all!!

thegrogmonster Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yesterday I noticed that one of the young kids was covered in a rash and had small lumps everywhere. I asked the missus about it and she didn’t know but asked the mother and she said it had been like this for a few days. I said what are they doing about it and the reply was nothing as it is too expensive to see a doctor. I said tell them that we will take the kid to the doctors the next morning. Overnight another child had got the same thing. So for the last hour I have been sitting outside the doctors while the kids get checked out. Hopefully all is good and they come out soon. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, my mate here in Bkk has just developed a spotty rash around the stomach and the doctor said he probably been bitten by something! Maybe Something more sinister going around. Do they get chicken pox here in Thailand like we do in the UK? Edited April 7 by boydeste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the missus the doctor said they have picked up some sort of infection. 2000 baht and 1 large bag of pills and potions each hopefully they will now be on the mend. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
