Jambo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I The above is a "junction box" for a mass of telephone lines and I remember it as a perpetual reminder to my stupidity. It is situated next to the traffic lights at the junction of Pattaya Tai and Second Road. Currently they are replacing the paving stones which is long overdue. Prior to installing the actual box they dug a great big hole to run in presumably all the cables.Then it rained, really hard for a couple of days! We all came out of one of Secrets party nights feeling no pain and ran across Second Road with the aim of Sai and I getting a baht bus to the condo in Jomtien. I recall Sai shouting the words "Dan, don't run..............." But before Sai added the word "there" I was trying to look over my shoulder and disappeared down the hole which was full of water mixed with sand and came up to above my waist. Everyone pissed themselves laughing but I was lucky there was only sand and water in the hole. They all had to help me out because my jeans were really heavy with the sand/water mix. I think of it as "Dan's Monument". 🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lake District is such a special place. Some great family holidays there when I was a kid with my brother, mum and dad. For 5 years straight we rented a wooden cottage in between Ambleside and Coniston. Such great times and we "did" Coniston and Coniston Old Man, then progressed onto Scafell Pike. At one point in the late 60's I was the highest person in England . . . That's a lovely pic and really captures the Lakes at it's best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to figure out where he gaffed her to get her on board,or did he net her. Regardless,even it is catch and release....I’d pay the fine to keep it.😁😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of beautiful women in Hawaii, though. With a boatload of money and decent looks an old guy might score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on the big Island about 30 miles south of his house. We are about 1800 feet in elevation which means that we don't need heat or a/c, and we have almost 2 acres that my T/W can grow all kinds of things that she is used to eating in Thailand. Our house is small - 2 bedrooms with huge lanai's (patios) where we spend most of our time, as the weather is usually perfect. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
