Farming

How Does all this work then? I cant believe the whole of Thailand doesn't go bang when it rains.
The workers who repair these use bamboo ladders and what look like farming implements, i cant bare to watch half the time.

Puke

OK the story go's as follows - knee 'cattle trucked' (fu**ed) so rest for 4 months... fair enough.
Back in Thailand and a mountain bike race comes up...Hmm me thinks I'll go in for it and take it easy!
Race starts with a parade through the town centre preceded by the Army, Navy and a brass band. Then we are unleashed with 15km to go... well i go like the clappers having not cycled for 4 months due to knee. I'm in about 15th place out of about 70 when i start to feel sick. Result i have to pull up 500mts short of the finnish and puke. Jeeze what a reality check. 4 months out and I'm shite!
I drink about 3 litres and troll back home at about 20kmh. Round trip was about 40kms which is chuff all.
I hope the knee is OK tomorrow? I'll let you know.

Rich tossers

'Gumball3000' runs from Phuket to Bangkok today (4/5/06) so they may pass through Hua Hin! I will pop into town later and try and get some pics. That is if they slow down enough! I expect many of them will fall prey to the Thai police.

P.S - Buggers went via the bypass thus missing the centre of town. would have made an amazing spectacle....shame on you.

Pissed

Pissed as buffalo's!
Left to Right - Richard, Steve, Brian, Moi and Robbie.
another quite night in Hua Hin...sigh.

Big arse!

Having some big arse monsoon's at the moment due to storms coming in from China, Ning went out today to buy some rice and came back looking like a drowned rat! Still good for the garden.
Decided to give the old patella another weeks rest then I'm going to haul my fat old torso all over Hua Hin in a desperate attempt to shed some more kilo's.
Some people have asked me exactly where I am living? well if you look at the map on the left (you can click to enlarge) I am in Prachuapkhirikhan the thinnest part of Thailand which is on the right hand side below Bangkok.
I Have been listening to my new ipod a lot through the stereo, in fact the dulcet tones of Sir Elton John's 'Rocket Man' are emanating from the speakers even as I write this.
(sound of tremendous thunder clap occurs) If the rain keeps up I may be in for the evening....Hey ho.

Oberon

This is Oberon his earthly image was presented to me on a birthday card by my brother. His picture makes me smile.
He is not very demanding and causes few problems, however he does smell and requires several bathing sessions per day. I believe he has a flatulence issue but feel unable to broach the subject due to our tenuous relationship. Being a stout chap as indeed am I, he needs regular exercise in which i assist by throwing his image violently around the room several times a day. This seems to calm him down and hopefully in time he will become svelte like and not break wind when he walks! Ladies and gentlemen i give you Oberon a study in grey.
