    That’s nice mush,treating you like part of the family.
  4. First time I ever went fishing in Thailand was at the old bungsamran lake (blocks of flats now stand where it was)best large fish freshwater fishing lake I ever visited,catfish up to 400 Lb I think?Your arms were aching after a day on that lake,fantastic place.
  5. Nice beach Hua Hin,I like Bangkok,used to be a few hours flight from HK so it was convenient for a family holiday.Last time I was there I spent all day watching the big monitor lizards hunting along the canals.
  6. hua hin a few hours south of Bangkok?
  7. I thought Al was a fantastic character.
  8. Glad your kids stopped,ciggies are harder to quit than heroin apparently.
  9. I smoked one ciggie in my life,my mother forced me to checking if I was the one stealing her B&H (stupid logic),I was coughing and felt a bit dizzy,I was maybe 10 years old,my brother was the thief,had a few health issues due to smoking in later life.I have known loads of people saying they wish they could quit,but it’s an addiction,they need help.
  10. eighty fags a day is some going,the nickname for them is coffin nails,my parents were the same,chain smokers.
  11. My brother in law loves an all inclusive in Spain,it would bore me to tears,his idea of a perfect two weeks is lying beside a pool drinking for the entire holiday,one half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other……Jane Austen.
  12. Thailand is classed as Developing,Bangkok has changed massively in 30 years,there’s a reason 40 million tourists visit yearly and it isn’t for sex,the country is packed full of things to see and do,it was my kids favourite holiday destination when they were small,how many kids get to scrub an elephant in a river with a yard brush or zip-line above a forest canopy and swim with sharks.Beats Spain hands down but we all have different comfort zones.
  13. I was offered some adobo years ago in the PI,had some and thought it was beef till the blokes who fed me showed me the dog skin out the back of the shed. korea and china,Korean health tonic recipe normally starts with boiling a cat alive sadly.
  14. Never took from a school library tats,ours had nothing of interest in,but the public library was ripe to plunder for a school kid with nowt.
  15. Always like street food charts,Thai restaurant locally makes glutinous rice for Thai’s you just have to ask and they will make you a tray,I used to get those little fibre baskets of steamed rice on the streets.A friend sent me a video of them cooking dog a few months back,I draw the line at that nowadays.
  16. Watching this again,hunters who go missing in North American Parks.
  17. Sticky rice cooked in Banana leaf and peanut dip,just got a tray from the Thai takeaway.
