  1. It helps - but Christ it tastes like shit. Very Milk of Magnesia. Hair of the dog. That'll do the trick.
  2. Soi Zero - underneath the arches...
  3. I feel your pain. But as a member of the liberal elite I feel I have a duty to spell properly. We are victims who have been unfairly targeted by the media. But do we retreat? Hell no. We reload. We keep grammar in the crosshairs. Our fingers are on the trigger. Lock and load you betcha. If Sarah becomes president I believe spelling can only improve across this great nation. It's a miracle!!! Ah, chuckwoww! You are very naughty.
  4. Well, to be honest, he looks like a bit of a bruiser. The sort of chap you'd expect to be standing outside a club in the Reeperbahn or something. I know what you're getting at though! My other thoughts have been along the lines that he probably doesn't know that his ma-in-law might be helping herself to his stock to make a bit of pin money. But, you know the score here. "I know nothing." I was upstairs collecting fares, guv'nor. The maid is my firewall.
  5. My next door neighbour is a wine importer. German guy. Don't see him often. We are on nodding terms but it was his missus that dropped a catalogue off a few months ago together with a couple of bottles of very nice Chateau Can't Remember free, gratis and for nothing. So, anyway - I've ringed a few bottles in the list just before Christmas as I wanted to treat myself. All were in the 1200 - 1500 baht bracket. He does some good shit for that price. Then the maid (who gabs with the said guy's mother-in-law over the wall all day, most days) decided to 'help' and informed me that she'd put the order in and that it was only 1100 baht to hand over, which I dutifully did and crossed it off my 'to do' list. What could go wrong, eh? Well, I ended up with a fucking demi-john:5 litres - of Merlot. Maid was obviously thinking that this was a good deal! After all, stupid Carew was going to spend more than that on just one measly bottle. Falangs, eh? Ah, well - so I unscrewed the cap (!) on Boxing Day and to be honest the first few glasses were pretty drinkable considering. The day after of course, I was the proud owner of 4.5 litres of really good vinegar! Upside - my sauces and stuff have been boosted since, but I've been even using it in 'mop' marinades when I've been barbecuing! It's one of those 'culture clashes'. The lass thought she was doing good so I haven't the heart to get grumpy. This time.
  6. Don't quote me,. Chuck - but I'm watching Fox now! (Charles Krauthammer is my hero)
  7. Then the Buddhist handed over 10 dollars and waited and waited and waited until the hot-dog vendor said, "Change comes from within..."
  8. Sorry - colloquialism. It means putting a couple of 100 baht each in a beer glass and getting pissed ( ah shit..that's drunk - not angry). Nothing to do with The Cave (bye bye) or any BDSM activity. Well, I say no BDSM but then again...
  9. Jimmie, perhaps if we talk nicely to Top Cat...? It would be a fitting venue, we can have a whip-round and some recitals of MaoMark's works. I have most of them saved on CD.
  10. Jimmie - I refuse to believe this, but if it is indeed true then the London Contingent shall surely mark this sad event in our own inimitable way. I still have money for the beer ( I am not so sure if my penis still works though..)
