Could be a fun thread  :)

I'll start with a boring one. Sat in the car park at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham waiting to go in and see a couple of customers having just scoffed a McDonalds breakfast.

On an iPad or iPhone do I need to go through the photo bucket process or is there a shortcut?

Yeah photobucket, the pics ipad/phones take are too big to upload direct, unless someone knows a way of making your phone take pics with smaller file sizes?

It was six shillings originally, or 30p.  Presumably there are problems opening some of the pages, hence the 50% reduction in price?

Am planning on taking the kids up to Scotland in a motorhome next year and May half term seemed a good option.  Obviously don't want the weather to be too miserable, but definitely don't need it scorchio.

Not the best to be honest mate. There is just constant weather fronts passing through and it can change several times in an hour even. The wind is relentless so its never warm when the sun is out even. That said there are breaks in the bad weather so you just need to make the most of it when it comes. The beauty of the motorhome is that you just get to the next sight and if the weather is shite you stick the kettle on or have an early lunch or whatever and the weather will often have turned again by the time you are done.

In skye at the moment and can deffo recommend it here, also the drive from fort william up to skye is pretty immense too, went to Arran too which is nice enough but the scenery up here is far nicer.

I am enjoying the pictures and thanks for the weather advice.  The problem is if we go in the summer hols, we are going to be midge fodder, and that feels worse to me, particularly as the youngest gets grouchy when she sees a fly.  Weather seems a bit better today?  Maybe we can just hope for a nice spell in May?

Anyway, I was going to say I have spent way too long on google maps with the little yellow man.  Problem is now, the scenery isn't going to be so surprising.  Arran was never on the agenda, but Glencoe and Skye definitely were.  We did Loch Lomond last year, so don't need to go back round there.  I have also done the area around Peth and Aberfeldy and been to Edinbrough a few times. 

I am quite tempted to head up towards Sutherland, as it has always appealed, but maybe there isn't much to see here, but guess we have to go back through the Cairngorms.   Maybe it is all too much.

I have also got the West Highland Way in my sights.  Can't see me taking the kids on that one though, and the missus isn't ever doing that.  Guess that isn't such a bad thing.

In the big smoke for a couple of days. Was sweating my nads off trying to find a pub with a view and somewhere to sit, gave up and decided to get a couple of beers in and just admire the view from parliament square. No idea how many times I've been to London but I never get bored of the views around westminster.

Europa League: Sparta Prague v APOEL from Cyprus.

Sparta have had the best of it and lead 1-0 at half time with a nicely worked goal.

A friend teaches the daughter of Sparta's keeper so he gave us some tickets.

Wouldn't describe the atmosphere as quite Spartan, but it is pretty decent and the football is a better standard than I'd imagined.

If you pop back to the Nugget at all, there is a guy called Kelly that works at the bar outside the poker room.

If he's there, say Mark said hello, and I'll be back next June ;D

Yes I have Geo. I've read reams of stuff on the Holocaust, mostly first-hand accounts written by survivors. Mrs Red thinks I'm goulish, but believe it or not, some of it is incredibly uplifting and empowering in a "If they can cope with that, I can cope with this" kind of way.

Venice is too good a place to have it ruined by a shit hotel. If ur staying long enough for it to be worthwhile, it's worth checking rates on some of the nicer places - some can do very good offers, and most are a short walk.

The Rialto saved the day for me & Mrs Suited

Not ruined, but some polite helpful staff would have gone a long way to making our stay more comfortable for very little effort on their behalf. Instead they are going to get a shit review on tripadvisor....

currently on an oilrig that has succesfully drilled into and opened up a section of an oil reservoir and is currently carrying out a "flow test"

this means they have to test the output of the well. In order to do this, they see how much oil is coming out over a period of time, typically 24 hours or so, to see if the pressure remains constant through the time period.

that means a lot of oil/gas needs to be gotten rid of, and the usual way to do this, is to light it up (flare it off)

we are currently flowing at a rate of 12,500 barrels of oil per 24 hours

meaning that at $50 a barrel, we have burnt off over $600,000 worth of oil, in order to prove that the well is going to be profitable over the term of it's life.

i would have agreed with you before i became a slave to the wages mr titbean.

however, when you put it into perspective, we flared off for just under the 24 hours, approx half a million dollars of oil (at current value) was burnt to prove the well was sustainable

the rig i am sitting on is going into what we call a "hot stack" soon, whereby it will sit in the firth outside the village of Invergorden, untill it is next hired again

and the approximate cost of that hire, including all staff, equipment (including the ROV system i operate, is a mere £500,000 a day, thats right, about half a milly a day, to rent the services of a single rig

this industry is an expensive industry, so burning off a bit of oil is literally a drop in the (oil) ocean

its cheaper to burn it off, than to rig up a system for storing that small amount of oil

So, i, or we, my fellow offshore chaps and chappesses, have now moved to a new location, to decommission an old well that is no longer in use.

and to get there, we have a little assistance from a couple of boatymcboatfaces

Currently we are on the Tartan oilfield

http://subseaiq.com/data/Project.aspx?project_id=1146&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

and we are plugging up an old well that is no longer efficient

i think in this case, we are going deep into the well, and pulling out a lot of the steel tubing (casing) that the oil runs up from the reservoir.

the idea is, that when we leave, there will be a small hole left in the seabed that will quickly be filled by the sediment so no one can tell we were there

strangely, the casing that is left might be one of the few things that the next sentient race to inhabit this earth will find of our existence, proof of previous life and all that

Was going to answer, then read your post and the sign too.  Love the "accurate astrology" bit too.  As opposed to the hocus pocus we are used to over here.

You seem to have ducked a lot of the smog that was there last year when I went.  You could just see the tops of the buildings from that viewpoint on the peak back then.  Guessing there is still a bit of smog about from the picture.  Hope you star ferried for the nighttime view.  Best 20p tourist attraction in the World that.  Much better value than that ferris wheel.

I am not sure I recognise the lobsters/langustines(?), so definite improvement on the duck/chicken.

Yeah there was a bit of smog, is a bit worse than the pics show. Apparently it's a winter problem so I was told when the winds change direction and the air gets blown down from mainland china where it's a lot worse.

Went on the ferry but not at night, took 2 nighttime views of the harbour, up in the bar at the peninsula paying £20 for a glass of wine only to be greeted by blinds obscuring the view, seriously wtf? And skinted it out with the plebs on harbour side after a quick visit to 7/11 to stock up on ale  ;D

Anyway at least the cable car trip was nice even if we only got 45 mins at the top  ;frustrated;

Saw some dude taking a selfie with a cow up there too wtf? He actually spent 10 mins and about 30-40 goes making sure he got the right shot too!  rotflmfao

When I went to Lantau everybody lined up behind a metal gate, then a bell rang, and the traps sprang open before a mad sprint to the boat, just like a human greyhound race. I'm embarrassed to say I got pushed to the ground by a bent over old woman in her 70's. However I did pick myself up and my superior speed and athleticism beat the old bird round the final bend to one of the last seats.

Damn I wish I had opened up this thread a couple of days ago Woodsey . I was in Hong Kong yesterday doing some last minute Xmas shopping. We could have met up for a few beers.

Some great photos there by the way

Ahhh no worries next time mate, we had a pretty tight schedule but I would have found time to catch up  :)

haha Andrew, I believe it was some documentary on BT Sport 2 about a former German Athlete.

Nah Arb, I used to work at Skybet but then I quit to be a poker pro which was okay for 5 years then I realised the game was leaving me behind at the age of 27. I work for a software company who develop betting and gaming platforms, based near Leeds. The company genuinely has no name.

How you they file their company accounts with no name?  Interesting!

True, how many of us have had a $101 beer in Vegas?  :D

Yes, the historical stuff is all the more moving because you meet even youngish (40 odd yo's) who have lost entire families, and how they were killed because they didn't want to waste bullets...  ;tracet;

Funny story from last night. Met some youngish lad whilst out having a few beers, he's out here for a few months and trying to stretch his money as far as he can, so he's rented a cheap apartment, an old one that still has a squat toilet.

He told me he was unable to do the squat thing so he just sits on it  rotflmfao

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, just remembered now when I woke up and laughed for another 10 mins  rotflmfao rotflmfao

Nice enjoy the rest of your trip, I'm on my way home now. Stuck in turkey at the moment as Istanbul airport was snowed in this morning and most planes were diverted elsewhere in the country for a likely overnight stay. A quick google tells me we are pretty close to the Syrian border and Aleppo is not far over the border  ;surrender;

At least my head and neck are still intact, did briefly cross my mind that a random foreigner would be a good target for a stray ISIS person that could be floating around in the area.....still went out for a wander around mind you, which is more than 90% of the group did when they realised they were a 20 drive mins from Syria  ;)

It is fantastic Tom. Wish I had travelled here years ago. Mind you probably too expensive with 3 kids.

Thought of you and your Dad often over here when I see men repairing their bikes and tuk tuks by the road side to get them back on the road to make a living.

The Khmer Rouge stuff is chilling. I have  had Auschwitz on my bucket list for some time now and know it will be a difficult visit but like the Killing Fields it has to be done.

basically its something that can eat thru concrete.

I enjoy a lot of the flat ciders mate, especially in the summer, the sun being out prompted me today. Also I simply can't drink pint after pink these days so a smaller number of stronger drinks fits the bill for me  :)

Snake bite = lager and cider
Purple nasy = snake bite + blackcurrant

Yeah, strongly suspect it is just volume that does it. 

Beer after wine you'll feel fine, wine after beer you'll feel queer?

Dear All, 


We look forward to the meeting today at 2.30pm. I am sorry for the late notice but the meeting location today has changed from Cabinet Office to No.10 Downing Street. Please bring photo ID and present it at the gate to Downing Street and they will let you through. 


Best,


Nathalie

For reasons I am not at liberty to divulge, as they say in all the best cloak and dagger movies, I was asked to go to a meeting at the cabinet office on Friday. I've been to these do's before and they are very informal affairs, People rock up in anoraks, hoodies, jogging bottoms etc and no one bats an eyelid.

With this in mind I checked the weather forecast and found that they had given out sunshine. (that seems a strange phrase when you write it down, "They have given out sunshine" my gran used to say when I was little, or "They've given out wind and rain for tomorrow". It made me think there was a committee somewhere deciding what weather we would get the next day).

Anyway, I had to go to London, the weather was going to be good and I could wear casual clothing. What a great excuse to take Betty, my motor scooter, Bam a lam.

The meeting was scheduled for 14:30 so I had time to walk the dogs and have a leisurely breakfast before setting out at 10:30.

London is a fantastic destination for motorcyclists. There is no congestion charge, parking is free virtually anywhere, (I parked right in the middle of Whitehall) and you can use the bus lanes to help you filter through the traffic. You have to keep your wits about you, but weaving through all that hustle and bustle on a bright sunny day is so exciting.

By 13:00 I had arrived at my destination, so I stripped off my helmet and leather jacket and found a nice (and surprisingly cheap) pavement cafe where I spent the best part of the next hour watching the tourists take photographs. I could hear their excited babble as they passed my table, they were thrilled to be here and their enthusiasm rubbed off on me. I was thrilled to be here too.

Almost time for my meeting. I was secretly hoping it would be in Cabinet Office Briefing Room A, which would have made it a Cobra meeting. (Really. A Cobra meeting is just a meeting at the Cabinet Office in briefing room A).

I checked my invitation email again to see if I'd missed anything and was surprised to find another email, sent at 12 noon saying that the meeting had been moved to number 10 Downing Street an to make sure I brought photo ID.

Well I had no ID what so ever and there was no point sending me an email telling me to bring some while I was on a motorbike hurtling down the A5.

There was nothing I could do except present myself to the armed policemen on duty at plebgate and state my case. One of them listened to my story while the other fielded questions from the the tourists.
"Is the Queen in?"
"Ave you ever shot anyone wiv that gun?"

Technology is wonderful these days, even if it is a bit scary. They sent me into a little wooden security hut and scanned my face and fingerprints. Apparently, that was all they needed to confirm that I was me. Then I went through an airport stylee metal detector and I was free to wander off down Downing Street.

I presented myself at number 10 and the door opend before I had a chance to knock on it. I was told to leave my phone in one of a row of numbered pigeon holes and then I joined half a dozen other people who were slowly climing a wide staircase that was lined with dozens of black and white photographs of Prime ministers past.

So that's how I ended up in number 10 in my work boots.

He might be the most powerful man in the world, but I bet Donald Trump will never be able to say that.

So managed to wear the missus out from all the walking the last few days, got a pass for a night.......ok let's do some poker. Luckily there seems to be a place pretty close at can walk to, I see they have a €150 tourney and a ton of cash tables running....perfect. It's this place

http://pokerccm.com

I get there and am told it's €50 to go in (yearly membership fee)  :o Am just there for a night out and some drinks/banter rather than any other reason so decide to suck it up and go for it after a brief wtf moment.

About to join and hand the money over but luckily I ask about the action and the lady at the desk said the tourney is full and it's a 2 hour wait for cash games  :o thank fk I asked, I bet DTD wish they had this problem!

Fk it, gonna go and get ratarsed tonight and will go and watch the rugby 7's tomorrow  :cheers:

We're about 1/3 of the way through our trip. Next it's Venice  Marseille, Mompellier, Barcelona, Andora then through the Pyrenees to San Sebastian.

We're staying in some fantastic digs, air B&Bs that look like stately homes for ~ £60 per night for the entire place including a well stocked larder.

I've heard you can get very reasonable food and drink in Venice if you go to one of the cafes around St Mark's Square.

My butcher's lad just got back from his honeymoon and said he got change(just) from €20 for one espresso, a gondola ride for €80, and pasta meal for two costing a mere €150.

You do get around a bit for an old fella.

It's true about the prices Ralph. I needed a slash so I went into one of the cafes on the square with the intention of ordering a soft drink and using the loo. The cheapest drink was a 330ml Fanta costing €10. As always though, there are alternatives. Less than 5 minutes walk away I found a delightful little back street place that did coffee and a crusty ham roll for a €4.99. Needless to say I made my contribution to the Venitian economy and rising water levels there.

I spent some time watching the gondolas. What beautifully made craft they are, they must cost a fortune. It's fascinating to see how deftly the gondoliers maneuver them using only the one oar which pivots around a wooden joist, swindletree fashion, acting as both a scull and a rudder.

We were in Turin yesterday and and we arrived in Marseille today. Each new visa seems to be trying to outdo the last.

As I was riding he lyrics to a song by Charles Asnavour were running through my head, "Yesterday when I was young, and life was sweet like rain upon my tongue..." and I thought, when I was young life seemed to stretch out in front of me forever, I thought I had an unlimited supply, those lyrics didn't apply to me, it's now that I'm old and can see the end approaching that life is really sweet, and not just on days like today when I'm on holiday, but every day, even the mundane and crappy ones.

One of my neices lives in Nanaimo. We did that drive. We also stopped at a quite remarkable ice cream parlour. Never seen anything like it before or since in terms of choice or scale of portions. Not the location you'd expect for it, either.

Anyhow... The scenery there is incred. Will always remember visiting a friend up in Port Hardy; went fishing & were surrounded by a number of young whales that took an interest. I asked my buddy if we were safe, he said "yeah, we're fine" as he reached under his seat for a life vest.

Ahh, just noticed the scale of the photo is misleading - bottom right quarter of the photo, 3 railing uprights from the right hand side, I can see 3 folks looking through an aperture in the wall. That completely changes the scale of what I thought I was seeing.

There's also a chap immediately under Tom's left thumb.

Gibralter then.

I did do the tour Tom. Just a building until you put the commentary on then it comes to life. Drove from SF to Vegas through Yosemeti, to say that was spectacular would be an understatement. Helicoptered the GC just wow. Then flew back to SF. Flying home soon.

We did a very similar trip to the Kev. We flew into Vegas and had a week then flew to San Francisco. Then we hired a a car and drove back to LC along the coast road taking in Yosemite on the way.

I love driving holidays in the US, especially the out of the way places. Small town America is fascinating and the people are so friendly. Complete strangers say "Yall come visit with us a while, have some vittles, sleep over..."

We didn't of course, we don't want to be murdered in our beds.

I use Flkr Wlodsey. You can post direct by copying the link and pasting it in to the box to post. This method is from a laptop only. More complicated from a smart phone, I can post how if you want.

Typical, am in Hua Hin now and will possibly pass through Bkk for a day before you get here  ::)

Would recommend a day trip to Khao Sok national park if you have time whilst your in the vicinity down in Khao Lak, it’s very pretty.

Ooh, good spot, they have those "window dimmer" things instead.

I initially assumed Dreamliner as the windows looked so big in Grant's photo, & Dreamliner has the biggest windows of any Civil Passenger Aircraft.

It was a 757-200 tikay, was supposed to be a 737 Max 8...

Spent a long weekend in Iceland, somewhere the missus has always wanted to go. I have no idea how the locals afford to live there unless they're all on mega wages. A few 'highlights':

regular 2 course meal for 2, no alcohol: £170
two beers each in a bar with some cashews: £52
entrance to a small museum: £38 each
Bottle of wine in a restaurant: £50 min
Cafe coffee: £7
Cafe slice of cake: £11
G & T: £20

And my favourite, we went into a supermarket to grab some things for lunch and breakfast (it was £28 each in the hotel):
2 sandwiches, 2 500ml bottles of water, 2 large yoghurts, small packet of cakes: £42.

Yes it's clean, it's my #1 priority when eating out.

I'm not bothered about surface clean, cafés where working men eat can get a bit untidy on the punter's side of the counter, but I can't be doing with any dirty rags, greasy corners, or nose picking, bollock-scratching blokes on the other side.

This place has a well used hand-wash basin and an open plan, see into kitchen.

What hair?

Had a touch then. Broker I work with is down at Osmington camping for a couple weeks, and i was absolutely pissing down the night they got here. He was trying to set all their tents/shelters up, and they were getting blown away... He's an ex para, so no bother to him, but don't think his mrs went too much on it :D

Polish red beet Borscht

Ingredients
6 cups water
1-1/2 Vegetable Boulin cube
2-4 Beets (peeled and cut into cubes OR *shredded -can get messy :O)
3 -4 Carrots (or 2 handfuls of baby carrots)
2-3 pieces of Celery
Salt & Pepper (as needed for taste)
1 Bay Leaf
2-3 Potatoes (cut into cubes)
Handful of kale (optional)
2-4 Eggs
1/2 medium Onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp. butter
1-2 Tsp. Sour Cream
Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Put everything (down to the potatoes) in a large pot and let boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer (covered).
In a separate pot, boil some eggs.
While everything is simmering, saute onion in butter with some salt. Add the potatoes from the soup (you can also boil them separately, but I don't like dirtying another pot if I don't need to) and mash them up with the onions and butter.
Set Aside.
I usually wait until the carrots, potatoes and beets are soft....about 25-30 mins,and then shut off the soup. Add Kale or some spinach if you are using it). Take out a Tbsp of soup and whisk in the sour cream until fully uniform. Transfer the combo into the soup until well blended. Sometimes, I don't even add the sour cream- it's more of personal preference... but it makes a pretty pink color!
Cut up the boiled egg , scoop a spoon of the mashed potatoes and sprinkle some parsley into the bowl! Enjoy 🙂

Hmmmmmmm where do I start

I had my own lorries, Volvo eight wheelers, buy new take the warranty period then exchange again, repeat, repeat

Being as there is just me and wife trading and running everything we decided to sell the lorries and use just the contractors we were already using to haul our commodities, we were getting too busy and didn't need the hassle of employing drivers, maintenance etc

This week alone we will be moving a minimum of 2500 tonnes of physical product, Oilseed rape, Barley and wheat

I have a couple of wagons I run all the time and one of them is driven by a Polish lad and I must say he is an absolute pleasure to work with, very hard working and trustworthy

When I was about 13 we were stopping at Darnall in Sheffield and my red and white filly Lulu was turned out to pasture on a farm in Spinkhill about 9 or 10 miles away. One Sunday I got up early and went to see her on my bike.

I spent the morning trimming her hooves, washing and combing her mane and tail etc, and then I rode her around the village.

At about lunchtime I was about to set off home when the farmer called me over and asked me if I wanted to come inside for a bit o dinner. Of course I accepted and went to join the other members of the farmers family at a large wooden table in the farmhouse kitchen.

Everyone got a big roast dinner and a thick slice of bread. We all tucked in, the bread was ignored by the others but I'm a bread lover and I finished my slice in short order.

Towards the end of the meal everyone picked up their bread and carefully mopped up every last drop of gravy, leaving the plate absolutely clean. At that point, the farmers wife brought out a vast bowl of rice pudding and proceeded to ladle a dollop onto the now clean plates.

My plate still had a liberal coating of gravy but my rice went on there just the same. No one batted an eyelid, and I must admit, the rice pudding was pretty scrumptious despite the meaty aftertaste.

if you’re still in town and want to check out something a bit ‘more Czech’ then head to the market at Mirák (Náměstí Míru). It’s well served by public transport and is on the Green metro line.

Particularly if you’re in town on Sunday you should consider heading to Střecha Lucerny which is the rooftop of the Lucerna arcade just off Wenceslas Square.

It’s not open very often to the general public and for my money has some of the best views in the city.

This year Tom I think Khao Sok canoe trip and Doi Inthanon trip. Nature and culture. However I still drink too much so Gin and the local hooch Sangsom were a pleasure. This is our 6th year running the last four were 4 week stints. We go home in 2 days but I could do another month.

I'm quite excited to hear Bangkok airways are doing flight this year to Sihanoukville in Cambodia. Kho rong is an Islad just off there that is on my list.

Just ate my first non Thai evening meal for a change, I love the food.

Tell you what I did a couple of years ago that was good, was a slow road trip to the south by car. Stopped at Amphawa, Hua Hin, Prachup KiriKhan including a few random empty beaches with guesthouses that you simply would not find without a car, very chilled and nice. Then Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Krabi. There were a few other places that would have been good like Phang Na etc that I didn’t have time to stop at.

Feels like a few too many spoliers in that video and text.  Watched the film twice so knowing the ending doesn't really spoil it.  Probably best not to watch the YouTube clip though?  Anyway, brilliant film, proper had me on edge even second time round.

A little envious of your trip to the Spanish riding school Kev, the Lipizzaner horses are a fabulous breed.

As a youngster I used to love The White Horses on tv. Apparently it was a cult series and the theme tune was voted the greatest in television history in 2003.

Is that the bridge over the river Kwai?

Yes, on the Death railway. So called because countless British and Australian POWs died when they were forced to build it through virgin jungle using only hand tools.

Imagine, a railway line has to be more or less level so when they came to a hill they had to cut through it, and when they came to a ravine or a river they had to go over it. All the while fighting against disease and starvation.


Each man had to chisel out and carry away this much rock for this much rice.

They worked day and night. One particular section went through about 4km of solid rock and was lit by flaming torches. The POWs said it was like walking into Hell and they christened it Hellfire Pass.



Look closely at the pics and you can see the chisel marks and even the end of a broken chisel in rhe rock.

The original bridge over the river Kwai was made of wood, which then allowed the Japanese to run trains carrying heavier materials and equipment and so a new iron bridge was built alongside the wooden one.

Here's an interesting fact. When David Lean's film Bridge Over The River Kwai was released in 1957, lots of tourists came to see it. This caused some embarrassment because the bridge actually spanned the Mae Klong river. The the film makers had got it wrong.

The Thais solved the problem by re-naming the river, so now the bridge crosses the Kwai.

From a distance the jungle looks pretty benign but as soon as you look closely it's teeming with plants that want to tear your flesh and creatures that want to bite or sting you.

This is a still from a video I took of a pencil sized centipede being dragged away by a column of ants.

Apart from being starved and working to death, the POWs suffered terribly from malaria, dysentery, beriberi, cholera etc, but tropical ulcers must have been an indescribable torture.

These babies could eat an arm or a leg down to the bone in a couple of days and were often fatal.

The first pic I posted is of a proper Bangkok Market. We had visited a couple of touristy ones that day but had to go to a non tourist location to find a big pharmacy that was located next to a hospital.

It turner into a nice adventure because although the pharmacy was only a couple of km away from our hotel it was on the other side of the river, quite a trek by road and tuk tuk drivers, like London cabbies, don't want to take you "Sarf of the river". This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it forced us to discover the river ferry system, its cheap, fast and very exciting. We used it a lot after that.

Not my first visit Kev, but I was only a boy the lat time I went over 30 years ago.

I agree that Bangkok is not everyone's cup of tea but the people have a wonderful gentle manner and a smiley, non confrontational outlook. If you take the time to realise that they are mostly very poor and that we seem incredibly rich it helps a lot.

I like the hustle and bustle and the endless haggling and as long as you keep a smile on your face no one takes any offence no matter how small your offer is vs their asking price.

Pretending to faint or have a stroke is a great opening gambit.

All my life I've been a fearless adventurer and explorer. Dealing with difficult or dangerous situations in thrilling, exotic locations is what I do.... IN MY IMAGINATION.

In reality, I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat who worries about everything. "Have I left the gas on? What if we miss the flight? What if customs find a gun in my luggage? What if the hotel has lost my reservation? What if my pillow is too squishy?

So many possible pitfalls.

There is an upside. Some things that are mundane to normal people seem a bit frightening and dangerous to me, and therefore, more adventurous and exciting.

We first planned this trip in 2019. Well I say planned, it was actually just a bunch of exciting South East Asia words, places and phrases that milled around in my head.

Burma.
Viet Cong.
Tenko.
Sticky rice.
Haggling.
Death railway.
Flea Market.
Cambodia.
Jungle.
Birds.
Xe om.
Cu Chi tunnels.
Mekong Delta.
Street food.
Hellfire Pass...

Obviously a bunch of words don't make a workable itinerary and I just wasn't tech savvy enough to plan a SE Asia trip and even if I could, one missed flight or link in a long chain of booked and time-sensitive events could ruin everything.

So we settled on a two week package, fly to Siem Reap in Cambodia, see the temples at Angkor Wat, sail down the Mekong Delta for a few days to Ho Ch Min city, spend a day, fly to Bangkok, spend a couple more days, fly home.

Sounds great, we booked it for March 2020.

Covid hit.

Lockdown was announced about a week after we had booked and paid for everything, fortunately we took out good insurance at the same time so we did eventually get our money back, even so it took several months and we had to jump through dozens of hoops to satisfy them.

Around the beginning of 2023 we started thinking about doing the trip again.

Now we have done a couple of 'Biggie' multi-destination holidays before, one in 1997 to Egypt and another in 2013 to India. Both were amazing but it was a bit of a bummer when the tour operator moved us away from the places we liked and made us linger in the places we didn't enjoy so much. Also, all the tours stopped at places where you were invited to buy souvenirs and handicrafts.

Still I was afraid of booking everything myself, arranging my own flights, hotels, transfers etc just seemed like a logistical nightmare.

"If only I could just book as we went along" I thought. "Then we could come and go as we pleased".

It sounds daft to say it now, but of course we could book as we went along. I began experimenting, first with the flight finding websites, then hotels then transport.

I know (Now) that some apps do it all but I found Skyscanner best for flights, Booking.com for hotels and Grab, the Asian version of Uber, and public transport guided by Google navigation for getting around.

I will never be able to take for granted the versatility, capability and convenience of a mobile phone.

You can sit in your hotel room and book your next flight and hotel, and receive your confirmation, ticket and boarding pass. You can research what you want to see and do next, you can translate conversation in real time, and you can send photos and video home within seconds of taking them.

I booked out flight Birmingham to Bangkok on the 18th of September, about 13 hours total with a brief stop in Munich.

Our hotel requirements were a private room with one double bed and en suite bathroom. Not more than 1km from the city center. This narrowed our options down to about a million with prices ranging from £12 to £200 so I added a couple of extra filters. Breakfast included, a window and max £40 per night. Still faced with a lot of choice I turned to the reviews and chose one with good marks for location, cleanliness, breakfast quality and friendly staff at £25 per night.

I only booked the one night in case it was a dive but it turned out to be excellent, especially the breakfast.

I had bacon, sausage, eggs, toast and tea, Mrs Red, a more adventurous eater than me, went for pork skewers with sticky rice.

I immediately booked 2 more nights.

I try to just say somthing about what we're doing or where we've been but when I look back on what I've written it's just a load of unnecessary whittering. Even I'm bored.

I remind myself of Mrs Red.
I'll ask, "Did you post that letter?"

"Yes, I saw that Mrs Wilson. She had a long cardigan on, orange it was, well perhaps not true orange, more of a terracotta. Hand knitted it was, either that or crochet.
She had her son with her, not the big one, the little one who hurt his knee in the allotment. What's his name again? It's gone completely out of my head, is it Trevor or Terence... something beginning with T.
HARVEY! that's it. I'm sure he has impetigo. I had impetigo when I was about 13, had a big scab on my lip I did, then I went to the swimming baths and it disappeared..."

God love her, I wouldn't change her for the world.


If I update again I'll try to waffle less.

I have exactly the same problem. I currently have typed up drafts from the last 2 months of what I wanted to put in my Diary, pages & pages of them, typed up as I went along. And now, when I read the drafts back to myself, it just seems so much waffle. Waffle that is interesting & matters to ME, but unlikely to interest anyone else.

It's weird that you mention impetigo. When I was a child, impetigo was very common, almost rampant, but I don't think I've heard or read a single mention of it for over half a century.

I know I said no waffling but I just want to tell you this bit, I'll keep it short.


The flight to Bangkok was a nightmare for me, sat as I was in the cheap seats.

"I just can't sit still for 10 hours plus" I wailed.

"You seem to manage alright at the poker"  Mrs Red observed pointedly.

Anyone who has seen me playing poker knows that what I do in my chair can't be called sitting.
Lounging, kneeling, straddling, standing behind it, standing in front of it, and mostly, long before 10 hours have passed, vacating it.

To make matters worse loads of people were reclining their seats but I couldn't find a way to recline mine.

"Ask the stewardess" Mrs Red advised.

As if I would. Here's me, practically an aeronautical engineer, unable to recline my seat and there were all the other  plebs with probability no qualifications at all reclining all over the place.

Staring straight forward so as not to give the game away I nonchalantly felt every part of the arm rests. Nothing.

All the rest of the seat. Nothing.

I leaned forward and felt under the front edge of the seat.

It's surprising how easy those life-vests are to pull out and how difficult they are to put back, especially when Mrs Red is hissing at you and digging her finger nails into the back of your ear.

She flagged down a passing stewardess. "Excuse me, could you show my husband how to recline his seat please?"

"Oh this row of seats back on to the emergency exit, they don't recline".

The bloke in the seat in front of me sniggered and reclined his seat until it was about 4 inches from my face, meanwhile I was forced to sit bolt upright amongst all the loungers. I felt like a bloody meerkat.

4 or 5 hours later I noticed something on my fingernail. It may have been a bogey, who can say?

The bloke in the seat in front of me had fallen asleep and the back of his head was lolling in to view between the seats every  now and then.

To my absolute shame I flicked the unidentified substance at the head as it came into view. Unfortunately I misjudged it's adhesive qualities and it clung to my nail for a fraction of second too long and left on an unintended trajectory, missing it's intended target and sticking to the wrist of a dapper chap in the seat directly opposite.

I held my breath but he obviously didn't feel a thing. Eventually though, he did notice it and assuming it was his, proceeded to roll it between his thumb and forefinger for the next half an hour until it became too dry to stick and fell to the floor.

Sorry. Proper update next time I promise.

Bangkok. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It's Marmite City. You will love it, or you will hate it.

As soon as you step out into the street, you are hit by the heat, the fumes, the smell, the squalour, the traffic, the harrasment...

Your first thought will be, "This was a huge mistake".

Just strolling around is an art form, the pavement is used for everything except walking on. There is a stall selling unrecognisable and often indescribable food every two yards, and the bits in-between are a minefield of chairs, bowls, carts, motorcycles, dogs, fires, infants and people, endless numbers of people all asking,
"Where are you going?"
"What are you lookin for?"

They will wait patiently while someone asks you if want to ride in a tuk tuk, listen to you saying no thanks, and then ask if you want to ride in a tuk tuk.

That's the Bangkok that the haters hate, and who can blame them?

Ah Trevor....

The Thais are without doubt the most smiley, friendly, helpful, happy people you could ever meet.

Yes they try to get you to spend your money but they are never pushy and they never take offence when you say no. They are entirely non-confrontational.

Strangers look you in the eye and bob their head as if to acknowledge that you are another human being and as such, deserve respect.

It rubs off on me. It makes me smile and nod my head in respect too.


The only angry word I heard the whole time I was there was in a McDonald's.
I was behind two other customers waiting at a till when a waitress opened the next till, a bloke who had just come through the door sprinted across the floor and stood in front it.

"Excuse me" I said, assuming that he spoke English because he was white and well dressed, but pointing at the people in front of me in case he didn't. "There's a queue here mate".

He immediately got right in my face.

"What's your problem buddy?" (American) "The fucking till just opened up and I got here first. ALRIGHT?"

"No problem" I said, "It's not a big deal".

I turned away but he wouldn't let it go. "Well if it's not a big deal why not keep your mouth shut?"

I ignored him but he kept ranting and the Thai staff and customers were absolutely cringing with embarrassment, it was as if it was their fault. They looked like they might burst into tears.

What seems like chaos and squalour is actually just the infrastructure that allows a vast number of poor people to support themselves. Everywhere you look people are using ingenious devices, or should I say using everyday devices in ingenious ways to make a living.

Everyone works.
Some, most, doing menial, repetitive tasks. They may not have much but I'll tell you what they do have, dignity.

Not far from one of the hotels we stayed at was a tiny old man who sat beneath a roadside tree selling vegetables from a small selection on a table. Both the tree and the man were blackened and wisened with age. We would pass him in the morning on our way out, perhaps on a day trip or some such, and we would pass him again on our way back ten or twelve hours later. He would look me in the eye and nod his head with a smile just as warm and genuine as he had that morning, and it absolutely made my day to return his smile and nod back.

On the flip side, there is a burgeoning middle class in Thailand, people with good jobs and good educations, but the ethos doesn't change, they still have the same happy, friendly polite disposition.
It's particularly noticeable among the youngsters, perhaps that's because we don't expect young people to be bright and friendly.

I have to say the young women are a bit disturbing. (I'm not talking sex workers here, just everyday girls)
They are all my type, dark and pettite, and they all dress like they just stepped out of a fantasy.

BKK definitely marmite. I love it. The chaos and the madness. I have stayed in parts of the City that have been disappointing but in general have enjoyed my stays there. Tours do it for me and always with a guide or you miss so much. The Grand Palace is awesome full of mind blowing architecture and history. China town at night is a vibrant spectacle and full of great restaurants and street food.

Thais are just the loveliest people. Their Buddhism upbringing has a lot to do with their outlook and non confrontational behaviour. The same all over the country.

Chiang Mai further north is a favourite of mine. The second biggest City but being further north it is cooler than BKK and more laid back. More temples than you could ever imagine.

Keep posting Tom I love trip reports of this country and it's people. BTW WTf are you doing in a McDonalds  ;D ;D ;D

Couldn't agree with you more about the Grand Palace.

It's become almost a cliche destination now, "Suggested visit time, one to two hours".

We spent an entire day there and were blown away by the sheer size and splendour of it all.

It's difficult to believe it was all done by hand. It's like looking at a piece of Faberge jewellery that's the size of a village.

The first time I heard it used was in reference to a stand up comedian. My friend said "He's a bit  Marmite".
I didn't understand so I asked for an explanation.

Did you nick the goat to nearly get you arrested? 🤣

So you would have travelled to Tangier I guess. I was there 37 years ago and realised I'd made a mistake when our bus taking us to the hotel got stuck behind sheep being sheperded down the main street. There wasn't much to do as it was NY so we flew to Gibraltar for the day. Didn't nearly get arrested though.😁

Are you still in Thailand Tom?

After a few days in Bangkok we took a train to Kanchanaburi, specifically to see the death railway and the bridge over the river Kwai. If anyone is interested in that sort of WWII and POW stuff there is loads of info on the web so I won't start to document it here, otherwise I'll get all bogged down and blathery again.

It turned into one of the best trips of the whole holiday. Here, briefly, is what I loved about it.   


The slow, slow train ride there. Wooden bench seats and big open sash window, vendors walking up and down selling food and drinks. 


(https://s20.directupload.net/images/231001/isdufs73.jpg) (https://www.directupload.net)


Kanchanaburi itself. It was like an ordinary Thai village but it was cashing in on the fact that people came and stayed there to see the bridge, the war cemetery and the museum so that made it a little more touristy and accessible, i.e, more English spoken, pictures of the food in restaurants etc.

The Jungle. Being in the actual jungle was a childhood dream fulfilled, especially so because it was really hot, really humid, really impenetrable and really scary.

Bangkok pfft
Riding Camels in the Desert pfft

Can't beat the Coronary Care Unit at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on a chilly Thursday in November.

Was scheduled to have a medicine review at the Doctors Surgery at 11.15am on Thursday.
At 10.30am i had a sudden crushing pain in my chest and knew immediately it was my heart.

I phoned for a taxi and was at the Surgery within ten minutes.
When i arrived there were four people in the queue ahead of me so i did what most British people do , i joined the queue.Unfortunately the old boy at the receptionists desk didnt look like he would be finished any time soon so i walked out the back to the Nurses room..
"Excuse me,could you help please , i'm having a heart attack"

Within seconds i had 5 or 6 members of staff attending to me as i drifted in and out of consciousness.

The Ambulances arrived within a matter of minutes - 2 Ambulances were sent as another male had collapsed in the car park and was in a bad way.

It wasn't long before i was at the Hospital , wheeled straight into the Operating Theatre and two hours later lying in bed in a lovely room on my own.

Turns out two of my stents had become blocked,so i had two balloons coated with anti coaglicant inserted.
Was back home Saturday afternoon.

Our NHS is wonderful.

Fourth one Ralph.You kind of know what to expect so you just put your faith in the experts and let them do what they need to do.


They usually go in through my wrist but because i have a lot of scar tissue there , the young lady in the operating theatre informed me that they may have to go in through my groin.
Without another word she whipped off my trousers and boxers so she could prep the area.

I wasn't expecting that.

My wrist was good to go though .

I may have said this before but
I wasn't expecting that.

Thursday morning had a reocurrance of the pain.The Ambulance came and whizzed me off to Hossy again.Not sure if the blues and twos were for my benefit or the school run mummies but it made me feel important.

Got me changed and up to the operating theatre again.

I suffer from low blood pressure so people sometimes struggle to find veins for canulas and blood tests.I dont let trainees use me as it causes me a lot of anxiety if they taketoo many attempts.
My surgeon introduced me to a student and asked me if i had any objections to her assisting him.

Stick a needle in me , no way...insert a bit of wire into my wrist and try to find my heart-go for it girl.Strangely i had no objection,our minds certainly work in odd ways.

Seems the 2 from last week were ok , and one of the remaining two was ok, theother one was blocked.

After fitting another balloon the surgeon "tidied things up" in the other veins and the job was a good un.
As i said,i have very low blood pressure so the heart-which is not working particularly well and has major damage to the left side-struggles to pump the blood round.I have some new pills which will hopefully help.
Arrived home again this afternoon, no visitors so no photos but the beard has gone.

Keep on keeping on
