Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas
Cos’ turkeys just wanna hav fun
Turkeys are cool, turkeys are wicked
An every turkey has a Mum.
Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas,
Don’t eat it, keep it alive,
It could be yu mate, an not on your plate
Say, Yo! Turkey I’m on your side.
I got lots of friends who are turkeys
An all of dem fear christmas time,
Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say humans destroyed it
An humans are out of dere mind,
Yeah, I got lots of friends who are turkeys
Dey all hav a right to a life,
Not to be caged up an genetically made up
By any farmer an his wife.

Turkeys just wanna play reggae
Turkeys just wanna hip-hop
Can yu imagine a nice young turkey saying,
‘I cannot wait for de chop’,
Turkeys like getting presents, dey wanna watch christmas TV,
Turkeys hav brains an turkeys feel pain
In many ways like yu an me.

I once knew a turkey called…Turkey
He said “Benji explain to me please,
Who put de turkey in christmas
An what happens to christmas trees?”,
I said “I am not too sure turkey
But itÕs nothing to do wid Christ Mass
Humans get greedy an waste more dan need be
An business men mek loadsa cash’.

Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
Invite dem indoors fe sum greens
Let dem eat cake an let dem partake
In a plate of organic grown beans,
Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
An spare dem de cut of de knife,
Join Turkeys United an dey’ll be delighted
An yu will mek new friends ‘FOR LIFE’.


RIP Benjamin.

Goodness, wishing you a speedy recovery Booder. No more trip reports like that please.

Great photos and videos Tom.

We were just away for a week to celebrate my 65th birthday. Loved Marrakech, it's people, culture and food.

Looks Fab Kev.

I went nick the goat to nearly get you arrested to Morocco once on a day trip from Gibraltar. The highlights were eating a goat, missing the ferry back and almost getting arrested.


 

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?

Marrakech Jemaa El Fna Square and Medina.

RIP Sir Bobby. Over 17 years at Man U and decades serving them after retirement from playing. Won everything there was to win in the game. A true legend of the beautiful game.

Fantastic photos Tom. Mrs Red looking radiant. Where are you off to next?

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 

Very exciting. If you haven't already I hope you get to see the magnificent Angkor Wat.
