Because I love Thailand so much, it has been over 3 years since I have been back down to gods own country, New Zealand. Finally though I have made the time to get back and visit the clan (not flock). Unfortunately this means I will be out of action on TF for 10+ days. But don't worry, I will miss my postings as much as you do.
If you would like any souveniers, please ask someone else. MikeAussieGuy has already filled my baggage allowance with his request for a lambs wool rug... with the sheep
Well, the inevetable has happened, Dr_Sassy has just overtaken Demonix as TF's all time #1 girl.For those of you with no life (like me) who follow this things, you will have noticed the Sasster quietly creeping up on Demonix over the last year or so, and she has finally caught her.Ms. Demon did put up a fight over the last couple of weeks, but unfortunately it was too little too late.So congrats to Dr_Sassy on her new position, I hope it lives up to your expectations (what ever they may be)
Hurry up, it's nearly 6:00pm! The laundry area closes at 7:00pm and I need my shirts washed! On the way home buy me some dinner from the restaurant up the road, something spicy but no fish! Stop by the 7/11 and pick up some milk. While you are there, don't don't forget to pay the damn electricity too, it's almost due (I told you last week). If you must, get yourself a Valentines Day card, but make sure it has a message already inside; I am tired and it would be inconsiderate of you to expect me
It's true, go check out his profile! Maurice and I know Stu quite well (unfortunately), so we met up with his Mum (lovely lady, can't believe they're related) for lunch to get the gossip.All became clear upon learning that while this new g/f looks hot and has an IQ several times that of dear Stu, the poor lady has poor eye sight, is tone deaf, doesn't watch cricket, and is renknowned for her charity work with the mentally afflicted.That being the case, all I can say is 'Good On Yer Stu', I hope
A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a 5-Iron golf club wrapped tightly around his throat.Naturally, the Doctor asked him, "What happened to you?""Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole; we both sliced our balls into a cow pasture. We went to look for them while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.""I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a
...post profile photos they have taken of themselves while sitting in cars???Men do not do this. Browse a few profiles to check if you like.Another great mystery of the female species has been uncovered.
Three things men love to hear......from women (but rarely do)
1. I'll pay.2. Yes, I love to swallow.3. Sure I'll do the ironing while you watch the sports; but first let me go and get you some more beer and nachos.what do you think?????
...to see our newest happy couple both at number one and both showing their lovely photos of each other... now if someone would kindly pass me a bucket
...aka "The White Party".I had such high expectations for this event. White is the colour of purity, Christmas is just around the corner, and my 32nd birthday had just past. So many reasons it should have been wholesome family fun. Alas, the wicked demon in the bottle was released, Wallace took his shirt off, and all hell broke loose!Lucky ThePunisherCam was there to catch the action This is what it should be like. Angelic young ladies showing off their beautiful Thai smiles *sigh*....Friends sh
The Thailand Friends United Continence Kinsmen (T.F.U.C.K.) is a secret support and networking association for men seeking temporary emancipation from the vagina.Men in Bangkok are constantly barraged with the temptation of succulent female flesh, and last nights inaugural meeting at an undisclosed location provided a sancturary for those in attendance.As a men only gathering there were naturally lots of manly activities and conversations which women would not comprehend or approve of. In additi
Our dear Maurice would like everyone to think that he is the quintessential macho Aussie male. From the outside it appears he is constantly making jokes and taking swipes at us Kiwi's (and the Brit's) to prop up his swollen Aussie ego. Those of you who hold this view could not be more wrong. In truth, our beloved Maurice is a great big softy beneath those finely woven suits; with a heart the size of a particularly well fed Merino that hasn't been shorn for a rugby season or two.As proof I offer
This was my 4th Loy Kratong in Thailand, and previously, I have not really enjoyed them. My complaints have been fairly standard: noisy, crowded, polluted, impoliteness, and even thievery. Last night I spent my Loy Kratong at Wat Arun, and for the first time I really enjoyed myself.Yes there were a lot of people, and yes there was a lot of noise. But, it seemed more orgainised, more beautiful, more relaxed, and people putting their rubish in bins and the abundance of bread kratongs put my enviro
After a a few days of shall we say... compulsory vacation; The Punisher is back in business!That's all. Good Night Ladies, Gentlemen, and Furry Little Creatures
I think most of you know what to expect by now. So without further a do, let's get down to business.... Early on in the night everyone got the chance to pose and admire each other's costumes. It was good to see Khun Lung up and about, although his illness was more serious than many thought as he still had a large growth protruding from the top of his head.Some took a more 'hands on' approach to their costume admiration.TF's Golden Girl, Dr_Sassy, started drinking early with obvious affects to he
Koh Samet, a quiet island paradise only 3 hours from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok... ...and then the TF Party Bus arrived, and paradise.......was forever lost! There were babes......gambling and buckets......pretty boys and buckets... ...and take-away buckets (my personal favourite).Naturally there was dancing. Golf and Varden are doing the Armenian Shuffle. The Punisher started taking out the competition early on in the evening.... ...although Stu thought it was all fun and games (I later d
Not so long ago, my fine self and Chris went for a 4 day motorcycle ride in the North East (Isaan Region) of Thailand. Leaving from Bangkok on friday evening, we rode first to Korat. On the Saturday we did the long stretch form Khorat to Ubon. The ride from Ubon to Surin on the Sunday was more leisurly. On the Monday we almost made it back to Bangkok without getting drowned by the rain... almost.What follows is a photo account of some of the highlights. Immediately upon entering Isaan we found t
I've been back from Vietnam for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I would get off my arse and finally put some photos up (Macca has been pestering me too, between you and me, I think he fancies me a bit). I was only there for 6 days, but managed to take over 300 photos. I have to say that Hanoi and the surrounding provinces are absolutely stunningly beautiful.The service staff there I found to be rather more effecient than in Thailand (everyones order came at the same time in restaurants for e
It seems that TF has been attracting more than the usual number of Farang morons recently. As my big 'stick-o-stupidity' has little bashing value in the virtual world, would it be too much to ask that the powers that be flush them down the virtual toilet before the stink of poo-poo becomes too great for my sensitive nose? TIA.The Punisher.
It was good to see many of you come together for Cocoa's party last night. Things started off slowly enough, but as per usual things heated up pretty quickly The man of the hour preparing to do what he likes best... well maybe 2nd best. Beauty and the Handsome Charming Beast Not once... ...but twice! There is more to Zeus's and Frank B. Burners relationship than meets the eye. Cocoa is obviously in extacy about something too. It's probably better we can't see the bottom half of this photo..
Thaksin was a criminal who only got away with what he did through using his wealth to manipulate power. This might not be anything new, but that is not an excuse either.
He was not a freely elected democratic leader, he did not play by fair and democratic rules, and all indications suggested he did not plan on giving up power or control of Thailand.
What the army did, while maybe not 100% honourably motivated, was a last resort to remove a psycologically damaged man from the helm of a sinkin
I have just come back from Governement house. I went to have a look on my bike, armed with my camera and underpowered flash. There was a lot going on down there from just after 10 until about 12am.You can see some of the photo's here http://www.flickr.com/photos/20535389@N00/ As I said, my camera is not the best so I couldn't get clear photos of much. But basically the army were set up at the 3 main corners around government house with 2 tanks, soldiers, and police at each. On Sri Ayuddhaya Road
