Today I had two of them.
Firstly, as some of you know I organised a TF trip to Ayudthaya in October.
Unfortunately, halfway through the day, the SD card in my camera reported a fault, and said that I had lost all information on it. Basically all the photos I had taken that day, and from my trip to Vietnam were gone.
I tried to recover them a couple of times, without success. Today, I was fiddling with the card, cleaned the connectors, and stuck it in the slot on my MBA, and lo and behold ever
The odd on us having a White Christmas here in London just got a lot shorter. It s snowing really heavily. I have not seen it snow like this in Central London for a long time.
Snowball fights later, once its deeper. :-)
You don't get them in BKK.
I just went out to scrape the snow and ice off of my car, as I need to use it early tomorrow morning. The temperature is reading -3 degrees Centigrade, and that's in central London.
Last night in Braemar, Scotland it reached -20, and in Leeming, England the lowest ever recorded in England, -15. ( well that's according to the BBC news.)
Roll on February, when I return to Thailand.
Look at the size of this guy!! Hercules is a 900-pound-heavy, 6-feet-tall and 12-feet-long liger who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest cat.
Born from a lion father and tiger mother, Hercules grew into an impressive creature, able to run at speeds of up to 50 mph and eat 100 pounds of food in one sitting. Ligers have been known to be fat and unhealthy cats, but Hercules is an exceptional specimen that got the best from both feline races.
During a recent photo-shoot, Hercules’ care
Whilst riding around the island today, on my motorbike, I stopped for a bite to eat.
I ordered a mango salad. The waitress brought me banana and watermelon in syrup.
I said, "That's not what I ordered."
She said, "We have no mango", and walked away.
That told me. :-)
I know that its the rainy season, but f**k me this rain seems to be following me.
I have been rained on in BKK, Ayudthaya, had to leave Koh Kood early because of almost continuous torrential rain.
Got soaked on the sppedboat back, got soaked in Samui, and almost knocked over by wave in the road,caused by a car driving through the floodwater.
Got soaked yesterday whilst trying to take pictures here in Sukhothai ( its not easy trying to take pics with a camera in one hand, and an umbrella in th
Aomlovely asks if everyone can try and get to Charlie Brown's by 08:20 tomorrow morning, as she would like to depart at 08:30 sharp.
Also she would like to remind everyone to dress appropriately for the temples. Kunny, this means you. :-)
Apparently Bang Pa in palace is quite strict on this.
See you all tomorrow. Don't forget your cameras!
All seats are now reserved,and everyone has confirmed to me by PM that they are coming.
THIS TRIP IS NOW FULL!!
We have managed to fill both minibuses, including the seats up front next to the driver.
Sorry, but we cannot take more.
Went for dinner at Charlie Brown's tonight with bCool and AAAum. Thanks Dave for the beer and good food, and company. I had a great time. Until you threw us out.
Got back to my hotel (its their anniversay party,) and all the reception staff are pissed as newts.
The manager is offering me all the beer I can drink,( I took him up on a few), and as I am sitting here, I am watching the Sales Manager chucking up in her lap, totally wasted. LOL
Welcome to Thailand.
I am off to bed
Good news!!
More people have signed up, so we are keeping the second minibus. This means a bit more space for everyone and their beer.
Fifteen was sounding a bit cramped, and according to Kus, these buses have only ten seats for more comfort.
So far we have:

Less than a week to go for the trip. I PM'd some of you a while ago, to get an idea of numbers for minibuses.
