Let there be light.

Farang arrive in big silver bird and bring light in bottle!

It would be nice to come back after my 4-5 month absence and find that I do not need to spend a couple of hours going round and replacing all the light bulbs which have blown whilst I was away.

It's not a matter of money because I allways leave a supply of bulbs readily to hand.

I often wonder what would happen if all the bulbs blew would they flounder around in the dark until I return?

No, silly me, what was I thinking they still have all the candles for the Buddha ceremonies to fall back on!

Pussy mutilation!

What is it with the cats in this country they can’t have all had their
tails shut in the door!

Is it Thai custom to dock the tails?, some look as though somebody has
tried to tie a knot in it, I used to think it was a duff gene, (just like
Thai soi dogs all seem to have come from a small gene pool) but now I suspect it is
just ignorance and the owners mutilate them at birth just because it’s what
they have always done!

Anyone have any ideas sensible or otherwise?

In all the years I have been coming to Thailand I have only ever seen one Siamese cat. That was in Bangkok many years ago. Siamese cats have a genetic trait which leaves the end of the tail with a distinctive 'kink'. Why the locals should dock their kittens tails I've no idea. Perhaps it's a good luck thing.

Cats: even unapproachable, more or less wild cats have this trait generally. I think it is genetic.

Three-legged dogs.

That's another thing.

I have never seen so many as I have seen in Thailand. I think I understand why - the buggers never move when they are sleeping in the sois so there will be the inevitable accident.

Hi Bums

That's let the cat out the bag!

Whilst discussing the cats tail issue (sad I know) with a buddy he remebered an amusing cat issue from many years back. With my warped sense of humour I found it amusing and repeat it here ~~~~~

At the time i.e mid seventies

the individual in question happened to be living with his girlfriend who was a cat lover and also a nylon stocking wearing nurse. Stockings were standard nurse equipment apparently!

Now he being inclined to partake of dubious substances had the great idea of putting the cat in one of her stockings. To his great amusement the cat now looking like a cross between a giant sausage and a bank robber spent the rest of the afternoon squirming around on the floor whilst he tripped out and forgot all about it!

However, on returning from work the cat loving owner was mortified to see what had happened the her pussy, which had pissed all over the floor in fright.

Needless to say the relationship finished soon after.

Hmmm maybe he had produced the first cat burglar?

Another lesson learnt the hard way!

The Boss lady and stepson are off to Maha Sarakam to register him at the University and do all the necessary paperwork and find accommodation etc.

This means I will be home alone for a few days and the boss lady is afraid a farang on his own will not be able to cope. I assure her that all will be OK and nothing can possibly go wrong.

Well within minutes of their departure the ants have managed to fuse all the outside lights and I have bunged up the loo with potato peelings! (don’t ask).

To cap it all the water cooler bottle has run dry, not a problem as we have spares. I should mention that replacing these bottles is the responsibility of said stepson who is now en route to Maha Sarakam, again not a problem as any idiot can replace a water bottle.

So I grab a bottle that is all on its lonesome and am surprised just how heavy it is, so decide to unplug the cooler as a safety measure, health & safety you see.

Well its a bit of luck I did as when I get the bottle waist high and invert it the bloody thing shatters and deposits 10 liters of H2O all over the cooler me and the floor!

Now that is an awful lot of water plus 6-7 years of accumulated crap and dead insects that have been flushed out onto the floor. Resulting in an hour or so's work cleaning up, but a least we have a nice clean floor now.

It transpires that the bottle was languishing all on its own because everybody can tell a bottle that has been in the sun to long and is brittle and is waiting to disintegrate Everybody that is apart from this retarded farang!
