3 months and counting

Thanks wise I have been thinking about doing it like that. If I can ask in watch part of this great country do you inhabit. And why did you not come to come aid in the NFL v AFL discussions. Maybe your location will tell me why

[Guest]

you guys are lucky.....from the time I get in the taxi at my apartment in the states, and into my hotel room in Bangkok, it takes exactly 30 hours. hence, 2 or three LONG trips per year rather than 5 or 6 short ones; that trip is a killer.

I used to have really bad withdrawal symptoms leaving thailand......got on the plane and would start getting really depressed for a week or 2. now it just sucks but I can deal because I know I will be going back [relatively] soon.

I will think of all of you when i will be in BKK again. For me i can count in hours not in days.
As i am about 5-6 times per year there i don´t have to wait to long, but on the other side i allways stay there only for a couple of days.

Hi Ozzie

I am in Sydney. About NFL/AFL debate - I never really caught the football bug (I mean any code of football) and basically wouldn't know what I was talking about!

Cheers

I am in Sydney

I figured you where from a northern state which would mean one of two things. Either you were a rugby man or did not give a damn about either. Clearly you are the second which is better than the first IMHO.

I work up in Sydney quite often and so if you are ever up for a quiet beer let me know.

Cheers

Mirimark.....EXACTLY !
Beer , it's not just good, it's good for you.

It's just not for breakfast anymore.
Where's my beer joke's ? If I can find them I will post. I think I did already , I dont remember

The Beer Prayer
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, The bitter and The lager.
Forever and ever,
Barmen

The Inebriation Scale
0- Stone cold sober. Brain as sharp as an army bayonet.

1- Still sober. Pleasure senses activated. Feeling of well-being.

2- Beer warming up head. Crisps are ordered. Barmaid complimented on choice of blouse. Barmen complimented on nice trousers.

3- Crossword in newspaper is filled in. After a while blanks are filled with random letters and numbers.

4- Barmaid complimented on choice of bra/Barmen complimented on his boxers. Partially visible when bending to get packets of crisps. Try to instigate conversation about bras. Order half a dozen packets of crisp one by one.

5- Have brilliant discussion with a guy at bar. Devise fool-proof scheme for winning lottery, sort out cricket/tennis/football problems. Agree people are same world over except for the bloody French.

6- Feel like a Demi-God. Map out rest of life on beer mat. Realise that everybody loves you. Ring up parents and tell them you love them. Ring girlfriend/boyfriend to tell them you love them and they still have an amazing arse.

7- Send drinks over to woman/man sitting at table with boyfriend/girlfriend. No reaction. Scribble out message of love on five beer mats and frisbee them across the room. Boyfriend/girlfriend gets pissed off. You buy him a Long Island Iced Tea.

8- Some slurring. Offer to buy drinks for everyone in room. Lots of people say yes. Go round the pub hugging them one by one. Fall over. Get up.

9- Head-ache kicks in. Beer tastes off. Send it back. Beer comes back tasting same. Say "that's much better". Fight nausea by trying to play poker machine for ten minutes before seeing out of order sign.

10- Some doubling of vision. Stand on table shouting abuse at all four barmen. Talked down by barmen's wives, who you offer to give a baby to. Fall over. Get up. Fall over. Impale head on corner of table. Fail to notice oozing head wound.

11- Speech no longer possible. Eventually manage to find door. Sit and take stock. Realise you are sitting in pub cellar, having taken a wrong turn. Vomit. Pass out.

12- Put in taxi by somebody. Give home address. Taken home. Can't get key in door. Realise you've given address of local football club. Generally pleased at way evening has gone. Pass out again.

Ahem......do you want me to piss you all off my letting you know the flight time from Singapore to Bangkok?

Or that it was 1 hour 25 mins to Phuket last Thursday evening?....and will probably be about the same in 3 weeks time?

[Snick]

or that it can costs as little as $20 RT to fly Bangkok to Phuket.

[Guest]

ehh, you guys can't make me jealous.....for me it's only 30 hours and 950 dollars to get to thailand

[Guest]

Stogie,
Are you spying on me ?

It takes me longer than that to get to work!
