PS did they charge you double at BBP?

You talk about N/S being a' young people place' and then you blow your cover but rambling on about Petula Clark.Blimey,I'm getting on,Nong old chap, but you must be ancient!

The giant capapult hordes have driven from the scene! I watched a couple being propelled into the heavens last night, why anyone would want to do this is beyond me!
Yesterday it was too much for one "rider"? If reports are to be believed went into shock and ended up hospital!
Parking is desperate as you might expect and today everyone is shopping like mad, tomorrow as well, then stay off the roads for a few days until the fluid levels in the head have returned to a more normal level.
Personally I will stick to English Breakfast Tea ( Crabtree and Evelyn) , you dont get that up KPP do you? Well I will stick with that until, oh its past mid day, time to get the G and T's out!

Your welcome O/G best of luck. Keep us posted how you get on.
Dave regard's Crabtree & Evelyn tea are you sure you have to put at least 5 tea bag's in one cup to make a descent brew. You'll be telling us next that it's that it's ginger flavoured or some other flowery type rubbish. I think it's the stuff that they use in that fish and chip place opposite the pier at Clacton last time I was there they had those heat proof cup's and you could see the bottom through the so called tea, went well with the bap "Very soft" roll's all very 60's. I of course have the top tea Sainsbury's red label some 9 pack's of 480 tea bag's in each of them. Go's well with my Frank Cooper's Vintage Oxford Marmalade, not to mention the Marmite on toast "Proper bread not aro crap.  
Had a G&T last night and with the Schweppes Indian tonic delish went down a treat. There I was sitting on my large Granite veranda breathing in the clean cooling air, the light's shimmering Glinting as they shone through the fountain and waterfall that are adjacent to our enormous Lido, the Dolphins frolicking, I bet you can visualise me now holding my  Crystal cut glass my little pinky sticking out I really did looked the part. How us Landed Gentry live A.

What a waste of bloody time! We left our village at 8.30 am and toodled in to N/S at about 10.15am stopping for a quick slash on the way.....well you did say a full report.I expected to see an assortment of bands,polystyrene rabbits and dragons wending their way down N/S High St. to the raptuous applause of all and sundry but what did I see? Bugger all activity.Don't you N/S- ites get up in the morning?
Having been told that nothing will happen until dark ( presumably when the locals feast on the blood of virgins....no chance with my party I'm afraid.......when took a drive to Beung Boraphet.On the way we saw the effects of the recent floods,unbelievable.The aquarium was a pleasant surprise,millions of kids flying around and pointing at us Toffs from the North.We can't help it,we're just special people.By 2.00 pm we were back in t' smoke and settling down to a very nice pasta bacon cheese bake.....when it finally turned up,that is....in the Chino's Hotel.
We then made our way to the riverside where we spotted the rehearsals to a forthcoming concert.If the practice is anything like the real thing,your'e in for a real cackle. The missus bought a pair of shoes ( that goes without saying,ofcourse) before we finally had enough and,with a sigh of relief,left the City of the Damned and headed back to civilisation.

Time now nearly 6.30pm I see that the N/S peep's have not put a post in, all be it just to apologise, now am I surprised well NO.
Look's like one of them has come out of the wood work as I tap but still no apology I see.
Sorry to hear O/G that your experience there was pore to say the least, but you should know by now that all is not well in Cough, Cough, Wheeze, Wheeze N/S.
So if you have the misfortune to live there you have to try and kid yourself as well as us Upper Crust's it's great. Well you caught them out big time. I did try to advise you but at least you got a half decent Pasta bake, long way to go for it though A.
Next time you travel down the 1 going south just before the city of the damned AKA N/S, there's a turning orrf to the right it's sign posted bypass BKK My advice is to get on it sharpish, will save you a lot of problem's.
N/B have had a word with the right peep's here and as your injection's are up to date your welcome to come to one of our coffee morning's anytime. That's of course if you don't come out in spot's & boil's in the mean time.
T.T.A.K.P.Phet

It was a close run thing,Fred,but the boils are disappearing although the emotional scars will be with me for life.Even the missus had to be resusitated.After that,I'll never complain about the condition of the KPP bypass again.Just about ready to leap on my favourite pinto and tally-ho on to the Hunt.Examined every nook and cranny of the car to see if any of those N/S reprobates had smuuggled their way in.If they had,we could have let them loose in the forest and enjoyed a bit of sport.Coffee and crumpets for high tea anyone?

[fredob43]

Glad to hear O/G that you are making a good recovery. Not to much I can do about the emotional scar's but now your back with us proper peep's and with lot's of fresh air in your lung's a tough young bird like you will soon sort yourself out. Just remember that you wont ever have to go there again.I can see the rosy tint coming back to your cheek's as I tap.
I know the G/L got a pair of shoe's while you were there, might be a good idea to get them fumigated just in case any of those nasty little N/S bug's/tick's have sneaked their way in, better to be safe than sorry.
Take it easy on Pinto today, if your well enough by Sunday for the next hunt, we are kicking orrrf at 8am as usual. I'm sure you heard we got 6 of the little blighter's last week, not to easy to see them but the Irish Wolf Hound's soon sniffed them out Diesel/Petrol fume's don't you know.

No there you go again I am talking history, you must not confusion history with old age, cor blimey squire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight there is a big pan bashing ceremony and parade the like KPP will never see, you may even hear it, rehearsals have been going on for most of the day, anyone with serious heart complaint should not come down. Not expecting anyone from north of the border where all the geriatrics live, the atmosphere will be too much for them, thats the electric one not the "Les Fumuers" from the combined forces of the NS motoring asssociation ( est 1946).
Pakistan 256-7 Broad and Swann 3 wickets each ( neither would be seen dead in KPP)

[fredob43]

Well Dave at last you are referring to us Upper Crust's with the right term To-Wit Squire.
Come on then detail's of the pan bashing and parade what the Buddha is that all about. Please don't tell me you will be going as I will definitely think you have lost it.
As far as the motoring ass: don't have one of those here, the only time my Limo is started is to whisk me orrrf up north.
Going next week by the way Visa run. Only hope they have cleaned it up a bit since some of the N/S peep's were there.

[nong38]

Have to admit Fred, I dont go down for the parade, I tried it the first time I came here, arrived in cavalcade with the 4th Generals regiment!
The parade came so fast I thought time had gone into reverse and everytime the BIB cleared the road and things moved forward all the parents jumped in the road to take more pictures of their off spring! As I had by this time eaten my packed lunch I decided to bail out. So since this introduction to crowd control I have now decided that I am best of dreaming about in bed, surrounded by KPP's finest "CLASSIC"
Hope things are nice and tranquil up there in the colonies, sipping lemonade and supping Earl Grey in the morning and eyeing the Bombay Sapphire for the afternoon tea break, for me today I have to go to Big C for a photo shoot and this afternoon I am giving a talk on the perils of crossing the KPP border to 49th motorized perambulators division at the local army camp, you will miss that if you take the by pass. There is no truth in the rumour that they are planning to absorb KPP into Nakhon Sawan, what is the point! So you can all go back to sleep for a while, cricket starts at 1300 on www.webcric.com  and so far putting up a much better show.
Toodle pip!

The shoes! The bloody shoes! I knew I'd forgotten something.Talking about forests,have you noticed there are no trees in N/S,Fred? I looked everywhere.They've got those plastic things in pots in hotel grounds but that's your lot,really.C'mon Dave.Did you chop all the blighters down to pay for all those nice concrete highways? The whole place is ruled by the mighty automobile.You couldn't swing a cat in the areas left for the poor pedestrian.

Sorry to correct you O/G but they do have them tree's that is not many but they are there. If you go down the 1 to the bypass, and wait for it go strait across into N/S yes I know EEEEEK there are some in the middle and also on the left poking up through the plastic litter. The reason you more than likely didn't see them is they are coloured grey, I think from the exhaust fume's, so they blend in with the road, concrete, and the general crud in the air, but there are some. Just in case the N/S mob try to catch us our with a point of order, there are also some on the bypass. If you look past the store's on the right and also on the left a few KM in land there is the odd one or two sticking up through the rice paddies, again not easy to see as they seem to blend in as well. There's a thought what does the rice taste like from there. Don't panic that stuff more than likely go's for export. Well I hope it does.

Update I'm not going to watch the cricket anymore in the last hour we lost Cook Petersen Morgan disaster. For bugger all run's. Only one thing could be worse and that's a night in N/S.

[nong38]

THe cricket was going great whilst moving new earth which arrived fro the garden, 5 mins in the garden, 2 overs on the pc, 155-1 when I switched off. Look for 100+ runs lead will make it interesting and they have no reviews left.
The parades went down big time yesterday so reports come in from the metropolis, you will never have seen anything like where you are even if you have good visibility, suppossed to finish today but now going on until sunday owing to public demand and the lines of buses entering or approaching the vicinity, some if not most of the vehicles coming from the north with KPP plates have been belching fumes like you would not believe, do they not service they machines over the border? I begin to think that all the fumes and bad visibility you go on about must be coming from KPP modes of transport and yours in particlular as you always seem to be in the worst place, If I were you I would have it checked out maybe be scrapped for the sake of peeps in N/S.
Now just so you know what to look out for, the BIB have been sent to the northern border to look for smoke plumes heading south.
The grey trees that have been mentioned by the way are silver birch.
Showaddywaddy are back in town to re release their 70's hit "Heavenly" which of course refers to the Heavenly City of Nakhon Sawan.

I went down to NakWan yesterday on me motorbike (built in smog mask) to do a 90 day report.

In and out inside 4 minutes and very helpful ladies.

Then up to the big market to look for a bakery supply shop which didn't have much so I went to another one 2 streets across fro LotusTesco at Fairyland.

Everybody was diverted around the back streets due to the parades and there were some really tasy girls there in the parade as I found out later trying to find a parking place to get to the second shop.

I found it after crossing a street ful of girls and while in the shop looking 4 or 5 Chinese gong bashers came in and scared the crap out of me.

I got my bits and left snaking throught the parade and went up to BigC to the Kbank who couldn't help me and then to some exotic international cuisine (KFC) that was full of Thais and the queue out of the door. I met Nong 38 briefly but he was in a rush to get home and look at some dirt.

Back to Fairyland again which was easy to get to and the policeman let me through the barrier but I still couldn't get anywhere near to park so back to BigC and the same problem at KFC.

I ate in the food court, pork steak and chips at 50 baht, then I went to global house and couldn't find what I wanted, up to Salok Bat to Lotus Tesco and home.

The fog and crap was all cleared away by Salok Bat which oddly enough is the border between the North, KamPhet and NakWan in the South.

For all its faults the girls in NakWan are far more beautiful than their Northern sisters.

I know that you can send your visa update by post so why Oh why are you going to N/S Ok you like a drive but did you know that all this rushing form pillar to post is taking year's of you life Bill. Last time you got run over by some old dear that couldn't see through the Fog/Haze. Take it easy come to K.P.P (A world heritage site) to the new post office pop in your bit's then orrrf round to my place for a beer or two. So Dave is now a budding P Thrower Id like to ask what he's going to grow Grey flower's or veg that he wont be able eat unless he spend's several day's in an ICU room being detoxed.

[exeter]

KPP a world heritage site? Good lord the only heritage bit is that is populated by the geriatrics, Zimmer frame land I think KPP is called, if the Chang Brewery colapsed so would the local economy, they woulkd no doubt then want a union with NS or to put it simply to be bailed out. You may not like it bu NS is a HUB in Thailand and you should be lucky to be in the spin, why are there so many happy people in the NS? Why have a lot of them arrived from the north, escaped over the border to a city flowing with milk, honey, Chang and noodles, the proverbial end of the Rainbow, even Dick Whittington came to NS as do all the famous, why would anyone want to be seen dead in KPP? Well only the dead, they go there to die not to live like the folks in the electric city of NS! ( just checking the cheque is in the post- sure?)

[hullupullo]

I was there on wednesday evening, very nice night out. Next year will sure be in town for 3 or 4 nights.

Oh, sorry my offtopic, will not happen again.

[nong38]

Tomorrow all the high jinks come to and end, the racy chicks return to their day jobs, black arm bands will abound and the pace of life in NS returns to its more gentle pace of coffee mornings at Fairyland, lunch time sessions in the BIG C emporium ( M-W-F/12-2pm). Croquet in the park about 1030am, deck chairs and ice creams on the beach, now if you think that sounds a bit like Montevedao, south america you would be right that is just the atmosphere. The latin beat takes over from the gong/pan bashing and as they in south america, particlulary Montevedao "Lifes a Beach I'm going to Nakhon Sawan."

I will start a big thank you to Dave for the cricket info.
Now If you want to see parade's you should come to K.P.P for the Banana festival I can assure you that you wont have your ear's buggered by peep's bashing on a bit of tin. Do you read my post's??? I have on several occasion's mentioned Limo's they are not the sort of thing's you get there they if you look on the Internet they are upper crust peep's motor's.
Silver Birch never heard of such twaddle. And to cap it all you have started to twist Bill's mind, in an earlier post he has admitted to eating Petrol pork in your Big C that could be fatal don't you know.
Come on then what are you going to grow with all this new earth you've had delivered ??? I await with bated breath "Don't liken that to your shortness of breath"
To bring you all up to date don't know why I bother really K.P.P. IS A World Heritage site look it up, or if you care to venture further North you will see the sign " Cant miss it as it go's right over the road about 20km after the N/S smog clear's" you are now entering the province of K.P.P. A World Heritage Town. It's all to do with the fact that it used to be the old capital of Thailand known then by the name the Diamond CITY and we still have lot's of the old ruin's here. Unlike the so call HUB that please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean lot's of very large road's all converging in the same place, very large road's converging mean's lot's of traffic, lot's of traffic in Thailand mean's lot's of fume's. I rest my case.
I did like Exeter's use of word's To-Wit spin I think you'll find that the only time your going to spin there is when you lot get light headed due to the lack of oxygen, and eating all the infected food. The end of the rainbow indeed more like the end of the world as we know it. And it does flow I'll give you that, why only a few month's ago it flowed big time no not the traffic that never flow's, but with flood water. Beach back yet???
It's now not N/S "Nefarious Sh/t" it's now known as the electric city so called because you have to turn ALL your light's on during the day just to see where your going.
Dick Whittington. Got it now isn't that some sort of Pantomime. For the peep's that don't know what a pantomime is it's Fairy Tail, a bit like all the peep's in E/C are living.
Master of the Hunt.

Good new's about England.
Black arm band's, deck chair's on the beach (What beach got washed away didn't it) Ice cream's with grit in them. Croquet in the park??? The only park's there are car park's. I have got to find out the S/P on this Fairy Land place and what twit came up with a name like that. Lunch time's at Big C's so called "food" hall, coffee at F/L I did notice that all these place's mentioned by you are inside now why am I not surprised, followed by a trip to the local doctor's for the usual Jab and three different colour tablet's. I see that we all haven't been informed yet of what's going to be planted in your market garden not illegal is it. Yes that will be it as you lot are definitely high on something.

I found it after crossing a street ful of girls and while in the shop looking 4 or 5 Chinese gong bashers came in and scared the crap out of me.

I got my bits and left snaking throught the parade and went up to BigC to the Kbank who couldn't help me and then to some exotic international cuisine (KFC) that was full of Thais and the queue out of the door. I met Nong 38 briefly but he was in a rush to get home and look at some dirt.

Back to Fairyland again which was easy to get to and the policeman let me through the barrier but I still couldn't get anywhere near to park so back to BigC and the same problem at KFC.

I ate in the food court, pork steak and chips at 50 baht, then I went to global house and couldn't find what I wanted, up to Salok Bat to Lotus Tesco and home.

The fog and crap was all cleared away by Salok Bat which oddly enough is the border between the North, KamPhet and NakWan in the South.

For all its faults the girls in NakWan are far more beautiful than their Northern sisters.

Bill,the reason why the women "are far more beautiful than their Northern sisters" is because they're not the real thing! The female population were exterminated during the The Great Toxic Waste Disaster which left them infertile........ever see the film The Stepford Wives?
By the way, Nong38 had to 'rush off to look at some dirt' because his oxygen tank was running low....that big grey thing strapped to his back and,believe or not,looking at dirt is they're idea of a good time.

Well the garden project only started just before the great downrush of water from your place and others like it, but had to be shelved until the water went to BKK. So far we have a banana tree, new leaf every week, obviously loves the area, mango tree doing well but a way to go before fruit appears, pomegranite had fruit but still only a young tree, somello came up be bus from Pattaya, the locals looked at me as if I was from another planet when we both asked here!, We have 2 on the go and Lime tree and the most recent member is a Papaya which is slo breathing well, so there you have it, not Kew gardens but when we have moved the earth and got the turf down, it will be like Lords ( in the tropics ).
Look 3/4 of an hour before the cricket and have to go to 7-11 so we need 2 or more quick wickets to get inot the tail of the opponents, so thats all for today. Visibility 20 miles and a gentle breeze, looks good, you should all get your wheel chairs out and watch it in the garden!

I went down to NakWan yesterday on me motorbike (built in smog mask) to do a 90 day report.

In and out inside 4 minutes and very helpful ladies.

I know that you can send your visa update by post so why Oh why are you going to N/S Ok you like a drive but did you know that all this rushing form pillar to post is taking year's of you life Bill. Last time you got run over by some old dear that couldn't see through the Fog/Haze. Take it easy come to K.P.P (A world heritage site) to the new post office pop in your bit's then orrrf round to my place for a beer or two. So Dave is now a budding P Thrower Id like to ask what he's going to grow Grey flower's or veg that he wont be able eat unless he spend's several day's in an ICU room being detoxed.

I quite like keeping in touch with immigration as they do my visa extension every year and being a hansum man helps a lot.

Another reason is that I have no idea where to find a bakery supplies shop in KPP.

I am thinking of designing an airconditioning system connected to my motorbike which feeds cool air to the inside of my helemt, down inside the jacket and trousers and out the bottoom.

The biggest problem is getting an efficient smog filter and the rest will be easy I think.

Petrol pork is no problem as after 20 odd years eating military food plus Bobbies chili stew with beef in Singapore my digestive system works well enough to covert it into fertiliser for the garden.

THe heritage sign, yes I have seen it its says "Closed- please hurry along to the next province9 or go back to the "Promised land"
Got a couple of palm trees in the garden doing my bit for the planet and we have successfully levelled the lot, so 2 thai workmen, when they remember to come will be short of cash when they leave!
You know whenever I thing of KPP I think of NUTS, do you have a KP nut factory there or is it Ki Ora you have to keep people in work?
I am surprised you have limo's up there, I was thinking yesterday why would anyone want to run a limo here, lets face it the roads are not top hole are they? Now you might have some top bits of track but what is the point of driving up and down your drive all day long to avoid the pot holes, peeps here soon caught on have pick ups, 2 sorts the most popular is the one that picks up the bits that have fallen off the one in front and thats usually a Toyota.
Well the cricket was a b/ disaster, 1and 1/2 days to get 145 and they clearly all wanted to get down to the beach and buy some t shirts, disgraceful as is their wicket keeper appeals for anything, make a good beggar on the Underground. Well the day can only get better, just a final thought if KPP had the DRS you could be all out as well, might have to come south of the border, be careful, never know who's listening.

Let me put you right yet again, the down rush of water did not come from K.P.P it came from the dam at Tak bypassed K.P.P. a world heritage site as it would do and then on to N/S E/C what ever it's called now and you copped it big time, just like you have done for the last several year's on the trot. Not as bad as this year must admit but you just wait till Oct: this year and you'll have it yet it again. Update there I was last night having a romantic meal overlooking the Ping and noticed it was up more than 1.5mt due to water released from Tak yet again, so in a day or so what ever is left of the so called beach there will be a goner.
Banana tree's. Tip as we had several outside our place now gone don't what ever you do plant them near any water pipe's as their root's will bugger metal pipe's short time. And once you have them they are one hell of problem to get rid of. I don't know if you know but once they have born fruit they will die but don't worry they will push up several new shoot's for the next generation pull out some because if you don't they will take over. Mango's have two of the bugger's in the garden now 15 foot + high 12 feet wide they also grow big time no problem but plant them well apart. Papaya great have three of those and this year have had at least 15+ on each one Delish getting near the end now more's the pity. Somello also get big the Pomegranate not to bad sizes wise. The one's next door to us are about 5' wide but only 6' or so high. I would ask you to send a few sample's up here but my constitution is not as strong as Bill's.
Bill what sort of Bakery supplies do you want let me know as I might be able to help you out.
Sorry Bill but have got to get back to Dave's latest post he just won't go away, I blame that on you as you have gone there and even met up with him now he's got above his station.
Why have Limo's had a Vigo 4x4 before and even though it was high up not classy enough for the Master of the hunt and other than N/S the road's near us as they would be are now sorted. Talking about that how's the Bypass going. Ki Ora that remind's me do you remember Jubbly same sort of thing but with a triangular sort of pack my dad told me about those. But I'm sure you had them first hand. Orrrf now as my brunch has arrived via my Stepford G/L.

Thanks for the gardening tips. I remember the Kia Ora lady coming out at the interval at the pictures but everything was 6p very expensive, when you are at school, so sometimes I used take fish ad chips in a plastic bag, with lashings of salt and vinegar made the back row very  aromatic but most enjoyable non the less. Do you have cinemas that far up country?I have not been here as most of the English/American films seem to have the wrong soundtrack on cant understand  a thing, I did call ther manager over and point all this out to him, after a while he came back with a bus ticket to KPP, what is the use of that?
