Going home today, for a night and a day.
It's to pick up my mountain bike so I can start riding it over here. Trip costs same as new bike, so why not?

I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
Wow are you sure?
ReplyDeleteApart from the sun beaming down on your baldy head toasting your remaining brain cell(s) (...hats don't work either they just become a steam cooker stuck on your bonce) there is the risk of getting mown down on the roads?
Thailand is the most dangerous place on the Planet for Brits. More die here than anywhere else on the roads. 49 people die here every day on motorcycles.
Mountain bikes same same without engine!
DHL? or are you so desperate tp sit on an aeroplane / airport for like 20 hours...Are you just looking for excuses to go home eh? I supposee you'll do back next week for your 'helmet'
ReplyDeletethats what i thought....... me thinks the end is nigh!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou in dubai yet?????????
ReplyDeleteHats, bonces, lots of question marks...that you Bob? Get a google account or it just comes up as anonymous. If it is you, nice to hear from you. If it isn't, then who is it? Who's in Thailand that calls me baldy?
ReplyDeleteSandy, DHL were going to charge 1300 GBP. Excuses to go home? Yes indeed, absolutely. I'm back at work now after a dreamy weekend.
Damn, forgot my shades...
Ahh I haven't gotten a Google account so that's why? Anyway yes its bad enough walking around in the heat for any distance without shade? I am commissioning a BMS in Maptaphut and the car park is 1 km from the MCC room. Not so bad in the morning but in the afternoon.... A hard hat or baseball cap tends to trap the sweat as it comes off your head and you have a nice steam oven cooking the old grey matter.
ReplyDeleteHere motorcycling and biking is much better and a lot safer as even during rush hour the roads are not so busy. There are fields and trees, grassy hills and the feeling of space,
Maptaphut, very nice. I could do with some time out of the city. You got the bike down there?
ReplyDeleteJust taken it back as PTT have totaled the bike sheds in favour of a Waste Treatment Plant! All day in the sun doesn't do the bike any good?
ReplyDeleteThe back roads in Maptaphut are really sweet. Wide three lane carriageways in places with less cars I got to using 5th gear regularly too.
To be honest for Oil & Gas this is where its at. All of the core petrochemical plants are down here and its a quieter place to live. The sea is about 2 km from where I am staying, which is a 208 sqm apartment next to a golf course. Bigger and cheaper than my place in BKK.
I think I've just found a new role model -

epic night out....
Yes I can imagine you in that scene, but instead of straddling the plane in a pink stetson, you'd have been locked in the toilet or something.
