Re: Broken Mower

I'd love a competent, efficient, reliable person to mow my lawn. I hired a Thai kid of about 18 once and after assuring me he knew what he was doing, drove the wheels off my 6-month-old 15,000 baht push mower, overfilled the oil reservoir and left the job unfinished. I have almost three rai to cut (...

Re: Life with the Maid

I had a 30 acre garden in Rhodesia with seventy servants and my private airstrip. I sold it to Sir Robert because I thought it might cast me in a positive light. I'm just a normal Briton. Does British Airways install economy class seats? I highly doubt it. Nearly every (fairy)tale includes class sta...

Re: Hua Hin Trip Report 1

It was here that I saw 3 young Aussies order garlic bread, chips, spring rolls and bread and butter as their meal. Why bother getting on a plane? Perhaps they had heartburn. Had a spot of heartburn for a few days so fancied some farang food. Fish and Chips: I searched and searched. Went to Soi 80, ...

Re: Life with the Maid

Agree with the op 100% My wife and I have a fairly large house and a young daughter. It became quite a chore keeping the floors mopped, the dishes washed and the windows clean. We hired a maid. The first day she showed up an hour late. About 10 a.m., she explained her husband needed the motocy and s...

Arlo, Ive found many can buy a cheap sausage stuffer in MAKRO. Likely not top shelf, but it works. Do you use fennel in your Italian sausage?

Re: Thailand to become like America?

Absolutely -- it's due to the rising number of garbage outlets of TESCO LOTUS crap stores selling garbage volumes of pure, unadulterated shit products. The British population stands around biting their lips and rubbing their hands, pointing to McDonald's or KFC, where Thais eat once a month, but tur...
