[Denver]

Have to agree with Jonny here, it's all part of lifes rich tapestry and travel opens your eyes a bit more to it. The Russians we have working for us here are a cracking bunch of lads who get on with anyone. That bloody Vodka though!! Bloody hell and I don't mean Smirnoff!!

I had a Russian bloke staying in the next bungalow at Patong Villa to me this trip. He came in, two days after me, carrying the biggest set of golf clubs I've ever seen and a duty free bag! Approximately ten minutes later the most stunning Thai girl walked by the side of his pool and straight into his room. I didn't seem him again for three days.

When he did eventually emerge out of his room for a swim, I got chatting and commented on how bloody lovely his girlfriend was, as you do!! We had a few scoops and he was from Kiev, working in Capetown, South Africa and holidayed in Patong.

A cracking lad, lovely girlfriend and played off a 9 handicap! His girlfriend didn't have any sisters though!!!
