Just had a couple of days cruising round the coast on my hog with the mean pipes (I heard that in a bar!) and seen some fantastic places up for sale but thought "What if that pedantic immigration bloke at the counter in BKK or here had got out of bed the wrong side that day, didn't like your face or the colour of your visa" - Oops! Your up the Swanee River a bit aren't you?
I'll stick to renting for now and not bringing too much stuff over here. I've borrowed a good set of golf clubs..............So look out! I can hit the ball 50-70 yards now..........Noooooooo problem.

A little fender bender involving a car, a motorcycle, and you. Then a sobriety check after the accident, and a resulting climb in your insurance rate or having to pay your deductible for the crash.
Well, D, at least it was not caused by an AK 47, an RPG, or an IED.
Maybe you should have Dodger come home with you so that he can chauffer you around.
Good luck in the real world.

Heh D Man send me pm re, shaun, and other stuff, you know secret stuff that no one else knows about, not even me, or you, or anyone.
Guppies are getting on great with each other, no problems they play together every day, in fact you wouldn't recognise them, their little blue and green faces smiling up at me everyday, smoking the bubble pipe and partying hard.
I love having them here sharing my life, my highs and lows, even came to my un-birthday party, didn't buy me any present, nor made much small talk with my friends, not sure if they even enjoyed a quick half hour in the Rosso quarium for old times sake, ungrateful little were wriggly beckers!!
Heh, major message, Pete's back 25th, big session of tunarisng going down from then onwards, you heard it here first!!!.

The bike rider has got hold of one of these solicitor partnerships - Quote "We are all bike riders here at XYZ Solicitors and sit around in leathers all day talking about cubic capacity and really want to do BMW drivers as they probably deserve it"
Looks like a "No Win - No Fee" jobbie to me. I have my solicitors on the case but needed to get back out here. So left it thier capable hands and hopefully out of the court.
My insurance are dealing with all the other stuff. I'm that naffed off about it Steve, I was losing the will to live mate.
Make it all go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, just got my UBC here so things are looking up! Can't wait to see my guppy friends again............They really cheer me up they do.

Dead Guppy Sketch
The cast:
MR. Denver
John Cleese
SHOP OWNER
Michael Palin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sketch:
A customer enters a pet shop.
Mr. Denver: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
Mr. Denver: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Denver: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Owner: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Denver: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this Guppy fish what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Phuket Guppy Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Denver: Look, matey, I know a dead fish when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable fish, the Phuket Guppy Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful scales!
Mr. Denver: The scale don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Denver: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the Rosso aquarium) 'Ello, Mister Polly Guppy! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you
show...
(owner hits the cage)
Owner: There, he moved!
Mr. Denver: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the Rosso bottle!
Owner: I never!!
Mr. Denver: Yes, you did!
Owner: I never, never did anything...
Mr. Denver: (yelling and hitting the Rosso bottle repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes fish out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead fish.
Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Mr. Denver: STUNNED?!?
Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Phuket Guppy Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Denver: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That fish is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged swim.
Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the reefs.
Mr. Denver: PININ' for the REEFS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Owner: The Phuket Guppy Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable fish, id'nit, squire? Lovely scales!
Mr. Denver: Look, I took the liberty of examining that fish when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its Rosso bottle cap in the
first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that fish down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its fish lips, and
VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Mr. Denver: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this fish wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Owner: No no! 'E's pining!
Mr. Denver: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This fish is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the bottle top 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-FISH!!
(pause)
Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh,
we're right out of guppys.
Mr. Denver: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Owner: I got a slug.
(pause)
Mr. Denver: Pray, does it talk?
Owner: Nnnnot really.
Mr. Denver: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Owner: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr. Denver: Well.
(pause)
Owner: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place?
Mr. Denver: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.

Hi Denpar!!!!!
Just thought I would drag up an old thread to see how your application to the SAS is going???
You should be on the top of their list at the moment after all the night exercises you have been doing lately....like
....infiltration of the local population (well half anyway!!)  ....evasion of the local paramilitary  ...... search and destruction of remote controls  .........recruitment of locals for a 5th column (house cleaning!)  ......reaching high office in the local community (mod)  .......living off the land  and lastly .....camouflage as a Thai Soap Opera  !!!
Let us all know how it's going!!!

Perhaps we can add, "destabalization of the local population" and "neautralization of hardware" to the list after very recent information just to hand but I'll leave that one to the DMan ( Destroyer Man ) to elaborate upon...

Noticed the high street was a little less populated tonight Deano, and people were staring with that same look, like startled rabbits gaze at you in your headlights before you mow them down, ...No idea why????????????
Reckon we got to rename the frog flattener?????

I'd rather it didn't if you don't mind! Too much of my 'washing' gets aired in public for my liking.
As for applying to the SAS, they apply to me.
I would never name a Guppy Polly! All their names began with a 'G' (Gertude, Gazza, Gimbal, Grinch Etc)..............Before various BM's killed them off.
The remote control is back after a couple of spin cycles, it would appear to have mixed all the channels up as well!

Then I'll have to cut her allowance! She told Dodge as well!
She rang me at ten past four in the morning (This morning) to tell me she was hammered on whisky somewhere in Patong and had nowhere to stay or no way of getting back to Kamala.
I could hardly make out what she was saying for the party music in the background, so I put her mate from the beauty shop on the line. She soon hung up!
....................Hasn't rung me so far today either!
