Cool Who shares my pain?

Hi all,

I am a not so secret Thailandaholic who is happily married in Australia. Life is generally pretty good and my wife loves trips to LOS so I don't have anything to complain about.

This isn't a complaint I am sharing but my pain.

Four mates of mine are meeting this weekend in Phuket. Two are arriving tonight and will be on the beers, and the other two arrive tomorrow (or something like that). They will have a dive on Saturday or Sunday and a big night on Sunday (no doubt on Bangla Rd).

All I can think about (and its driving me to distraction) is being there. I was last in LOS for 4 days in January and previously for my honeymoon, but I could seriously handle a good 2 trips a year.

Anyway the long and short of it is four mates are kicking it up in LOS and i am unable to join them.
Just feeling sorry for myself.

Cheers.
Scotty

Yeah its terrible, I can't go to Patong tonight either because I've got a dentist appointment Saturday morning, have to wait 24 hours, blues really hitting home hard at the moment. 5555555555555!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As george said book a flight and get over here with your mates, tell the wife about how you lost your memory and have struggled for 3 or 4 days to remember who you are and where you live.

I had some major dental work done a few years ago in Phuket, and I travelled alone. I just said to my wife yesterday, "you know, I should have had those three last teeth done, they are starting to give me some trouble. Looks like I'll have to go back for 8 days by myself again. Where there is a will..........

Actually, that's no bullshit. What stops you might be a quick talk to you boss for holidays and you go. You could be hit by a bus tomorrow and miss out :-)

Hey Scotty get a copy of the local Perth newspaper, look under classifieds personal column and you'll see sh1t loads of Thai students trying to make a quick buck from "selling a service" ! I was there a few months ago doing my Biz visa and had some cracking Thai birds back to my place, i guess its the next best thing

I'd be very curious about any wife who would encourage her husband to go away alone to somewhere as notorious as Phuket..... sounds like there's maybe an ulterior motive here.....

Btw do you still have Milkmen and Postmen in Australia !!!!!

Its a good bed I am lying in Masterwoodsman. Its not my wifr denying me access to fun with my mates, as much as its the crappy 4 weeks hols we have here. She doesnt mind me going to Thailand with mates in principle. She would just object to me taking a holiday when she has to stay at home and work.
Am just so under the pump with work and life here that a week in LOS with the lads would be a perfect tonic...when would it not be? Anyway spoke to the wife and we are going to tack a week in phuket onto our Japan trip next march/april.

Have a good night all!

Its a mistake anyone could make Dodger. Don't sweat it. But I undertand your angst.

My dentist (or is she a dentistette?) could probably bench 50kg.

At least you weren't getting ready for a colonoscopy

Its a fair point mate. When I think of the productive minutes I lose each day under the banner of personal hygiene it makes my blood boil.
