kkjason, you can't have missed the discussion about my trip to KK to verify Matt's existence.

You are most correct - see my follow up post - it just takes me awhile in the morning - Cheers -
And I hear you slow at getting jokes too

I find Leo pretty easy drinking... And it doesn't give me a hangover.
Unlike singha (gassy and variable taste) and Chang (gassy and strong), I find Leo to be "just right"

Well I've asked the rental company to put a few bottles of Heineken in the fridge for my arrival. I'll certainly give Leo a shot. Can you buy it on draught, or is it only bottles?

I hate being called 'papa' by Thai boys. I know it's meant politely (usually) but it has two glaring defects 1) it reminds me of my chronological age when in my own mind, against all the boring daily evidence, I still feel late-20s, possibly on a bad day early-30s 2) it makes me feel far too respectable - I didn't go to all the trouble of moving out to Thailand to live a louche, decadent life only to be labelled a stuffy, conventional paterfamilias.
The other one I dislike is 'thank you'. Obviously not when it's said sincerely. I'm referring to the occasions when I might be passing a bar or massage parlour and respond to the entreaties to enter with a few words of excuse or an apologetic smile, only to have a drawn-out 'thank you' dripping with sarcasm follow me down the soi. It might be my imagination but this comment seems to have become more common over the years.

....Or that annoying prat who used to stand outside the Crazy Pub in Sunee and say to every passerby “Thank you for Smiling”.
Wouldn’t have much to say nowadays....
The wheels of birthday party time grind slowly but they grind finely.
Joe soon it will be upon you.
Are you getting nervous?
I know I am.
I won't be in Thailand for January but that makes me more nervous.
I can't explain this but by the 9th I'll be on something.
FRM why would I be nervous? I'll be sitting in a bar enjoying a beer or glass of wine - the rest is optional and in the lap of the gods.
