blind boy grunt

bang on Seven. even the so-called actual experts [should they really exist] are just guessing.... i only believe QG!

i had a haircut last august if you don't mind! and anyway, they are all shut....

well on a similar subject, Quinn gave me some sound advice this morning... Face mask! i'm going to ask Sunny for a pair of her kecks........ thanks Quinn! ...... i guess her famous shorts would be a bit useless though....

a lot of the food carts have vanished in jomtien. For years, all day and evening there were four in situ every day in my local 7-11 car park. chicken, fried banana , fruit some sort of thai food ...... all but one now gone. some still doing the motorbike food cart thing in Jomty...but not many... even the thai customers have gone. There was a time until recently that riding down beach rd in the evenings was like a food cart obstacle course. not any more. the only traffic is the police checking the beach.

where did my new hairstyle come from? !!! and...don't talk to me about that gel alcohol hand stuff. i saw some going free in 7-11 a few days ago, i.e a free dab on the counter. So heeding QGs dire warnings about the end of the human race if you don't use the stuff... i gave it a go. Not realising that it was 70% alcohol. i'm allergic to alcohol, can't even use an alcohol based deodorant. ... So at the moment my hands look as though they have been dipped in boiling water. thanks QG!

and...welcome to the club Rukki.

well that's a surprise then QG..... a member of a welsh anti-smoking group suggesting that smokers quit?.... surprise surprise! maybe i will then.. obviously after 55 years of puffing away quite happily as soon as i do my lungs will suddenly morph into those of Sebastian Coe.... you've not posted the rather wonderful newspaper report from last week yet... the one where some bangkok big wig stated with absolutely no commonsense whatsoever that smoking was to be banned anywhere even outside in Bangkok.. transgressors to be fined 4000 baht. His reason that exhaling smoke can also expel Corona Virus. He was soon shut-up when people explained that he would have to stop people breathing too! stop believing every thing you read QG please! some people just want to see their name in the papers..... If it's on the net or in the newspapers, like the things that you read in the bible...it ain't necessarily so... but just to inform, my nephew in England - i'm guessing in his early-mid 50s, who has been a severe asthmatic all his life, has just recovered from CV... you see then QG...not all reports have to be doom and gloom to back up personal prejudices my boy...

had to slow down a bit while i sort through some other photo's.so just to keep the thread going another i just found of the gorgeous Nicky. Below that... christ almighty....there's no getting rid of him! Mr svelte man.....again... but not so svelte in this shot!! i promise no more........

i believe! i believe!

ah..of course..tinned stuff, i wasn't thinking.... don't actually like it too much. i remember the happy days in Piccadilly in an Irish bar which sold the draught stuff...you even used to get a shamrock or something drawn in the froth. i suppose it closed down 40 years ago!

enjoy life as best you can BB. i'd love a guinness me self...

CORONA UPDATE !!! saw them last night...SUNNY and MIND are fine . Happily demolishing a couple of those big grilled fish things ..Sunny assured me it was actually breakfast..... i'm unsure if she meant yesterdays or today's. and Teya messaged me at 6 a.m this morning...thanks teya! she's fine too. relax boys.... the world keeps turning....

er QG...so in these dark doom-laden days... 'essential' doesn't include going to 7-11 to buy food? where mayhaps the said 7-11 is actually next door? and just happen to have one electric kettle for sale on their shelves? hardly travelling out of district heh? glad to note that the 8000 thai's in morchit bus station one day last week were heeding the governors advice. one also assumes that cleaning stuff will magically appear in the tin shacks all over Chonburi., as people cannot go out to buy it, not that they would anyway. My condo is cleaned every day by me.. Only yesterday 4 bottles of bleach were washed over all floor and wall surfaces in the bathroom... great smell! but you misunderstand...before anyone decides to sue me..i did actually suggest it's not a good idea to cook stews in an electric kettle. you're just jealous because i've now mastered another technological mystery...both kettles and lift buttons i'm pretty good at now.... i thought that you'd be proud of me. not to worry...just to impress you... i was also told in the said 7-11 that from today anyone not wearing a dodgy totally useless face mask will not be served. that's an easy equation then. No mask =no serve = no go. have stocked up on essentials don't worry... loads of ciggies! what ya gonna do if some scientist discover's that nicotine kills corona!!!

I've been off the forum today as i had a lot of thinking about this Corona stuff to do. it does seem that some of you guys are quite worried, so i wondered if i could come up with some suggestions that may help allay those fears. i remembered that a very famous person [i forget who] once said that every problem is also an opportunity. So, taking advantage of the time which i now have on my hands i decided to try to overcome my natural technophobia. I know that Quietguy at least is going to be impressed by this. I can actually hear him saying to himself... 'so Blind Boy...what did you do? Thanks for asking QG...i'll tell you. I walked down the road a ways and bought myself an electric kettle. I was quaking all the way back home carrying it, wondering what the hell i'd done. Scared that my impetuous action would lead to a nervous breakdown or something Like. With mounting dread i finally worked out how to get the devilish thing out of the box. But no fear guy's.. i am proud to say that within ten minutes i mastered the mother. i guess Einstein must have felt the same when he finished his Theory of Relativity. Technology or at the minimum electric kettles, now hold no fears for me! i've cracked it, life is so good now. tell you what else i discovered..using the gravy granules things... ya can make gravy in it too! I would suggest though that no-one puts the rest of the stew in the kettle as the big bits tend to block the spout. so, what about some of you peeps? all locked down with little to do? Well BB, i know that you are worrying about the waistline recently...plenty of time for sit-ups now! get on with it.... Pdogg... did i read recently that you are going a bit Michael Jacksonish? easy-peasy.. practice the Moonwalk, it'll go down great at future parties. QG.... practice getting your HazMat suit on quicker, just in case at some future date you see the postman walking up your garden path. every little helps guys, every little helps.

nope, i leave that sort of thing to the professionals like you and BB! now, where did i put my Hasselblad?...

jeez! because you managed to take one dodgy photo in january with your lucky bag special.. you're an expert now! whatever, teya looks gorgeous.

i thought it was too good for your brownie! one of yours BB? did teya borrow Sunny's bra?........

my god! i'd forgotten what she looks like....... nice photo QG. she'll be back soon, much better for her here in jomty than up in nakhon nowhere. she'll be missing her other mum [emmy] too.

not nice QG! anyway it's much more fun talking about the size of BB's shirts than all this philosophy stuff....

don't read too much in to Teya going home...she was always planning to at the end of March for a holiday to see mum. i'm living on noodles too! Sunny can always come and stay with me......... i promise i wouldn't announce it...........

and that's the most sensible thing you've posted in the last 3 weeks! i think..... mind you i always thought that he was a Brazilian footballer

Our Sunny is becoming a bit of a Philosopher! Jimmy Cargo...have you been discussing existentialism with her recently?

all well QG. what i do in private with photo's of Lily is up to me! [is that what you meant?]

but we continue..not so many of Bell on here. Here she is at Emmy's Birthday bash back in July 2018. bell was in her 'i'm gonna be taller than anyone else tonight mood...' god she was tall! and below that...real history! correct me if i'm wrong BB but i suspect one of the first photo's that you ever did at Katty... and you captured a smiley MInd!
