Waiting

Jess and co were supposed to arrive at BKK at 19.20. They have just landed 21.35. Only another 2 hours 30 minutes to stay up. Just time for another drink or two I guess. Daves gone to bed already so its just me and the computer. He just cant take it anymore.

Bathroom

Well believe it or not the bathroom is just about finished. Daves up there now putting up a towel rack. If you listen very carefully you will hear the swearing. Its only taken 5 Months. Not bad.

Please Note

This we found between the Malaysian and Thai border at Padeng Besar. Come on be honest, how many of us will be refused entry into Thailand? Please enlarge to read.

Narrow escape

We went to Padang Besar to get our visas renewed. Our train was 4 hours late, this was the reason. There is only one line for both north and south trains. This driver had misunderstood the signalman. He hit a freight train and then hit a stationary train. The line was closed for 4 hours. P.S only four minor injuries. They drive their trains the same way they drive cars, bikes etc. With their eyes closed and their hands together, praying to Buddah.

Granada Asia

This saturday is the start of I'm A Celebraty Get Me Out Of Here! The one thats just finished in the UK. My favourite programme, the only thing over here thats worth watching. It just so happens our visas expire and we have to go to Padeng Besar this weekend to renew them, week 1 missed. The following weekend Jess and co arrive, week 2 missed. The weekend after we are going to Auytthaya, week 3 missed. Week 4 we will be in Bangkok. I bet I miss all the good bits. Still we know it will be repeated over and over again, so no worries.

Breakfast

Well after Christmas and New Year we are now back to normal. Whatever that is. Today we went out for breakfast before going to the beach. I had an omelette with mushroom and cheese. Nearly finished and what did I find? Two cockroach legs. I wonder who got the body? It was the same restaurant a few years ago where a cockroach flew down my shirt. I think maybe we should stay out of there before they give us severe food poisoning.

Family

We are now officially part of Mr Cooks family (so he told us last night). I do hope the rumours we have heard aren't true because I would hate to wake up one morning to find a horses head in my bed!!!!

Don't try this at home

After Mr Cook read the instructions on the fireworks (secure in the ground, light blue touch paper, run like hell), he did just that NOT.

New Year

Well last night was amazing. We met some friends on the beach after we had eaten. One of the ladies insisted on buying us lots of Thai food for us to taste. Plates and plates of it. We of course had to eat it, it would have been rude not to I guess. There was a great big stage where they had singing and dancing, and the obligatory lady boys. The music was so loud it vibrated all through your body. At mid-night all hell broke loose, it was like armegedon. Fire-works SOOOOOO loud. After the grand finale we all came back to our house, where we sat in the garden and drank whiskey until 3am. See we can still do it.
