The Olympics

Thanks to the Olympics we are now not able to listen to BBC radio. Don't they realise that if we were the slightest bit interested we could watch it on the TV. IDIOTS. I hope all the people outside the UK that used to listen don't tune back in after the madness. I think that will bring the ratings down for the late night/early morning programmes.

Our View

Outside our garden we used to have a piece of waste ground which in the rainy season used to flood, bringing lots of very interesting wildlife. Now they have built up the ground that stops just below our windows. I think now they are re-constucting the Colditz camp. We are just waiting now for the sentry boxes to be built in the corners and the machine guns to arrive.

Not Good News

Its been reported in the Bangkok News that over 10,000 school children have Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in Thailand alone. Many more in the neighbouring countries. Over 22 schools have already been closed, as a precaution they say. I do hope they don't close the schools in Cha am or Hua Hin. That will mean the beaches will be packed and there are a lot more underage drivers on the road.

P.S This disease is not normally life threatening but the underage drivers will be I'm sure.

Pregnant

Last Friday a six year old asked Jess if she was pregnant, No Jess said, do I look fat then. Yes the six year old said. Bearing in mind Jess wears a size 8 UK size. The mind boggles.

BIZARRE SHOP

Is this the most bizarre shop you've ever seen. Come upon it in a shopping mall in Penang Malaysia at the weekend. No hat pins please.

Nick Names

Every child has a nick-name. Here are a few just in Jess' class. Modem (computer nerd), Vegas (gambler), Maple (sweet), Pond (low life), Fluk (no comment), Poo (speaks for itself) and the best JAMES BOND!!!!!
