This morning I realised that I'm truly living the life in full here in Bangkok. After all at 08:10 I was sitting on the back of a motorcycle, stuck in traffic on the Ratchawithi railroad crossing with trains approaching from the left and the right. The one thing missing though: no rain. At least now the trains did not spout smoke...or did they They did when I was on em...1st class London to Aberdeen...chilled chablis in a proper bucket...smoked salmon British Rail sandwich....twenty Marlboro and a Rankin book. Do not disturb.

And when you've finished that you can join your mates screaming and chasing cars to dry the pish stains off your tracky bottoms.

From the top of Harvey Nicks next week darling! Cleaning the windows.? More like licking them, looking in forlonly in quiet depseration at how the other half live. Looking back now I am sure he was the same scamp who put me off my evening ribs in Tony Roma all those years ago, excellent food and service, spoiled by having to watch street urchins and the like, thankfully later they soon installed pull down curtains.

"a smell of alcohol, old people and slow death."Aye living the dream, wiping old peoples asses in day care centre, bless him some one has to do it for a living. I hear he is now fluent in tagalog, komusta, mabute and all that.

A man of many talents and attributes, the world will be a worse place for his passing. I believe the phrase you are looking for is, renaissance man. I do wish he would learn how to tie a proper windsor knot, I am fed up of being ejected from premises because he is dressed inappropriately, lets be honest, who the eff wears brown shoes?
