I'll build a railway bridge from Thailand to the UK. Well Australia funded the Bridge near Vientiene that carries a train but cannot yet get to Mengla by train. When it does you can get to UK by train so no need to waste more Aussie money for no thanks building bridges,

I'll build a railway bridge from Thailand to the UK.
At long last, something that I can actually do. Bridge building is my forte.
I worked as a charge-hand on the construction of both bridges on the Lantau Link, which are the Tsing Ma Suspension Bridge and the Kap Shui Mun Cable Stayed Bridge.
Both were great projects to work on.
Kap Shui Mun Bridge
Tsing Ma Bridge
BTW, the surface is a road for vehicles but the span of the bridge is hollow, as the MTR (Hong Kong's BTS) runs through the 'envelope', so it is also a rail bridge.
I think that the bridge anchorage could be set in Soi 22, me and Smokie will pop over and inspect the area soon.

To save time and to keep down the construction costs, maybe we can link up with the Java Tunnel Project.

"Both were great projects to work on". Allow me to translate from TTFT speak into English: I had a brilliant time in Wan Chai with all the filipinas go go dancers and Lang Kwai Fong on a Friday night was tits.

How dare you Mr. Chiang Mai, how very dare you.
I am a God fearing Christian of good stock and I would not sully my good family by frequenting dens of fornication and other sins of the flesh.
Not for me was the tedious ungodly yet legendary drinking sessions starting at The Wanch and then falling out into the favoured nightclub of the day, which would be one of Satan’s evil temptations such as The Big Apple, Pussycats, New Makati, Neptunes, etc.
Further, I refute any accusation that I used to hang around the Hardee’s/Jolibee’s near to Statue Square on Sundays just to try to pick up one (or two) of the 1,000s of Pinay maids that take over the whole region.
No Sir, when I wasn’t building bridges my time in Hong Kong was spent praying to the Lord.
BTW, have you ever seen how packed the churches around Central get with single, lonely Philippina maids every Sunday?

And allow me to translate this one. He is saying goodbye to someone and thanking them for all the fridge.

Sorry, just listened to it again and he said 'fish' Goodbye and thank you for all the fish.
The intonations between fridge and fish are very similar, hence the mistake. I suppose 'fish' makes more sense.

Incidentally (and this should really be in the 'TTFT's amazing daily fact thread.'), Emlyn Hughes did all of the dolphin voice overs in Flipper, the TV series.

As it happens I'm a Catholic myself. I've heard stories from my grandfather about waiting in the pub next to church and at end of mass quickly asking someone coming out of church what the sermon was about just in case the wife, looking after the kids, would ask Anyway, no hanky-panky after church, unless it was a wedding, your wedding

TTFT is glad that it didn't go over everyone's heads.
