Tyresome

8th January, Thanks to DavidT

Maybe local motorcycle and auto repair shops have come up with a new idea to inflate their income. Pickups shovel tacks, nails and screws on well used thoroughfares in the dead of night.

We have had 7 punctures in 4 months compared with 1 in the ten years before.

There does not seem to be much one can do about it.

Changing from Bridgeston to more robust or run-flat tyres would cost about 17 k Baht.

Any ideas?

 Starting the New Year with a Winner

30th December, Thanks to DavidT

Some years ago, a friend invited me to a New Year party at his local bar. It cost 520 Baht. The meal was not too bad and came with a glass of wine.

A waitress was constantly on the go selling raffle tickets.

I bought 5 @ 10 Baht each. The three prizes were on show on the bar top -- a bottle of wine, a small hamper of foodstuffs and an envelope sealed with a red ribbon.

About 00.30 the raffle was drawn. Number 60 won the wine, number 82 the hamper. I was delighted when my number 17 was drawn for the third prize. Up at the front of the bar I received the envelope amidst much applause.

Back at our table, I was begged to open it.

Inside was a voucher for 10 free raffle tickets for the next New Year party.

Red shirts return to power. Hopefully they will have a bit of time to proves themselves, or not, before any further troubles.
