01/ Feb.

I went out with Poi on the weekend (eat your heart out Sammy) and a bunch of other girls from work, it was a lot of fun, you order your drink at your table, they bring the bottle to your table and then some guy hovers about pouring your every drink. (very weird) Bow did take over pouring once or twice, for a small Thai girl she's a fish, I was impressed, she is lots of fun.
There was a band who played cover songs a mix of bubblegum and hip hop, the band at least took themselves very seriously, they looked like they had spent a lot of time working on their image (somewhat less on the music, but one can't have everything. There is no dance floor in these establishments, when the mood takes you, one stands up and dances at there table (kind of dancing around your handbag-zilla) Of course some people did eventually take to dancing on the table.

O.K I have been very slack, virus issues with the computer, job hunting stuff and general living gets in the way. Last weekend I went into Bkk to my favourite bar (the one that used to be a petrol station, it's so weird drinking margaritas from a salt encrusted plastic cup (oooh yeah it's all class baby). The lady boy waiting staff were very keen for me to try some of the Thai herbal cocktails with names like "Tiger strength", "Blood dragon" and "cupid of sex" (oh there was more) I was worried they may contain blood (or other bits) of possibly endangered animals so I declined even though they promised to "Increase healthy" "cure your hipper tension" (hey these days it's the only part of me still hip) or most worrying "relieve heart beating fast".

Anyway, suffice to say the grenades that someone threw outside the old airport this week were really not much news, no injuries not even very large pot holes in the road, Bkk is becoming a little stranger with each passing day.
