In Trat, upon returning from Cambodia last week, I spotted this mailbox which seems to indicate that anyplace other than BKK is insignificant..

I am sure some of you have seen this one in Luang Prabang. Similar to the above. Not sure where he is going but it is "somewhere"!

The best T-shirt spotted in Laos this trip

Sorry muppets, no details on the location of the babe, as she was one of the hottest village girls found by the GT Rider this survey.

AHA!
And how the Africa Twin arrived in Vientiane last night....Monday 13th October 2008....



Yep, that's right. 2nd trip in a row into Vte from the North & it broke down about 15 kms from the last break down spot, approx 120 kms out. Almost unbelievable.

LAUGH

And the cause - dropped the drive chain out the back. Incredible good luck, just cruising along about 40 kph through a village "for a short breather" after riding for 5 1/2 hrs non-stop from Phonsavan, trying to set a good time to Vte non-stop.

The chain was an "el cheapo" 3,500 baht Thai one, that I was persuaded to try because it was as good as a Japanese one. Yeah yeah I thought, well why not give it a go.
But truth is, it needed to be adjusted every 6 weeks & this was to be the last trip with it, after only 6 mths use. The Snail & I inspected & adjusted the chain before leaving Cnx & agreed it was not as as good as "the real thing" Jap ones. 1,500 kms later in Phonsavan I checked again & thought yep, this will definitely be the last trip with it.

AND

5 1/2 hrs later it was gone, out the back.

But this had to be my lucky break
Stopped right in the middle of a village.
Straight across the street from the local motorbike shop & within minutes we had 5 guys searching the road for the joining link & split pin.
We found the side plate 20 metres down the load, but nothing else.
AND then
whilst still searching the road a guy in a songtaew pulls up & asks if I want a lift to Vte.
Give me 5 more minutes to look for the missing bits I said.
Ok, he joined in the search, 5 minutes was up & I said lets go to Vte partner. No lengthy price hassling, 1500 baht was asked for the 120kms trip & we settled on 1300 baht.
Not too bad I thought as I would "save" 350 baht for petrol roughly, & I recalled waiting over 3 hrs for pick up in Feb when I broke down in the dark.
Arriving in Vte at 8.15 PM I thought still not too bad, as I had not set off from Phonsavan until 11.40AM!

And this could have easily happened between Phonsavan & Phou Khoun, right out in the boonies with almost no vehicles on the road! This was indeed my lucky break. I'm very happy!
A new chain is on the way from the GT Rider's mate Chan Kok Pyng at M-Technik in Singapore.



Lurkers & couch potatoes you can all take the piss now.....

THE WEDDING TEST…

I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two wore very tight miniskirts and was generally bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate because she never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well I was in total shock and couldn't say a word.
She said 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom and if you want one last wild fling just come up and get me.'
I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold my entire future family was standing outside all clapping! With tears in his eyes my father-in-law hugged me and said 'We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'
And the moral of this story is:




Always keep your condoms in your car!

Spotted in Fang a new promo sign at the 2Gether Bar

and regrettably we failed in our mission.
The Tod Man Gung came out as Tom Yum Gung, the Yum Moo Yaw was excellent but the Bacardi Breezers were wasted & not appreciated.

What can I say

Son of GT Rider has done it again. Fortunately nothing serious only a "suspected" broken ankle. I love the diagnosis.
I was only informed 12hrs after the event, but the patient is happy where he is, so let him be.

Hhmh. Jason comes home from the hospital, slips over in the bathroom bringing the sink crashing down. It shatters.
Dad goes in to help him get up & promptly slices his foot open on a porcelain shard.
The blood does not stop gushing out, so off to the hospital.
1 1/4 hrs later, 4,000 baht poorer & 5 stitches between a couple of toes, he hobbles off home, not exactly a very happy camper. Not impressed with the 4,000 baht bill at Lanna Hospital!
My pen rai. These things are sent to test us out.

I know that here is many HSE guys and others who know what MSDS is.

this is so true

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) For Men


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Element : Man
Symbol : Ah (short for Asshole)
Quantitative : Accepted at 7 inches though some isotopes can be as short as 4 inches.
Discoverer : Eve (discovered by accident one day when she had a craving for ribs)
Occurrence : Found following duel element Wo, often in high concentration near a perfect Wo specimen.

Physical properties :
a) Surface often covered with hair; bristly in some areas, soft in others.
b) Boils when inconvenienced, freezes when faced with Logic and Common Sense, melts if treated like a God.
c) Obnoxious when mixed with C*H*-OH (any alcohol).
d) Can cause headaches and severe body aches; handle with extreme caution.
e) Tends to fall into very low energy state directly after reaction with Wo
(Snore... zzzzz).
f) Gains considerable mass as specimen ages, loses reactive nature.
g) Specimens can be found in various states ranging from deeply sensitive to extremely thick.
h) Rarely found in pure form after 14th year.
i) Often damaged as a direct result of unlucky reaction with polluted form of the Wo common ore.
j) When pressure is applied, becomes stiff and unyielding; yields only when subtlety, subterfuge, flattery are applied

Chemical properties :
a) All forms desire reaction with Wo, even when no further reaction is possible.
b) May react with several Wo isotopes in short period under extremely favorable conditions.
c) Most powerful embittering and aggravating agent known to Wo.
d) Usually willing to react with whatever is available.
e) Reaction Rates range from aborted/non-existent to pre-interaction effects (which tend to turn the specimen bright red).
f) Reaction styles vary from extremely slow, calm and wet to violent/bloody.
g) When saturated with alcohols, will be fairly inert and will repel most other elements.
h) Is repelled by most household appliances and common household cleansers.
i) Is repelled by small children clothed in diapers, particularly those of the
malodorous variety.
j) Is neutral to common courtesy and fairness.

Storage :
a) Best results apparently near 18 for high reaction rate, 25-35 for favorable reaction style.

Uses :
a) Heavy boxes, top shelves, long walks late at night, free dinners for Wo...
b) Can be used in recreational activities.

Tests :
a) Pure specimen will rarely reveal purity, while reacted specimens broadcast information on many wavelengths.

Caution :
a) Tends to react extremely violently when other Man interferes with reaction to a particular Wo specimen. Otherwise very maleable under correct conditions.
