I just won a 500 baht voucher for Oh My Cod restaurant. You may recall it’s the place where Brenden, Leyton and I drank all the Bacardi at last November. I’m stoked with joy.
In other Thai news, from February 11 smoking will be banned in all restaurants and bars in Thailand. I have read online that enforcement of the smoking ban will actually be enforced, so hooray for Thailand becoming less like France.
Speaking of France, I know quite a lot about it now, having just bought another two Stephen Clarke books. The first one I read a few years ago, A Year in the Merde and quite enjoyed it. I’m currently reading Talk to the Snail which is a little too clever for its own good, but I have high hopes for Merde Actually which is the sequel to the first book I read a long time ago.
Couple of funny things to report, especially speaking of merde: Mint is trying out swearing in English, and it’s hilarious because she mispronounces it. Also, she’s the latest in a long line of people addicted to Quadrapop. Oh the humanity, when will it end?
Had a great weekend, saw Mr Woodcock at the movies, and it was quite funny, and good. Great cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Sean William Scott (who looks much older now than he did as “Stiffler” in American Pie, but I suppose the original American Pie was a 1999 movie, so most people would look older), Susan Sarandon, Amy Poehler, the guy who played “Randy” in My Name is Earl … great stuff. IMDB rating is only 5.1 but I think that’s unfair. Some parts were actually very, very funny. Not sure when it’s out in Australia.
And that’s it. Have a good week.
