I realise that I have been neglecting my blog. There has been far too much eating and drinking to do and I am currently the size of a small villa. Typing is not easy when your fingers look like sausages and your cheeks are so fat that they squeeze your eyes into a small squint.
Bill and Ben are still staying with us and I only hate them a little. Everyday I leave for work at stupid-o-clock and they stay asleep until sensible-o-clock. When they wake up they sleepily walk to the kitchen and make some breakfast whilst wondering about how many hours they will spend in the sunshine. Once they have mustered up the energy to get ready they wander outside and take ten steps to find the pool that they have had to themselves for the passed ten days. A few beers later they decide it's too hot and come in to wait for Mec and I to finish work so we can join them in drinking the night away. In fact I hate them A LOT!
Last week it got to 10am and realising they would still be snuggled up in bed I sent them a text message to tell them it was raining. Of course this is a 'Brits abroad' worst nightmare and I knew it would get them hurtling out of bed to check for the sun. Despite the fact that I had already told them it never rains here I got a message back saying 'oh no, I hope it doesn't come to this end of town' (no doubt at the same time they were throwing on swimming costumes to get to the pool as quickly as possible) Of course it didn't rain but I kinda wish it had.
At the weekend Mec and I took them to the desert to learn to drive in the sands. It took a while for them to get used to the fact that the steering wheel was on the wrong side and the automatic car only had two pedals but we got there eventually. Ben nearly launched us all through the front window whilst exclaiming 'Oh, the brakes are sharp' and managed to remember the highway code throughout the desert training. I am not sure that looking left and right for traffic in the desert is necessary but who am I to argue...at least the camels were safer.
Ben and Mec together is a little scary. Ben has 'isms' similar to Mec and I am amazed that Bill and I have managed ten days in the same house with them. I was told yesterday that Ben doesn't like hot drinks because they are hot...only Mec agreed and understood the statement.
We went to a party recently and it was catered by a company who provided two staff to help with drinks. At one point one of the women came running into the kitchen and said:
Woman 1: What kind of party is this?
Woman 2: Why?
Woman 1: That man there (pointing) just came and asked me for Thai cock
Woman 2: What??
Woman 1: Thai COCK
Thankfully after some investigation we discovered that he had asked for a diet coke.
Now what do you say to that?

10 days!!!??? Company and fish both stink after 3 days... I couldn't do it. Bravo for you.
i like thai food, but not diet sodas...i am glad my wife tolerates my friends and our ways...
We went to a Hunan restaurant once and ordered gin and tonics. The waiter brought us Tsingtao chinese beer. Not quite Thai cock but we laughed so much the owner finally came over to see if everything was all right.
Stupid O'clock. Gosh, I don't miss those days of getting up that early.
As for Thai Cock... no thank you. I prefer Cock Zero.
That's too bad. I hear Thai cock is delicious...
Had to share this with love of my life... he is a big diet coke drinker and I am sure we will be saying this a lot!!!!
haha! Engaging, humorous post! I have never experienced the desert - no such thing here in Hawaii. And perpetual sunshine seems odd. It rains at least once a week here.
Too funny. Diet coke. Thai cock. Yeah, they do sound similar. Glad you are enjoying your company. You have lots of company there. At least Mec got home in time to spell you with Bill and Ben and interpret for Ben as needed. Enjoy.
Stupid-o-clock....lol! You always get a laugh out of me.
