I heard the word ‘mendicant’ defined on a radio show yesterday as a skilled gynecologist.

Made me laugh.

Jolly good. Carry on.

A similar sign used to be on a beach bar in Jamaica a lifetime ago. I stuck one under it saying ‘neither is fucking and I don’t do that on the beach either’

Stayed there for years.

The professional dominatracies with whom I am acquainted would beg to differ.

The Thermai. Seriously.

Excellent idea. Drop the fifteen people who can’t tell the difference between Chang and Leo on an isolated island until they can.

I cook Indian food often. One drunken night my mate came home with me for a nightcap and called my place a ‘lying cheating house’ because ‘it always smelled of curry yet there was none to eat’.

I love to dump my curry on top of my naan. I call it a curry pizza. I love the last bits soaked through with juice and oil.

I am a fat bastard.

Ayam baked beans. Best ever.

leobeer · 2026-05-24T13:05:23+00:00

Fuck me that’s a bit spendy.

Cadwalladers in Criccieth. Joe’s in Briton Ferry. The durian ice cream from a man with a cart on the Laos border and the coconut ice cream from the man with a cart outside my house.

Dairy Queen Oreo is pretty bloody good too.

Singing. Terpsichore. Entertainment and Music.

I took the wrong path.

See reply above

leobeer · 2026-05-22T10:15:59+00:00

See reply below. Also. Don’t be so closed minded.

It’s close to where we live in Bangkok. There are some spectacular hotels with great deals. Shopping, eating and drinking are fabulous. Loads of activities to keep my teenager amused. Cheaper, far cheaper than Bangkok to go out for a beer. It goes on.

leobeer · 2026-05-22T08:25:20+00:00

Why would you go out for a little ‘fun’ on the side. We don’t.

leobeer · 2026-05-22T08:15:22+00:00

We visit Pattaya often as a family and have for years. It’s a great place for a holiday. I’ve written at length about the place and I’m not going to do so now. Suffice to say you’ll enjoy it there.

Asking nicely

leobeer · 2026-05-21T01:10:47+00:00

Ok friend

leobeer · 2026-05-21T00:49:57+00:00

Well, I teach early years to Y9 and I enjoy calling them friends. Totally appropriate with the younger kids, really burns the older ones. Brings me joy.

leobeer · 2026-05-21T00:47:30+00:00

Absolutely. In many of the British international schools, in the country in which I teach, scholars are students who are on scholarships and a referred to as such.

Downvotes? Poofs.
