Home Alone and Bored, Not a Good Combination, Isaan Thailand.

Last night I was bored, well because I was home alone and no Nong Ja to play with and keep me occupied I decided to have a couple of beers and watch the Australian Rules Football.

Next week is the Thai election, Thais will vote for one of the useless parties that are not worth a pinch of shit, but the Thais will return home to their villages and vote, plus get their money from each candidate. Vote buying is in your face and everybody knows about it.

Early voting was this weekend so that meant no clubs or pubs are allowed to sell alcohol. This is also the same next weekend. Apparently some incredible bright spark (not) thought that banning the sale of alcohol many years ago, would mean all Thais would vote and not get incredibly drunk with their vote buying money. So above is what shops do. They wrap the bottles in newspaper so no-one knows that it is beer in your plastic bag.

Anyway a few beers led to a few more and maybe even a few rums thrown in as well. This meant waking up with a dreaded thumping going on in my head.

I thought a big brunch would fix everything, but I seem to be wrong as I still feel like I was beaten around the head by a metal pole.

And all I feel now is a swollen stomach, maybe I cooked too much. Even the two paracetamol haven’t kicked in and worked, yet.

But never mind as I am crawling back into bed to watch AFL all afternoon and hopefully the odd nanny nap or two as well. Things are bad as I am watching the Adelaide Crows, one of the worst teams to grace the AFL, it doesn’t help they come from South Australia, Crow-eaters are a breed in their own. They play Geelong where most ferals and criminals live. There you will find plenty of stolen cars and other household goods on offer and nearly all will have flannelette tops and tracky daks and even a beanie on.

Coming up are the West Coast Wedgies from Western Australia, Sandgropers are a step above the Crow-eaters but still a strange lot.

I am off to bed.
