As I know from personal experience, the performance of local construction contractors can be “variable”. And so it was with a contractor at the Siam Ocean View Condominium; such that his contract was eventually terminated for poor performance.
Being a professional contracting company, their next step would be to contact their lawyers and institute legal proceedings against Siam Ocean View for wrongful termination of contract, should they feel they had been wronged. But, being a gang of cowboys, their next step was to come to the site and make threats, and then finally to sling a couple of fragmentation grenades into the development; one of which exploded.
I asked she who must be obeyed how the hell people acquire such munitions. It’s easy, she said, just tell me what you want and I will get my father (he’s in the army) to send it down by courier.
Anyone want to buy a bazooka? It’s larger than I expected and frightening the cats.

Then who’s going to look after the cats, amuse your readers, keep the photography, computer and desk supplies people in work, etc, etc.? Be careful,be very careful!
2009-07-26| Spike saysYou are, as usual, correct.
The publisher would like to point out to all those in authority with no sense of the finer points of ending a post with a witty quip, that there is no bazooka.
And can Ivan from the free Chechnya movement please stop calling.
2009-07-26| Wentworth saysFirstly thank you for the Heckler & Koch G36E. It arrived safely today and I was most impressed by the careful packaging.
Secondly in the photo the under side of the top balcony appears to be plaster of the same type used inside. Shouldn’t it be some other material suitable for rendering?
