Where's the bloody cake?

· 313 words · 2 minute read

No presents, no cake with candles, not even a sodding card; what’s wrong with you bastards?

Check this. I know; a rather inconsequential post about a broken switch on my coffee machine. But it’s the first post on Pattaya days and it happened four years ago today; and as blog years are five times normal; Pattaya Days is now twenty. So, I ask, where’s the bloody cake?

All together now: “Happy Birthday to this”.

Postscript: In an amazing coincidence that in most primitive cultures (e.g. America) would be taken as a sign that there is a god; my coffee machine switch destroyed itself again last week and a replacement arrived today. Maybe not actually proof of a god, but definitely an indication of a four year life cycle for coffee machine switches. I bought three new ones, so I am covered for a while.

Well, goodness me! Here we are four years later and the coffee machine is still front & centre. Remarkable! Bit of a ranty-tanty because he thinks no one’s remembered, probably right. Still, if you’re going to go on for four years about coffee machines I guess it’s to be expected… Maybe I’ll check back in another four years, he might have got a Teasmade. Now that really would be interesting…

Read you original blog, but I’m sure I’ve read it before but I can’t recall whether I did or not. But then I can’t recall what I did, said, saw, or even ate last week. But if it makes you happy - ‘Happy Blogday’ Kimi for a podium tomorrow ! or will Jenson button it up again on Sunday ?

It makes me all warm inside. I suggest Mr. Hamilton will not cock it up two weeks in a row. But Kimi is looking impressive.
