Correction. Yellow and black kettle.


2012-03-29 | Grant says

Correction: Yellow kettle with black handle and knob…


2012-03-29 | Spike says

Quite right. Nothing worse than an imprecise pedant.


2012-03-29 | Grant says

Exactly. That sort of loose behaviour could lead to the collapse of the Empire, and then where would we be?


2012-03-29 | Spike says

Gin and tonic shortages? I shudder at the thought.


2012-03-29 | Grant says

If that includes fresh limes, quite horrific old chap. By the way, thanks for clearing up the mystery of the spoons that have been going missing from my kitchen cabinet. I had been blaming the War Department’s dear little old white haired mother who despite appearences of angelic innocence could klepto for the national team. We took her to Tesco-Lotus only once… Clearly my spoons have migrated south for a better life. What, pray tell, is the name of the establishment that so effectively uses them?

Based on the writing on the back wall, I’m guessing that it’s Kway Teow Rua, a restarant on the east side of Sukhumwit a little south of Tesco Lotus.

Am I warm??


2012-03-30 | Spike says

I suspect the writing on the back wall provides a clue? Somewhere in Central World; no idea where because I am always completely lost within five minutes of entering the place.


2012-03-30 | Pete says

Some bastard stole the ‘u’ out of restaurant !!!


2012-03-30 | Spike says

No.


2012-03-30 | Pete says

I wasn’t warm then. They must have a franchise …..


2012-03-30 | Spike says

Eleven comments on a teapot; none on some photos of pretty girls… Clearly I cater to a very specific demographic.


2012-03-30 | Spanky says

You cater to the UK audience. I was intimidated by the models. They scare me. Being an American we don’t do teapots over here. Now give us a 1.8L single serving soda bottle and we would be all over it.


2012-03-30 | Pete says

You title the entry “Yellow kettle” and now you’re calling it a teapot?


2012-03-30 | Spike says

It’s to keep genuinej on his toes.


2012-03-30 | Grant says

No it’s not, it’s because you’ve been badly twatted, you’re still feeling a bit rattled, and you made a mistake. It’s a kettle. Your ‘specific demographic’ clearly recognises that while pretty girls in Asia are a dime a dozen, a fine kettle, that vital first instrument in making a cup of tea, is worthy of some comment!


2012-03-30 | genuinej says

I suppose it’s too late to suggest pots calling kettles black? Thought so. Let’s get back to basics. i.e. BIRA birds and your lovely pussies. (btw Grant, the Empire collapsed years ago.)


2012-03-31 | Spanky says

Read up and blame Spike. As an American I can’t tell one from the other. :)


2012-03-31 | Grant says

The Empire may have collapsed for you, old chap, but out here on the final frontier where still can be heard the woofle of the indigenous Velocette and the roar of the hunting Morgan, where tiffin is still taken and a chap is judged a gentleman by his honour and his manners the lights of the Empire shall never dim, the long languid summer evenings, the thwack of willow on leather, and the totally certain knowledge that if fog descends in the Channel the Continent will be cut off from civilisation. If you want to live in a post-empiric world fill your boots, mate! My returning emissaries tell me it’s for the most part, crap…


2012-03-31 | Spike says

It’s a fair cop. Although I am not sure about being “badly twatted”.


2012-03-31 | Grant says

Well Spike, as I see it, based on your own description, you had been badly dealt to, most unfairly, by a perfectly ghastly horrible little bully of a twat and I was simply trying to cut out the dozen (bakers) words between badly and twat for economy. Every time you use a word or five around here you get genuinej shooting out of his cuckoo clock waving his pedant’s stick and talking traitorous nonsense about the glorious Empire. God Bless The King!


2012-03-31 | genuinej says

Sorry Grant. I’d love to join you in cloud cuckoo land, but we ain’t got a King no more and fog would no longer protect us from those continental Johnnies as we do have a channel tunnel.Love your sentence construction though.

cool chandelier!


2012-03-31 | Grant says

Jerry, absolutely right, totally cool, kitchen-ware brilliance! Magic Spike photo… genuinej, have you ever read Michael Palin’s “Ripping Yarns”? Spike, how’s the thyroid coming along?


2012-04-01 | Spike says

Dying.


2012-04-01 | Grant says

So pleased to hear that, and I think the April Fool’s Day horsey avatars are really neat! Thank you so very much for caring, you are a prince among men.


2012-04-01 | Wally says

What avatars!, they have alldisappeared from my screen - just a white box with a red cross in the top left corner for all bloggers?


2012-04-01 | Pete says

All the avatars on my screen read ‘One trick pony’ in very faint writing. I’m just wondering though, is this the most replies to one post which was a single photo. Some kind of record set here I think!


2012-04-01 | Spike says

It’s an April 1st “joke” inserted into my Wordpress theme by an unknown wanker.


2012-04-01 | Grant says

Shame! We thought you cared…


2012-04-02 | Pete says

Wasn’t your current WordPress theme designed as a bespoke application by “TheSon”? Just a thought …..


2012-04-02 | Spike says

It is based on the Mystique theme, tweaked by The Son. The Mystique theme was hacked for everyone yesterday.


2012-04-02 | Spike says

Moi?

[…] the guy I stalk online Spike at Pattaya Days posted a picture of a yellow tea kettle.  Spike had the audacity to question why I would comment on his tea kettle image versus his images […]
