After a fairly torrid time with chemicals, it might have been wise to stay away from any sort of activity which I could potentially fuck up; but the vacuum cleaner went on the blink and in order to attempt to fix it, I needed a new type of screwdriver; the screws in the cleaner presumably being specifically designed to deter boneheads like me.
And so it was I found myself in the queue at Home Pro this morning, new screwdriver in hand, coincidentally standing behind a man who was purchasing a brand new vacuum cleaner. I was pondering the fact that there was a fair chance I would be back tomorrow to buy exactly the same, once my repair attempt had resulted in an electrical fire of impressive proportions; when he spoke to me.
I enjoy Pattaya Days.
Err, thanks.
Like the photos especially
Err, thanks.
You look younger, and with a much better physique than I imagined; you must work out a lot.*
Err, thanks.
And so it went on, with the vacuum cleaner purchaser saying nice stuff about this site, while I tried desperately to remember where we had met. I always forget a name, but rarely forget a face; but this time I could recall nothing.
Turns out we had never met, but he knew who I was through another route which I will not divulge otherwise I will find myself mobbed by fans everywhere I go (Ed: In your dreams sunshine).
Anyway, it was really good to meet someone who actually reads Pattaya Days, even better to meet someone who actually enjoys what they read, even better that he was a nice chap who clearly had excellent taste (because he reads this blog. Q.E.D.). Really perked me up and I went straight home and broke a lug on the cleaner, lost a screw and snapped what looked like an important wire. But it worked after I had finished so well done me.
*He didn’t say that.

2012-07-17| Spanky saysWell it is Pattaya. He may have found you mildly attractive and could have potentially commented on your manly build. There is a white guy who roams around in full drag. Maybe he just didn’t feel like putting everything on to go and buy a vacuum cleaner that morning.
2012-07-17| Spike saysCheck the asterisk. You may not have met any, but Pattaya has plenty of normal people leaving normal lives.
2012-07-17| Spanky saysYes, I saw it. I know more than a few who lead those lives and I’ll be joining the ranks in a year or so. I figured I spice it up and make absurd assumptions instead of some bloke out to buy a vacuum cleaner.
2012-07-17| Bob saysYou’re lucky. Most readers I met wanted to punch me.
2012-07-18| Kwan saysLOL….nice one.
2012-07-18| Grant says’normal people “leaving” normal lives’?? Damn right, and Spanky’s on his way… Woo Hoo!!
