My bollocks are on the mend, thanks for the e-mails

Not much to update on really apart from New Years Eve. We ended up at a hotel complex where they were laying on a pool-side party for about a tenner each so we spent the evening getting nicely hammered, eating an Indian-style and dodging the flaming debris which fell from the midnight fireworks let off, ooooh, about 30ft above the crowd.

The MC was very entertaining – just picture the preacher from ‘Coming to America’

strutting about and berating the crowd for not enjoying themselves to an appropriate level on New Years Eve (“NOBODY is dancing, NOBODY is jumping in the pool – oh my God, Jesus Christ“).

The band put on a good show, the highlight being a performance of ‘Living Next Door to Alice’ with the backing singers shouting out “WHO THE FUCK IS ALICE!” to the quiet middle-class family crowd clearly oblivious to the meaning of what they were saying. We joined in with enthusiasm of course.

So that was New Years Eve. We’re off to Bangkok on the 15th January and I have to say I’m a little bit excited not least because I have treated myself to one of these little beauties for my birthday and it’s winging it’s way from the US to Thailand as we speak:

Will be nice to do a bit of tippy-tappy for the blog when I’ve got a bored half hour somewhere rather than having to think of something to say on the spur of the moment in an internet cafe. You lucky old things…

Anyway, it’s the big one tomorrow and the last day of my twenties today, can hardly believe it, where does it all go, etc etc?
