…now you don’t.
My life now has a purpose.
Everytime I see a book by Glenn Beck/Dick Cheney/Carl Rove/George W Bush et al, I surreptiously move its neighbour (subject to the condition that said neighbour isn’t a best seller and that the author is not one of the above) and simply BURY it.
I walk with my head held high…..

>Probably not…..

Thailand is one of the few places I regularly visit for which I don’t have a prepaid SIM card for the iPhone.
The United States is the other, but as far as I can work out, they don’t even EXIST there.
(Talk about world technology leaders….)
So I popped into the very flash True mobile phone outfit in the Paragon Centre.
The sweet young thing at the counter had NO CLUE what I was talking about, but a Thai guy jumped in to help, translated my question and translated her answer which was that I should go to a 7eleven store, buy a card and call up customer service to have them activate the data package.
“Will they understand me?” I asked.
“Probably not” he said.
Stuffed again……

>The Annabatterie Café syndrome

This the White Café at the end of Soi Thonglor off Sukhumvit 55 in Bangkok.
Big spread in the “Nation” this morning so we rocked on over this evening.
Median age clicks 2 points to the right. That’s the Annabatterie Café Syndrome.
Who cares?
Great food  (authentic Thai on one side of the menu – stuck to that, Thai Fusion on the other), open kitchen, clued up staff, great music (Snic Youth, Pulp, Supergrass, Moldy Peaches, Asteroids Galaxy Tour)
Everyone local apart from us, which is ALWAYS a good sign.
What more could you want?

…we’ve arrived in Bangkok.
A mere 18 hours late.
Not that I’m complaining, of course…..

He’s also astoundingly frank in acknowledging the shortcomings of himself and his peers

….I said.

“This article in Fortune magazine says they’re as cheap as chips. Save flying halfway around the world in winter”

“Not a bad idea” says Ms jb “but FLORIDA?”

She’s of course.

Back to the drawing board…..
