Is there a German word for the sadness you feel when eating the last bite of a tasty burger?
How about for the regret and shame when you realise you ate so much that even Elvis would be like "steady on son"?

Do these idiots not realise that this is helping nobody?
I've got a craving for massaman, so I've searched Line Man. Nope. Nada. Probably too early in the day for it. They tell me nothing found, which is OK, but then it gets dumb

Windows told me I needed to go into the bios and enable a setting before I could upgrade to Windows 11. It told me this when the Windows 11 free upgrades first came out years ago.
I just went in and enabled that setting today.
Please clap.

rant: Why the hell is there not a food delivery service left in Thailand that lets me browse menus on my full sized PC? I HATE trying to read the @#$%ing menus on the phone. I miss food panda!
Sort of a rhetorical question, I know they gather SO MUCH data about mobile users via the app. Still, 🖕🤬🖕

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

The head dude of our moo bahn often puts traffic notices in the Line group, saying they're trialling such and such on Road X, closing Road Y for roadworks, etc. These notices NEVER HAVE A MAP. Does my head in. Apparently they're turning a road into motorbike parking, near a market, but google is 🤷

FFS, some advance notice would be nice teacher.
Miss 8 has exactly enough uniforms for the week - sports monday, normal tue + wed, red cross thur, thai clothes fri. If a day changes, we have to hand wash a uniform to cover the gap.
Teacher sent a message at 6pm saying "normal uniform tomorrow" 🤬

That was surprising.
Wife took little man to get his 18 month vaccinations. Normally his mum takes him, but she's moved out, so it was grandma today.
They cost money! Only 150 baht, but we'd assumed they'd be free at the government hospital.
Wtf Thailand??

So, apparently, some of the vendors at a local market we go to regularly (we go to a lot of markets) thought I was a big old butch dyke 😂
I didn't go yesterday, wife went by herself. They asked where I was, "home with the grumpy baby". Then they asked if I was a boy or a girl!
Must be the moobs 😱

Alfie Yuzu Dark Chocolate Flavour. Would not recommend. Waxiest "chocolate" ever, and bugger all Yuzu flavour.
I was sad about this one. I don't mind the normal Alfie range - it's no fine belgian chocolate, but for 10 baht it's usually cheap and cheerful. This one was not cheerful.

Wife saw someone making patongo on YouTube. Went "that looks easy", so she raced out the back. It wasn't even a "here's how to make patongo" recipe. Just someone crackin an egg in some flour then frying the dough a bit later.
This is FUCKING DELICIOUS. It's very much NOT patongo, but damn it's good!

Haha, the Thai Meteorological Department has a No Gifts Policy. Guess I can't bribe my way to it being less stinking hot in April 😆
Maybe I'm too honest, but how could you bribe the weather dept for personal gain? Forecast rain and sell umbrellas maybe??

Is it just me, or did Proper Cold Season start a bit earlier this year? I seem to recall it not being Jeans Weather for the school run until early December last year.
Mind you, now that I think about it, we've only had the scooter for a year... maybe I wasn't used to it yet.
It was COLD this morn!
