My name isn't catchy or short enough to try the act.

Sound like Gaso ignored TOD's sage advice about Bali.

TOD's feelings are officially hurt.

TOD also agrees with GN on the third person thing.

Gaso/I go to Bali nek year for 50th Birthday.

Re Bali The Other Dean I put forward my case and was told.

No.

As it turned out I think it was a blessing in disguise as the day we flew out Tiger cancelled flights in and out. Having flown to Radelaide for the Final with them and had no dramas I suspect I would have flown with them.

Now that would be a Grumpy story.

Anywho loving Phuket.

Michelle,who's been touted by the internet for a 2020 presidential run

High praise indeed.

High praise indeed.

Having a preordained candidate would be misguided IMO.

After this last clusterf*** they should be looking at putting forward two incredibly strong candidates through a reformed nomination process.

If Michelle Obama fits this then fine. If it's Hillary mkii then they'll open themselves up to lose again.

I do however think Michelle Obama would hold broader appeal than Hillary.

Yeh near Melbourne. ..well Melbourne is a suburb of Katamatite South.

Ahhhhhhh Collingwood?

[Gasometer]

I really should leave the hat with one of the trinket sellers on the beach.

My first visit to Patong I walked into a market and found a pair of sandals I liked. Heres the conversation (using dollars).
How much?
Twenty dollars.
OK.
No No No - not 20.
But you said 20.
(her voice dropped)
I say 20, you say no - 10. I say 18. You say 15 - I sell to you for 17.
But 20 is fine I said pulling out the cash.
No No No.
OK - lets start again. How much.
(Back to her normal voice)
20.

The haggling can be very entertaining.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Last trip to Bali I was looking for watches. Usually buy 10 and give them away when I get home. Walking past a market stall and the usual spruiker was out front.

You want watches?
No thanks.
Good watches.
No.
All watches $2.50
OK.

In I go and select 10 watches and pull out $25. He looks at the watches.

$40
Hang on - 10 watches at $2.50 is $25.

He separates 3.

These ones Rolex.
Fake Rolex like the fake Diesel, fake Gucci, fake every other one.
But Rolex more.
Why?
Rolex cost more.
They aren't Rolex. They are fake like the others are fake.
But Rolex.

In the end I laughed so much I just gave him the money. He just couldn't work out how I couldn't understand Rolex cost more.

Yeh it sure is a trip haggling.

Started at 3000 baht first visit for brand nothing glasses, bag and something else.

I said nah and walked off.

Comes back with 30cm calculator with 1800 on it.

Deal.

The locals are fine to work with...the ex-pat British blokes are a different kettle of fish wanting to sell time share. Anyone had any dealings with this in Asia?

Yeah - they pulled up on a motor bike and gave me a scratchy. I won some huge prize - he put on an act like you could not believe. I haven't had a winner this big before! OMG! This is massive! Do you know what you have won? I started laughing. I said drop my prize into my hotel and then I will make an appointment to see your time share pitch. Funny, never saw him again.
