Do you get about much when you are in Bali?

We used to spend time in the north and in eastern Bali but I had a little problem with the Indonesian government in the 1990's and was told I was banned after I enforced a copyright infringement against an organisation that ripped off a website I created. It was sponsored by the Indo government.

I did eventually return to Indonesia but my wife was still annoyed and she won't go back. She is more grumpy than me most of the time.

Mainly at me I admit.

Nah these days we rarely venture to far from kuta, its actually really quiet at kuta now, Seminyak canguu and legion are a a lot busier now. Although legion rd is still busy later in the evening but we are well and truly back in by then.

We always stay at Padma Legian - best resort I have ever stayed at anywhere. Great location.

Horace do you remember watching the old steam locomotives from the school yard?

I recall as kids when we would hitch a ride in the guard's van of the diesels and the driver would slow down for us to jump off so we could swim at Curdies. We had to walk back into town along the railway tracks though.

Have you never bought a printer?

Not in a long time,

What is it with campaigners in waiting rooms with bluetooth speakers??

And stinking of body odour!

Since when has it become mandatory for the people who design packaging for kids' toys to be sadistic psychopaths?

Button battery packing laws influence?

Just use your teeth. If they break off they can always be fixed. Much quicker than searching for the scissors or a stanley knif that isn't blunt.

If only I was as pretty as her.

For about 15 years ago I would say. Shop lifting meant that toys had to be strapped in with 200 ties and cables. As Junior Gaso is approaching 20 years old I have no idea.

Corriander. It grows like a weed so I probably should not bother with buying bunches from shops but at the moment we've emptied and scrubbed out the pots (parsley too) except for the Vietnamese mint. As a result I bought a bunch of Corriander for a curry I made last night, It is totally over-priced and has almost no flavour.

How can Corriander not have any flavour?

How can it be sold for $3.99 a bunch?

What the hell is going on?

Should call the police as you're getting robbed in broad daylight.

My local grocer has 3 bunches for $2.

Coriander sucks anyways

I will confess that I didn't buy the 3.99 bunch from Woolworths as it was wilted a d over priced. I bought a bunch from the veggie market but it still had no flavour.

If I post my address can you send me a bunch from your grocer?

Grow your own.

And plant it in the ground. Then you can let some of the plants seed and start the process of self seeding. Do it in every yard you ever live in, you'll be thinking of the children.
