Bottoms Up
I rather think it a wonderful past-time, especially in the local when they have gone to all that trouble to get themselves noticed above all others, it amuses me.
Do you fish for compliments?
No... I don't do much fishing of any type... and I prefer unsolicited compliments, myself.
Do you prefer fish, poultry or red meat?
I try to eat sensibly, fish, poultry and white meat being a regular part of my diet.
However, I do enjoy a fortnightly T Bone, Sirloin or Fillet.
You have a great deal of sex appeal, is that a benefit to you?
hmmm... thank you for saying that, but I find it more of a hindrance than a help.
Do you think it's possible for men and women to be platonic friends?
Yes, when they are in bed.
Do you like sitting on a fence?
Not if it's a picket fence or barbed wire, thanks for asking.
Do you live in an apartment or house?
I live in a house in the UK, but I have an apartment in Bangkok.
Friendship should be taken as it comes, don't you think?
Yes, very probably. It's one of life's true treasures.
How often are you in Bangkok?
It depends, I usually get away twice a year, however this last year I only managed one trip due to work commitments, that was for a couple of months though so it wasn't too bad a let down.
How often do you get to the UK
Well, I just returned from London in Dec... and I was there the year previous (Christmas in Edinburgh), but now my daughter has moved back to Canada, I fear it will be less frequent. Well, I don't fear.. it's just a phrase, don't you know.
Have you been to HongKong?
Yes I like Hong Kong, especially the harbour, it is teaming with life and colour, oh must not forget to mention the floating restaurant.
Have you ever swum in the South China Sea?
No, not in this lifetime....
I, too, have eaten on the floating restaurant. What did you have?
We had one of those tables of just about everything you could imagine, but never really knew what all of it was. You know the table rotates and the food is kept warm by the oil lights. Mainly fish and duck dishes with every imaginable trimming. Finished off with battered bananas in syrup,, delicious.
They know how to serve a meal there don't you think?
Absolutely, having lived there for 17 yrs I know just how amazing the food can be; every week we went to a restaurant that specialised in roast goose - my sons still miss the food so much!
Don't you find Chinese food outside China really disappointing?
I don't think it compares.
Yes, I do find it disappointing... however...
Don't you find Szchehuan amazing??
I find a great many things amazing in life Mame, but I am not familiar with Szchehuan.
Are you willing to enlighten me?
Spicy Asian... using chilis... one of my faves is Orange Peel Beef - absolutely to DIE for...it sends me into ecstatic raptures...
What is a favourite dish of yours?
I will find you some Szchehuan
If I am honest, and this may surprise you;-
Braising steak with home made dumplings and lots of pickled cabbage.
Yours?
I prefer ethnic food of all varieties... I don't eat innards, though.
Do you think the glacier ice caps are melting rather quickly?
