Quiet Monday

Post by tamada » September 10, 2024, 7:01 am

Yesterday was one of those frequently inexplicable "quiet" days around the town. The morning ring road traffic was way less than the usual and the school run was done well before 8 am. Even then, the usual 30- minute "surges" never came to much. I was off the roads most of the day with another unchallenging afternoon school run but needed something from Big C around 5 pm. Again, no tailback at the lights, no queues at the half-dozen check outs and the covered parking was about 20% full at most. Unusual IMHO. I noticed a high number of yellow polo shirts being worn so maybe something to do with the palace people? A pre- Mooncake Festival hiatus?

I've noticed a few days during the week where it seems to me that half the usual commuters are taking a day off, this was just another one I guess.

Does this profound subject really deserve its own thread? I would suggest it belongs with one of the threads created by Doodoo, such as 'You gotta be joking'.

Hope this helps.

By the way, it did not rain in Khon Kaen yesterday for the first time in a while. I know, I know, I should start my own thread or place it in one of Doodoo's, rather than horning in on yours.

Lets face it, It's all got a bit boring.
Maybe we need some new blood, same ole, same ole, Or, encourage some of the old boys back, 747man, Saint, Parrot, Earnest, KP, etc, even Trolls can be entertaining.

Hope this removes the spanner from the works.

So what's stopping you? Nothing but a few short strokes on the old keyboard. If you KNOW so well then lets hear it. The more the merrier

WRT to LYM, maybe already "a few short strokes" on something goin' on.

Nah mate, you're doin just fine so just keep on strokin'.

In retrospect, that's a it harsh and will only draw the ire of the forum policeman.

We haven't been regaled recently about the travails of the... hold on till I have a quick scroll back. Yes, here it is, the travails of the Toronto Argonauts. You can do it here too.

Was it a metric spanner by any chance? I just noticed my 13 mm has gone AWOL.

Can someone please make an urgent call to statto - we need the EPL soccer thread up, and in full flight, again.

That'll bring back Jumbo, and all his admirers. 👍

You're very feisty today, doodoo. What's gotten into you? Have you been spending the day at the beer garden?

No, I will not be acquiescing to your demand as I seriously doubt you want to hear my thoughts.

Hope this helps.

Quiet?
The M&F of a storm just blew though from the west, From Big City direction. Dumped at least 75mm and still giving it . Next week Bangkok will blame everyone apart from the wasted Billions in the back pockets..

Suffice to say traffic in and around town is a lot quieter for what ever reason.. im sure Tam was only highlighting thus

Tiz true at the mo UDMAP is a tad , lets say lacking "something" .. its been as boring as all bollocks for ages and even i cant be arsed posting even tho Scunny are toppa the league .. (JACK)..times are changing and fora as such will become less n less popular as we al die off ..

No way i can see many of our kids wasting time on the UM fora genre as we have ..far more important things to do like.. PLAY GAME, or in the case of London join a gang n stab people.

Just sayin
