First Thing In The Morning Mick And Mass Called Round,

for a few cups of tea and a chat, also we were trying to think of somewhere we could watch the heavy weight fight between British boxer David Hayes and Nikolay Valuev, despite being 9in shorter and almost 7st (44.45 kilos) lighter than his ogre-sized opponent, the Brit was confidante that he would win, if you think the Brit is a bit small remember he is 6ft 3" tall! (1.905 meters), Mick and Mass then went shopping and we made our way to Friendship to buy some fish and chips for today's get together, after we returned home Jay and Precil called in,

so it was soon time to start cooking,

Filipino seafood soup was soon on the go,

whilst Diana was deep frying the fish and chips,

Mark called in with a delicious roast chicken and made a prediction about the fight, a beer was on it, if it went for 12 rounds the Brit would win on points, Mick said if it went for 12 rounds he would buy a case! well if you do not know the result and want to click here,

Jay looking pensive,

Big Jim, happy as ever brought, along some home made coleslaw with fresh pineapple,

Mick and Mass, they had spent some time driving around Pattaya to find some where showing the fight, eventually they found a bar in Naklua, starting at 4.30 in the morning, I decided to skip that one,

Big Jim expertly carves Mark's chicken,

chips, fish and coleslaw,

then Joe on a whistle stop tour from Bangkok called in,

around 11 or so the last of our guests left for home, so it was a top up of vodka soda, feet up and watch TV, sadly this is the last of the series we have out here, but the good news is that series 5 and 6 are waiting for me in the UK, I must admit the more I watch the better I like it, in truth when I first watched the first one I was not so keen, even though I had seen one of the stars Dennis Waterman and his then wife Rula Lenska (formally Countess Roza-Marie Leopoldyna Lubienska) live on stage in the 70's, so we watched the first 3 episodes and then it was time for bed.
