Argus Tuft!

No international commercial passenger flights will operate yet, because
--> No CIQ (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine) facilities, which are required for international operations due to damage at passenger terminal.

Don't expect international connectivity to Mandalay to resume any time soon.

The first commercial DOMESTIC passenger flights successfully operated in and out of #Mandalay Airport (MDL/VYMD) on Friday 4th April, originating out of Yangon.

The domestic passenger flights reportedly are operating out of temporary space in the adjacent Cargo terminal

(pork meat curry)

Yup - One of my fave ways of having pork here! That photo could have been one from my photo roll of lunches here in Myanmar 🥰

Earlier today in the staff canteen...

Fark YOZZO! I can barely make 2-3 calls in a day, and that's when my social calendar is busy!

I for one welcome our new AI Toilet Overlords

that looks amazingly good and rather healthy too

With apologies to 'F.C.Y.' who's pictures I just pulled off the interwebs..
As a former Sandgroper, awake & working at 2am, and having missed dinner - I want a f**king Quokka hotdog right now

Try it the other way next time? - looks like the folding in half and closing the two sides together might keep the lot intact 🤔🙏
Will try it myself when I am back across the border next - looks like I'll have a trip to Bangkok in the coming 2 weeks, bring on the 7-11 experiments!

All my years of doing one of the following two options:

- forking the pasta side over to the sauce side and having it splash over the edge
- spooning the sauce over to the pasta side and not getting all of the sauce

Now I see this 😂

I remember a golfing buddy talking about this recently, so I asked him

Not quite blocking the driver's view of the road, but I did like these ones I took a ride in. 1st 2 pics in Bangkok, last 2 pics in Hong Kong. 😁

Agreed. And never in a million years would I follow an account called hogan dot swifties dot social.

that... is hilarious

😂 brilliant

post-scallop poking proof right here

Me too. Has been one of my fave dishes for many years
I brought an Indian recipe book with some photos to the pearl farm a while back, on a small island. I asked the Burmese cook to try and make the vegetable malai kofta, and she absolutely nailed it. Very similar look to these pics.

Rapid unscheduled disassembly, apparently

or the ones hidden behind 😂

Keen eyes Daryl - but I wasn't counting the 2nd last bottle which looks like Angostura Bitters 😉

Happy New Year Andrew. Hope you and your family are all well, best for 2025!

great chat with Kim & Kelley who were both at &-42 after the show, to my surprise at the bar, thanks to David & Joe for joining for a drink at Mobius that night, after saying goodnight to Charles when he headed off to bed (from memory they had to head back to the US the next day - LONG TRIP)

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia - 7th April 2007
My 1st time to see @pixiesofficial.bsky.social live, was delighted to meet #Pixies at T-42 waterfront bar after the gig (spotted Charles 1st)- I shouted a drink as thanks, but always regretted not asking for a photo. My highlight was GOUGE AWAY!

Yay! Mondegreens!

It does! But I hadn't seen any news on Nok Air going in to space, so all good 😁
