OK, that’s enough from me. Despite a concerted effort to kill me through sanook maak I’m going to get some sleep. Gorn.

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Ah! So you took the DC contact. 9/3 or 3/1 x 3?

@jeffsonstein Not as important as knowing where to get good tub waan.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to jeffsonstein

@jonrussell Well @ApostrophePong can help you find good tub waan in BKK. Though he was the tub waan that Wit makes here in SYD is better.

via TweetDeck in reply to jonrussell

I remember! The two guys and the Beer Chang promo gir found a mid-value Pokémon in the bar so we started talking. https://t.co/RbBXsmGihW

@jeffsonstein @wibbly Look just effing well vote as your heart tells you do I have to do everything.

via TweetDeck in reply to jeffsonstein

@jonrussell Hah! That was a great night, and @ApostrophePong was so drunk I had to deal with the taximeter to get back to the hotel.

via TweetDeck in reply to jonrussell

@jonrussell @ApostrophePong If I need to explain tub waan then we can’t be friends.

via TweetDeck in reply to jonrussell

@KrazyKarl910 So let’s agree that we stop this conversation now, yeah?

via TweetDeck in reply to KrazyKarl910

@KrazyKarl910 I’m assuming that in this instance DP doesn’t mean “double penetration”?

via TweetDeck in reply to KrazyKarl910

@KrazyKarl910 Yeah, they like tweets going back years in the hope that you’ll click through

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to KrazyKarl910

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Heh. I think it’s funny that the best tub waan is in Sydney. But these boys agreed. Wit is a good chef.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell We’d basically had a bonding experience over som tum and tub waan stories.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell I asked them whether it as good as Wit at C and they said yes but different… Tho it’s Oxford St customers.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Heh. Well these two young guys are from Chiang Rai and Isan and say this new restaurant is very good…

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ivovic Much appreciated then. :)

via Tweetbot for iΟS

@ivovic Ah. I haven’t seen the last N Bond films for some relatively high value of N.

via Tweetbot for iΟS

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Once we’d agreed that the C was and Mr B’s was for backpackers it was a meeting of minds.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Yeah I was being interrogated about how well I knew Silom. I passed. Sanook maak next Thursday apparently.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ApostrophePong

@ivovic I have no idea who that is.

via Tweetbot for iΟS

@JonoH I have no idea and these people basically pwn me so I do what they say.

There’s a lot happening in this tweet but the problem with the machine is that it needs separate cold vodka storage. https://t.co/k7xJOOx8BO

@twiddlekins That’s fine. We all face uncertain death.

@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Two students just told me about a new restaurant on Oxford St called Silom Soi Song and I feel dirty.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to druey

There’s “Chang Classic” now? WTF? The whole point of Chang is that it’s knock-off Heineken.

@jonrussell Having been with @ApostrophePong for a decade, the local Thaitown pub for Thai locals is kinda home.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to jonrussell

Well this is a complicated question. https://t.co/kXxkYUSLix

via Tweetbot for iΟS

@jonrussell No no, I’m in Thaitown in Sydney. This is the local pub. There’s another pub in Thaitown, but that one is for backpackers.

@munin Plus being vastly smaller than the NSA, and ASD has to work smarter and get ’em young. ;)

That said, I still find it amusing that a classified intelligence organisation does school work experience. @Steve_Lockstep @TFeakin_ASPI

@darkhorse166 I keep finding that we are on the same page about so many things. I was originally going to tweet “A good start”.

via TweetDeck in reply to darkhorse166

@christopherneal @jturner_ibrs @GregDAustin I thought of that. I guess it’s whether you concentrate solely on critical stuff or drill down.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to christopherneal

@christopherneal @jturner_ibrs @GregDAustin My pleasure. It’s interesting watching these proposals evolve.

via TweetDeck in reply to christopherneal

@jturner_ibrs I assume you saw my finished column on @GregDAustin’s discussion paper?

via TweetDeck in reply to jturner_ibrs

@munin Pretty much. We’ve only sent regulars to Afghanistan so far, I think. I might check with Defence media relations, now that you ask.

via TweetDeck in reply to munin

@ddowza @MadScotty @zdnetaustralia I suspect you’re right. Bu@jturner_ibrsrs is the full bottle on this stuff.

via TweetDeck in reply to ddowza

@munin Yep. I know the usual Reserves deal is X weekends plus 2 weeks training per year. They’re well regarded.

via TweetDeck in reply to munin

@munin So paid for the time doing training etc, yes, and it’s tax-free.

via TweetDeck in reply to munin

@munin Aust has a strong tradition of community volunteering, but the suggestion is something like Defence Reserves. https://t.co/bziCf6j1iK

via TweetDeck

@munin Anyway @jturner_ibrs was the one suggesting press gangs, and even that fascist has moderated his views.

via TweetDeck in reply to munin

There is indeed a shortage of skilled people, @ddowza @zdnetaustralia. Hey @jturner_ibrs have you got the current figures handy?

via TweetDeck in reply to ddowza

@munin I’m sure there’s an element of flattery in there. But the discussion paper is an interesting read. Also, “discussion paper”.
