Up to the minute info about my Thai flushing experience

Good luck, Robin!
Well everyone… welcome to my inaugural blog, brought to you from thailand in recognition of the public interest shown in my alternative christmas. And firstly of course thanks to dan for setting this up and giving me the opportunity to share what promises to be a truly intimate experience with you. I should also say that the content which follows over the next week may not be for the faint hearted…
First things and i have landed in bangkok after a lengthy journey hopping round the middle east. took me somewhat by suprise actually, a lesson learned – study the itinerary and pay the extra for a direct flight in future. bharain was dull and muscat no better given i didn’t even get off the plane. Interesting to look around and see my fellow travellers tho.. a few tourists but mainly thai/indian workers heading home from jobs in the gulf for the holidays.. the global workforce personified.
anyway, a couple of hours sleep were had which exceeded my expectations so i am not feeling bad. have just had some food (packing it in while i can) and shortly will be jumping on the overnight train from bangkok down to surrathani which should be a lot of fun. tomorrow morning and i will celebrate christmas by getting on the ferry over to samui, it’s going to be glorious.
christmas eve and bangkok is suprisingly quiet.. it is a holiday which is a bit odd for a buddhist country, so less traffic than usual but all the same smog – as soon as the plane came overheard the horizons narrowed immediately. also 30 degrees of course but not too sweaty.
so this is the beginning. if the truth be told i am slightly concerned about my ability to cope without food for 7 whole long days. everytime i think about it i get ravenous and have started caning the thai food. not ideal preparation maybe but given the last few weeks wining and dining, it’s a little too late to get overly concerned about that. by the time i write again.. i will have started! wish me luck please and merry christmas all

Let the anal adventures begin! I said to Alice yesterday, “Uncle Robin has gone to a place called Thailand to have coffee put in his bottom to make him feel better”. It took her a while to digest this information but now she’s telling everybody about it. The postman, aged relatives, random passers-by in the street. Your colon will soon be famous Robin.

Merry Christmas, Robin! Good Luck. Good idea, Joel, I’ll be telling my little girl tomorrow – hours of fun. She asked me, “where’s Robin gone to ?” this morning, but I wasn’t quick enough to see the amusement value in beginning the explanation of alternative therapies early.
Today we’ve had salmon, turkey, roast veg of all varieties, cranberry and port sauce, stir-fried sprouts with chestnuts, garlic and bacon (a new invention of mine), trifle, mince pies, a drop or two of wine and champagne. YUM! As you’re a constant rolemodel for me, Robin, I’m off upstairs with my cafetiere and the funnel. Auf Wiedersehen!
Robin, I’m thinking of you…

Felizes Noel Senor Robin!!
well, after spending hours straining my brain trying to work out how to ‘blog’ you, i had give up and go and eat lobster, beef wellington, cheesecake..lots of very un-christmassy food but the boom-ting none the less!
it seems like we’re all bragging to you about our grub, which we are, but lets face it, you’re the one on a tropical beach. i think you’re the winner. so more power to you Robin- keep up the fasting and body cleansing! keep us posted, and have a paddle in the sea for me, i’ll have a mince pie for you.

In homage to the ‘Euro-vision song contest’ this is the ‘Webb Jury’ calling. Happy to hear you have arrived safely although I suspect your ass had tried to scupper your plans by meddling with your itinery and trying to stop you from getting to your destination. I also pleased to have just eaten ‘another’ festive ham sandwich when I read your diary entry….green slime…….thanks. Why do they use coffee – was this procedure invented by a columbian drug smuggler? As opposed to you we have had a feasting few days, but as you know most of the additional fat goes straight to my lips, which helps disguise my overindulgence. Fortunately Finlay’s vocab wont yet stretch to ‘colonic irrigation’ so but perhaps by the time you next see him you can draw him a picture to help explain. Is there a manual? Otherwise, enjoy the sun and sea. We are still not thinking of you. Keep us posted. Lots of love. Tim et al x
Robin,
By the time you read this it will all be over. I bet you never want to see one of those ‘chompers’ every again – by the end I was retching on those bastards. I recommend the the miso soup as the fast breaker it was amazing! Be careful with alcohol I had a couple of glasses of wine a couple of days after and felt like i had drunk a bottle of Mekong whisky. Sounds like you’ve had a good time – well done, were looking forward to seeing the whites of your eyes xx
