Plodder, give me a shout when you get back bud, am sure we can hit the horseshoe again, but with better weather this time! Enjoy you work related holiday dude, and don't forget our postcard!!!
Just got back. Need a week off to recover from the low flying Mao Tai and the comedy food. I still can't work out what they do with the proper meat 'cos all we had was brains, balls, ears, lungs, etc., etc.
they feed the proper meat to themselves ......... an give "honoured" guests the "best" parts
chineese humour i think ......... keep the best for themselves an then tell others that we honour you so much we give you the rubbish bits that we an no one else would eat
they must be laughing their liikle yellow heads off when they see people getting stuck into the rubbish

Yeah but everyine is eating the same stuff and you aint got to take it (lazy susan).
The real funny bit is everyone proposing toasts to eachother with the Mao Tai (53% vol) and saying "Gambay" (Dunno how to spell it so that's how it sounds), so you both have to neck it and show eachother the bottom of the cup . It's like a little battle between the Chinese hosts and ourselves to see who can drink who under the table.
The scary bit it was the drivers getting overenthusiastic
know what you mean m8 ......... used to be like that in russia as well with the "god knows" what percentage proof vodka ........ plus they used to have a fall guy that never did any negotitating that or the next day ....... his job was just to get us all drunk
One of my mates brought me back a bottle of Columbus 151 from a holiday in the Dominican Republic I think it was - white rum, 75.5 % alcohol by volume. Christ I got pissed for several nights on the row
