Respite from the heat

Well in case anyone missed my blogging I'm back in the rainswept Bangkadia.
I've recently had a few weeks break in Maya on the other side of this planet.
The people of Maya are much friendlier than the people of Bangkadia.

"Let them eat chicken"

Seems President Sam is trying to emulate Louis XVI's Queen of France Marie Antoinette's famous remark when she told the poor Parisians of Earth in the 18th century to eat cake.The price of the Bangkadians's favourite food pork has shot up during the last few months and the President's only advice is to eat chicken as it's a lot cheaper.
Is his head about to be put on the chopping board ? ;
"off with his head"could be the Bangkodians reply to his recent comment.He should leave his comments in the kitchen.

Newspapers "alive and kicking!"

Newspapers are not dead and buried in some lost time capsule.They are well and truely 'Alive and kicking'.The Bangkadians fed up with ruining their eyesight with reading the news from a monitor have brought back the newpaper.
Last night at a huge star studded party a new free newspaper was launched to a fanfare of fireworks and glittery purple metallic tickertape shooting forth from the stage.
When the billowing smoke had cleared from the pyrotechnics:lined up at the front of the stage were the newspaper's production staff dressed in black suits and black sunglasses;reminiscent of the Earth science fiction film"Men in Black".
During the evening there were many Alien bands and singers entertaining the audience against the title of the newspaper "X-Planet" flickering across the screen.The newsaper has been based on the Earth newpaper "The Daily X-Press";the Bangkadians love copying and stealing ideas from other planets.

President takes a gamble

President Sam doesn't seem very sure of his position these days especially as the ex-President of Bangkadi "Square Face" Taki Sinatra recently returned from his exile in Chang Chang.
The ex-President even kissed the ground upon arriving at the Inter City station and a TV reporter reported the Taki's return as
President Taki's triumphant return to Bangkadia.

Double trouble

There's a double of me wandering the streets of Paramall,well driving around as he's a turbo taxi driver.The big problem is that he is a master criminal terrorising the citizens of City Paramall and I've sometimes been mistaken for him;only the other night I was barred from entering the nightclub Tuxedo Junction,as a couple of weeks ago my double in a drunken rage had hit the DJ for chatting up his girl friend and started a massive brawl on the dance floor.Luckily my good friend Andi Spidanni,another Earthling stranded on this planet,came to my rescue and vouched my identity.Well my double,Perrelli Banelli,commits of his crimes in Paramall but recently extended his activities to the outer suburbs of the city.Anyway I've decided to keep my identity chip in me at all times to avoid any more problems.I usually leave it on my desk as the chip when embedded in my forehead leaves a small rash on my skin.

GOURMET PRESIDENT SAM

The newly elected Bangkadian President, Sam Suniwari seems to have a bad memory especially when recalling past events in Bangkadian history;in an interview with a local TV channel he said only one person was killed in the university student demonstration at the beginning of this century;in fact at least 46 people were killed in the military crackdown.Lets hope he remembers the ingredients in his favourite recipes for his new weekly cooking chat show;apparently after the first show he was irritated that the viewers were able to see his fat belly and has asked for a desk when presenting the next show.President Sam is also annoyed that the Bangkadians still insist on calling him Apple Face.

THE SPACE WITHIN US

Last night I watched Paul McCartney's "The Space within US" documentary concert of the tour he did in the USA in 2005.I only watched the first part as I suddenly started feeling all hot and feverish;hope I'm not catching Bangkadian flu.
Luckily my music and film library wasn't destroyed when my spaceship crashed.
By the way I hadn't told you how I ended up on this planet;on the sixth month of the tour around the M5 constellation my spaceship had slipped through a worm hole at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy and ended up crashing into the River Cha Cha of Planet Bangkadia.
