Ok I have a few questions so let’s dive right in :
Can I use my witty repartee on Khmer 440 and my much-envied posting history,including many eagerly awaited new threads which undoubtedly have every single member of Khmer 440 on the edge of their seats,as my portfolio?
As the sunset on another day in the beautiful city of Phnom Penh I was sat on the riverside,watching the golden red orb of the sun slowly descending into the mighty Mekong River once again.
Soon it would be pitch black as if a light switch had been turned off and the cacophony of the night was already beginning,with the cicadas at higher decibels than a commercial airliner warming up for take off.
Alongside the incessant barking of the anxious and hungry geckos already sticking to the neon signs outside every bar,waiting in anticipation for their easy meals literally like moths drawn to a flame.
The sun was now well and truly over the yardarm and it was time to head for the bars,now obviously it goes without saying that as an expat in South-East Asia I’m ex-Special Forces something I don’t like to talk about until I’m into at least my third beer.
At which point I can generally be found regaling the whole bar with tales of crossing the Mekong at Da Nang with an NVA Battalion hot on our heels laying down heavy machine gun and RPG fire.
Let me know when you can have the contracts drawn up,so I can pass them onto my agent to give them the once over and see that everything is in order?

My Submission for consideration.
We call Howie, Howie The Pox, because he spends more money on doctors and penicillan than he does on the whores and bars that infect him. If he’d stop descibing the sexual sewer in his underwear every time he contaminated his cock, we would’ve been kinder and named him Mattress Back Howie, or Bareback Howie, or Howie The Little Fat Fucking Steam Engine. But as he won’t keep his unhealthy discharges to himself, fuck him, he’s Howie The Pox.
Sunday. 11am. Jesters Cafe
Howie is is already sitting down and half way through his English breakfast when I get there, rivulets of sweat tracing the wheezing fat bastard’s jawline before falling off his chin onto the table. In Howie’s defence, Phnom Penh is fucking hot.
“Saw your ex missus last night.” he says, eyes fixed on his food.
I drag out a chair and sit. “Which one?”
“One that bought The Juice Box.” Howie looks up searching for a waitress and waves one over.“She looks good.”
I’m not interested in talking about my fucking ex. I order two beers from the approaching pair of tits and avoid the topic.
Pm me.
