Man the Barricades!!!

Have just learned that my good friend Jimmy C and the long-suffering Mrs C (or in his words eternally fortunate) are heading for Suvarnabhumi Airport on their way home from their holiday mansion in Hua Hin. It appears there way may be blocked by striking rice farmers who have vowed to block all access to the airport for the next few days.

I will now be glued to the news coverage for sight of a tall - and somewhat distinguished Farang - standing on the barricades at one with the protesters - a bit like Hugh Jackman - or perhaps his father!
