Just occasionally you come across a Thai tradition that you had never previously encountered. A couple of weeks ago Rachel was having a late drink at Jackie's van and someone was celebrating a birthday. Rachel was somewhat bemused when the birthday girl came across and put a dab of cake on her face. Last night the mystery was solved.
Tuskers staff member Jack, renowned for being able to fix anything, was celebrating his birthday at Tuskers with a group of friends. Things were proceeding very nicely, whiskey was being consumed in enormous quantities and everyone seemed to be having a good time when one of the party produced a cake replete with candles. After a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday jack went around putting a little smear of a rather delicious strawberry sponge on peoples cheeks. Apparently it's tradition you know although how such a bizarre ritual ever began in the first place is apparently a mystery lost in the annals of time.
As it turned out the last laugh was on Jack who once everyone had been suitably daubed cooped the remainder.
Happy birthday Jack - hopefully he will not be suffering too much today at work as I have some loud shouting practice to get in.
