  1. Also the 'real' bread doesn't stay fresh very long, like the processed sliced stuff in the plastic bags. I love fresh bread and if I can get it from town to home quite quickly enjoy it at its best, but certainly not the next day. Keep in mnd I live 12 km out of town, and there is no bakery nearby. I used to live on soi Siam CC and there was spoiled by a French place nearby and a short trip for me or the Mrs in the morning.
  2. I remember seeing your garlic toast before and being surprised that you seem to use regular sliced bread. Good alternatives available in Big-CX,, good Paninis, or Best on Nua near the Dolphin roundabout. I freeze some and microwave when needed, although I could do with some schooling how to get the best out of it.

  5. C'mon, the place will be packed with tree hugger backpackers and bleeding heart liberals!
  6. No, my error, too lazy to double check, so I shall go with David Warner
  7. Billy Zane
  8. Leonardo Di Caprio
  9. Dead Man Walking
  10. The Witches of Eastwick
  11. A personal favourite... Eye of the Needle.
  12. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
  13. Star Trek
  14. I am a macho truck type!
  15. I see some wag in a red sports car stopped in the tunnel to take pictures!
  16. We haven't had any serious downpours in my area North of town, one night of persistent light rain I can recollect. Theory has it as the entrances are raised water should not flow into the tunnel. That said it has to flow somewhere.
  17. As mentioned before, I think the motorway flyover is in the way..... had an overpass been used I guess that would have had to be rebuilt to tie them together. Complicated stuff for the region.
  18. That is going to cost him when Coleen gets on the phone to her lawyer.
  19. I would say yes, not many in the west have a good perspective of true poverty. I have worked in India and Bangladesh and seen some examples of it, or I thought I had until I visited Rochdale! (TICH)
  20. This past post came to my mind and increased relevance when I saw the death toll as per this clip.... Floods in India, Bangladesh and Nepal kill 1,200 and leave millions homeless. Not meaning to trivialize what happened in Houston Tx and the nearby areas but sometimes things need a perspective.
  21. Tunnel finished... oops spoke too soon, repairs ongoing!

  22. Not much choice there and I usually like to push things back towards easier pastures... Elena Anaya
  23. I drove Northbound through the tunnel as I posted above, on my little Yammy, and failed to see any No motorbike signs. I did see the one prohibiting them on the motorway flyover, as I exited the tunnel, and went onto the motorway flyover.
  24. Came through it Northbound today then onto the flyover....pretty slick actually. Had an OOOPS moment when I saw the huge sign over the entrance with 'Height' incorrectly spelled! In no position to take a picture though....
