You never mentioned flags until now. Sometimes they use a little cuddly toy on a stick!

A crowd of Chinese were trying to get into SS on soi 8, didn't spot a flag but they were certainly a group! Did Gabor not mention one recently? I thought there were still one or 2 places taking them in on the Walking St. Polo, now there was a place for being hassled for tips and drinks!

They led a bloody tour group into one I was in!

Nothing meant other than it is a something I read often here.... I just think the bar-owners realise where the money is. I don't expect many Expats are big bell ringers and ping-pong ball fanatics. Lots of new tourist arrive daily.......and the old stalwarts who have been away for some months. I personally don't drink shorts/mixed drinks as they don't last me long enough.......I also have a fear of drinking too much alcohol and falling down the Sugar Baby steps. Maybe a good thing they don't mix them on the street like I mix them at home!

Well I must confess I have done that once or twice, but I have to forward it to my other phone. Nothing useful so far! Surely, anything important will be written in English!

People often spout this but many owners won't look further than the current moment. And why not, their customers are mostly transient, tourist visitors more than the Expats.... who mostly spend little. Give them a daft 2 week millionaire every night and he is welcome to get his kit off and dance on stage so long as he rings that bell!

I get frustrated on the railway line bypass Rd by the number of vehicles that accelerate past me, and then pull over and brake quite heavily in front of me to make the left turn. Twats. And Bangkok drivers, yes you can certainly recognise them! (Twats). I just dropped my good lady off to to a day trip to The Big Mango and am now worried as she is in one of those silver mini-buses.

I might have done! I get these SMS messages in Thai that I just delete!

Yes it does work, thanks a lot. I took a look in Youtube myself but couldn't find episode 2. I had moved my laptop, got my headphones on and hit play last night only to be disappointed. Rather than watch some silly soap with her I had an early night. They must be very selective about when they film.....normally I see more queues, the VAT refund kiosk is one that springs to mind.

I get the message...... This video has been removed by the user

But I doubt 'eat less' would get Hillary elected! Although she might suggest it to Mike!

Todays rate seems to be about 2 roubles/baht. So I guess your numbers above are actually 48 baht/100 roubles? It was parity about a year ago.

When Microsoft managed to block my naughty copy I actually just went out and bought the 'Home and Student' Version here in Thailand. Useful when someone forwards me a power point presentation... Years ago I did use Open Office for a spell but I was unhappy with the spreadsheet package.

I was following a big Chevy back to the City from Wafra and a kid fell out of the window onto the road! And I recall Pakistanis on foot were always trying to get across the Highway near Mangaf and getting hit.

Yes good one. When I was there I didn't even try to drive, we were given a driver. He was bloody terrible and killed or maimed 3 dogs!

Edward Scissorhands Well Ndugu, I'll close now. You probably can't wait to run and cash this check and get yourself something to eat.

I found Riyadh in KSA pretty bad, some very aggressive driving there. Caracas always sticks in my mind too. Manila...... slow slow and painful. I drove a lot in Kuwait, easy peasy! But my did I see some horrific accidents (excessive speed, powerful vehicles) Surprising what you can get used to. Lots of places worse than Thailand..... although there are astounding examples of stupidity occurring regularly to keep you alert.

You would likely go register at an AIS/DTAC or True service counter in the Mall. I have found some pretty good English speakers there. Can't imagine a little 7-11 on the dark side handling it. I registered my AIS number with my old expired passport and have never updated it. In fact I had an epiphany a few months back when I had logged onto their website and entered my old PP number where it was asking for my National ID card number and was able to access more services.

Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate. What are you doin' here? You oughta be out in a convertible bird-doggin' chicks and bangin' beaver.

Stickman posted our extensions may well cost us 3000 baht next year!

Possibly by sneaking bottles out of the door.
