Your ignorance is astounding. A very very funny OP marred by a sour grapes post!

Maybe Steamer meant Canadian dollars too.....

And just to keep us on our toes...... All 22 million households in the country might face a blackout of the 64 live matches of the World Cup football tournament if the Supreme Administrative Court today rules in favour of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), RS said during the hearing in the court yesterday. Apparently from The Nation, but I read it on Thai Visa.

Yeah bring it.... but they seem to show little interest in it in Jomtiem.

It has just been announced that True Visions will show all the games. Any Sports Bar..... Secrets in HD, The Sportsman, Wetherspoons etc etc I am sure replays will be all over the place and since the curfew is no more, game on.

Bad time of year in that regard, the heat and limited rain make the drains and sewage vents extra pungent. But regular tourist come to love it! Many who settle here move out of town after a while.

The Last Best Sunday.

My thoughts are Brazil too. The home advantage in a Country that is absolutely football mad. I was in a rural poor town there and when there was a game on, the only bar with a viewable TV used to cause a street blockage.

That hasn't happened to me for donkey's years. Mind you the last time was on a flight via the USA. I get exhausted with all the walking and security at transit so am disinclined to carry much other than the backpack with laptop.

I just checked a BHP bill from last month... the charge for the doctor was 1000 baht. My total was 2300, the rest due to prescribed meds and the usual blood pressure/temperature obligatory precheck. I have more confidence in a medical check/test eg X-Ray, than spending the money on a concoction of 5 meds. Couldn't even determine what they all were as they came in little baggies........

The noose tightens..........

The Outlaw Josey Wales.

You never know. My TGF found a ENT doctor who has a clinic in Naklua. Sure, his charges were less at 300 baht for the consultancy, but the quack prescribed 5 different medications and gave her an injection too. Total cost, 2000 baht. I think she might have got out of the BHP for about that, she is just too scared to go there due to their overcharging reputation.

In the 'old days' I was less discerning, and the absence of a joiner fee was a major factor.

Not much to do at Bahrain unless you can get into one of the lounges. There are sleeping Indians all over the place.

Take a look in HomePro in the Big C Extra Mall. Although I thought they just used water rather than ice. Seem to range from 5000 to 9000 baht. They won't work very well in high humidity I expect.

How much fell back onto the plate using that approach? I eat a big burger like a girl, it has to remain on the plate and I use a knife and fork!

The Squeeze. (24hr)

Haven't seen them here. I could use one in the village bungalow. There are a lot of those stand alone units being offered that you have to put water into! They appear attractive as they are demonstrated inside a well air-conditioned showroom where people can hold their hands in front and feel the cooling effect of the highly humid draught.

Why would you invite a girl you have never met to join you in Australia? If you must, take a holiday yourself and meet her in the UK.
