  1. Well 24hrs since the Spanish title was pulled out of 'the hat'..... Pedro Damian
  2. The figure '1' and a lot of these..'0'......
  3. Jeez, now we will never shut the guy up! You might be less impressed had you seen the hotel he recommends.
  4. 'Almost identical' is an oxymoron! I picked that one to show how it could be similar, but made to appear more appetising, better presented. I did say for 230 baht I would not expect a 'sprinkling of truffles'. If you cannot see any difference, great.....
  5. I am used to seeing it more like this.... or better still this....
  6. Irony? I thought the presentation of all the dishes was very poor. But at that price one cannot expect much.
  7. Sorry to hear that, as you say a nice-guy......Mr Handshaker.
  8. I find it alerts me to 'breaking news', and supplies some comprehensive information for 'living here'.... But boy ain't their moderators a jolly crowd.... not! ;d
  9. Pattaya, large efficient immigration office so no need for border runs! And a few MPs in the next street to while away a wait! Bars..... no comparison. (so why 'apart from Pattaya'?)
  10. I keep setting my Yahoo spell-checker (or whatever damned plug-in I have) to UK English and it still keeps squiggly underlining my vowel rich vocabulary! Jeez EP, I nearly cracked the back of my skull!
  11. That is an actor (or actress),? Sounds more like a German trade union!
  12. I find most other people's opinions to be wrong. Adolph Hitler had a few I might dispute too!
  13. For those who live here, with a Thai partner, you may realise that Buddhist Lent ended yesterday. My partner marked the occasion with a few Regency and Sodas, her first alcohol for the 3 month season. Many do actually give up something, alcohol being a common one, but in Pattaya one might not notice. Did your partner give up anything...... ? How did she mark the end of the season. I wonder if the restaurants might be busier tonight, it is of course coinciding with Eid al Adha, the Islamic holiday.
  14. Marcel Marceau
  15. Jane Fonda
  16. Bloody trains keep de-railing here!
  17. Katharine Hepburn.
  18. I have given up on this place, my last visit being a year ago. My views are not as extreme as steamer, but do go a little way down that road. It isn't far from where I live so always an attractive option, rather than driving into town and struggling with traffic and parking. The problem is, the place is so popular....... and a single couple, falang and Thai wife, well you are likely to get a table near the toilet or kitchen,and as EP suggests, that is what the crowds are doing. The large groups seem to be ordering throughout their meal. The food was certainty, good, the menu extensive ++, but the large groups will dominate the staff and kitchen. I also felt I was treated offhandedly once.
  19. I have actually never flown EVA, but I did the one via Amsterdam,China some-thing-or-other (Gazelle Travel, Newcastle) and was having lustful ideas at 30,000 ft, and making night-out plans for my BKK arrival. I definitely associate that Oriental look with hanky-panky. Shit, my mind wanders on Air-Asia while fighting Chinese for overhead stowage!
  20. Darn, it must be only a tenner over all the UK taxes!!!!!
  21. Buzz or bus.......? And the different vowel pronunciations on each side of Brum. Book buck to the South, b-hook to the north.
  22. John Wayne
  23. Of course they are waitresses in the air..... and they brought my food and a few drinks as required. But Singapore Girls they ain't, nor ever were. I like a bit of attractiveness and Thai, Cathay, SQ and a few others, well of course they turn heads as they walk through a concourse rather than stomachs!
  24. A Google search took me to a facebook page. Looks like you are correct.
