I thought that was into 'old' passports, ie those due to expire.

There is a form to do this which I filled in,but they never took it off me. Doesn't have a number but it is in here... It was very straightforward and one of the few things done free!

Personally I don't know any. Although I know some with misaligned teeth.... they are older.

Most guys here are a little old for braces. Many are a little old for teeth. Nor are they likely to pursue the strange female fashion item of braced up teeth.

Depressing sights #2 - departure gate at Swampy.
jacko replied to firth1974's topic in Pictorial Travel Reports
It appears a little less crowded at that hour than when I am normally there...9-12pm. But swampy is still a pretty good airport to travel through. -

Seriously? Would it get you into the Emirates lounge at Manchester if you were waiting for an Easyjet flight? -

Is 30B worth a motorbike taxi knifing?
jacko replied to SmellyFarang's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Quite right, John Cleese made it look quite funny and it is far better to kick an inanimate object than try to do the same with it's driver. Thailand is certainly not a place to be out and about looking for trouble or an argument, for some apparently, that is done at a keyboard or mobile phone. Your views seem similar to mine and I feel 'better safe than sorry'.... -

They give the birds a place to sit and sing, and I do not like holes in my walls. -
Well last time I went to the Lone Star I think they were.

Some people should not be given passports

And the rich, at least those coming from rich origins, have normally been taught how to be polite and civilised. Those on the bones of their ass have to work harder. Common people are the best in the world: that is why the Lord made so many of them. -

I am not going to be pushed around by these weasels...... nor do I want to live in fear of these guys! But I avoid a scene by ensuring he understands. Perhaps like BigD, I like to discuss price and performance beforehand to avoid any..... well I think we all know it off pat by now. -

Yes, of course, a slip on my part, but why not answer the question rather than just pointing out my error? I have 2 defunct sat dishes on my roof and just have Sophon. -

Surely you could manage without one of the cable channels? Likely True? -

Yes we get these things.... but every now and again there is a press report making a fuss over an honest taxi driver returning a wallet and passport left in his cab by a tourist. The Thais you will interact with in Pattaya are mostly not to be trusted. M/C... I usually use 2 when I go out, the first I always confirm the price, and usually it is 50 rounded up to 60. The latter, I rarely ask and he always seems happy with the 100 I drunkenly pass over for the ride Tai-Klang. Dangerous to get into an argument with one of these twats while his friends are around.....has anyone ever taken a rider's jacket details and made a complaint? -
In the UK press the contribution by Sir Ben Ainslie is being printed in bold. He does have a strong sailing history and the fact that a 8-1 deficit and what was looking to be a humiliating defeat for team USA was turned around after he came on board seems to confirm he contributed well. It was a case of American money and not-know-how! My only fear, since BigD posted this, will we see another Lance Armstrong kiss of death result in the long term?

I accept that being a 2 storey house will improve the amount of land....... But whether 100TW is 'plenty' is debatable. I guess you are paying for the 'central location', I believe it is near the driving range on 3rd rd.

I guess the land area is 100 TW ? Quite small for a house and pool.

There are quite a few 'Free' ie unsecured Wireless networks to be had too. I was sat infront of a place and chatting to a girl using a notebook and she told me she had just logged onto free connection via Wireless. I did a quick speedcheck on it and it was 10/1 Mb.
