  1. Well Pattaya claims to be filling up with those running from the water, and there are shortages due to supply disruption and those increasing numbers. Substantial price hikes announced too by her straight back from the market.
  2. Well the main one and OP have been blocked!Although he has popped in for a read now and again.
  3. Probably get it for £50 at home.
  4. Thursdays only, well half of it.... until April I think it is. Not exactly convenient for the guys trying to get a pension confirmation letter, which used to be issued the next day, but now is it the next week?
  5. Surprised they aren't electric motor driven.Coincidentally just read this... To speed up the current from Pathum Thani's Canal 13 to Hok Wa Lang Canal at the border with Bangkok and finally to the Gulf of Thailand, pumps have to be borrowed from Suvarnabhumi Airport, he said. How about the supplies for the aircraft then? I know it is different stuff, but what is the supply route?
  6. Aren't they extinct?
  7. It's too hot.
  8. Sean Connery.
  9. What about a heavy lace trimming made of twisted gold or silver threads?

    Well he isn't back at work yet and the due date is unknown. My point was supporting your statement that the authorities will be balls to the walls to get things up and running as soon as they can. My use of the word agriculture was perhaps too broad. I know I couldn't get any of those big shrimps with the claws (langostinos?) for my BBQ this weekend. Something about floods in Chachoengsao. (Don't hit on me if wrong, feedback from her in the kitchen). The Bangkok post was a little more pessimistic regarding rice crops.... but hey, that is what newspapers do! The Thai Rice Mills Association has forecast that rice production might fall by 15-20% to fewer than 20 million tonnes, but the Thai Rice Exporters Association and others believe the losses will be less severe. Banjong Tungjitwattanakun, vice-president of the Thai Rice Mills Association, said key growing areas in the central, northern and northeastern provinces were affected by the floods, with some mills having been inundated, damaging stockpiles. And the BBC is discussing shortages around SE Asia of rice as I type!
  11. So they have microphones and speakers that work off something else? Hyde park lies between Knightsbridge and Mayfair, quite central and a lot more space. How many tourists have been interviewed then? Seeing as how they are being turned away from St Pauls I doubt they think much of that mob. That one single American obviously has not tried to get into Westminster Abbey, and it isn't just £10 like St Pauls. (I did last month). Access to the Church (cathedral) is impeded, it is CLOSED! I am sure the City police are glad to see some protestors move on, will teh protestors be paying the policing costs out of their student grants and benefits?
  12. So back to Lobster Pot? Have an out of towner coming in and thought I might just partake of good seafood over the sea on the street. Obviously not Mr 99. Any recommendations?
  13. Well it isn't directly on WS but I thought Whats Up charged that.Angelwich, not a GO-GO, a showbar charges more. Hot Girls. Living Dolls Showcase is only a fraction under 150 baht. Source.
  14. Ron Perlman.

    Flooding

    Fits with what I have heard. My TGF's brother, laid off because of the floods, has been told to be ready to get back to work when called. As an engineer he will be busy getting things up and running before the production staff return. Generally activity like this boosts an economy. There will be a big negative effect on agriculture.
  16. Pulp Fiction.
  17. Then they should fuck off to Hyde park where there is a place specifically for that purpose. And not get in the way of tourists who have perhaps travelled thousands of miles and have this one opportunity to see St Pauls. Where are they getting their electricity from?

    Flooding

    That is a fair point, I should invest £50k and buy HSBC shares with it. But I had a brainstorm some years back and dumped all my managed funds, with an underlying lack in faith in shares generally. It may have been a fortuitous decision at the time but there seems little around to put cash into these days. Although Gold back then would have been a reasonable stop gap, and I was told only today by a gold fanatic he expects it to rally again to $2000/Oz.
  19. Now that is a good deal....
  20. Carrie. You call that shite and go watch AV?????

    Flooding

    They have nothing worth bothering with.....
  22. The one Kolobos was also involved in prior to his demise?
  23. Yes I blame all that on the banks too!
  24. Thanks for the heads up on this, although tourists and non-forum readers won't know this. Have there been some 'issues'?
  25. I was using this (Link) to see what to expect, and it had been serving me well. But now the Rayong Radar has stopped updating since the 20th. It forewarned me of quite a few thunderstorms before that.
