Glad to hear it...... Michael Jackson's doctor might be available soon, or not.

Victor Mature.

Well the TGF's brother has been warned his factory will likely close due to expected floods and he will be laid off. I think the factory is Phatum Thani area. He has also moved some belongings onto the bed in his room. I think he will regret those payments if the layoff is too long, but had to have a new car! Joe, yes I think it was Friday's presentation where my TGF was unimpressed, but then she always had a soft spot for Mark, as he was quietly and politely spoken. She thinks Yingluck is overly concerned regarding her appearance, non of which is as silly as praying to rain gods. Last night Yingluck seemed to get confused over the emergency number, a rather complicated 1111! It was all very clever to build a few dams but drainage seems to have been overlooked, surely that wasn't Thaksin!

Whose is it?

So obviously the 4 extremists aim was to perpetuate extremism to kill more innocents.So they got what they wanted. Why aren't you railing against them, they caused mayhem and misery for such a large number. You are focussing on an unfortuante incident involving the security forces and one innocent person, in effect, an accident. Apparently strapping explosives to yourself and blowing limbs off people on London transport is not the major issue to you.

He is a qualified medical Doctor too you know.

oh yes...Richard Burton.

Slight side track. My TGF watched Yingluck on TV recently doing a talk on the flooding situation. She was not impressed. She said when Yingluck talked it was indecisive, unclear and non-specific, unlike her predecessor, Mark, who she said spoke well in Thai (and English too of course). I would be very interested to have some fluent falang explain this to me. Has Thailand reverted to a less open style of government?

Well sadly the days of flying Concorde from London to New York and arriving before you left are gone. Luggage in Moscow!

Wow a quick reply... but 21 days is a long duration but possible for salmonella.I also see you can be a carrier for 12 weeks beyond that so perhaps calling your employer neurotic was harsh. I recall getting into a foetal position to try and ease my cramps... no fun. I had a recent infection from within the UK, in Thailand I seem to never have a problem, but the memories make me cautious.

It's called relativity, only Einstein and Steven Hawking are smart enough to understand it. But trust me on this, timewise, the USA is well behind nearly the whole world.

Yes but how long were you actually unwell? The nuerotic requirements of your employer were one thing, my experiences of regular food poisoning is 4-5 days misery with perhaps a few residual cramps after that for a few more days.The pork satay, ensure you see it on the grill for while and all is fine, flies or not. All my periods of ailment came from food prepared out of sight, in a kitchen, in a restaurant.

Agreed, I would not want a balcony if I had children. Then school location needs to be in your considerations. I am resident in Pattaya area, but not the darkside. I did live over there for 3 years in a rented house though, and it left me feeling it was an area rotting on it's feet. Higher crime and awful traffic during rush hour to get to say Sukhumvit, there are very nice developments further East, but you increase the driving distances. I think you are right considering Jomtiem, but also areas to the North (Nongkhret Yai, Nong Plalai), or South, (Hua Yai and Phoenix ) there are higher end developments that make an old Chockchai estate on Khao Talo look like a barrio.

You decided on a house already? A Condo is likely to be more central and can be 100% in your own name. I would always suggest renting for year or two before jumping in. It gives you a base to use while really searching and comparing. Some people don't take to living here, easier to leave when all you own is a suitcase. Your personal circumstances might alter, suddenly you have a wife, mother in law and a few kids Location becomes more of a consideration. There is also alternatives to the darkside, most of which is deteriorating fast as a desirable place to live.

Yes and I was working with touch screens donkeys years ago etc etc, where are you going with this?Marconi invented the Ipad?

Yes and Zerox got Apple shares didn't they, but yes, correct. A WW2 radar screen had neither Windows nor a mouse, just the CRT.

Go and grind your axe elsewhere. If 52 innocent people had not been cruelly slaughtered by 4 evil extremists the scenario of fear in London would not have existed. So I give this one to the 4 traitors, may they rot in hell.

No it's not, it is +14 hours. There is the paltry matter of crossing the International Date Line. Didn't you ever see 'Around the World in 40 days'.... ?

John Hurt.

That is the least Bill could do... I always thought Windows was a rip off from the Mac.

Emirates have sent me a few, but you really have to check the layover in Dubai. Hanging around there for 7-8 hours doesn't make up for a hundred quid saving for me. Qatar just sent me a flyer but that is flights out of BKK.

No it isn't, I haven't done it myself but would that new train into BKK, then a connecting train to HH be an alternative. Are alternatives OK Joe?

I first heard on the Beeb, then watched the report on Fox well before MM posted, but I didn't get that impression.I thought he was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago.

There are guys who do it in 'public', seriously, get out more.
