It may to you, and I accept that they are known entities, but as far as I know none of them are female nor have young children at home. They are also pretty fond of the nightlife here. Would you recommend the Glitterman? As Joek is harping on in another thread, we are all just posters in an anonymous whore-monger's forum. If someone were to ask me where they might obtain a babysitter I would likely point them towards a neighbour's maid, or suggest a question at one of the Expats Clubs, not go see the guy who owns the bar complete with prostitutes in town.

Well my tongue was in the cheek but I would not go as far as to say rhetorical. It is just a strange approach to ask barowners and confessed mongers advice regarding babysitters. Does your 29 year old require babysitters? Glad that you are suitable to work with kids, and can give good advice as to what to look for, but you were not included in the 'rhetoric'.

Jeez, and I always thought corporal punishment was tearing a stripe off someone and lancing them.

Well, they are pretty good at making my money disappear........... (someone had to put that old one out....)

How many kids have they got between them?

I don't know what it is about Sattahip, my truck and bike (back box) both broken into up there. My water meter is embedded in concrete.

Jeez Joe, what are you on right now? Has your pharmacist mixed the pills up. I am a real person, and I think all the other BMs are too. They would struggle not to be. I have been around since 200summit and umpteen thousand times, hardly-fly-by night. And I don't have a corporal identity, generally private, major seaman producer.

Well I don't knowingly buy it in the first place, tomcat piss or not.

BigD, man about town.

Where I am, I have TOT and the service centre office is located in Laem Chabang. I would not recommend them. I heard on the radio that Pattaya will soon have the fastest internet in Thailand when TOT lay their fibre-optic cables. Trouble is they have decided to await the completion of Thrappaya and Jomtiem 2nd rd before they dig them up.

Aye but you Yorkshire lads are so nice. I felt a similar way in a hotel full of Chinese.

I might also try looking for a private sale and save on the commissions. Those Estate agents inflate the prices.

Of course plenty of people watched it in Patts, and in Thailand, despite the late hour. (Well a late hour for me but a regular hour to be in a bar for many). Quite disappointing that England's top side can be made to look so second rate.

Yes that sounds pretty good, although my friend was trying to move a larger amount from Halifax and met with problems. I have never gone back to them since they cheated me out of money when they went from a Building Society to a bank (1997). Coincidentally I have an old Sunday Mail nearby which has the headline 'Santander is Still the worst offender' Halifax, now HBOS, is owned by Lloyds, another bank I dumped many years ago when they withdrew some local facilities and said I could go 15 miles to another town for that service! I went 50 yards down the High St to another bank. Halifax has only been a clearing bank for 6 months, I bet you these transfers will go up! But again, I reiterate, why is there any exchange rate at the UK end? I always transfer £, and the Thailand bank make the exchange. How quickly was the money transferred?

The Robert Mitchum one.

Where BigD is concerned I doubt you would get much of an argument here.But knock off perfume... well it can be a reasonable gift to a few BGs, how do you feel about knock off clothes, handbags and watches?

They got a cup or two, not that one, again. Not doing too well on either side of the Humber are we?

I thought the best advice was to chuck it in the pool instead of boring the tits off everyone playing with the damned thing.

Well of course there should not be an exchange rate if you transfer £ to LOS, and anyone who transfers Baht is really throwing money away. You make Santander sound hopeless (formerly the Abbey National Building Society I think). I have heard complaints regarding Halifax, they put daily limits on you (10k) despite it being your money. Many times I hear bad tales of Barclays when attempting international transfers. I use HSBC and Standard Chartered and you never know when some interposing/clearing bank will come into the arrangement and skim another unauthorised charge off you, effectively hitting you up twice. (I paid nearly US$60 for one and £45 for another when hit twice.) I have had success going into the bank and complaining about this and getting a charge refunded, but this is rarely possible for me. It seems the banks prefer poor people who live off credit rather than solvent guys who do the odd international transfer. A necessary evil like Government.

Yeah my TGF sold her empty bottles to some girl peddling around the streets. She offered me some porno DVDs.
