  2. He asked first!
  3. I did, I am not and I am too!But definitely not is.... Josh Brolin
  4. Anybody taking bets....The railway line bypass went reasonably well, but that was built by the military. (Some of the junctions, like Khao Talo, are a disaster). The flyover and bypass to the motorway seemed to go quite well too. Condos seem to rise from the Ashes like unfurling ballerinas. But Thrappaya and Jomtiem 2nd Rd continue to frustrate, kill and ruin businesses, Sukhumvit is resurfaced then dug up again to return to a biker's menace. The bridges South of Laem Chabang still require detours, work appears not to progress, like the traffic. Six years, no way, maybe seven!
  5. Hang in there, it's the peak season, Christmas and New Year and MM runs a bar. Who is your email server by the way? I have heard of emails going astray, I think it was hotmail.
  6. Sean Penn
  7. Easy too..... Michael J Fox.... all 3!
  8. You may also notice the Thais lads are buying some of the bigger bikes. I believe the source of danger to me on my bike to be trucks and these huge coaches which give you little regard, and are in the habit of pulling out infront of motorbikes.
  9. Wow, first I heard of an Aeon machine issuing a charge. Since it is a Thailand imposed charge I would be surprised the location of the bank account would matter. I will be trying the one near BigC South next week.
  10. Yeah, 132 projects to be undertaken and be completed in 6 years...... that is a coincidence, hasn't the project to construct Thrappaya been going on that long? Perhaps a few more traffic deaths required.
  11. Well they did nearly six months ago..... They love eating CHEAP Thai food too!
  12. Boeing Aircraft do not have highly experienced pilots?
  13. Hmm, I thought that was a dead end for a minute........ Christopher Lloyd
  14. Whatever commission your UK bank charges on TCs... (eg 1.5% at Post Office) A local charge in Thailand of 33 baht/cheque, hence larger denominations work out better. A better exchange rate for TCs of about 30 satang/£1 over cash. It is hard to compare the exchange rate with ATM withdrawals unless you take notes but other than the local 150 baht charge, there is often a standing charge from your UK bank, and a further commission that gets hidden in a poorer exchange rate.
  15. Boy, could he have ripped into the band at The Wonderful Bar back then!
  16. The merchant of Venice

    prices

    We are in the midst of the peak season.... if anything prices have drifted up.
  18. Disable Adblock
  19. Ursula UAndress
  20. Good maids are hard to find. Most like the salary but are not keen on the work.Their idea of cleaning the house may not match yours. My neighbours have been through a succession of them. Good luck.
  21. The opposite of Strauss who seems to go cheaply far too often, but I believe to be one heckuva captain. Good form from Oz at the moment, although the lost wicket was dumb.
  22. Peter Cushing.....
  23. Never say never..... And I agree, to their credit as generally little respoinsiblity is taken.
  24. Then there are the baht bus pick-pocket girls and the katoeys. I would never ever take my passport out with me, in fact I leave all the cards, licences etc etc back in the room and it is just cash in my pockets.
  25. Jeez, there will be a few bars around Bua Khao suffer.
