  1. It is early morning for me and I keep putting off getting ready and off out.Got to do the kratong floating thing later....... I hope it doesn't rain. And I wish I was as tough as Mike Tyson.......
  2. Sad or pretty, are those right words or wrong words? Hard to know what you mean...sunny and hot outside right now, is it rainy season again?
  3. Probably, yes agreed, in the above quote 'probably' is redundant. As to 'using the wrong words', well of course in can be important and is hardly a so what. Let me help... rainy season in the Pattaya area is defined as June to October, starting sooner and lasting a little later in the South. Evening downpours can occur during the hot season, March-May.
  4. So now it just rains just for you.....?
  5. I have always admired Crouch's efforts. But for the manager he just doesn't fit into that 'team' they try to create. He is that square peg in a round hole that the ball always bounces off into the net. Funny set of results so far this weekend.... Arsenal and Chelsea beaten. If City get the points at the Premiership's most southern team that should tighten the top up nicely.
  6. Yes, but you said season, not rain. By your now flailing back-peddling approach it is rainy season all year....
  7. I like to go along with the concept that Songkran is in the hot season......
  8. Are you the guy on another thread having a serious argument with joe about who knows more about Thailand.....This is not doing your cred much good!
  9. My old Nuovo cost me near 50k 3 years ago, or was it 4?I could have paid more for the alloy wheels and shit. When her old banger bike packed in, I bought a good condition, low mileage Suzuki step for 23k, it still runs great snd she uses it near everyday. I wanted electric start and a front disc brake for her. I like the 'known names' rather then these things put together here from Chinese bits..... Honda wave 125x in Carrefour about 40k.
  10. Depends on make and model mate....... like anyplace else.
  11. I topped mine up last night, added 300 baht and it totalled 602 baht. Validity 30 July 2011. How on earth they come up with that date heaven knows.
  12. There aren't any trucks on Walking St at night. Why is it ridiculous..... ? It is happening and being accepted all over the world. Just because you smoke it is no reason to force complete strangers to suffer the smell and adversely affect their health without any regard. The smokers can surely move to a seperate area, since they are the ones with the habit. I am not the one telling them not to smoke in a bar, the law is. Good manners is. Consideration is. Common sense is. Self preservation is..... Apparently liberties apply to smokers and not those who prefer not to inhale the exhaust fumes of selfish inconsiderate addicts. It is specifically a problem when it is just 3 feet away..... I elect not to pass gas when people are that close....
  13. The Matrix Revolutions
  14. New 38-50k.Second hand 20-25k, for one that will work and last a bit.
  15. Strange, from their website... * Free call bonus worth 50 baht (valid for 30 days) which customers can check its balance via *121*1#Call * 30 validity days * Free trial period of Calling Melody service for 1 month (worth 35 baht). To sign up, dial *273# within 30 days of activation date. Top - up * Any amount of top-up will extend validity by another 365 days. Although it does say if you don't use it for 90 days you can lose the number.....link
  16. I will decide where I will or will not go..... If you are silly enough to smoke, don't take it out on me.
  17. A bit earlier might have worked better.....
  18. The attractive..Theresa Randel
  19. I thought the Airbus A380 required only 2 pilots.... Where were the other 3 sitting?
  20. Yes, the UK has umpteen percent VAT and we like to hide it in the price already...
  21. Agreed, so long as the 'ticket' cannot be passed to another person. It is a form of 'profiling'........ and what is wrong with that? Patting down every 10th passenger. including old ladies and toddlers is asinine. I was watching a report regarding complaints that Muslim women should not be patted down as it is un-Islamic. Well Muslim women traveling is unislamic and for me, no security, no boarding. I liked what I heard at Amsterdam once where a Nigerian lady, who had boarded at Lagos no problem with all these liguids in her hand baggage was refusing to give up some stuff. A stern Dutch lady just said, 'make up your mind, because we have to get your suitcase off the plane'.
  22. Agreed, it isn't that good a Biz Class, but service is great and the flights were punctual. My last flight with them was spoiled by 2 drunken chavs in the seats infront.My last Biz class flight cost me £1800 (Ethiad) and now they are about £2k (I like Qatar). About 4x the economy tickets.....
  23. Seems like more than what happened to the WS places, which were told to close. Perhaps some paperwork not in order, of the folding variety.
  24. If I am going to spend 12 hours sat at a bar, I will need more than 1350 baht!
