Idiot forum further up the page thank you!

Avoiding the too obvious....Heavenly Creatures

This fellow was good in that film... Leonardo DiCaprio

Yes, that sounds right. I think it is a place I went in years ago that had a lot of expensive stuff originating from the USA. At the time I was looking for a new Fluke meter. I thought it had a different name back then. Thanks....

A couple of surprises last night..... European efforts draining the stamina of the teams?Chelsea lose, Arsenal beaten at home by lowly WBA, Liverpool held to a draw by Sunderland.

Yeah but the address says Sukhumvit so it is on the main rd there, not the darkside. I actually used to live up Soi siam cc (Nongprue area) so I am pretty sure it is not around there. I suspect a bit further South.

Ben Kingsley (again)

I don't need the music..... I was sitting there enjoying the sound of the sea lapping back and forth over the pebbles with a wonderful swish and slosh noise. But actually the tide was out and there was something funny going on under the next table!

Yeah me too, I was in the Carrefour/Pattaya one and didn't see anything.I am looking to be able to lock it up (Mr Pastry), so a carport isn't quite it, someone will spot a 17k lawnmower and have it over the wall. A garden shed was a quick fix idea for me. I took a look at the 'True Value' stuff (wow-expensive) and it looked more like big wardrobes and cupboards, but a trip to the store may be worthwhile. It says Nongprue/ Sukhumvit but I can't place the location exactly. Anybody can nail it for me? Getting a contractor to build a bit of an extension is looking like the best solution, and since that is going to cost I may end up making it bigger and providing a bit of a workshop. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Is this a coaxial cable, fibre optic or a telephone line (2 core)?Maxnet (now 3bb?) was TT&T....... I had that at my previous house. I am well out of town now and sadly there is no coverage by True here.... that is why 3g over the mobile phone network appealed to me as a solution to getting away from the awful TOT! I do have Sophon cable TV out here and there was rumour of them supplying internet over their coaxial network... I haven't specifically asked but believed it would be 'tested' in central areas.

Alfred Molina

I heard feedback of when Aston Villa played at Newcastle, they were completely stuffed 6-0 there.Someone working in a Newcastle area hotel saw the team getting completely shitfaced the Saturday night early Sunday before the early (12.30) match. I think that was when they lost their manager and obviously the team was like a gang of schoolkids with the teacher out of the classroom. Very unprofessional.... little kids with big bank accounts.

I need to bite the bullet and buy a lawn mower and a strimmer. Those and other gardening stuff have to be put someplace and currently I don't have anywhere. I could have an extension added on to a building and stuff it in there. It would likely be more expensive than warranted, and I do hate having workmen round tossing fag ends, they always bring their damned wives and out of control kids too! A bit of a lean to might look a bit tacky.... My other thought was'The Garden Shed'... popular in the UK, likely as it does not need planning permission, and one can avoid the Council jobsworths. Has anybody seen anything like that for sale in the Pattaya area, I think I could manage to put it up with neighbourly help ? I can see it now, I'll put a little refrigerator and an old armchair in there with the stuffing poking out of a hole, buy a flat cap and take up pipe smoking! Any better ideas out there, or where can I buy a garden shed?

The London Olympics.......? Perhaps the film starring.... John Cusack

How do 'True' get the internet into the home then?I ask as I went to see them at the Pattaya Nua Tesco place and they said they could do nothing regarding my area!

Good post..... I have copied and filed it away for when needed.

Glad to be of help, and to be appreciated!

Caught this on Sophon very recently.... Oliver Platt.

You will of course be hit by the 150 baht foreign ATM card tax using your card. So have a high limit and find machines that allow you to get most out, my Bangkok bank lets me get 25k, whereas I was once limited in a SCB machine.I alway deter cash carrying, a thief or absent mindedness can ruin your holiday, no refunds on cash loss! Travellers cheques offer your 'control' and protection against theft/loss, and if bought commission free offer a good overall rate. I am not particularly hurting for the coppers one saves using particular international cash transfer methods, but I like to support the cheaper ones!

Not sure that recovers deleted programs Joe, although a worthwhile and easy 'try'......... Try some internet searches mentioning BlazeDTV , perhaps some other poor soul has already had the problem or get in touch with the supplier to see if they know the fix. If there is a backup available on the computer it might be a place to look, but I smell a Windows re-installation.

That is your best point there and it made me nod my head.But denying your own populace a development in technology purely to protect self interest is 3rd World. Nevertheless Thailand does seem to progress quite well, heaven knows where they would be without their politics, perhaps a second Japan... I would love to be able to plug a 3g dongle into my computer and dispose of the hopeless 0-1Mb telephone line TOT deign to permit me to pay for. I can't get their maintenance to resolve my issues or even attend my residence, but there were 3 trucks parked infront of a nearby restaurant for 2 hours yesterday .... no wonder they don't get anything done!

Cadillac Man

Thank you, my mistake, I might have grasped chronic bronchitis or emphysema, This guy claims you have it, I hope not.

I always got a good deal at the RG for a months rental, but if he is well booked likely he doesn't need to offer it.I also used to like the Nova Park as a second choice. Just never fancied laundering my own bedding/towels nor cleaning up the room.

Also the simple fact that the best 'rate' is never the cash one!Plenty of discussion on that on this board.... over about £2k works out better where the originating bank costs (£15-25) and receiving bank costs (500baht) are covered by the 0.7 baht/£ more you get.
