We will be showing all Rugby World Cup matches.

Thanks for the comments lads and especially John for the updated review. We try to keep things up to scratch but always appreciate feedback from returning guests who can compare standards to previous visits. We have a few minor modifications in mind for the future but will implement these slowly especially coming into the low season when income can be unpredictable. I'm not sure John would appreciate Mick as a co-habitant during the Rugby though! Will do what I can for those weekends anyway! Thanks again and cheers.

Hi Mick, I've just heard about this thread. Here in Metro we will definitely be showing all Rugby World Cup games. No matter what time - for most of the matches I will be there! As we do during 6-Nations, we will also have some nosh on. Currently we are showing the 6-Nations and Superugby from Astro and stream if/when Astro do not take a game. When possible and on request we have also shown Guinness Premiership, Magners League and Heineken Cup. Further details will be posted in the bar closer to the time and if some people would like to have an email update then please send an email to promot

Ashes Series live via satellite in Metro Bar, Soi LK Metro.

Bagman! - Almost worked last night as well!

John and Mick!! Sit up, pull yourselves together!! I don't recall having to tie either of you down to get you to have another drink!!

Fellas, Blackout curtains throughout now. Repainting throughout - almost complete - can't get into some rooms or can't get my painter when I need him! Aircon, several DVD players replaced. Still some things to do - but it is a labour of love! You guys have the girls - I have the Metro!! Would I swap?? Some rooms made bigger and additional aircon added to cope with the extra space. Further amendments/improvements pending. France - Ireland tonight

Millwallfc, Sent reply - no rooms available at that time. Sorry. Dennis

Tengotodo, Hotels tend to offer/have more facilities: e.g. restaurant, swimming pool, business centre, childcare centre, room service, etc.etc..... Guesthouses offer more basic services, room with/without breakfast, no pool, etc. Metro is probably an above-average guest house with our facilities: air con fan room safe - free hot water shower (some are not heated) kingsize bed cable tv coffee making facility (free coffee in superior rooms) in-room WIFI - free DVD player - free laundry service minibar. Some of the facilities listed free above are charged extra in some gu

Thanks for the comments, JBM101. By the way - any/all BMs welcome on 17th March for St. Patrick's Day bash. Free stew and live Western music in the evening. Paddy music earlier in the day.

Montydog, Currently I have the canned draft from Dublin. Will try for the Malaysian draft in keg soon - need to cool the bar a bit first!

Party? Did someone mention the 'P' word? The girls just love arranging them! Next biggish one is 17th March - yep, I'm Irish!! Stew, Irish music till about 8-9 p.m. and then a live band with lady singer, and two ladies dancing!! As for May, we'll manage one then!!

Yes, C expecting you 30 April!

Sometimes people don't believe you when you tell them the truth! I could have referred to it as a 3rd world colonic irrigation implement!

Bill: I have sent 2 emails. The last one a few minutes ago. Your booking is OK. flthyanml: The hose by the toilet is a 'bum washer'.

Which has now gone intermittently worse since the Taiwanese earthquake!

Pen, Thanks for that. I try to check metro email regularly from 9am - 2am the following morning. Sometimes other matters delay my responses but I know from previous personal experience that an efficient, reliable booking process takes a lot off a person's mind when sorting out a holiday. Occasional hiccups with the server and currently some dumb-assed hacker has made this a more difficult issue but I'm glad you're happy with the service. Thanks again. Dennis

Thanks for the comments THFC. Solly about the football result! Hope your stay continues to be enjoyable.

Cock 'n Bull is still a bar/guesthouse. New business will be several houses further up the street almost opposite Drunken Duck . Don't know of anyone who's stayed in C n B.

Urmy, Sorry bu I have as of now no unanswered emails from anyone. Please do as LBJ suggests and PM me as I think I now have this facility on this board also.

ben99 I will find out regarding gym and the price. I know it has been done in the past but I will have to enquire about the rate. LBJ Soft / hard ... it's like a glass it's both half empty and half full at the same time! Perhaps a fatter lady? Mackem Stu I have thought of credit cards but it isn't as straight-forward as I thought. Anyway, if I were to do that I would try to make it part of an online, instant booking process, where room availability was visible. I will be talking to my website guy in the coming days and will pick his brain a bit on the issue. Braveheart, Got

Scumbag, It is true that you checked in late evening and did not mention anything that night. It is also true that the next morning you complained to the receptionist. When she spoke to me she said she'd said previously to you that the room had been changed. This is a point you dispute. Now that I have read your complaint I have searched for and found the receipt for the room deposit made 5 September. It does state room 1 but the receptionist maintains that you were told about the room change. The receptionist told me that you were checking out - period! I am sorry if you feel that I d

Hi again braveheart, 1 x room available just now for Feb. Hurry!! Mam and all other girls from May/June still here plus another 6/7!

1 x room available, 14-25 inclusive. Email through metro website.

Hi Braveheart: 2 changes: 1. I have had additional sockets installed in all rooms so that lap tops, phones etc can be charged even when the keycard is removed and the power is off. It was a misconception that the fridge went out when the card was extracted - it doesn 't. 2. I have had the a/c overhauled and faulty wiring corrected. True the a/c goes off when the card is removed - because they consume substantial amounts of power/money when left on all day. For guests who absolutely need to have the a/c on even when they are out of the room - I can do a deal - TIT! Recent
