But where does the water in these machines originally come from? Is it dirty water to begin with?

Where do you get that from? What is SML?

You must have a very resilient immune system. Weren't you worried about harmful bacteria etc when you first started drinking it? I use it to clean my teeth but then (most of the time) rinse with bottled water or mouthwash afterwards.

For real? Even the Thais don't do that!

Do you drink the water from these machines? It's very cheap but I don't trust the quality of the water. I have researched the process and understand how it works but where does the water that they use in these machines come from in the first place and is it safe to drink?

In my opinion the current situation has been caused by four main factors; Allowing Fergie to name his successor before his departure. Mourhino was the right man for that job and everyone knows it. I'm not saying that Moyes is a bad manager nor do I blame him for the current situation but don't think he was the right choice. A lack of funds to compete with the other big clubs. Football is all about money now and United need about 200 million to spend on players and strengthen their squad. They need three defenders and three mid-fielders. If they don't spend that much then they won't improve because the players that have come through the youth policy in the last few years aren't good enough in my opinion. Considering how much debt the Glazers still have left to pay, it's unlikely that they have that much to spend on new players. Fergie didn't buy well in the transfer market in the years preceding his departure. They did sign Van Persie, and Kagawa but apart from that they haven't brought in enough quality players which has cost them. For a club of United's size their dealings in the transfer market in the last four years have been quite pathetic. On the whole the current United team is coming to an end, the likes of Giggs, Ferdinand, Evra and Vidic will be retired soon and nothing was done to bring in replacements for these players. Not enough quality in mid-field. This is their biggest problem because without good mid-field players you're not going to create anything. I look at their mid-field now and it just doesn't compare with the other big clubs.

Glad to see Arsenal go back to the top of the league and I hope they win it. Out of all the top sides, they're the only one I could stomach winning it. I have a lot of respect for Wenger and I would like to see him win it after all those years without a trophy, the board stood by him because he's a quality manager and he deserves it.

Do you have to change any settings before you post to get the video to appear or do you just cut and paste the link from You Tube? That's all I used to do before and the video would be visible but now I can't get it to work?

Yes it appears that the fear factor has gone now for teams visiting Old Trafford. It remains to be seen. I for one do not blame Moyes for their current plight as it is a combination of several factors and not just the manager. Most people say that United aren't a team that will chop and change the manager as easily as many clubs like Chelsea or City and I like to think so too but the truth is that no one knows that for sure, in the modern era of the Premier League united have had the best manager there was so they have never had to worry about changing the manager because results weren't going their way. If they fail to finish in the top four this season and win nothing then Moyes won't be sacked but you wonder how much time they will give him. Yes, Fergie was given lots of time and it took him three and a half seasons to win a trophy but the game has changed significantly since then and the implications of missing out on the Champions League are too much to allow that to continue. If that was to happen two seasons in a row then I think it would be the end of Moyes. In my opinion, unless United completely restructure their squad and spend about 200 million on three midfield players and three defenders then they're not going to be challenging for the Premiership title or winning the Champions League. They need investment and they need it now.

I agree. I think it will take a few seasons for him to get where he wants to be and in that time he will continue to have the backing of the board. He needs to get rid of the dead wood in the side first, the likes of Young, Nani and Cleverley before replacing them with some big stars in the midfield which is where they have the biggest problems.

I don't blame Moyes just yet but you wonder how bad things have to get before people do? I really can't see United sacking him even if they win nothing for the next few seasons because he was Fergie's choice but if they win nothing this season and finish mid-table then there will surely have to be a reaction in the form of signing some world class players but I wonder if they're capable of attracting the players that they need now?

The last time I went to Thailand I was told in the travel agents that they don't sell travellers cheques any more because they are phasing them out and that there are very few places that will accept them now. I'm not prepared to pay the exorbitant charges that I get charged by my bank for withdrawing money from an ATM so it looks as if cash and a Thai bank account is the only option for me now.

What a shit hole.

If you want in you have to post a photo of you having sex with a lady boy.

I have a sneaky suspicion that money might be an important factor here.

I don't know why I added that letter h, I meant BUAKHAO.

The interesting thing is that there is no right or wrong way when translating between two languages of this nature because there is no international standard that everyone agrees on, some of the translations I have seen over the years are hilarious. The good thing is that no matter how bad the translations are phonetically, you can nearly always determine the word that the translation is intended to represent. I use Bhuakhao myself, as Idefix says, it tends to be the one you see most often.
