I'm going to agree with you for a change, far more shit don't stink at a reduced price opportunities the earlier we get these pole hugging venues closed for the night.

Hello again forum friends. It's about time we discussed how different nationalities act whilst visiting the kingdom and it has to be said that 'generally speaking', Americans are far better for Thai tourism than the shower of shit that is Europe. Now I'm an English cunt with a wee bit of Scottish blood coursing through my veins, I used to feel staunchly patriotic but often realised that my own fellow English men act like complete twats once they had a few beers. It's totally embarrassing, I'd often feel offended when Americans pointed out where there's English, there's trouble, but in truth they are right most of the time. Londoners seem to be the most arrogant of all, many Thai women have asked me why I don't say the 'fuck' word every five seconds and why I don't act like a bad man, I'd asked them where in England the guys acting like this were from, 'London' was always a common answer, sorry cockneys but I'm not lying here. So how the hell can I be so nice and respectful to the Thai people when my fellow countymen act like such wankers abroad? Maybe I was raised in Texas and shipped here at a later date? You really do not see many incidents of violence involving the Americans, the last one I heard of was the death of that Marine at the hands of an English kickboxer bloke, I'm willing to bet the English guy started the conflict back in that bar, what he did later to that Marine was disgraceful. Americans can be quite vocal while partying but in a friendly way, you don't see them instigating conflict, testament to this is how utterly well behaved those guys on Cobra Gold exercises are, I've no doubt my own armed forces would probably tear Pattaya town in two on the first night. Just how hard is it to be a positive person in this life, with a pleasant attitude and be respectful to others? This is what I notice about American people in general, you have to look very hard to find the cynical and sarcastic, negative mindset I find here in England, Americans really don't like to talk down about people either, what they call 'ball busting', we call 'piss taking' and Americans seem to frown upon this. Kudos to them for that. I realise I'm a cynical cunt at times, I'm sure some of you here may have noticed, but am I a product of my surroundings? That's quite possible. In my other fantastic and awesome thread I talked about how I would want to cater to the Americans should I ever run a business in Thailand, I wasn't joking about that. Here's why. 1) Americans are well behaved while in Thailand 'generally speaking and certainly more so than other nationalities'. 2) Americans know how to party in style, moaning about price every 5 secs certainly isn't on the agenda. 3) They treat the girls with respect, many Thai ladies have told me Americans are less likely to bullshit them regards..sponsorship, marriage, they come good for them more often than lying sleazeball Europeans who only care about their own sexual needs, hardly ever about the 'rag doll' they spunked into the night before. If I owned a bar, I would want 'my girls' to be treated with the kind of respect that seems to come as standard from American men, French and Italian are probably high in the slimeball stakes, always cheating and lying, my fellow English men bullshit them a lot too, according to many conversations I've had anyway. 4) Americans are a positive bunch, must be their schooling that teaches that, the world is about to end here in England, sunshine in the states, doom and gloom over here, I reckon if I was surrounded by such positive people then it;s bound to rub off. Nuff said. So that's it, Americans are good for Thailand, the rest of us are not it would seem. Anyone agree or disagree?

I stay in soi 14 and use a metal coat hanger to 'zip line' to safety across power lines. I like the buzz of uncertainty.

One thing I got out of this was good sportsmanship all round, very unlike football with it's cheating, whining etc.....also, the Scots, English, Welsh and Irish all seemed to be unified, should be like that in other sports too.

Same here, although self/sex obsessed buffoons will tell you 'there's nothing to do' in Chiang Rai/Mai. Most of them need their little Pattaya security blankets...awww bless...widdy woo. Mae Jo (20k north of Chiang Mai) is worth a visit.

Think this answer could be more realistic. And here's the evidence........'Gary', couple of ''cambo cuties'', as supplied by Papinonce for his fellow young side of the red light fellow apologists to drool over.

I heard he flosses with ladyboy hair.

Hello My Big Big Honey makes interesting reading. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hello-My-Big-Honey/dp/0867194731

I brush using tap water and a paste form of imodium.

New mobile phone, Ipod, Booze, Hookers.

Do they have a bowling alley?

Isn't is the away grounds you're meant to cause trouble at / get kicked out of?

Why the rolleyes Villa? His observations are good no? Well done at the weekend b.t.w, that was a much needed 3 points.

So shameful that they quite often hold their own against big names in football, yeah, you really know about the game don't you.

I wouldn't say that was depressing news at all. That coach knows what he's doing, he may even bring along some of the better American players into the bargain, can't see that harming Villa's chances any more than now.

I just googled terms like 'which sports teams are the most profitable' and NY Yankees never came back as the answer. Here's something more up to date (July 22 2010) for you. http://www.shelbystar.com/articles/panther...orbes-17th.html Do you have any data we could see which backs up what you say about the Yankees being the most profitable?

Some people really are as thick as whale soup.

Here's one soruce tell me the Redskins are the most profitable. http://uk.askmen.com/sports/business_200/2...s_business.html Number 5 Houston Texans Profit: $57.6 million This NFL’s expansion franchise filled the void in Houston that the Oilers created when they bolted to become the Tennessee Oilers (and later the Titans). However, all’s not well in Houston; the city that once hosted a perennial playoff team is now home to a high-priced flop that compiled 56 losses in the five-year period between 2002 and 2006. Despite their lack of success on the gridiron, the Texans are big winners in the profit-loss game. They had $222 million in revenue in 2005, according to Forbes, and an operating income of $57.6 million, the second-highest in the NFL. Player expenses totaled $100 million. Gate receipts at Reliant Stadium -- home of the biggest naming rights deal in American pro sports -- brought in $44 million. This stadium is a real field of dreams for owner Robert McNair; premium seating alone is worth $40 million a year. Reliant Energy inked a 32-year, $300 million deal to put its name on the Texans’ stadium. Major corporate sponsors include giants such as Verizon Wireless, Miller Brewing, Siemens, Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, and Ford Motor Company. McNair’s $700 million investment to buy the team is certainly paying off: The Texans are now worth a little more than $1 billion. Number 4 FC Bayern Munich Profit: $62 million With a proud history that includes four European Championship League titles and 20 championships in the German League, you could say FC Bayern Munich is a genuine powerhouse in Deutschland. The club is also a heavyweight from a financial standpoint; it’s worth $838 million -- about as much as the Indianapolis Colts. In the 2005-06 season, FC Bayern Munich had $262 million in revenue and an operating income of $62 million, according to Forbes. That had to come as welcome news to corporate behemoth Adidas-Salomon AG, which owns the team. With a total of more than 132,000 members, Bayern Munich is the third-largest membership-based club in the world. Number 3 Real Madrid Profit: $83 million On the field and on the balance sheets, Real Madrid is the real deal. The franchise is Spain’s most successful team, with a record 30 titles in La Liga and nine European Champions cups in the trophy case. This club, which was founded in 1902 with modest beginnings, is now worth $1.03 billion. During the 2005-06 season, Real Madrid brought in $374 million and posted a profit of $83 million, according to Forbes. The list of corporate sponsors kicking cash toward the club includes Adidas, Audi, Telefonica, Kellogg, and Mini Babybel cheese. Real Madrid’s home field -- Estadio Santiago Bernabeu -- can hold 80,000 rabid soccer fans, and that adds to the club's bottom line. Number 2 Manchester United Profit: $92 million Under U.S. ownership and with fans around the globe, Manchester United is more than just an English sensation. Marketing the club to an international fan base has made Man U the richest soccer team in the world. Just one year before Manchester United won its 16th English league championship, the team made a total of $310 million with a profit of $92 million. The on-field success and very high value as a marketing commodity led Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer to buy the team in 2005. His hot property is now worth $1.4 billion. Nike, Audi, Budweiser, Betfred, and Century Radio are sponsors of Man U, but, in November 2005, Vodafone ended its four-year, $71.5 million sponsorship deal. However, about five months later, AIG stepped up to become the next shirt sponsor, agreeing to a record, four-year, $112 million deal. Number 1 Washington Redskins Profit: $108.4 million On the field, NFL teams aren’t exactly kneeling before the Redskins, but the team’s ability to make money is definitely worthy of admiration. Even though they haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1991, the Skins are NFL champs in financial terms. In 2005, the team had revenue of $303 million and a $108.4 operating income, which led all the major pro sports teams. Daniel Snyder, who bought the franchise in 1999, has done more than OK on his investment; he paid $750 million for the Redskins and the club is now worth $1.4 billion. Since purchasing the team, he has added 10,000 seats to FedEx Field, making that stadium the league’s largest. 800 of those seats are premium loge and cost about $400 per game, but the average ticket price is $68 and garnered $85 million at the gate in 2005. Parking is no bargain at FedEx either; it costs $35 per game to rest your heap. The team’s corporate sponsor list includes Siemens, E*Trade Bank, Sprint Nextel, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America.

Mine is the Irish word 'Banjaxed'. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=banjaxed Phrase would be 'suck it up', not sure on the origins other than urban dictionary saying it comes from the military but Americans often say .suck it up and deal with it', or something similar. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?...&defid=2690

Yes I have it on good authority that Meakong has in fact shut down, Mekong, on the other hand, is still going strong.

I think this would be a much better thread if Villa reveals who the pm's are from.

Get an Apple Mac, combine it with Apple Safari and grow a beard, then you can be all 'niche'.

Perhaps try windows update, if you still have problems perhaps uninstall IE completely then download again.

I think you have some kinda virus, get some cream on it.
