  1. Excellent The 'pie' one had me thinking. I can see myself using the flintstones one.
  2. Influenced no doubt at an early age by the famous commentary that had everyone in hysterics............ ''The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willy''
  3. I had the laser treatment done about 9 yrs ago...........procedure seems the same.........though i paid 10,000 baht then. Lasts about 6 months.............Mind you I drink red wine and a lot of tea.
  4. In Phuket for me it worked out cheaper and more convenient to do exactly what you suggest. Depending on the siting of your main hotel a little bolt-hole off WS is a great idea.
  5. Park lane have a shuttle 'golf-kart' now to take you to the beach. Though you'd need transport for convenience. I have a friend who's bought there and so I stay quite frequently. It seems a well run organisation. The condos are well appointed. She basically just moved straight in put up some curtains and made the bed and job done. Soi Watboon is also on the up.............a few bars and great value food 'hall'....... Most/all are sold but owners away it's quite peaceful.
  6. i love the Superbowl and was up at 6 am to watch it. had to miss the end due to a thoughtlessly arranged and clashing golf lesson at 10. now don't take this wrong....... it's a personal thing..................but i always groan inwardly when someone fronts up to sing the 'star spangled banner' i know what's coming you see, and half of me goes 'yuck' when it's time for 'whoever' to stamp his/her personal interpretation of the song on us all and.... it's a-warbling-time.............'''oh say can yeuu ooo,ooo,,oooo see.eeeeee bai the dawns.....earleeee laaaaiit'''' then the came
  7. i just read this and was a little put out. i think you need to re-read the submissions in this thread. they've all been helpful or at least well meant as far as i can see. i share responsibility for taking things slightly off-track......that often happens in a thread though and your question was still central to the discussion. i think you may have just misunderstood someone. point out the guilty person here.
  8. i recall an old math's teacher who stood out in 3 respects..............1. for the creased and threadbare shabbiness of his never changing chalk dusted suit.......... 2. for the habit of removing his shoes while he stalked us from the back of the room ready to pounce on any real or perceived furtiveness ........ ....and 3. that on occasions he would feed the pigeons that gathered on the window ledge with fruit-gums.....which was entertaining, if just in it's futility...a wanton waste of fruit-gums in our opinion. the 'fruit-gum-kid' as he was known, taught me that there were 3 ty
  9. .......... i honestly wasn't aware..... but a number of distinguished posters on here seem to be in complete agreement..... that 'average Thais' are paying pfp prices equal to, or greater than, falangs .............. i'd wrongly thought until now you see, that 'average Thais'........ taxi drivers,postmen and the like are mostly getting their 'legs over' on a regular basis buck-shee and often at our expense......... indeed that the 'pattaya-thai-budget' and the 'pattaya-falang-budget' differed fundamentally in this respect. i'd thought that where 'average Thais' 'were' actually paying
  10. thais would also laugh if they were asked to pay a bar fine and long time rates at the falang rate just to get a shag....this is a big cost that it's not necessary for them to consider. but will be a 'necessity' for the op.
  11. that's almost as embarrassing as when i got caught sniffing my mates wife's knickers..........she was wearing them at the time..........it made the atmosphere of the rest of her funeral quite awkward.
  12. never seen any problem. always enough girls to go around. this question comes up every year............. while i can understand the 'average' fat and old monger would feel a bit eclipsed. even a little jealous of the gi's........ just accept that.........pattaya is a theme park you can't have it all to yourself but that even at it's busiest you never have to queue up for the rides. enjoy yourself pat pete......you will still get some 'hello handsome man' comments. re-reading this it looks like i fell off the 'tact scale'.......it is not my assumption that you are old or rot
  13. it's amazing to us what thais don't know.................it's amazing to thais what we don't know. if i asked most non-americans, or even i suspect, some americans what 'Pennsylvania' actually means or Philadelphia for that matter they wouldn't necessarily know. i agree with joe on this one. knowledge doesn't come close to equalling intelligence. and having access to all knowledge doesn't mean we have all the answers it's possible that thais relative lack of 'world knowlege' is the reason why they seem so happy. that and the 20,000 baht they get a month from half a dozen clever fal

  16. my mate in england will buy a load of papers tomorrow and wrap his Aussie work colleague's christmas presents up in them next xmas.
  17. After my second divorce I was looking for a trip to Cuba. I telephoned a mate who was on his way over to see a South African girl he'd met and in her absence had been faithful to for 15 months. She was working in New Zealand. He stopped over in BKK and it was his first day there when I called him. "Hi Lad how's BKK?' " A Shit-hole........ A sewer with 15 millon people living on it. It stinks and I can't wait to get out."......... He continued along the same lines and developed his theme for 15 emphatic minutes. I was left in no doubt that Thailand was a place to avoid at all costs.
  18. hopefully the gay remarks by 'seeping bladder' will see him off into a much over-due retirement.

    world cup

    an article i just read makes the points that as far as england's bid was concerned what is most embarrassing is that we courted, toadied , licked every crevice and wrinkle of sep bladders arse and played fifa on their own corrupt and crawling terms. kow towing and craven. we had our prince, and our prime minister grovelling like gollum. fifa wanted no forex checks or charges on any currency brought in to the uk ...........sacks of untraceable cash. we a 'greed' of-course. did us no good and serves us right....som nam na england. he makes the point that only australia's bid lost by more i
