new link added - sorry!!

I have blatantly nicked this from another forum, but definitely worth watching!!!

I think this was possibly posted on this board recently? Not sure, but I've definitely seen it before. KM

Page 5 from the UK. i'll pick up my beer in January KM

Well, although they didn't play brilliantly, that BIG worry is behind them and they are 5 points to the better in their group. And as ex winners of the World Cup in 2003, they absolutely do have the right to approach this with confidence. KM

Why? What would you call them? KM

Are you looking to rent?

Enjoy your flight!!!! https://youtu.be/ji65WI5QLZI KM

Atlas I have a Macbook Pro and a Kindle and they both work fine together. KM

In the UK she would have been decked as soon as she made the first kick. KM

can you get that on prescription? KM

Never heard of it - is it an American drug for Americans? KM

I went to the Two Lions based on this thread the other night. It was about 7.30 and there were 4 other guys in there. My partner and I both ordered prawn cocktail and a cheeseburger and chips. When the prawn cocktail arrived it only contained 4 small prawns. The salad within the glass was layered in such a way that you could not mix it up and basically could only eat a layer at a time. So you started with your 4 small prawns, followed by thick slices of tomato, then thick onion slices, then a large clump of lettuce. The cocktail sauce was not a large portion though, and only just about covered the prawns. So all in all, not overly happy with the starter. The cheeseburger was a similar affair. Lots of salad stuff but very little burger. The burger itself was only just about warm and very disappointing, but on the plus side the chips were hot! During the whole time we were there the 4 other guys were talking as if they were at opposite sides of Pattaya - EXCEPTIONALLY LOUD! They were so loud you couldn't hold a normal conversation yourself and they pretty much sucked the oxygen out of the room!!. To sum up, we found the food to be poor, the ambiance created by these other guys even poorer and I'm afraid to say we won't be going back no matter how good the pizza may be. Shame really. KM

He sounds like a 'doctor' I wouldn't go to. The temperature of beer in Thailand is not massively different from UK beers and for it to affect the stomach in the way you have described would intimate to me that you would need to drink large amounts (as in huge gulps) very quickly as it will be warmed by your 'internals' on the way down. If it was so uncomfortably cold to drink, you'd pause your drinking for a few minutes, right? Personally I've never come across any beer in Patts that is as cold as you describe. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I found more often than not, the beer isn't cold enough. KM

Who cares?

Well, looking out my window, the sky is very grey, the forecast is rain, the temperature is in single figures and i have a 200 mile drive ahead of me. On the plus side, I'm going to see my first grand daughter (already got 3 grandsons), born just 4 weeks ago! And in 4 weeks time I'll be in Patts!!! KM

The first one you mentioned is now a market, because Pattaya is very short of markets!! If you head from the Dolphin roundabout towards Sukhumvit along Pattaya Nua, there's a petrol station on the left. KM

Sam, when you click on the 'quote' button, the text from the quoted post will appear in a box. Your cursor will be flashing just beneath it on the left. At that point you can just start typing your reply. Once you've finished your response, just click 'post' and both the quoted post in the box and your own text will appear in your new post. Hope that helps. KM

Rhino, I hired a m/bike in Chiang Mai in November and they gave me an option of leaving a cash deposit instead of my passport. The roads up into the mountains are good for proper biking. Good wide sweeping bends and the road surface pretty good until you get to the top, but even that isn't too bad. Their helmets were shit though!! KM

Guys It was a joke in the Funnies Section - chill out!!! KM

You can. If you have a 'chipped' passport. At Heathrow you just go the the automated desk, place your passport on the 'reader' and you're done. that's it. No questions, no further validation by a human - simples! KM

Err, yes - it is! i used it last year and found it a little strange. First of all, instead of going to a normal check in you have to use an automated checkin system that may or may not issue a boarding pass. then regardless of getting a boarding pass you still have to use a normal checkin for your baggage. Now, they probably use this system to reduce manpower, but they have someone available at each of the automatic checkins and then you go to normal checkin anyway, so actually doubling the manpower!! KM

When you're drunk you think you can do anything. You feel more relaxed and your thinking skills are impaired. You think you can drive the 'short' distance home - "I'll just ride really slowly and very carefully," you think, whilst giggling about the idea, completely forgetting that if you ride too slow your balance can be impaired too as you need forward motion to maintain balance. 'Morning after' riding/driving is affected in the same way. You think that because you haven't had a drink for 3 hours and you've had a little snooze, you'll be ok. The fact you were on the piss for several hours prior to that is forgotten as again the alcohol makes you feel relaxed and your thinking skills impaired. KM

He should have gone to Thailand on holiday before he decided on getting a facelift. Plenty of girls would have saved him a fortune and tell him 'you hansum man'!! Mind you, they might have cost him a fortune too!! KM
