hits U bastard After buying on the way down and in the 30s, my break even for the stock is around 63-64. fucking merryl lynch and their 5% When it hits 100 again the 3 hour Poseiden suite is on me (maximum 2 birds)

Nice! Lets see that stock go up!

Way to fuck a positive thread. More bad info from you, BTW. Sara has the cheap ones also, but there is clearly a difference in quality in some of the higher priced knock offs and the joke of a rolex you buy on soi 7 for 800 baht. You really are a fountain of bad information.

You sure it is not 4-2-1? What about the tie?

To answer the OP, if you go upstairs you are purely on your own with negotiating, which some are not up to after 25 hours of travel. The official taxi stand is downstairs, outside by the curb with a table and queue set up. I think I paid $1,400 baht last times which included tolls. I have always had a new car and never had a problem with directions, but I always print a map of the hotel and telephone number in Thai. It's nice to know these taxis most likely have the proper insurance and also saves a walk to the garage.

I've always seen the LA/west coast costs as lower than east coast; remember, almost all airlines fly west to LOS. 981 for SA with taxes is a great price these days, IMO. Top 3 airline every year.

And stay in hostels like the skyslop, chase balloons and buffet lines to stretch your meal budget, and beat the bush for your 1,000-baht price point. Not a way I would want to live. I've seen where Tom stays and had several meals with him over the last 6-8 years. There's never been a free buffet or a place lower than a 4* hotel in the lot. His view of "roughing it" is negotiating a LT rate at the Nirvanna Place in Jomtien or a high-rise serviced apartment in Bangkok. He also doesn't have fly anywhere, he lives in Thailand at a high standard, many years and at a younger age when you "claimed" you were going to do it. Oh, I forgot, it's the political instability.

and living off your wife and a meager pension (much of it based on a fraudulent disability claim), living in a shoebox in philly, driving around in a low-end hatchback, stayin at the Skyslop, and relying on free buffets for your meals. That sure sounds like the sweet life.

I think the chilli is the best thing on the menu, and I've been there prolly 75 times over the last 9 years. A "cup" with the cheese on top and soft tortillas for dipping is a meal itself. TIT though, and could suck tomorrow. Anyone know if the heavy ap jit Thai with the pony tail is still the cook? Or if Kat is still the manager? The margaritas are good too, 10% off with the PSC card and they will make you one to go in a big plastic cup.. Had many a great morning playing golf early, then to TR for a few margaritas, and then to TQ1 around 2 or 3. I used to book a suite at the Eastinny Place 17th floor on a regular basis for around 1400-1600 baht, and would just drop my clubs off. Hub

I am sure there are many rulings that don't result in sanctions. So am I to understand that the WTO ruling had no merit based on the facts presented? Thats what I take from your post; it was just a farce dreamed up by the USA in which the WTO co-conspired, in order to spoon-feed the false results to the ignorant, gullable American public. Seems a bit "one-sided", wouldn't you say? At least thats what Fox News says, what else am I to think?

Tom: As documented here and exampled by the incident that caused BA to lose the tanker deal in the first place, BA has had it's fair share of piccadilos; however, why is the WTO ruling a "charade"? I am not saying that BA is not trying to use the ruling as a political football, but that does not neccesarily invalidate the WTO ruling.

BA stocks have taken a nice turn upward (for a change). For purely selfish reasons, I hope they get the US tanker deal. If they do, whilst simultaneously lanching (finally) the dreamliner, I think the stocks will go up 15-20%. The current WTO ruling on airbus subsidies only turns up the political heat to award BA the contract. Fingers crossed. When the World Trade Organization issued its long-awaited ruling Sept. 4 supporting U.S. claims that the European consortium that makes Airbus planes received improper government subsidies, many media pundits viewed the ruling as both a setback for Airbus as well as the tinder for a potential trade war between the U.S. and the European Union.

Not sure if I am included in your subset of posters you are refering to, but I am not trying to take the Thai out of anything or change anything in my wife. We do give her mother money when we visit but are focused on our family here and her mother would just piss away anything we sent on gambling/clothes/gold. It was my wifes decision last year not to lend her brother 2K baht, I think he is a pretty good guy but she didn't want to set a precedent. My wife has said if we move to Thailand the pressures will be much greater. I don't think my wife was thrilled with her mom when she went back to visit and there wasn't even dish soap or new underwear for the kid, while her mom had new gold and a closet full of new clothes, never mind when we picked him up his sneakers were two sizes small.. Good for my wife for finally severing that tie a little with her mother. I got an email last year from my son's Spanish teacher. The kids were all discussing "things they do on their own" and my son told the whole class about how his grandmother disappeared for two day playing cards without warning him and he took care of himself. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I wouldn't care if my wife wanted to send a bit of cash over once in awhile. Like I said, she has her own job also so has a say in what money goes where, even though she relies on me for most of that. I have to admit my wife is more independent now than she was, but luckily nothing like the farang version and it doesn't have anything to do with "manufacturing" anything.

I don't mind being generous to my wife - she deserves it. Just not to her family.

My wife has a fulltime job here in the USA. We don't send any money to Thailand for support, but will give her mother some when we are there. When my son was living with my mother-in-law in Thailand and we were waiting for his visa, we sent 11,000 per month (we paid his school directly). Unfortunately, the mother in law mispent the money, she had a full closet of clothes and gambled, and wouldn't buy even basic household items or a pair of sneakers for the kid.

Stock down almost 9% , just when I was recovering value (bought a bunch more in the 30s)

I think thats great. One less entitled theiving blonde c^&t.

It's funny, but I remember you trying to get me to bet on some nag last year.

What was the name of that moronic BM that used to recommend the Woraburi all the time? The brit that lived in Fance and collapsed a wall on himself?

Hey, we agree Gabor! Even a broken clock is right twice a day!!

It was 4th. Since finding out there is no chance of bumping into you there, it might have moved up a few notches.

You are full of it Pap. To each his own, and if you don't prefer the place, "up to you". But don't tell me why I like it. Have had some great times there, including some great barfines up until last November.
