Cheap Hotel in Pattaya 11 USD
JohnnyK replied to Pattison's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I love the idea that the girl costs more than the room. -
Bob Feller could do 99mph in the day. And he got it over the plate. Then followed with a curve that dropped off the table on its way through the strike zone. Whiffed 15 in his first big league start then went back to high school 3 no-hitters, 12 1-hitters and 4 years in the navy when he was 23-26 years old. midlife and joe are right, speed is only one part. Control, strategy and guts are more important.

Just ignore the old pedo. He has nothing to say.

Looks like somebody spent a ton of money to set it up. The decor will certainly encourage punters after a unique ambience. Key money + rent = 17,500/month then more key money after 3 years. Nope!

The Jets were just fuckin' awful. Dumb penalties, no offense whatsoever. Happy to see the Colts take one up the jaxie!

Check the board every day, you can meet up with BMs.

Still trying to clear his head after running into Pacquiao.

m62man, you had a nice life on about 50K/month! Thanks for breaking it down to show how it can be done. Excellent and informative thread guys!

Flew them last xmas to BKK. Good enough, cheaper than EVA but EVA is better. I can read, in-flight entertainment doesn't matter to me so I won't spend more to watch a crap movie on a tiny screen. Airline food is airline food (slop) so that doesn't matter either. CI leaves Vancouver @ 1am so after they clean up the trough I'm ready to pop a melatonin and sleep.

I go to Robin's on soi buakhow. If lard asses smoke up a storm I change my seat. BTW, is there any diff between the buakhow Robin's and the Diana? Haven't been to the Diana one.

Any Thai place. Tell them you want it "phet, phet". They will make sure, there could be a good laff in it for them.

Soi Metro/Soi Bukhao Guest Houses
JohnnyK replied to Cookie Monster's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I spent two nights there in January and found it hugely noisy so I moved. The sound does seem to bounce around a lot. -
I found LK Metro very noisy, small soi and the sound really bounces around. I wouldn't stay on the soi again. Just my 2 satang.

Lots of people didn't like The Boss but he was a good owner. He understod the Yankee tradition of excellence and didn't mind spending to put the best players on the field for his fans instead of just taking their money or bankrupting the club like those assholes have done with ManU. He was a character, not a bean-counter in a suit.

Osama Bin Laden communicates from the cave! Proves he is alive! "England are crap" he says in his message. MI6 dismisses the message saying, "It poroves nothing. It could have been sent any time in the past 44 years."

Flew them first time last year from Vancouver. OK, nothing memorable. I think EVA is better.

Its not aimed at legit tourists. Its aimed at washed-up guys with no dough who may be dodging who-knows-what back home. Losing their few baht won't set Thailand back and may improve the scenery.

I met one guy, maybe a BM here, who does translation work for companies in Europe. Works in his condo during the day, its on the company desk when they arrive in the am and he gets paid falang rates. Its a tight niche but a sweet one.

Train ,3rd class fare to Nong Khai 35bhts for 3 of us,wih Pics
JohnnyK replied to Dr Mick's topic in Expat Issues
Nice! Makes sense for short trips and you aren't in a rush. But we shouldn't be in a rush in Thailand, should we? I haven't met many Thais or had much of a Thai experience in an aircon taxi but horses for courses. I always take a 2nd class air con sleeper for overnights. Cheap and fun. Bogs are nasty but I'm not in there very long! packhike is bang on, avoid the food and buy from the vendors. Cold beer and fried chicken. Aroi! Wait until arrival for brekkie as the train falang brekkie is yuck. -
Maybe but he's past his sell-by date. He'll be a massive drunk after he retires, Gascoigne #2.

They'd be cheered if they landed at Berlin. Some of them are so thick and useless they would probably believe they are a good team.

Hope and horror, that's the UK in the mundial. I don't normally cheer for the USA but on this one I hope they get through and the English crash. The US guys play with some gumption and most are paid relative peanuts compared to Gooney & Co.

The Frenchies haven't done all that bad lately. They won in 1998, won Europe in 2000 and 2nd in the 2006 mundial. They might well have won if that Italian punk hadn't goaded Zidane by calling his sister a whore. The punk knew Zidane is volatile from his days in the Serie A. He got Zidane out because they knew Zizou was totally deadly on a penalty kick and a sure goal. So, despite going out early in the WWII Cup they have done better lately than the Brits who are still fighting WWII and have forgotten how to play soccer.

3 things FIFA should change for the next World Cup
JohnnyK replied to bigdelta's topic in Sports Talk
A good thing I heard was make it illegal to pass the ball back over the centre line to your own zone. It slows everything down. It would put more emphasis on attacking rather then fucking around with pretty shit. Its the World Cup, country vs. country. Guys play for their COUNTRY. No way to assembling a team from anywhere and hoisting your flag. MBL, a total non-starter anyway.
