How did they register them? As for the bike in the OP - given that the bike has been "tweeked a little", my only concern would be how it's been driven.

On the evidence of this thread, we have one (reasonably recent) satisfied customer - BigDUSA. The same guy who gave you that other extremely reliable taxi bloke, Alex.

Apart from the fact they are of pretty crap quality they don't do too many large frames. I'd be inclined to buy a half-decent bike and sell it on at the end of my stay.

It appears that Moyes is the choice after waiting patiently all these years. Would be nice if he brought Fellaini and Baines with him.

Notwithstanding that steamer wrote "call service", not "car service company", there are loads. Most of the vehicles have yellow number plates and others simply have green number plates. Pattaya is full of one version of them.

You've already mentioned that (although I don't think that IHOP is in Thailand yet). The best place in Pattaya (or LOS) for (Pacific) salmon is what I'm after. In the meantime, I'm off to Sizzler to renew my annual membership. The description I used was, "I reckon it's consistently good value for money - certainly the branches in Thailand operated by Minor Food." What alternatives do you reckon are worth a visit?

Amateurs. You've still to tell us where the best place in Pattaya is that serves Wild Pacific Salmon.

And? I didn't for one minute think that it was Pacific salmon they were catching in The Outer Hebrides. Which restaurants do you recommend in Pattaya for salmon? I think the Sizzler promo has just finished ...

Going to be announced in the Queen's Speech this pm?

Probably means Vasu .... as you say, you're not going to be getting anything near 50 THB/GBP.

Why all the personal attacks, Sam? FFS, it's a bit of footie banter and his opinion is as valid as anyone's - yours included.

I know, but the games are irrelevant as far as the Premier League form is concerned.

They've played each other twice in the Premier League and won one game each and scored/conceded the same number of goals (three). Apparently the referee in the first game was a racist.

By a combination of sponsors invitations and qualifying, Ariya has just completed her fourth LPGA tournament, the Kingsmill Championsip. In those four tournaments she has recorded a 2nd, a 3rd and two 4ths (and collected over USD 400K in prizemoney. Not bad for a 17 year-old rookie.

The USAF guy has his own channel on youtube and uploaded a shortened version of the video (and others) there.

The video has been lifted from an ex-USAF guy's site that I posted a link to a while back.

Which bank? 46.45 is a good rate at the moment - around 1 Baht more than what was on offer at Kasikorn and Bangkok Banks.

Not if you sport a 24" inside leg.

Sorry, they've already gone.

Not my problem. That said, I get most of my shirts/trousers made to measure locally (Thai tailor) and alterations are normally no more than 100 Baht. From memory, I can recall a couple of good seamstresses in Pattaya on Pattaya Tai.

They all have a drawstring waistband. I'm sure they could be taken in if you had a decent enough tailor(ess). That said, the black pair have a mesh lining (the blue pairs are unlined).

want some genuine Adidas tracksuit bottoms? I was stocking up on some decent kit from UK and ended up with three pairs of Adidas tracksuit pants that are of no use to me. Rather than just chuck them out, I'll send them to any BM who is based in Thailand (and who is reasonably active on the board). The pants are all 40" waist and made of climacool material. Two navy blue/white pairs are British Lions, and one black/red pair is Munster Rugby Club. They are all in original Adidas packaging with all tags still attached. PM me if you're interested.

And Wenger? PSG or Arsenal? It must be tempting if the reports are accurate.

There appears to be lots of availability on short stopovers ... book on Etihad's website.
