  1. Calum, Did you spot Little Brian's idea about supplying just the badges for those of us who are in shape. Sounds good to me if it's possible. Round IS a shape.
  2. Excellent!
  3. That's exactly what happened the last 2 times I used him. There won't be a 3rd.
  4. I saw it coming and I still had to click on it.
  5. Never mind the topless TGs, that's never going to happen. When is Winglady back in town?
  6. It wouldn't matter if she fell over, she'd bounce.
  7. The Orbit one is better than I was using. Thanks.
  8. Not Martin, you missed this bit at the top of the forum; "This forum contains articles written and published by Duncan Stearn. PattayaTalk simply reprints the articles for your enjoyment.".
  9. That's a part of http://empornium.us/ Sign up there and you can download the videos using torrents. They've got almost every type of legal pron.
  10. This http://www.redtubedownload.info/ works for a lot of sites, though not all.
  11. Thanks, I was on a seriously old version. At least this new one has an update check built in.
  12. Move the fun bars, fine, no problem, I'll go there instead. Just as long as they don't close them.
  13. ABTA/ATOL are associations for travel agents. By booking direct with the airline you're not using a travel agent, so they don't apply. I don't know the website but have flown the route that you mention (a few years ago now), it's not 5* but acceptable. If the price and times work for you, go for it. One thing though. NEVER. USE. A. DEBIT. CARD. ON. THE. INTERNET. Credit cards give you some protection if something goes wrong, Debit cards don't. If someone manages to get hold of your card details, they can clean that account out and you're basically stuffed.
  14. Fare £74.00, tax £276.20. Shiiiiit!
  15. Those small kettles go from 200baht in Big C. Buy one and give it to your last nights tilac when you go home.
  16. Can it handle Indian tailors?
  17. I've stayed there on my last 2 trips. No gym, but it's in walking distance of most places around mid Soi Bukhaow/Soi LK Metro/Diana and on the baht bus route as well - most bus's go towards Pattaya Thai though, you may have a wait if you're heading the other way. Rooms are roomy enough and adequately furnished. They're cleaned twice a week but the whole place has seen better days. Don't misunderstand me, it's good value and everything is clean and works, but 5 star it isn't. I would recommend a room on the front side (facing the pools) as they get the breeze, also IMO, the higher the better. The staff are friendly and helpful but do tend to close the office early sometimes, bear this in mind if all your money is in the safety deposit in there! It's the only place I've stayed where, although I saw only Thai staff, they did preventative maintenance - normally without a fallang in charge that just doesn't happen. Security is at the entrance to the estate and is usually on the ball, ID cards are checked, if a girl hasn't got one they will still let her in, but you have to sign surety for her. I'm changing for my next trip because I want an in-room safe and wifi - Soleil de Siam has neither. Also, being a fat bastard, I dislike the 23 steps UP to the lift (23, I counted them - every time! ). Soleil de Siam is a company that rents out a lot of the condos on the Diana Estate, they don't have the exclusive contract, you can rent from elsewhere as well. As I understand it, if someone has a condo there and isn't using it, they will rent it out for you and take a cut, how big a cut I have no idea. Does this help?
  18. Tell me about it! I'm in Snozzel.
  19. "This video has been removed by the user." That was fast then.
  20. Agreed, I first saw a cartoon version of it in Bike magazine about 35 years ago.
  21. 3 languages in one sentence! Impressive.
  22. Phoned them this morning. No cheap flights for April yet and maybe not at all "Easter busy time" £830. For flights to Bangkok???? I don't think so. They've got the website working now BTW. I don't think they knew it wasn't working for April until now. Still looking.......................
  23. If you train them right, maybe they could dig you a tunnel to LOS. Back on subject, I'm looking to go out at Easter (April 10) and return on the 3rd of May (including 3 Bank Holidays in my trip helps stretch out my leave allowance). I CANNOT persuade Eva's website to give me a price, it keeps saying "We’re sorry! There is no available fare to fit your itinerary. Please contact us for assistance." but the contact us link doesn't work. I'll have to revert to old technology, what was it called again???? Oh yes, a phone.
  24. It won't be a surprise now, you've told us.
