Get the number for NeeRoys in soi chiapoon they deliver (only localy as far as I know)but they charge you only the price you would pay in the shop plus I think 20baht for the bike rider who delivers it to you. PS they do (or did last year )only charge 99 baht for fish and chips

Whilst no being a Curry aficionado I do enjoy one on occasion. My personal favourite is NeeRoys in soi Chaiapoon ,here the lady of the house turns out great curries and great British food .She learned the art of Curry making in Doncaster before returning home to Thailand.The curries are of the sweet kind that I know some dont like but myself and many others do,as well as good curry the prices are very competitive.For any BMs wanting to find this place its just opposite Crazy Daves with a large yellow awning stating, ENGLISH STYLE CURRIES, and is open 1400 until 0400. Enjoy

Not quite that bad as my condo only gets a clean and linen change twice a week.I also dont see that my giving, someone who is alredy paid to do a job, a days pay as a tip is anything but generous. I come from a country that pays its employees a wage and does not expect them to make their living from tips unlike some jobs in the USA.Just to add I am only one of many who tip, so even at my rate the ladies that clean in the condo that I use are very well tipped. PS there are some days when apart from food I don't spend 200Baht

I once flew Delta to Orlando with a stopover in Cincinnati,when I was actually on the plane to Orlando there was an announcement that they were looking for flyer's that would take a bump so some family could fly together .The offer was $700 for each seat ,as there was only myself and my son I took the bump .I was booked on the next flight which was in 4 hours ,they gave us 2x$20 meal vouchers so we sat in the pizza place and watched some sport ,which was what we had planned to do in our Orlando hotel as we were not going to pick up the rental car until the next day. The real point to my story is that I got what was equivalent to £1000 in vouchers for a 4 hour wait on tickets I had paid a little less than £400 on. The best deal in the world as It made no material difference to my holiday.The $1400 was used for 2 flights to SanFransisco and another to LAX.

not even close to 365 a day.check this web site for accurate and up to date (June2008,last increase af far as I know ) http://www.mapfoundationcm.org/eng/news/mi...wage_07_08.html The cleaners in my condo last year got 170 baht for a 10 hour day,I gave them a 200 baht tip at the end of my 3 month stay plus they got all my rubbish which the searched sorted and sold on what they could.

I have to say the 2nd most alternative to comedy was the recent Red Dwarf series which was so alternate it was not funny.How anybody could write up Lister ,Cat ,Crighton,Rimmer and still not be funny is beyond me

I think you should work for the Flying Circus ,as thats the most alternative comedy I have ever heard.

I do not understand ?

Hats off to the witty burglars who stole my entire CD collection with the exception of "There is Nothing Left to Lose" by the Foo Fighters. I hope that when sentencing, the judge takes into account their splendid sense of humour. Chris Scaife, Jesmond * What's all this nonsense about that 66-year-old Romanian woman being the world's oldest mum? My mum's 77. Beat that. * Peter Andre might look smug in all his wedding pictures, but I'd just like to remind him that, as a Playboy reader, I have seen his wife's minge. He hasn't seen my wife's, so who's had the last laugh? P Boddington, Ringway * What's gone wrong with the world today, nowadays I can't even beat the wife about a bit without fear of intervention from social services or even fear of prosecution. It's PC gone mad. * Imagine my shock at getting a letter from my doctor advising me I only had a month to live but thankfully the letter was not for me but for my son with the same name who lives with us. Close call, Yours * What is it with diabetics? One minute they're on the floor with a loved one standing by screaming "Give him some chocolate! Give him some chocolate!" The next day someone offers them a piece of chocolate and quick as a flash they say "No thanks, I'm diabetic." I wish they'd get their story straight. * I HAVE just returned from a diplomatic trip to the Congo and I can testify that at no point did I see anyone drinking Um Bongo. * WHY DON'T NHS bosses start hiring obsessive compulsives as nurses? Their attention to hygiene and constant hand washing would see an end to MRSA outbreaks in no time. * Why is it that pubs wont serve me if Im drunk, but McDonalds continue serving all of them fat f*****s? Its hardly fair. * Never mind ventriloquists like Keith Harris and Roger DeCourcey. What about Professor Stephen Hawking? I saw him on telly blathering on about galaxies for hours and I never saw his lips move once. Genius * How come rap artist Dr. Dre can use the ' N ' word on his multi-million selling albums and win a MOBO award, yet when I used it at my son's football match I was asked to leave the park? Once again, it's one law for the rich and another for the poor * The person who coined the phrase "as different as chalk and cheese" obviously hadn't tasted Kwik Save's cheddar. * They say football is a game of two halves. Not for me it isn't. I regularly down eight or nine pints whilst watching a live game on Sky TV in my local. * If, as Freddie Mercury claimed, fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go round, isn't it about time that the city of Aberdeen received some recognition for its contribution to astrophysics? * In the 20th Century, Britain only made war with countries whose Capital cities began with the letter 'B' - Germany ( Berlin ), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Iraq ( Baghdad ), and Serbia ( Belgrade ). China changed the name of Peking to Beijing and we bombed their embassy.. One hopes we will show a little more imagination in this century. * These so-called speed bumps are a joke. If anything, they slow you down * We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort: as the BBC pointed out, she "bravely remained in London beside her husband" during the war.. This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and p*ssed off, first to France , then North Africa , Italy , France (again) and finally Germany .. The shame will always be with us. * Like the Queen Mum , my grandfather was a frequent visitor to the East End during the dark days of the blitz, but he was never hailed as a hero by the people of London That's possibly because he flew Heinkel bombers for the Luftwaffe. Werner Hoffman, Munich ... * I would just like to say a big thank you to all those wonderful young people who stand on motorway slip roads (and in any weather) holding up boards telling us motorists where they lead to. * Davina McCall says that dangling off a helicopter over the Grand Canyon on a 700 foot bungee rope was the most terrifying and dangerous thing she has ever done. She must be forgetting that she went out with Stan Collymore. * So Sting is able to shag his wife for five hours without going off. I know how he feels. My wife is no oil painting either. * I heard recently that, on average, Alex Ferguson receives two turds in the post each week. What I want to know is, who's sending the other one?

No ,please dont tell me its bad ,as I was told Emirates is a good airline. I am stuck with it now as I cant change the ticket but. I will have the benefit of getting to Pattaya for a couple of months.

Shamas,This reminds me of a stay in hospital I had many years ago I was in for a minor sugical but some of my ward mate had more serious concerns.The problem was that 3 of the guys had had a stomach problem and all were given a large laxitive at the same time.They were all 3 hooked up to a drip on a pole on wheels and told that some exersise would help them overcome any tardiness in the laxitive ,now that in itself is not funny but I watched these 3 guys as they walked in smaller and smaller circles around the ward watching each other like hawks .The reason for this wariness was the fact that there were only 2 cubicles on the ward and the loser in the race for the porcelain would have to go quite a long way to relieve himself or be covered in the brown stuff .As the rest of us on the ward realised what was happening it became our number one interest. I would love to say that there was a great rush by all 3 for the 2 cubicles on offer but in reality the laxative didnt work on 2 of the guys at all and they needed another dose of something ,but the anticipation that they and we felt for that first 30-45 minutes was quite funny ,at least to those only looking on.

Thanks guys ,I do not fancy Jomtiem don't know why I just don't .I always rent a bike as I cant walk very far due to Arthritis and hate relying on busses of any kind.I will probably go with one of the places with a small pool and just put up with it for this trip and try to book a little more in advance than I did this year.

End of april to end of june. isn't view taley in Jomtiem PS I should add I am a cheap charlie and want something around the 10-12000 baht mark

You will probably not get "english" anything in Pattaya but what is on offer is english recipe stuff and that is what you get anywhere not in england as the cost of transporting it is prohibitive.Try it and then complain not the other way round. I would like to add that anyone who thinks Crazy Daves is a good place for Breakfast must drink as much as Crazy Dave ,either that or enjoy eating sawdust maquerading as sausage

Hi, My usual place is seemingly full has anyone got any ideas about a "condo with a good sized pool wanted for 2 months" best location for me would be in or near soi Buakhow.There are loads of places with tiny pools but as I swim a minimum of 1K every day and often 2K a very small pool is boring very quickly,and I dont want to have to go to mikes every day either.Thanks

Good luck ,but why is there never anything on when I am in town .Maybe its because I only come at the end of April.

Hi I just booked a flight from Gatwick to BKK on 28th April for 2 months There are also flights from Heathrow at the same price, I chose Gatwick for flight times ,hope this helps some,I do wish I had made up my mind last month when I saw the £399 Quantas BA non stop flights but hindsight is always 20-20. Just to add the site I used was Opodo

And I am supposed to listen to one self serving politician when he bad mouthes another,get real its all theatre to these guys.

You only have look at how hard it is to get a visa for a Thai girl(or from any other country) to go to the UK for a holiday with her UK boyfriend to see how much harder we make it than do the Thais. I personaly think they do as well as they can be expected to, when you consider we are talking about people who are trying to circumvent their immigration rules.

I think so.

Don't understand your reply as its a return flight that is offered.

BKK flights £399 quantas Ba partnership MUST BOOK BY MIDNIGHT 17th MARCH TO SAVE UP TO £370 ON QANTAS ECONOMY FARES Its on the netflights site

Cheltenham Races A group of primary school infants, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to Cheltenham races to see and learn about thoroughbred horses. When it was time to take the children to the toilet, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's toilet when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal. Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the boys up, one by one, holding their willies to direct the flow away from their clothes. As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring, the teacher said, 'You must be in year four.... in Miss Atkinson's class?' 'No, madam,' he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the 2.15.'

Is the banking industry in for huge bonuses for their recent sterling non performance and compliance with this new law.
