  1. The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term was ' Political Correctness '. The winner wrote: 'Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.'
  2. You can try fishing of the commercial fishing pier that is just off soi 14 naklua rd(I think),its the same soi as the sanctuary of truth and also has some sea food places there as well. I find that the fishing is pretty poor no matter where you fish in Pattaya but a good day out can be had if you get the right boat and the right companions. A heavy set of gear is not required in Pattaya and the lightweight tackle that (most of) the boats provide is more than adequate .
  3. Hi All, I looked at the Tycoon this year while I was on holiday and found the noise of some disco or other was so loud that even in the rooms at the back of the hotel I thought that the music was to loud even with the door closed . I also think that the small room shown to me was way to small for any length of stay more than a week, the pool is also very small and of no real use to anyone who actually wants to swim .
  4. I can only sat that the ex rare is now almost a full baht more per pound since I came to LOS on the 23rd of april.The ex rate is ( I just found out, Do I feel stupid)different in different banks and can be as much as a quarter of a baht more in banks in ther same soi. It pays to shop around as even on a modest ammount of pounds yo can get a little more baht for your money
  5. Hi Emil ,They did say in their email ,level 1 so I took that to be the ground floor,although I did try the second floor when I did not see the woman,for second floor I mean the british first floor and there was no sign there either. I ended up on the actual ground floor ,no matter what they call it here , and that was where I found the Government Bus. I do get confused about what floor they mean here as it is automatic to think in the way I was brought up to think about which floor is which.
  6. Unfortunately I did not get to use the Bell service and to be honest I don't know if I or they were at fault ,but I arrived at the ground floor and gate 7 as advised and could not find any lady or any sign saying Bell.After I hung around for about 10 minutes ,being constantly harrassed by Taxi touts ,one of them ,yes a taxi tout showed me the bus stand just inside door 8 on the ground floor where the Government busses seats are sold and as there was a bus leaving at 0915 I used that service instead.The price was 106 baht ,but that works out more expensive as when you get to pattaya you then h
  7. For what its worth ,and that may be little as everyone is different,I would not have Knee surgery again unless I was in such pain I could not walk as when I had Knee surgery for cartlidge and bone chip removal , Arthritis based. 1) I was in bed for 3 days 2) I was of work for 13 weeks. I did have a very physical job at the time. 3) I had more pain after the op than before 4) My life changed so much because of the lack of mobility and the pain. I would only now consider further Knee surgery as a last resort.
  8. I am sorry to say that I for one do not believe this Email is real.I have known some Aussies in my life and To be perfectly honest I don't believe any Aussie would ever talk themselves down in this fashion ,they are a very proud Nation with a great Marshall history ,Albeit short, and are inordinately proud of their Country. PS this is not trying to put down the USA, just my opinion of the reality of the Email
  9. AFAIK There are very few places in Pattaya that actually have Ovens. PS It takes 20 to 30minutes to heat a pie properly in an oven and many blokes don't want to wait that long ,whether in the UK or Pattaya
  10. They at the very least reply quickly to Emails as I have recieved a quick reply with(Clear) instructions of where to find them at the Airport.More soon
  11. Have just in the last minute sent them an Email so as I arrive in a little under 48 hours I will post a message letting you all know how I get on ,as I have always used the Taxis in the past.
  12. Elderly Foreplay The first old woman told the second old woman that sometimes she gets her husband excited at night by getting totally naked, lying in bed and putting both legs behind her head, yoga style. The second old woman thought that this was a great idea, so that night when her husband went in the bathroom to get ready for bed, she got totally naked and began the process of putting her legs behind her head. The first leg was kind of tough to put in place as she was a bit arthritic. However, she finally got it in place. She had an even tougher time with the second leg, s
  13. I cant see any problems unless you are lager louts and make a lot of noise before you are booked in.Have you booked or are you turning up and hoping. PS you are not of legal age to drink in Thailand but like here you probably will get away with it.
  14. The Pattaya bay resort might suit you if you can get one of their studio rooms at the cheaper price of (I think) 20,000 baht a month . these rooms have all you need including flat screen TVs
  15. Arriving 24th april on an Ethiad flight EY402 - 0735. anyone want to share taxi to Patts. If I get no takers I might just try the bus ,but I am a lazy sod so I might not.
  16. I wonder why this is the second thread/ post about these apatments in just a few days, would it not be better in the buisiness section.
  17. This guy should have been promoted ,not fired.
  18. didn't work yesterday but does today,don't know what the fcuk is up with my machine.
  19. I flew Qatar last year and they had new Airbusses (I think) on both legs, which had seat back entertainment.
  20. This is one of the reasons that the "greens" dont want bio fuels as it will put food prices up.I hope the Alaska story on another thread is true ( though I will reserve judgement for the time being)and we have loads more oil in reserve than all the doomsayers are admiting.
  21. I love the look and the price of the house (I am a bit disturbed by the pink walls ,it's a personal thing)I would like to know though ,why is there a pillar in the living room?is it structural ,and if so why not use an RSJ for support .
