  1. I wouldn't panic. The avian flu hasn't mutated so that it can spread through human contact. It is spreading in Asia because of the close proximity of humans to chickens who have been infected. Just stay away from live poultry while traveling in Asia.
  2. Thanks for the post. Barely heard about Gilligan, didn't even here about Max. All you hear in the news in the States these days is hurricane damage. Funny thing . . . they are producing a new version of Get Smart for American television. If it doesn't have Mel Brooks and Buck Henry writing the show, it won't be funny. Don Adams was a classic. We will miss him.
  3. I laughed so hard when I saw this photo of work completed on 9/23/05. http://www.suvarnabhumiairport.com/databas...627IMG_5696.jpg If those are the workers, this isn't going to be completed for another 5 years.
  4. For those in the FLB NFL Fantasy Football League - I now know why my team sucks (and I thought it was the piss poor outing by QB Daunte Culpepper and K Matt Stover): A Message from ESPN.com Dear Fantasy Football Fan, I want to let you know that everyone at ESPN.com shares your frustration with the early season technical problems with our Fantasy Football application. I appreciate very much that you have chosen to play Fantasy Football with us and we value our relationship with you - fan to fan. I want to apologize to you for the problems we've had and assure you that we are doing e
  5. Thanks Ed - I will be the first to admit that I am totally clueless about EPL . . . still. I'm in Vegas right now, and the Golden Nugget would be happy to hear that, after I won $400 betting on Chelsea this weekend. Couldn't believe they have lines on the EPL, but they do. I met a few Scots and Brits when I placed my bet. I'm assuming a few of them were Scots as I only understood about 1 out of every 3 words they spoke. BTW - I didn't intentionally forget Shilo's Prowlers, the computer I'm using in Vegas won't let me cut and paste, so that was a hand-transcribed standings report. I'm
  6. I know I'm going to get hell for this, but here goes. Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm in 1st place. You Brits let a Yank get into first place. Next thing you know, I'll be trying to buy Manchester United. Here's the standings for all interested: 1) Zaphod's Buggers 164 2) Dundee United 160 3) Sangsom Reds 158 4) 5150 150 4) Pattaya Hammers 150 6) Mister Christopher 148 6) Sin City 148 8) 11 Caras 143 9) Geeshole town 140 10) easy st utd 135 12) Pieman's Pride 128 13) ipswich town 120 14) Walking St Rovers 119 15) Bang Kwang FC 118 16) The Septic Tanks 116 17) FLB City 105 18) Clampi
  7. I'm in for 1000 baht. Zaphod's Buggers
  8. No reason, I guess I just forgot about hot dogs, including sausages. I've seen some good discussions about English bangers in prior posts. But again, it's all over the place. The question is, should there be one forum to discuss these issues. C'mon, there's more to life than
  9. I enjoy reading all the posts about where to get the best food: i.e., steak, hamburgers, pizza, etc. That way, when I visit Pattaya, I can quickly access a discussion for suggestions on where to eat or drink. What are the thoughts on this board of creating a forum for restaurants/bars (no BG or "hands free" talk, just pure gastronomical and imbibing delights)?
  10. "zb" would be fine. Team Zaphod's Buggers is in place and ready to kick some ass, or get their butts whomped.
  11. Put me in for 1000 baht. Which league is this anyway? I'm totally baffled, and don't have a clue what I'm doing, but WTF - it will give me a reason to drink beer and act silly. +++:beer++:beer+=:beer Zaphod's Buggers
  12. I'm getting set to book a flight to LOS later this year. When I try to book Thai Airways non-stop LAX-BKK, I'm getting quotes from $1700-$2500. This just isn't competitive when I can fly China for $750 and EVA for $850. I'm willing to pay more for Thai Airways because it is non-stop, shaves 4 hours off the flight time, and has better arrival and return times, and will have new planes. However, double the price is just too much. Does anybody think this price will come down? What site is best for getting the lowest quote on this flight?
  13. I also have the choice of Thai or EVA on my next trip which would be LAX-BKK-LAX. I flew EVA in 1995 HNL-BKK-HNL and it was great compared to any U.S. domestic flights. Business class seats for economy price, cute flight attendants, personal video screens, and acceptable food. What is the current status of the planes of Thai and EVA flying from LAX to BKK? I am primarily interested in seat width and not pitch. Other options include China Air or Cathay, but I prefer Thai or EVA. Delta and Uniflot are off my list.
