  1. I think this might be the code: 134491-45605 Pulled it from a thread started a couple of years ago by BM "Chang"... I'm pretty sure that he just renewed the league and everyone who had been in it for the past couple of years just migrated into the new season as they set up their teams. http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/55804-fantasy-football/
  2. One of my favorite "football" stories was from back when I still lived in the States... I was watching an EPL game on the last day of the season. I had TIVO so after the game ended I called my teenage son into the room and showed him the last 3 minutes of the game. The game ended in a 2-2 tie and the fans went TOTALLY BONKERS... they rushed on to the pitch and celebrated in complete madness. My son looked confused and asked "What happened... it ended in a tie... did the home team still win the Championship?" I said "No... they came in 17th."
  3. On the other hand...imagine an English football coach trying to demonstrate the proper way to perform a "tackle" to an NFL safety... they would be scrapping the remains up with a shovel.
  4. Why I like the Gridiron League: It's no surprise to anyone who knows me that I love Fantasy Football. Hell, just check out my avatar to see my two favorite past times in life. But I have to say that this Gridiron has a special hold on me. This is something like the 6-7th year that I've set this league up on the Pattaya boards and it's kind of surprising how consistent it has proven. We always seem to have about 20-25 players, generally the league as a whole does well against the ESPN competition, we seem to always have about half a dozen guys who beat 95% or more of the site competitors, a
  5. Well, the mini camps are open and the first preseason game is set to play tomorrow... so it must be time to fire everything up for another season of Fantasy Football. I've set up this years' ESPN Gridiron League. It looks like they have made a few changes so I am having a problem finding the new code for the Pattaya Wannabes League. I'm guessing that it might be the same as last year's because I just "renewed" the league rather then set up a new league. If I am right then you should be able to use this link: http://games.espn.go...oup?groupID=811 Along with: Group: Pattaya Wann
  6. Adam, I see that you have set up your EPL team for this season... is there a new or different code number for this league? I couldn't get 54826-18626 to work for the Cherry Bar League. Also, any plans for Head-to Head competition? Sidenote: did you get the emails for our NFL draft league?
  7. My best guess on how the "league set-up" process works... Someone sets up a league with a name and password. Others join the league, play and or leave a league if they please. The next year anyone can set their team up again but it will just sit there until they join a league. But if the same person who started a league last year reactivates the league again for the new season then everyone who has a team will migrate into the league. Someone has reactivated the FLB league and those of us who has set up our teams for this season but where also in last years league migrated into the new
  8. Just a heads up that the 2013 version of the EPL Fantasy League is up and running. I didn't create a league for the FLB because I think Hammer (Adam) has done it the past and I'm pretty sure he can reactivate last years league. Sidenote: I'll be starting a thread for the 2013 NFL Gridiron League once it becomes active on the ESPN site...
  9. Well, first off, thanks for all of the replies and info. And for those who have mentioned it, I don't plan to ignore the problem and or consider any form of self-medication. At the moment I am focusing most of my attention of finding a doctor/hospital that I can trust... And it is also worth mentioning that the more I have read and researched my "problem", I am inclined to believe that my main issue isn't High Blood Pressure... I'm pretty sure that I am dealing with Stable Angina. Someone on another board pointed me in that direction and I have to admit that the symptoms are pretty much de
  10. 10 Truths Black And Hispanic People Know, But White People Won’t Admit: 1. Elvis is dead. 2. Jesus was not White. 3. Rap music is here to stay 4. Kissing your pet is not cute or clean. 5. Skinny does not equal sexy. 6. Thomas Jefferson had black children. 7. A 5 year child is too big for a stroller. 8. N’ SYNC will never hold a candle to the Jackson 5 9. An occasional BUTT whooping helps a child stay in line. 10. Having your children curse you out in public is not normal. 10 Truths White And Black People Know, But Hispanic People Won’t Admit: 1. Hickey’s are not attractive. 2. Chicken is fo
  11. The best news is that I stopped smoking last Oct. so it has now been 9 months without a smoke... And frankly, stress is a non-issue. But I do agree that I need to set an appt. with one of the local hospitals. From talking with friends, we seem to have 3 hospitals here in Pattaya. I use Bangkok/Pattaya for my vision (Glaucoma) because I have total trust in Dr. Santa. But it has a reputation for being the most expensive without offering that much more then the other two. And for some reason I seem to remember getting mixed reviews on the one on Soi 4. A couple of guys have suggested that
  12. Strangely, in light of how much neglect and abuse I have leveled on my body during most of my adult life, I have been blessed with relatively few health problems. But recently, there has been a noticeable spike in my blood pressure readings when I visit my lone Pattaya doctor for a vision related issues. That along with some tightness in the chest when walking (or other noticeable signs) has got me thinking that it is time to talk with someone about possible blood pressure issues. I also believe that this has been an issue along my family tree. The problem is that I'm not sure where to sta
  13. Can anyone recommend any English classes? My girlfriend who already speaks decent Japanese and English is looking for somewhere to get her English to the next level for both speaking and writing... I could really use some recommendations on locations, contact info, costs, or class structure.
  14. Dear American citizens residing in or near Pattaya, The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you the location for the scheduled consular outreach visit to Pattaya on June 5, 2013. Consular staff will be available to provide services on: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the: Dusit Thani Hotel Appointments are not necessary for consular services during outreach visits. http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/consular_outreach_pattaya_060513.html
  15. Tebow chances in the CFL (or anywhere else for that matter) "If you can't throw the football, it doesn't matter where you play quarterback," he said. "You have to be able to throw it. That's his biggest problem, just being able to complete passes, be an accurate passer. I think he's a really good athlete playing the position, but I don't think that's enough sometimes." Quote from Warren Moon Personally, I have no use for a QB that is a "nice guy" but can't complete passes...
  16. Actually, there is a small individual letter box outside of each of the condos... and a small note inside of a sealed envelope marked "Attention Owner" might actually be the best option to see who has the thought of selling in the back of their minds. I don't know what the premium is for a corner unit but 2 million for a single unit would be a fair price.
  17. Top right hand side of page next to your name click drop down box and select My Settings. Then left side select Ignore Preferences... put BM's name in box and select "messages", then save changes.
  18. Also worth noting... tomorrow, Jan 16,2013, there is a one day sale on discounted lifetime memberships for 15,000 baht that is good at all of the Tony Gyms. They run this one day special every July but for whatever reason it's on for tomorrow. Might be worth the price for an expat. On the Jomtien Gym... hours are 5am till midnight, they don't supply locks for the lockers, and I think that there is a towel fee.
  19. Pretty much the same experience I have had every time I went there. Peter is one of the best owners/mangers I've come across in Pattaya who always listens to his customers and treats them and their concerns with respect. If there is a problem (and as I said, I haven't experienced any yet) then I'm sure Pete will address it.
  20. I have a friend who picked up a ding in her car door. Can anyone suggest a decent place for some simple Auto Body Work? Thanks
  21. LAST CALL before the season starts next Wednesday. After that you can still join and play if interested to see what's it's all about but you'll have little chance of winning.
  22. Two more weeks till the start of the new season... 9 teams so far Still looking for new blood
  23. 6 teams so far.... Experience says that we'll end up with between 20-25. And recent experience (last season) says that my Prowlers rule this league
