No wonder they don't allow handball. Too many red badges for my liking as well.

You're supposed to figure it out from the photo. Same as some other threads I saw somewhere.

Yep. I got mine in Melbourne last October. I got 60 day dual entry for no charge, cos I was doing a side trip after that anyway. Staff there couldn't have been more helpful, I got the feeling I could have just about any type of visa I wanted with no complications.

Thats not what he said. I guess we need to keep it simple for Hawk fans. Now where's Melbourne Mick today? Not like a Tiger to stay quiet for long.......

I think you mean 90,000 to the match of the day in AFL; 90,000 total for the round in NRL. (7,000 to the Parramatta v Storm game, which should have been one the drawcards of the season)

Only if the yanks top their group......

The Beckhams....he seems to be away quite a lot.

I didn't see the game, but apparently some of the lads forgot the game against NZ was a 'friendly.'

a one-person shower at that!

What about the time the Italians got on the wrong team bus, and their high-diving squad turned up for a football match.? Still bitter.

Don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I believe Jan and Paul (lostinspace) have moved up country.

Its not bad, but nothing spectacular. Rooms are clean but a touch Spartan. If you pay for a 'deluxe' the only difference is you get a comfy chair. Kitchen is limited if you eat in the restaurant. Pool is ok. ID for guests is compulsory. They offer a small discount for full payment up front, I'd try before you buy. Its quite popular with the Middle Eastern crowd. Buakhow can be a pain to walk along....I'd try the places in Lengkee as an alternative. Also when I was there, the bomb site next door got used as a market, with amplified music going all hours. Just my 2 satangs...

Dogbreath I'm a late entry for any and all events. Handicap a healthy 22 and shirt size a healthier XXL (Thai size!) Ash Email on its way

good site Adam, but slow down here too

I had three nights at the Penthouse in January. Expensive, but a really fun place to stay. Rooms well appointed and clean. I saw no cockroaches, despite all the reports to the contrary, and I've seen plenty elsewhere in LOS. Noise wasn't really a problem. My room was at the front and overlooking the soi into Boyztown. Surprised I didn't see some of you there. Girls MUST have ID, eh Pieman?

Thai did for me when I had silver status on their FF program. I've stopped using them now so don't know the current deal. My clubs weigh 14kgs. Pre book with a 20kg allowance, stuff your bag with shirts and undies, use socks and jocks to protect your club heads....leave long irons at home if you have hybrids...don't bring any golf balls, put what you can in carry-on, and buy some clothes at Made in Thailand when you get to town. And wrap your bag in glad-wrap or similar, just leave the handle protruding. And you won't need a shoulder strap.

Latching onto the Bombas is the first smart thing she's done since meeting you. Tell her to watch for me in the crowd tonight.

I asked Julian about this, and he denies everything.

You've been waiting 4.1/2 years to ask that?

Fools rush in..... I stayed at the Sunview last year, which you also mentioned. Also popular with the Middle Eastern clientele. And yes I had a problem with them. I've never had a problem walking down soi Arab, nor in Bkk, but I did in that hotel. Because the ones in the rooms either side of me were fucking LOUD. Now to be fair, I've had the same experience with Brits at the Haven, to the extent that I won't stay there again either. Just depends on the layout of the place and bad timing, I guess.

I had a look in Jasmine Mansion a while back. Seemed ok, but I assume its noisier than Metro, and I like Dennis' bar set-up.

so when is the limited time?

Depends what you want and where you want to be. You could have a suite at this place http://www.siam-web.com/dolphin/ or try googling Argyle Apartments. Not sure what Dennis' rate is at Metro Apartments, but someone here will know.

As I recall, you had some tough opposition that day!

Pete's lost weight.
