In 8 years on this site this is the first funny I have posted so same for me.

Subject: : Veet Hair Removal Trust me when I say you will need a hankie or tissues at hand before you read this. This is an actual review on amazon.co.uk for Veet Hair Removal for Men... This review is from: Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel Creme 200 ml (Personal Care) After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat. I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considerd myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned . Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so.I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect...:)

Anyway, bottom line for me will be the actual prices. I am happy to fly into and out of PP with Air Asia and unless there is something better I am happy to keep on using them. I have not yet considered a flight to Cambodia without going to PP for a few days as its a good destination.

Looking at the list of participating companies still seems to make this a serious venture. If the only thing that happens is to force Thai and Bangkok to lower their prices then it will have been a good thing.

Bit harsh? Just because its a budget airline does not give it license to screw with peoples time, holidays and plans. Its simply bad business and poor PR.

Thanks for all the info guys. Its a learning curve for me. My reasoning at this stage is that when I get to Swampy I will book in if the flight is a goes and if not simply get a Bells bus back to Pattaya. This is one of the great things about flying inter Asia, the fare write off should not upset your holiday. Whilst for simple curiosity I would like my few days in AC the more that I read and become involve with a web forum the less that I find the place appealing. Needless to say I really dont want to be screwed around but then again my home airport is subject to fog and I have missed flights because of this and simply put it down to things beyond my control. Thanks Evil. I also appprecite the point that you make about lack of service. Its the same the whole world over in that if an airline supplies you with a cheap flight they often believe that the service should be the same!

Thanks for that. It raises the issue about '..giving a dog a bad name' in that the adverse publicity may have lead to the 40/50 % loading and low occupancy will kill the whole deal eventually.

It doesnt matter what your over, the X Zone is fun.

Hi there Nev. Do you want people reading this to print a copy of the voucher and bring it in?

No idea but I read it on a forum in the last few days.

If, as I hear, they have a $99 dollar return fare to Siem Reap it will be a winner.

Thanks and I hope you are a success but remember please that you are one of very many bars and when members perceive that there are better places or that they get better value elsewhere they will vote with their feet. Bottom line: What is your point of difference?

Slightly off to one side but I carry with me old receipts for medications and dose size that I know will work. I have never used them but at least would have something to trot into the pharmacy if something went wrong. I am worried as hell about getting the wrong meds as I am alergic to pe.nacillin.

Get well buddy. We need a correspondent in the North.

Further to the Sabai Resort. I stayed in the two storied block at the left of reception coming in. I think that they call these superior rooms. I could not hear the nightclub from there but then again I do get in late. I like the location a lot but have moved back to Soi 2 because I still believe this to be better value.

Thanks for the info guys. After reading Evils comments I am happy to conclude that I will have no problems at all just booking back into Pattaya if they stuff me around. With any refund from them or travel insurance I really will not be much out of pocket and AC can wait for another day.

Hi Nev and best wishes. Will miss one but perhaps you can have a "First 60 week" party and I guarantee to be there. Look after my girls for me!

Well the easy way would be to suggest that as its love, "No Pay"

I would appreciate any feedback regarding the above. I have a couple of bookings with them later this year. The two issues that concern me is that they appear to cancel flights with little or no notice and that they will be moving operations to Don Maung possibly before Christmas. Any updates or feedback appreciated.

Bugger it! Stay half your break in one and half in the other. There is no way you can really judge a place till you have stayed there. For me the three pools, the proximity to Beach Road, the handy baht buses and the supermarket on the doorstep are great but I do believe that the rooms in the RG are good although say 300/500 baht a night dearer. It all comes down to personal opinion and no amount of recommendations will really answer that.

It was raining this morning so I sat down and updated my budget. Heres how it looks. I bought my ticket in July and paid there and then. I started to buy currency this month. I am off in October and back in November and because I am doing a side trip some of my accommodation will be billed in each month. Because of my billing cuttoff (mid month) I will have to pay both in full in December to avoid paying interest on the credit card account. I will need to top my spending money up in November with a debit card. Bottom line is that the trip has been spread over six months and I really dont need to use savings because of the spread. The fact that I am hit with 30,000 baht worth of accommodation in December is fine becase so much of December spending turns up in January and February! I know that people in the work force or with more income or savings will be laughing at this but I am a retired superannuant and its important to me to plan ahead.

I would also email them to make sure that your not charged a joiner fee as well. This is a new hotel but as far as I am aware all Tune places only offer the basics as part of the room cost. Let us know what you find out.

The one thing that I have done to spin out the dollars /baht is to spread the costs. The pain is that much less. I usually book and have to pay for my air fare and that is normally three months at least before a trip. I keep an eye on exchange rates and if say the $US or the baht hits trigger points I buy in. My accommodation is put on the credit card and quite often I have say 6 weeks to pay that and other credit card accounts such as duty free purchases. In all I therefore can spread the cost of a 4 week trip over 6 months!

Tom. Yes the bars in Soi 2 have gone but the strip of bars fronting Second Road (opposite Big C) are good. Two have live bands and there are also a heap of bars all the way down to Soi 6.

Sadly half the threads on the forum of recent time have been about rising costs in Pattaya and how to handle them.I say sadly because in some cases they have become a bit inflamed.Just have a look at some of these. It has to be said however that most of these relate to the cost of the ladies and there is still a mountain of cheap food (500 baht a day-no problem) and cheap drinks as long as you stick to bars or drink draft at the clubs.
