Yes Australia have definately turned things around since Birmingham boy Andrew Symonds was let back in the team. Bet he's really looking forward to playing at his home ground - Edgbaston

Oct - Nov is a good time to go, I paid around £400 on Thai last year, it's also the start of the cool season so another plus point.

Maybe I'm just being cynical but I found it kinda strange why the 2 other teams on Bridgestones other than Ferrari were in favour of giving a concession to the Michelin runners when they had a lot to gain from not giving them an inch. Cant help thinking that maybe a few underhand promises of help were made from the Michelin teams to the Bridgestone teams that make up the back of the grid. Being probably the 2 worst teams in Formula 1 they could do with all the help they can get both technically and politically whereas Ferrari although not doing so good this season are in a much stronger position to resist such overtures.

Apparently the teams are allowed to bring 2 types of tyres to the race meetings, 1 of which is supposed to be a on the edge state of the art tyre and the other a back up tyre that is less hi spec but is of a known reliability. none of the teams had the 2nd back up tyre yesterday acording to the FIA. If true then the blame has got to be labelled at Michelin for not ensuring all the teams had the back up tyres, the michelin teams for not insisting they have them and the FIA for not making sure back up tyres were present in all teams. I feel sorry for the people who paid good money to see a pile of shite but did find it funny when 1 irate American started shouting of some crap about 'who do they think they are these god damn Europeans coming here to the USA and thinking they can pull this shit' think he's still not got over the Ryder Cup.

Listen here - England are gonna smash the Aussies in the ashes, the British Lions are gonna shit all over the All Blacks, Tim Henman is gonna make every opponent he meets look like a 2 bit punk on his way to winning Wimbledon, England are gonna win the World Cup in Germany next year and West Ham are gonna take the Premiership Title in dramatic style. Dont say you weren't warned !

Apparently a precedent was set not so long ago when Bridgestone had a problem with their tyres and Ferrari wanted a slight change to the track, they basically got told to fuck off by the Michelin runners and so that is why Ferrari stood their ground yesterday. Let's face it, if it had of been the Bridgestones that had the problem yesterday and they had requested for a chicane to be put in only to be turned down and subsequently pull out of the race I dont think there would have been anywhere near as much argument, partly because it would have only been 3 teams pulling out but that should not matter, 1 team or 10 teams the same rules should apply, but mostly there would not be as much argument because it would have meant Ferrari and in particular Schumacher pulling out and an even worse season for him/Ferrari and a lot of people are enjoying that. The fault for this complete fuck up lies with 2 groups of people only, Michelin and the FIA.

I think I've had my drink spiked several times in the past, I've been out enjoying myself in a pub and then the next thing I know I've woken up in a strange bed with a thumping headache, a dry mouth and a woman beside me that I cant recall having ever met before. Upon inspection of the woman I realise I find her somewhat unatractive and know full well I would never have willingly gone with her. I have never reported this to the Police as I found it rather embarressing !

A couple of years back I got an open ticket with EVA, when I went to book my return flight at the EVA office in Bkk I was told there was no available seats for 3 months, this was at the beginning of March so not a particulary busy time I would have thought. I was put on standby for a seat if anyone cancelled theirs but after 3 weeks they was still saying they had no empty seats and as I had to get home fairly soon I ended up having to pay £120 to be upgraded as there was seats available in evergreen deluxe. I still wonder if this was a con !

Never heard of them, neither it would appear has Google !

I got the ferry at noon aswell, but I think there is 1 at 11am that lands on the other side of the island, it is more expensive but includes a trip on a glass bottomed boat to a reef or something from what I could make out.

I normally find myself staying at the Diana Inn, I like it's central location, having kiss food right next door is great, it has a car park with security which I need as my teerak parks her car there and I park my motorbike, it has a nice pool and the staff are friendly enough apart from the little weasle who works nights on the desk sometimes, but he learnt his lesson and now wont even look me in the eye. what I dont like about it is that it could do with a renovation and the television is crap. So anyone else have a opinion about this place, also I'd welcome some alternate suggestions of places with secure car/motorbike parking and a pool for similar money, I'd prefer to stay somewhere more picturesque and less hotel like really, my friend who lives and works in Pattaya suggested the Haven on soi 13.
