  1. What sites is that you're trying to access ?? Not familiar with Sportsbook ??
  2. Ok fair enough-no problem with that.If I ever make it back to Pattaya I intend to make somewhere a bolt hole and have had some good reports on this place.
  3. My daughter can get get into the reservation systems of airlines so will ask her to have a look at the main culprits but I very much doubt if their busy.May and June tend to be quiet at the best of times. Add on the current problems and I would be surprised if they are half full.
  4. I have heard there has been an outrageous increase to 55 baht !
  5. ' Normally they would get you on the next available aircraft of whoever, or refund if you couldn't travel at a later date.
  6. Yeah you're right Joe - Go and get some kip Your talent is wasted on this forum. Have you ever considered taking up a career in politics
  7. Yes - but that does not alter the fact that footballers are hugely overpaid for working on average 30 days a year.
  8. Well lets agree to disagree ! Whatever the true reasons of Darlingtons demise, money or lack of it was probably top of the pile.
  9. FFS Andy, You're totally missing the point-its not a question "if people are stupid enough to pay" The days of gate money on match days covering the clubs costs are well gone.Financial ruin beckons because of the greed. The clubs have no choice but to pay ludicrous amounts (agreed Kieron Dyer) to just try and keep up with the mainstream. They cant afford it so vast resources have to be plowed into commercial ventures and sponsorship etc to try and generate enough cash to pay these ludicrous wages. Frank Lampard is now getting as a basic wage in just one week what David Cameron (n
  10. I will turn the question around. Do you Joe think premiership footballers (or your yankee counterparts) deserve 100k a week for kicking a piece of leather around a field ?? Its a simple yes or no-not a debate about the fact that some Sheik from Abu Dhabi will cough up any amount of dosh for the prestige of owning a very big loss making club.
  11. Joe, Could you translate that into English ?? Once again the question was are footballers paid too much, and my response is yes.
  12. Joe, NO they don't deserve it. The club is obliged to pay just to maintain the status quo.The players if denied an already obscene amount will just move to another club bankrolled by an individual who doesn't care about the cost but wants the prestige. Doesn't mean the players deserve it whatsoever.
  13. Mr Mango, I suggest you widen your research on the subject if you really believe clubs are not losing money !!! 95% of Premiership/Football league clubs are running at a loss. The topic is are footballers salarys too high and the answer is yes.
  14. Wrong the owners are losing money hand over fist. Manchester United supposedly the richest club in the world is around 600 million in debt !! Owners do it for the prestige.
  15. FAIR !!!!! There are OAP's afraid to turn their gas and fires on in winter collecting 92 pounds a week and you think that footballers receiving 50 or 70k a week is fair ?? Some of these guys are getting 120k in the premiership. They DO NOT have a willing employer paying these wages ! You have an employer FORCED to pay these ludicrous sums to keep up with the rest.If every club had a cap on earnings then we wouldn't see the same old teams coming out top every year. What on earth has a wage cap got to do with despots in North Korea ??
  16. Those figures are just obscene. 70,000 and 50,000 pound a week is ludicrous.Nobody but nobody deserves payment at that level. Should be a ceiling of 10k in premier,7k in championship,5k in league 1, and 3k in league 2. Get some normality back in football.Still gives premiership players half a million a year which is still crazy.
  17. You mean they have a Thai style squat shitter ?? In a apartment block no doubt built for farangs ?? Think I will cross off my list if that's the case.
  18. Has anybody stayed here recently ?? What was it like ?? There was a thread on Pattayatalk from 2005 but not much since ?
  19. I had a look at these couple of years ago but the downside was the amount of dogs in the soi up to 2nd rd.
  20. Yeah was trying to locate website myself-not sure a domain can expire with 5 months to go ??
  21. Fills newspapers and TV airtime. Put "sex tourism in Thailand" into google and you get 2.5 million references. Always be someone somewhere aiming to hit the media headlines.
  22. Close to LK and Soi Buakeow there is Sawedee Court and Sawedee Mansion at 400-550 baht a night.
  23. Voice of reason there for the OP Personally I can only think of 4 flights Ive been on where the connection was around an hour-3 on Qatar and once on Balkan but there was no problem. Pays your money and takes your chance I guess.
  24. Kingfisher will be well aware of the short transfer time and your bags will make the connection no problem. Baggage handlers know in advance what incoming flights will need baggage transferred.
  25. Out of interest Joe why would the import duty be so high on cheese ?? Is it because of a lack of milking cows in Thailand ??
