  1. I prefer showing them the bottom of my foot than the middle finger, that really gets their blood boiling.

    you don't mean that serious, do you?

    Yes I do depending on the circumstances.

  2. Does anyone know of a map showing the exact position of the Lat Krabang station of the new airport skytrain link, all the ones I've seen seem rather vague and I'm not sure if there's actually 2 Lat Krabang stations, 1 for the airport skytrain and another older 1. Reason I need to know its exact location is I want to book a hotel for 1 night as close as possible to it so I can get into central Bangkok and back before flying off to pastures new the next morning.

  3. Surely that's the race card all played out?

    Please don't let it decend into the religious side of north & south Ireland, I'm sure everyone's heard enough about this already!

    Mods - do everyone a favour and close this before it goes further down the pan!

    Race card no, Ireland is an island, with Irish people born there, they are all Irish. It is within any UK governments power to join the communities of the island to it's original status, ie; give back the land.

    But the majority of Northern Irelands citizens don't want to be joined with The Irish Republic, they want to remain part of the UK. Forcing them to become part of the Irish Republic against their will would undoubtedly end in a civil war in Ireland that would make the 1970's troubles look like a minor scuffle after a teenagers church disco.

  4. "He's a very well built white man, so he would stand out like a sore thumb anywhere else," the source said.

    What a bizarre statement.....

    Does that mean that all white men in those regions are so grossly overweight that anyone in relatively fit condition would stick out like a sore thumb ? From the videos & pictures, he appears to be about the same height as the Thai fighters he was in the ring with. If he actually still has the boxing physique shown in that old photo, it wouldn't be evident unless he was walking around shirtless which wouldn't be likely even without those distinguishing tatts.

    I'd say compared to the average 120lb wet through nerdy gap year student on "the backpacker trail" who look like they couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding he would indeed stand out like a sore thumb, even more so when he speaks in a regional accent.

  5. To be honest I find your need to bitch on the web about someone enjoying their day rather more sad, live and let live I say.

    Get a sense of humour, I say.

    I've got a sense of humour, which is why I'd of laughed at the guy then went about my business not giving it anymore thought.

  6. Why is it always the Aussies and Brit who come to center stage here in Thailand for being just plain stupid.

    It isn't. The most stupid incident involving a Farang in recent years involved a Swiss guy, a can of spray paint and posters of His Majesty King Bhumibol.

    Hey this guy is not an Aussie, he is infact Irish, although most of our hertiage is from there.

    No, most of Australia's heritage is from England, 43% of Australians being of English descent in 1999 as against 12% Irish. Google "AUSTRALIAN POPULATION: ETHNIC ORIGINS"

  7. I've got a wedding to attend at 10am the next morning and if the Aussies and Germans were to both lose it wouldn't be 4am I was staying up to, I'd need at least another 2 hours of drinking celebrations :)

  8. Thanks for the replies :) the place run by a fellow Englishman sounds promising, although to be honest I'm just as happy being the lone Farang in a bar.

    hahaha....you dont get it mate...apart from the bar of Fritz, which I didnt know about there arent any bars in Nang Rong, not as you would know them anyway.

    HL :D

    I'm told there's a Thai style bar called Pop Sok "100 yds before the road into the bus station" that shows football. I'll just be happy to watch the England - Slovenia game with a beer in my hand, anything more is a bonus.

  9. Thanks for the replies :) the place run by a fellow Englishman sounds promising, although to be honest I'm just as happy being the lone Farang in a bar.

    Just remembered something, I've been told that True will only be transmitting the World Cup on it's HD channel, So unless the bar has HD it won't be showing games I guess.

  10. I'm going to Nang Rong for a wedding in June having never been there before, I'm wondering if there are any bars in town that will be showing World Cup games or would I have to go up to Buriram to catch a game.
