  1. something so crucial and integral to the male identity should not be trifled with.

    If a bit of skin on your old fella is that important then something else must be missing from you life.

    nowt missing from my life chump

    just find it selfish and self righteous in the extreme for a parent to do that. bit like, forcing their relegious beliefs on their offspring, like.

  2. any parent who does to their child is selfish in the extreme. it should be the child's choice later in life, period. something so crucial and integral to the male identity should not be trifled with. almost as bad as parents who choose their children's religion (dont get me started on that sh*t)

  3. Why would you want to amputate a perfectly healthy body part, unless you have a religious compulsion to do so? Let him choose for himself when he is older.

    exactly

  4. golf sucks. a tepid "sport" for old farts who are past it.

    matt - kudos on your decision to bring your kids to the UK. a difficult one but i think you've made the right decision. it grieves me to say but having been a teacher in thailand, the standard of education remains poor, even compared to cambodia, laos and vietnam. cheating and plagiarism are so rife, even at the highest level

    . If they don't speak Thai they shouldn't been able to teach English.

    what an utterly bizarre comment. well done, as you've just summed up in a nut shell why the standard of english is so poor in thailand. i've met countless Thai teachers who conduct their english classes mainly in thai. often their own english converational english is abysmal. i knew an american teacher who was fluent in thai are in order to show off would teach his "english" lesson mainly in thai. any school worth their salt would have a teaching assistant to translate when necessary.

  6. reluctantly i'd say the sunee, the best of a bad lot. as others have said book early - there has been a lot of negative reviews on the well known reviews website regards booking being forgotten or rates being raised. my biggest complaint is the lousy service there.

    that said, for gawds sake dont go to the nevada hotel. a shame because 10 years ago it was great - now in a very, very sorry state

  7. ^who cares about HIS family? unbelieveable. that said, your post is provoking. i work with people with severe mental health problems and i always say that the real dangerous people of society are the "normal" ones who go out to get smashed at the weekend and beat the crap out of someone

  8. New PTT station and 7/11 are being built "across the road" from the hospital in Nam Yuen. thumbsup.gif

    Yes I know, not in the city, but important to those who live in, or venture down to the border (bomb shelter) area............biggrin.png

    ah nam yuen, the cultural cul-de-sac of ubon. makes det udom seem like bkk

  9. haha a story from my missus the other day reminds me why i tend not to speak. the other day she was in the park in the town we live in the uk, with my daughter, when she got talking a fellow mum. the lady said he father, sat nearby, had lived in thailand for 18 years. so my missus presumed he'd been a businessman or something. but no he'd done 18 years hard time for drug smuggling. he then comes over and starts speaking thai to my missus and tells her to live inside prison...a complete stranger telling personal stuff like this i can do without

    Sorry some more B/S do you think a Brit would do 18years in a Thai jail, after a short period maybe 5 years they are shipped back to UK or released on one of many of the King's yearly pardons.

    sorry theres more. apparently, his original term was 30 years, deduced to just 18 years

    deduced? duh "reduced"

  12. Good for Air Asia I get fed up with this crap about liquids, pastes, gels bazookas, mortars etc etc, no really its a freakin pain, then you get the rip off 70 baht for water once you pass though security, bloody big scam.

    my dad, on one of his trips to thailand, went through swampy security with his swiss pocket knife in his bumbag, and went through no probs, which is reassuring
