Just had to arrange a quick flight for a mate and he was excellent, first-class service!

Agree 100% with the thoughts expressed on this topic. A absolute tragedy that two young children have lost their lives to a drunk idiot. If indeed he was drunk, then throw away the key...!!!

I have two young boys myself and this kind of story just puts me a state of disbelief. I hope the Mother can survive her injuries and somehow continue on with her life.

Is Bent worth 16.5m ?? Absolutely NOT!

Berbatov cost 10.9m, you do the maths!!!

English players transfer fees are ridiculous but for some reason Jolly Martin is a big fan of Bent and I have complete faith in MJ so we'll see what his plans are. Surely he hasn't signed a 16.5m substitute! I reckon we're looking at a diamond with Keano in behind Berbs and Bent.

I do feel a bit sorry for Mido, 2 seasons ago he was the main reason we finished 5th and if it wasn't for a dodgy Pizza at West Ham we'd have been in the CL. He is class, but MJ obviously doesn't rate him anymore.

We do however DESPERATELY need a world class central midfielder (didn't realise we'd miss Carrick THAT much!) as well as a left back and left winger.

Roll on the new season, despite no ESPN or Star Sports coverage!!!

‘'The majority of people still oppose him so if he came back now, in the middle of the crisis, it would put his life in danger,'' Sonthi told a Bangkok radio station. ‘'It would be very dangerous for him.''

Absolute garbage! Speak to any regular Thai and they all say Thaksin is OK. This has just been a witch hunt from day one.

I still don't know exactly what he's done wrong. A lot of the members on here who have been in Thailand for 5 mins all jump on the band wagon. Those who've been here a bit longer remember the pre-Thaksin days.

Anybody want Chuan and the Democrats to come back...???

He may not been perfect but this country was ticking along nicely when Thaksin was in charge. The top officials had their corruption payments stopped an all got the gripes, hence the witch hunt!

This country is slowly killing itself internationally from within.

So Mr CEO, you are concerned that investing in Thailand would be risky?

Well, I can reassure you that everything is fine, nothing to worry about, apart from being under military dictatorship, imminent threats of another Coup d'etat, death threats against former leaders, ruinous currency control measures and uncompetitive rate, crashing share prices, violence in the South, a bombing campaign in the capital within the last 6-months, downward growth YOY and prejections, disarray over whether you can actually own your investment if you are a foreigner...

CEO - what about the rumour that the capital (and new airport) will be under water in 10-years?

..oh, and finally, whatever way you work within our system we will retain 51% ownership!

"What you mean it's not an attractive option..??"

There's no "real" eBay in Thailand, but the website www.ebay.co.th uses the American ebay.com for it's search facility. The main problem is that Paypal have some issues with users in Thailand.

There is an eBay in Singapore though - www.ebay.com.sg

I suppose you enjoy poking around in the infested, out-of-date-stock-filled mom and pop hovels?

Absolutely. Plus the fact that these so called "mom & pop" shops are simply not big enough and don't stock the items we need in our house. We have our Tesco Lotus here which has everything we need in one place.

Job Done!

I thought we were superb last night. Apart from the first 10 mins before we actually woke up (!!) Sevilla were no better than us. The boys should be proud and the future looks bright, good experience for some of the younger players (Lennon, Dawson etc.).

Martin Jol need to sign 2 or 3 experienced but not over-the-hill players in the summer and I reckon we'll be there or thereabouts. A left back and left winger FOR SURE and one genuine world class central midfielder who can take hold of a game.

It's good building up the younger squad but if the whole squad is young and inexperienced then who do they learn from..??

UEFA CUP..?? Mickey Mouse trophy, we'll be playing Champs League before you know it!

THE ARSE COME TO THE LANE IN 2 WEEKS (28TH)...!!!

Anyone know if UEFA Cup is on Thai TV Channel 7 tonight..??

"He's only a poor little Hammer"...

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Who needs soap operas, now THAT was good television...!!!

yes and he likes to drink from the local POND

I hope the water's not contaminated, he may start to believe he's James BOND!

Any good recommendations for an OK hotel or guesthouse in Hua Hin with internet access in the rooms. I've seen a few but the prices were obscene. Doesn't need to be broadband but just a connection point.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Now that's the real DEAL!!

Absolutely, we're DEAD serious!!

This guy is an ex Kanchanaburi resident I'm embarrased to say. Met him a few times..!!

I've finished beating my chicken now, time for dinner. Think I'll have some VEAL...!!!

All getting a bit much for me this fast-paced letter changing. I'm off to BEAT my chicken...!!!

May I give you some Meed for your Khun-tribution to this “Fred”.

Be happy to MEET up with you!!

This thread is going to pot.

Used to be a laugh.

On the way down it occasionally

raised a smile.

But now , with the sad exhibitionists

invading it I can't even raise a GRIN.

Honestly, get a GRIP!

Was that the birthplace of CAIN & Abel...???

NICE one Croc!

There's also a new FREE tourist book that's just been published. you can get one anywhere in town.

Where ??

They're all over town. Bars, guesthouses, travel shops etc. If you PM me your address I'll send you one.

Man Utd's best player..??

Usually the referee innit..!!!

The only thing hovering around my mind are LICE

sounds like an echo in a MINE

I'll add a LINE to the game!!
