Worth noting that you are only allowed 50% of your total credit in cash. I paid a large chunk off my card, went to withdraw some cash and it didn't work. Bangkok bank then explained why...

Jesus H Christ! I'm getting so sick of these commentators. Willie Thorne was always known as a gabble-mouth, trying to predict exactly what the players were going to do, criticising when they do it wrong and now we have John Virgo trying to out-do him, talking non-stop. As for Virgo's "Where's the white/blue/pink ball going" that he shouts out... that is getting so old, it wasn't even funny the first time.

Now they are both talking even while the player is shooting. It's like having someone sitting next to you who won't stop talking.

If I could find somewhere on the BBC web site where I could tell them to shut the **** up, I would.

I only hope the final is commentated on by Steve Hendry, Steve Davis or Dennis Taylor, not these two idiots with verbal diarrhoea.

Absolutely spot on..! Virgo in particular drives me mad. Does he ever shut the <deleted> up? For crying out loud give us a break/rest (pun intended). Time to hit the mute button yet again..

I lived there and took that trip many times. Leaving in a taxi at 6am will take 45 mins absolute tops.

Yawn yawn...

Saw the Lakes is being used now. Any updates from someone that has played it. Have heard both sides different people different ideas. Have heard that it is only " fair " shape having seen the rest of the course a month or so ago that comes as no surprise.

Would bbs interested in any comments from golfers on here.

What does 'bbs' mean?

Recently did it. Takes 2 days. Apply in the morning and collect the following afternoon

Emporium, 4th or 5th floor of the department store

You have the annoying habit of enjoying being annoying.....Maybe you carry that with you....

On the board you come off as prissy, priggish, judgemental, annoying, and pious.....It' a possible this is what you are in person....

It is also simply possible while you entered both you and your wife were sweeping (noticing) the room with your glances you could have made others curious or uncomfortable.... Women always notice/size up each other & it's noticed/communicated both ways....Possibly would have gone unoticed in a larger city but where you were you were the anomaly....Odds are it was a local watering hole with an established crowd - "their" territory so to speak.....Has happened before.....

The fact you decided to leave says more about you than them......If you had ignored them everyone probably would have settled back in to enjoy their meal.....But THEY made YOU feel out of place so YOU left .....Paranoia?

Unless you were doing something to draw attention to yourselves (loud/smoking/constantly looking around) you should have concentrated on you and your wife and enjoyed your evening & the heck with everyone else.....

Nonsense post. Glaring angrily? Nah... Don't believe you

Live in or not? What city? How many hours do you expect them to work? Etc etc etc

In a bar of course. The same as everyone else

A loss of a life and all I read here are stupid comments trying to be funny. Sad really.

RIP

"I used to binge drink terribly and just got sick of myself, the money wasted, the wasted days hungover, feeling lousy, blackouts and not knowing what I had done, embarrassment, etc"

This is exactly what I am doing to myself at the moment and as much as I know it's doing me in I just can't seem to stop it. Maybe I will give hypnosis a try too

Everyone to their own.

I enjoy a drink, usually go out twice a week to meet up with good friends, and will carry on doing so.

While I respect your choice, I do not see why people should preach to others.

Most 'reformed drinkers' lost control of their drinking, I have not, and neither have my friends.

Enjoy your new choice of sobriety, but let others decide for themselves.

How was the OP preaching to anyone else? I read it as a personal story and a message to others in a similar boat

Personally I would have waited for the police and given my eye witness account of what happened. Surely that's the right thing to do.. I'm surprise pd by the number of posts saying they would flee the scene ASAP, not get involved etc.

Good luck. Your best bet is to order some on the internet although delivery could take a week or more.

Awful isn't it. Beautiful women on tap but no mince pies or Christmas pudding. Life is cruel.?

Lol. Yeah, I hear you. Told you it was a daft question.

As in the Christmas version back in th UK as opposed to a meat pie. Yeah it may be a daft question but I really fancy 1..or 10 lol

Thanks in advance

Remember the guy that went 'missing' in Bangkok? Last year I think. Seems to be a similar story here. Inconsiderate <deleted>

Central festival department store is as good as any...

does seem to be a fair few stories of foreigners in some sort of distress recently though.

He doesn't look 'savagely' beaten to me. Not a mark on his face, sprained wrist? I'd hate to see the headline if somebody actually was 'savagely' beaten

I had very similar problems with service, installation etc a cple of months back. I can relate to your frustration. However, I only paid around 1500 bt so seems odd that you had to pay over 7k. Good luck with it

Thanks guys.. Good to hear others have similar 'faith' in their abilities lol

Thank you kitten kong. Maybe I went wrong by dialling 1155
