you are her sponser right?

Well, don't sponser her anymore.

Someone can probably advise you on what you need to do - but a good place to start might be to call the home office and ask for some advice there.

well, we call it lager...

Why do we need to know her qualifications?

To put youself in his shoes and hope it fits. Seeking for security he is.

Yoda signed up for Thaivisa has he?

PB, you're not exactly selling me on your sweaty old trousers!

How about a slice of pickle?

erm, Scottish beer? it's about 3%

bet you're glad you didn't have to play Scotland tonight?!

I think that I'd go with England.

That'll be why England are 3 points off the top in one of the easiest groups.

Thai beer gives the worst hangover...

My kids will start school when they are six.

Kids are naturally curious and willing to learn anyway and some parental control to avoid watching cartoons all day is good.

In my opinion putting a child in school te the age of 3 is too early. It is a good way when both parents are working but if not then a child can learn a lot from their parents. And bonding with parent and other grown ups will be stronger. The kids also learn from copying adults and being around adults is something that they miss at school.

After other kids come back from school there is enough time to play and socialize.

My kids read /listen to books, like coloring, word and number games, memory, can tell time and are happy to play outside. No pressure for homework or other school stuff.

The plan is to introduce some school like discipline a few months before they go to a real school.

We will set hours when they have to do some reading, counting or whatever subject comes along.

It will make the transfer to a real school easier we think.

Next weekend my daughter (5 year) will go to a classic thai dancing school. She loves music and dance so she will probably like it a lot. This will also give here some experience being in a class where you have to listen to a teacher and being together with other children studying instead of playing.

Looking back i am happy we did not put them in school at age 2-3.

Aren't you worried that they will be far behind kids who will be in their 3rd year of school by then?

canned, steamed desserts - doesn't get more working class than that!

Can it get more boring?

Sure can, to eat it with you!! OH kidding kidding.

Sometimes simple thing is the best of all. How could burger be cooked so much more fancy? C'mon, maybe how you do with ground beef, that's about it.

Some cheese?

jeez, it's like being 14 again...

Give us your recipe to start us off, MrT!

Mine's pretty boring:

ground beef

diced white onion

garlic mash or garlic salt

pepper

bit of paprika

sometimes beaten egg and bread crumbs

mash then all together, make balls and flatten to patties. Put in red hot skillet to brown each side and then turn down to cook, flipping at whim. I like mine BBQed but a frypan works.

Soemtimes I make an onion gravy to pour over them with mashed potatoes. Poor man's steak.

jeez louise Jet, mine's even more boring

beef

salt

pepper

Can it get more boring?

Another alternative is to buy a car and turn up the a/c

wearing a yellow t-shirt beats wearing a shirt and tie any day of the week (particularly on Monday)

How can it hurt not to show flags?

BTW isn't it against forum rules to discuss monarchy?

Mikes is great for 2.30AM when you are pissed and will eat anything!

Usually I was too drunk to remember eating them!

libya

speechless

hmm

Hey folks

I'm looking for a website that I can get thai books, specifically English books that have been translated into Thai. I've tried pink lemon and dco - but they only have those crappy pocket books that can be read in about an hour.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Marks and Spencers in Central usually get in british style chrissy cakes - not cheap though...

BBL is kind of when you use activities to get the brain in gear for learning. I was at Dara last year when they "implemented" it. Basically we were given a sheet of A4 downloaded off of the internet and told to read it and adapt - and that was the last time they mentioned it.

Whether is works as well as any other method is anyones guess really...

hmm, thought that I'd managed to escape Thai bureucracy.

Wonder if I'll leave it for a long while...
