  1. I would love to show/watch the final but the only Supersport feed that can be received in CM is the Rest of Africa rather than the South African feed. The 20/20 was dropped from RoA because Indian cable operators were stealing the feed to show the games incurring the wrath of the official Indian broadcasters. So unfortunately I don't think anyone can pick it up. As Bangkok Blue says internet is your best bet.

    Shame as it will be a cracker although after last nights performance the Aussies have got to be favourites.

  2. It is Holland's Queens Day on Friday and Tuskers will be holding our annual Koninginnedag party.

    We will be serving croquette, bitterbal and frikandel, have a drinks promotion and will be playing some traditional and not so traditional games (spijkerpopen and beer pong).

    Festivities start at 7pm and if previous years are anything to go by it is liable to get quite wild.

    If you would like to come all are welcome and if possible please wear orange.

  5. I've just finished Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, very enjoyable thrillers. Shame he passed away after writing the third book I think it's a series that had more legs.

    For something Thailand based John Burdett's Bangkok series are a good read and James Clavell's Asian saga books are superb.

  6. Congratulations on the twins I am sure you have your hands full :)

    I do not know whether nanny is an occupation permitted for foreign nationals. You apply for a work permit at the Labour Office at City Hall. It is on the left hand side of the inner court yard of the main City Hall building. I have always found them to be extremely well run and helpful and I am sure they will be able to answer all your queries.

    Good luck.

  7. Some time ago I asked Siam Commercial (Tha Pae Road) to do a valuation and survey on a property for me. It was very in depth covering local searches, all the deeds and plans, state of the building etc etc. It ran to 17 pages and was very impressive. All in Thai so I had to have it translated. It cost 5,000 baht.

  8. Contact Daeng at May37. In my view the best architect in Chiang Mai Lectured in the US for 14 years so works using western practices and because he's Thai he can liaise with builders and make sure you do not get ripped off etc.

    Make an appointment and go and see him you will not be disappointed
