  1. BlondieSep 11, 2006 (19 years ago) Hard Rock Café - Singapore
  2. I cant remember exactly but I saw her at the Hardrock cafe in Singapore some years ago now,
  3. When he gets back to Saudi the authorities might be wanting a word with him, Bringing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into disrespect off with your head,
  4. Thai's do this all the time but it never makes the news,
  5. authorities are expected to continue checkpoint operations as part of standard road safety measures, especially during holiday periods. I'm all for that but it has to be fair and not only Farangs getting rinsed, A few weeks back and and the wife were going out for a meal and we needed to drive by the famous Chalong circle here in Phuket it was a Sunday around 4-30 pm quite a lot of traffic, this circle is famous for the police all day and everyday, this time my wife was driving and I was able to observe the amount of Thai's riding bikes with no helmets, they were not getting stopped, I counted as we approached the circle they could have themselves about 20,000 baht in minutes,
  6. Thomas Tuchel, after the World cup
  7. I think that was local Thai people who pitched the tents,
  8. It should have camping spots where people can pitch their tent overnight and by 8 am have to packed up and gone, charge 100 baht a night some young guys will love it, I used to love it, I even used to pitch up on a field near to where I lived, at the weekend,
  9. Obviously a breakdown in communications here, I would say all hotels use a Channel Manager and Vacation Rental Software, The hotel should have received a booking conformation via Channel Manager, the multi booking platform has failed to function, even so the hotel admin will have received an email for every booking from the OTA, (ONLINE TRAVEL AGENTS) My experience Thai's are not good at answering emails, I have had a few experiences where my request have not been answered,
  10. All the Ayatollah's did back in 1979 was turn the clock back 2000 years, I was working there and also on Kish island, 3 weeks before they took over we got out, the hotel we was staying in they blew it up, after we had gone obviously,
  11. It's nothing new, it's been going on for a long time, some years ago we had some knock on our door,
  12. I think Prime Burger is location specific, We have eaten at a few branches in Phuket and always enjoyed our burgers and fries, until we went to the one in the old central, we were both very disappointed, to start with all the tables were dirty nobody had cleaned up, plenty of staff there so no excuse, obviously nobody supervising, The meal we had was the worst we have ever had in a PB place, the bacon was over cooked it seemed like it had been cooked them warmed up when we ordered, infact everything was over cooked, we were really sorry we didn't drive back to the Rawai/Chalong branch on Fishermans way, we know next time to avoid that place.
  13. I hope I put this in the right section, Just to let you guys know about this lady in Hat Yai, a friend of mine bought me a fruit cake for Christmas and had it shipped to Phuket, seem she will ship anywhere, I have to let you all know about this lady who make superb fruitcake. She is in Hat Yai and will ship for you anywhere in Thailand; she shipped for us to Phuket. RUM FRUITCAKE SPECIAL MENU, Because the baker marinates rum for a long time using dried fruits, rum fruitcake is a particular menu item that I have to purchase for a while. One more million to go... However, the dried fruits are marinated until they are moist, supple, and have a rum flavour. Waiting for it is worthwhile. We will prepare a classic recipe, like butter cake, at the shop. European approach. smooth yet substantial cake texture, with a fluffy and broken face. The dried fruits marinated in rum, 100% pure butter, egg, no sugar, and no artificial colour or scent will give the cake a substantial weight. Has only 15% of the elements found in wheat flour. Pay attention to fat, fibre, and protein. Make up with cashews, almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, dried fruits, and oranges that the baker boils. Until it is as sweet as usual, it is not combined. The orange peel will have a delicate, aromatic, and revitalising texture. Here is their Facebook page: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Br53Cpk76/] (https://www.facebook.com/share/1Br53Cpk76/)
  14. I've had people tell me that they bought a house with that deal, I hate to disappoint you there is no such thing, Go and speak to a real Lawyer not your builders lawyer
  15. Cheeky bastards impersonating police officers, who do they think they are?
  16. I'm afraid I have to apologize, I was in the lift last night and there is a certificate I never noticed it before it was high up on the lift wall in the corner,
  17. I had a bit of a run in Saturday with a bunch of Chinese, I was trying to turn the corner and they were all stood in the road I shouted to them to move, and one told me to eff off, Don't pick a fight with an old man I'll just shoot you.
  18. They would take no notice of me, Thats one of many issues I could find fault with in the building, One funny one, at one side of the building to get to one of the car parks there is a ramp, so now you think thats great for people with a wheel chair or walking aid, when you get to the bottom of the ramp there is 3 steps,
  19. Maintenance is not high on the list in Thailand, If it ain't broke then don't fix it, As for building regulations they are a few years behind,
  20. My wife owns a condo and in eight years I have never seen a certificate anywhere, I was wondering is there some regulation about how many lifts there should be per units, One lift is serving 160 units, from what I can see they are getting well used at the moment,
  21. The corrupt police will only accept 100 Baht notes now?
