He has replied,so maybe an apology is in order from you guys now he has explained himself.

Good one, and they can't be any worse than 1-2 Go.

I welcome intelligent criticism, just not the ill-informed kind.

Talking about a profession: my original profession is in communications.

Alan,

According to the Cambridge Dictionar BTW sensational is not only good:

2 DISAPPROVING describes news reports and articles that are intended to excite or shock people rather than be serious:

Some of the more sensational Japanese newspapers have given a lot of coverage to the scandal.

Ok . . . is that everything I write, or just some of it, or all of Phuketwan's reporting? You must have read most of it to make such a sweeping generalisation.

And, no, sorry, I am not going to give you examples here, there have been plenty over time, I even recall we had a discussion earlier about this, and just as in this thread, you refuse to open yourself to crticism from anybody else, so what is the point?

Whyen I still did visa runs, I used A1 (Mike's bikes in Chalong) a couple of times. And I was as happy with them as possible for these trips.

I stand corrected, IMO your journalism is sensationalism.

So I'm sorry, we don't agree on this.

We drove down Soi Samakee today - jeez, what a lot of potholes! Unfortunately you cannot access the little soi for the restaurant as they're doing drainage stuff down there. It didn't look like there was adequate access for pick up trucks anyway, so I guess we'll have to give this one a miss - what a shame.

guess everyone agrees with me for once.

You are entitled to your opinion, even though it's nonsense. Huggy's headlines were sensationalism at its worst.

Our journalism is sensational.

Let's see a few sensational and original posts from you.

They mostly started out thinking that they'd meet some farang that would give them a new life.

And I am convinced, these girls form the vast majority of the bargirls. The ones just doing it for the money with plenty of boyfriends are a minority. Most bargirls are just looking for somebody to take care of them, and will leave the business as soon as they can (unfortunately quite a few of them never find somebody to take care of them and end up with nothing).

where on Soi Samakee, please?? Easy to find?

You can get a good wide field of view snorkeling mask at about 1200 (but not in dive shops usually)

Objective!?! you're a joker! To trash another mans' country the way you did with the language you used, is nothing short of being nasty, racist and just a bloody fool.

This policeman tries to show who's boss by kicking a defensless animal, and yet you try to make it sound like the OP is the inadequate one, strange. And who was there first is very relevent. If you don't like the way someone has their house, fences, or animals they keep then you shouldn't buy the plot of land next door, and if you do you have no right to complain.

However, him being the main police officer in the area changes things. The policeman may be the inadequate one, but the OP has really no options except move or accept.

I appreciate your comment but fortunately he's not a drinker and I'm betting has a lot to lose with pettily motivated violence on a legally residing foreigner

huggy i requested you to stop answering me

You're rants are amusing to read, that's it.

No, the fish is not dark enough for a Starry puffer (Todd, your latin and common names don't match BTW).

Giant Puffer, Arothron Stellatus.

Not cheap.

Good to know. Will check them out soon. Flints One in Rawai though is 5 minutes for me, Bastogne a lot further away. How are their prices?

I am informed that all PTT stations open 24hrs

I think there are 3.

One you found already, there is the Shell station at the Heroines monument, and I think one omre, no idea where though.

The thinking now is don't go out on your own to Kata and drive back, if you do you are asking for trouble.

Reasoning? Self evident, isn't it?

When in doubt, don't hand out.

best intentions as always - I am impressed.
