Great idea. I hope they can pull it off.

sure can,

if they use chinese workers .

That is exactly what they will be doing. This line is of great interest to the Chinese as it will finally connect into China.

The engine will need one of those American V front bumper to skim off the track buffalo, washing lines, venders, motor bikes, jay walkers, red shirt village signs, suicide potentials, straying motor vehicles.

Given that the Chinese high speed trains run on elevated track. It would have to be one hell of an athletic buffalo to get up there.

A serious question: Is there something wrong with the drinking water or the air in Pattaya, or are these 'balcony jumps' just copycat suicide attempts?

Nobody drinks water in Pattaya Semper.

If she is an illegal, why not take her back to her country of origin and marry her there. I guess it will be a neighbouring country so don't see it being a big problem. Then you can both enter Thailand legally.

Vientiene Laos

Is this game being shown on UBC ?

That's the big question Card, I hope so.

This article was written by Robert Woodrow and ripped from his blog. Nothing to do with the OP. Woodrow has interviewed numerous past Thai PM's

I'm not against it either Gerrard is a 100% player and unlike a few others I think that he is proud to play for his Country. The other shocker for me is Caroll over Crouch based on the last 2 games of the season. Crouchy has been a lot more consistent this season. Anyway I really hope that Roy has got it right and we get some pride back in English football.

Again we get the Gerrard and Lampard combination which has proven to be unworkable in the past. We don't have a hope in hell in this competition.

Gerrard has just been confirmed as captain. Safe to say he'll be starting then.

..and Terry will undermine him again..

I concur.

Well Lucid he is the best option I think. At least he can organise the team.

I'm a little surprised at the Carroll inclusion. Thing is, if he'd chosen the other way around, people would be saying where is the youth?

Hodgson's damned either way.

Damned because it's the same old same old.

Oh dear Terry picked again. Aside from the pending racist case against him, he has been in lousy form lately. Particularly in Chelsea's last game against Liverpool. I was hoping for more young blood.

Pattaya suicide capitol of the world. I guess it was a cry for help because he did not jump from the top floor of a large public building. Very sad and I hope he recovers.

I really enjoyed living in Bangkok, but wanted to set up home in Thailand and the property prices were to high for me in the capitol. It is a very special city in my opinion. Good luck with the slogan!

Oddly enough my Husky much prefers fish and rice to any other dog food.

I have a husky and they make great pets, but they are hard work to look after and like loads of attention. Maybe not a good first pet as Meatboy says.

Each to their own opinions.

I quite like Bangkok in small doses, & tourists/visitors can keep themselves occupied for days/weeks doing various stuff in and around the capital.

I kept myself occupied for 9 years. Do I get a star?

My Thai sister in law opened a Thai whiskey bar outside her house. just a bar selling the strong multi coloured Thai whiskey and she was doing very well by local standards. Within a week...............

a free market would dictate that in this situation the one that did it best would triumph.

A friend of mine opened up a coffee and sandwich shop beside another enterprise that was offering a similar, but inferior service.

her prices were higher, the quality of her coffee and food were better, and, most importantly, her service was far superior in that she could serve 2-3 people in the time the competition took to serve 1.

she was able to do this because she was organised and actually took the time to observe the competition and determine where they were going wrong.

happy, well trained staff, an understanding of the product, customer relations, well-defined processes and quality control drove the competition out in a matter of months.

others have tried in the area and since failed.

I completely agree Nocturn and just for your info the others also faded away quickly.

Left Swampy for Shanghai on the evening of the 12th May 22.00 and was in and out of immigration in around 2 minutes. It took around 15 Minutes to get through security even though there was a large queue. Things appear to be a lot more organised and there are more staff directing people. This is a huge improvement, so long may it continue. Credit where credits due.

how about MBK ,400 mobile shops crammed next door to each other on the same floor ......

does it make it easier to harder to choose a phone ?

I just never know which one to choose, so go for the nearest first.

Even worse that that in the shopping malls. They have the entire floor selling the same product, but this is not just a Thai thing works the same across Asia.

I am wondering if there is something wrong with the lines. My True move Internet for the past 2 days has been an Internot. It took almost 10 mins to load this page. My friend on TOT is having the same problem. Pattaya area. The overseas sites usually give the most MICT returns.
