Keeps

Very easy to make for yourself Stocky if you have an oven (even one of them small table top ones but needs to be pre-warmed and hot as you can get it). Tip for the batter - even amounts by measure in a cup of eggs, flour and milk beaten. Pinch of salt, leave it for an hour at room temperature. Quick whisk with a fork before you are ready to cook. Never fails for me. Quick browning of your sausages and good to go. Don't even need anymore oil if the sausages have released some but if you do, make sure it's hot, pour on the batter. Never, ever open the oven door for at least the first 15-20 mins.

Looks suspiciously like a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pudding to me... 555

The brand is, but I can assure you, they are not made in Argentina.

Had a pretty decent one in Chiang Mai yesterday. And before anyone asks, no, that is not my unwashed grundies on the table. It's thread the Mrs uses for her needle craft.

I will probably get shot down in flames for this. Nowhere near as good as a homemade one but when needs must...

What was you thinking?! You've opened up a huge can of worms now. Just wait for the usual suspects to come along. Apparently, there is no good British food. 555

I did this journey last week. Booked a private car transfer from CM to CR, turned out to be a private minivan. Just the 2 of us in a 7 seater. I was genuinely petrified. The guy drove like a maniac to catch-up and overtake any vehicle in front, then pootled along until he spotted another vehicle, then same again. We decided to get the Greenbus back which was a slightly more sedate affair (until I needed a tinkle - not advisable on those bendy roads - think more went on my trousers than down the pan).

Or you could open a new thread regarding the topic you are discussing. It's not often I agree with BN but I do in this instance. This topic is about managing forum toxicity, not US politics. I'm not having a pop, I usually enjoy your posts but in this case they are way off topic.

What did you do? Kick her into submission?

Hannon - If you know that you definitely won't be staying for longer than 90 days then SETV (single entry tourist visa) via the online Thailand Embassy London website may be your best bet. This will allow you initial 60 day stay with 30 day extension available via the immigration office where you are located. No harsh financial requirements. You may experience a few confusing questions (online) to apply for this which are not relevant. If confused, message back to this thread and many people will give you the correct answers. If this is not the best advice, other posters will be along to push you in the right direction.

Wise words indeed. You could do yourself a mischief. I'm having an afternoon in the bar with a few beers. By way of precaution I've had a "warm up" can of Singha at home to ensure I do not encounter such problems.

Don't keep us waiting, what does it taste like? I know it's still early but you need to take one for the team and crack it open! 555

I thought it was compulsory, if not the law, to be a heavy drinker in Scotland?

Not your mum? 555

Nice of you to share a picture from the family album. 555

There is a soi in Lamai on Samui commonly known as Soi Kee Ma. It's a strip of bars. Before it was paved you had to hop down it foot to foot dodging the dog $#it. I used to look like I was doing some weird tribal dance. Also made checking out the bars/ladies quite difficult as it was constantly eyes on the ground.

I do hope not. I think that is the time he is planning on "going for a jump".

Who's confused? Is that you transam?

That will never happen. They both thrive off of antagonising each other. Pretty much ruins every thread though.

When I first came to Thailand late 90's mobile phones weren't that common. I got friendly with an Italian restaurant owner and his wife had a telephone which you could use to phone home for a fee. She was a rather large lady and her name was Mo but I spent the first week calling her moo. At the time I didn't know this was the Thai word for pig.

Wow, that's got to hurt. The little fella looks quite coy about it.

You girls normally wait until around 5pm before you start bickering....

A truly amazing innings and that's from a Pom! Can't see anyone beating India though in their own backyard although the Aussies are looking good after a poor start. I'm dreading keeping an eye on the England v Netherlands game later this afternoon....

I don't think he was having a pop at you to be honest. From his previous posts he's not that sort of chap. Very pleasant in general. I think it was a comment aimed at others. He may well prove me wrong with a response but I think he was just responding regarding the 500 baht.

Well, if this one gets boring, GG has just started another completely mental thread...
