    spent the last hour of work getting up to the balck hole - Level 14 The Abyss - Impossible !! :D

    To celebrate Sunderland's promotion and Leeds' relegation to the third tier of English football, Sunderland have launched an all white kit for next season due to our jealousy of the Yorkshire sc ... schoolboys' favourites.

    I thought this must have been a wind up but there in all it's glory on the SAFC homepage was the "White Hot" away strip.

    what ever next ??

    The white cats ?

  3. I am need of a good, reasonably priced curtain maker / curtain rail supplier in Pattaya Area.

    any experience out there ?

    wife is abroad* and has all the details. we recently had curtains made for our new (exceptionally big home) and got an excellent deal from a shop located at Thepprasit Road. top job, no delays, price total approximately 130,000 baht; other quotes were in the range of 250 to 550,000 baht!

    *will try to call wife later (14 hours time difference) and get the phone number for you.

    sounds like a good deal !

    no immediate rush, but if you could forward the details at your convenience I would be much obliged

    thanks

    :D:o

    i am not sure whether forum regulations allow to mention companies and phone numbers. have sent a personal message with details.

    received with thanks :D

    will call them and check out their pricing

  5. I am need of a good, reasonably priced curtain maker / curtain rail supplier in Pattaya Area.

    I have used a supplier from Naklua before on a previous house, but found they were rather expensive.

    For my new house I want to install the triple rail system - outer rail for pelmet curtain, middle rail for curtain and inner rail for net / voil. The two inner rails to have drawstrings (standard stuff I hear you say !!)

    I've looked in the home centres around Pats but only find fahsionable / trendy rail systems, not the bog standard type. I don't know if it's possible to locate the original maufacturer (BKK?) and order by the metre, plus fittings ?

    I have some curtains already but will also need new ones made. I vaguely remember from a previous thread, somebody mentioned a maker on Thepprasit but can't recall where.

    Places I've checked already seem rather expensive !! (Pattaya Ripoff !)

    Surely all it takes is a good seamstress (or male equivalent) and the selected material.

    any experience out there ?

  6. I was looking for such a thing myself here in Khon Kaen. Did not find it.

    I finnaly compromised on sun shield fabric. It comes in green, blue or black and in differnt sun protecting quality. At least your gravel will not sink into the clay. But I guess weeds will grow through it.

    There are also thin black plastic foils for ponds. You may choose the best quality of such foils, perforate it to let water pass, use a layer of sand to avoid clogging of this holes and combine it with sun protection fabric for stability. Then cover it with gravel. This should do it.

    Regards

    Agreed !

    used the plastic fabric on several occasions, original installation going back about 5 years. Works very well, double layered just in case. Very seldomly a weed or wild grass may pop through but doesn't cause a problem.

    cheers

  7. The solution is normally quite simle .....

    first order up the drinks..........

    then off go the "waitrons" to fuss around organising, drinks, glasses, ice bucket, drinks trolley, pouring drinks etc.

    by which time at least 15 mins has passed, people have selected their desired dishes and have started complaing about poor/ slow service

    some you win ...... some you lose
