You said seeing gays express affection makes you ill. If I were you, I would consider that a problem, but clearly I am not you, so carry on!

Think for some of us spirit level guys (straight), seeing a guy canoodaling with another guy is repulsive. I have no problem with you or your sexual stuff BUT you must take on board what some/me straight guys feel.

OK,OK you will say that's discrimination but in my eyes it's unnatural and clicks a switch..

I would agree people shouldn't shag in public, gay or straight. But you would be surprised at the hostility sometimes expressed by foreigners in reaction to just two guys holding hands.

I understand, and can imagine it very frustrating, I can recall many many years back in the UK, l was 17 years older than my then wife, l had problems holding her hand in public, thought the world was looking at us, only with age l found l was wrong. .

The guy was talking <deleted>. Different tyres, different surfaces can make tyre noise IF the tracking is OK.

Check for tyre scuff on the edges of the front tyres,if ripped up the tracking is out and will make tyre squeal.

Due to the registration issues, wouldn't it be best to just have a shop rebuild your current engine? I am assuming that this shop gets all their engines and parts from Japan? If so, they would likely be "low mileage" not bebuilt, ya? Just out of curiousity, what sort of price range do these motors sell for roughly?

Best bet is an engine recon. Bore, pistons etc. Hopefully someone can come up with a machine shop near you.

This route you will virtually have a new engine.

Get the heads worked too, new valves if necessary, but usually they can be refaced.

Not from me chum. I crave for a Big Mac and other stuff. Some, me, cannot adjust to total Thai grub but l have made my own pickle onions.

Been hear 3 years now..and was only until the other week seen this falang come into the bar try theses he said pickle onions never thought about making them before, so now i got pickle onions,pickle cabbage.some gherkins and beetroot on the go

+1, well done taff.

LED's, God forbid. The Christmas tree look eh.

Paint finish looks great... but i'm not loving the plastic chrome indicator surrounds. Is that how she came, or is it, dare a say, a Big C parts bin, aftermarket affair, that the Thais seem so fond of plastering over their machines? Just wondering...

Tesco's here do an extension lead that takes UK plugs and others, also a voltage trip for overload (forgot what it's proper name is) but is supposed to protect from voltage surge. The lead has a three pin Thai plug for an earthed three pin socket.

3.000.000 in the bank, starting with 3.000?

Good story, but i know this chinese guy who started with nothing.

Not even good looking, bit of a square face....

Flies around the world now, in his own lear jet.

Aaaaahhh the american dream......

But he didn't get there through washing your smalls eh.

Sure the owner has insurance - it is called self-insured. So now she has to act like the insurance company and engage legal counsel and sue the estate of the party who caused the damaged.

I'd still like to know how they know it's a suicide. How do we know it wasn't some electrical fault or other issue which burned the place down.

I'm assuming as it was a fire there was no note found at the scene.

If the fire was caused by poor electrics perhaps the owner could be sued for his death.

Suicide by fire, don't think so.

THAT would be great news, to find GOOD ENGLISH food.

Somewhat of an oxymoron the words Good English Food all in the same sentence.

## I wanted to say that too but kept laughing when nobody posted a reply to 'Good English Breakfast' Your average pom would eat shit on a stick and rave about how good it is.

Why do yanks have processed cheese chucked on top of everything. ?

My aunt in Ohio said there is a Thai restaurant opened in town, we are going to try it, l said if the waitress says ' dya wan dat wid cheese ' walk out and go have a McD's.

You must not live in Pattaya. We've got British food up the hoo hah 'round here.

There are many Indian dishes that are Machurian. It's a trendy fusion thing, Chinese influenced Indian, I first had it in the US where there are specialist restaurants for it, but I reckon it started a while back in India.

I'm sold, l love Indian food with a passion, and so do most Brits.

Have you tried Sri Ganesh (Indian restaurant in Sukhumvit) or Saras?

No, l am up country. One Indian place, but rubbish.

Time to ask for the 3k back

That is what my friend told me tonight when we went out for supper together at 7: 30. He said it with a laugh because he knen he's never going to get it back. His wife and staff were still working when we left. He didn't realize how much his wife had saved until he checked the books the other day. And, she still gave him a hard time tonight for eating at a farang restaurant when we could have had noodles on the street for a quarter the cost.

And, I lied. It was closer to 7 years she's been doing the laundry... not the 5 years I mentioned.

Sorry ol' chum, but in LOS, 3 mil in the bank, NOBDY WORRIES ABOUT COST OF DINS.

YOU MUST BE A BUNDLE OF LAUGHS TO BE OUT WITH.

HAVE A GO ON THE FINANCIAL CRISIS THREAD YOU WILL FIND SOME LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE.

PS. THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED

(Sorry about CAPS lock)

Yeh, was enjoying a beer (on my own) till l read the topic post. Merry Christmas.

Just take another look at the lines and discrete pressings of the Toyota panels. Take a loooong look . The Toyota has superior design pressings. Especially just behind the rear doors where it meets the truck bed. In the silver colour which everyone seems to buy it is not really visible but in the dark colours you will see the difference. Tonka toy verses design.

it can't be done

Told my mrs, she laughed. BUT, again l take my hat off. ( but locals do tell porkies ).

£60,000 in the bank is a lottery win eh.

My friend gave her 3000 baht to get started again and asked for nothing in return.

From ground zero she started a small laundry business. Five years later she has 3 million baht in the bank, some gold jewelry in investments, has an expanding business and hires 3 loyal staff on a year-round basis.

3 million baht? What kind of "laundry" are they doing?

She started out with just the small stuff for locals and gradually grew to having hotel contracts that really make a profit. Because of her pleasant personality her business continually grows larger. They are now at a point where they might need more staff. She goes to bed about 9 PM and gets up at 5 AM, then starts work almost immediately loading the washing machines. The staff arrives about 6 AM and leaves about 7:30 PM. They all work 7 days a week with no time off except for special occasions. I've been coming to their shop almost as long as they've been in business and I've seen the changes. I watched their lovely daughter grow from a teenager to a young woman now out on her own, and employed by a large company. Don't tell me it can't be done because I've seen it happen with my own eyes. My friend and I sit in front of her shop and try to stay out of the way, or we go walking.

Thought it must be something like that, take my hat off.

I must admit, as soon as 3 mil was mentioned it didn't sound quite right UNLESS we have hotel contracts here.

There must be world wide religious forums catering for all. Keep it there eh.

As it's a biggish wattage user, If there is a loose connection, say a spade connector, the joint will get hot and the heat transfer will melt the wire covering which will give off white smoke and smell of burning plastic.

My gf calls me 'babe' and 'babie'...not sure what that says...

I hate to tell you.

The pictures were slightly disappointing!

I am beginning to wonder about you, as your only friend IS jesus, as you have told us before on other stuff.
