D-Day has finally arrived for the beginning of the beautification of one of Pattaya's foremost nighttime areas - Walking Street.

The Facebook page of the city council said that the street will no longer have any hanging wires. Work to bury cables will start on February first.

   Surely that must be double D-Day. We're undoubtedly in double figures regarding the number of times we've been told about burying cables. I wouldn't be surprised if it's also double figures regarding the number of years since they started spouting this stuff.

Being cynical, surely everyone on the council must have a BMW by now, judging by the amount spent on the project every year.

That's what it comes down to, so to speak.

This country was built on low stooping and is a time honoured Thai tradition good to see Thailand returning to it's roots!

With the emphasis on the last word of yours above.

It's called saving face. 

I thought perhaps Saving Private Ryan? Or should that be Saving Seaman Ryan (that's not an order - there was no comma).

Thai airways stewardesses could probably help you out... but  hurry they may not be flying  much  longer.

I thought they'd diversified into street food now? I suppose even doing that, they may not be frying much longer.

Does that mean they'll be heading straight to the GoGo bars in Cowboy then Pattaya?

He was definitely not referring to an image of the country from yesteryear but a brave new way forward to attract "quality tourists".

Your phrase 'brave new' makes me think of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. A frightening idea.

Will the Alpha and Beta quality tourists be herded around to see the Epsilons doing their menial work?

They defiantly 'recycle' them like this. The form I was given once for proof of address was on the back of a passport and visa photocopy. 

Yup, I said exactly the same thing in another thread last week.

She had to resign over that egg fiasco. But 10 years later she was proved to be right.

 

I thought John Major was a bit mean to her. Didn't mention her in his book.

 

Getting on a bit now, but I wonder if she is as hairy as Ali G said she was.

Didn't John Major also have an affair with Edwina Currie later on in life when he was married? Perhaps that's why he didn't mention her?

Can you enlighten us regarding the Ail G reference - or a link?
