just hope the Yids do us a favour next weekend and beat the Mancs!

Under normal circumstances I would totally agree

What if United were to beat us and go on to win the league. Tough choice for you Mr B-J....

Anyway we'll be looking to nick at least a point as I don't believe they are as strong as previous seasons.

Now we've shown you how its done how many goals are you lot gonna score against the scousers?

^Hope everything works out OK for you Big C.

Speechless unexpected and happy!

Might join you later....

Rikki Fulton humour.

The air fares are too expensive from BKK to Samui, it's almost the same fare as BKK-Hong Kong flight and with those international flight, ou have your own tv screen on each seat with meal and it's 3 hours flight.

Why it has to be so expensive?

Why Air Asia can do cheaper in the international flight and BKK Airways and Air Asia have the same plane quality.

Why you are so greedy????

I am Thai and have to go there twice a month to Samui, it's so high cost to me.

Could you please answer this, if you could have read my comments..

You answered your own question. Monopoly=Greed. Until there is fair competition on this route nothing will change unfortunately.

to be honest, this happens worldwide, not only in thailand.

if you put a sausage outside your door, the dog will eat it.

no way the ants or birds would be there first

I left my mate's dog some breakfast on the balcony of his house in Trinidad. A couple of minutes later I hear him yelping and find him cowering in a corner while a few birds are feasting on his grub and a couple give him a malevolent stare. An easy mugging.

He's not such a big fan of alfresco dining these days.

Sorry I can't remember if it was sausages tho.

After the debacle of last summer trying to organize a party I suggest getting a local place to just have drink specials or BBQ for TV members and let everyone know about it via the forum. If they want to come or not it's up to them. Do not try to over organize the thing. That's what killed it last year. Just get the first one under the belt, hopefully it will build interest, you'll learn something that will help make planning the second one bigger and better.

Don't worry koheesti I remember.

I just hope it is as exciting as the last few games.

With both sides needing all 3 points it should be a cracker. Normally I would hope to see the best team win but...

Smokie, you have been elected. Tell us the date.

Ok accepted. I will let you all know the details in the next couple of weeks.

Yes and people needing Visa advice could call the Embassy. Legal advice, a lawyer. Advice on their partners, a marriage guidance councillor. Thai language, give CMU a call - or buy a book. Heck, lets just close the forum down, no need to discuss anything.

Complete nonsense! Thailand will be a recipient of this problem & as such, no advice can be offered from Thailand.

If people are having problems, which is fully expected in such situations, nobody telephones Thailand & says, "Hi. I can't leave my country because a volcano has erupted. What should I do?"

Also, if anybody is seriously interested how such an eruption could affect their flight, I'm sure that the 1st contact is the airline & not Thaivisa.

Of course it doesn't affect anyone travelling from Thailand to Europe at all why would anyone imagine it could anyway?

Especially in silly season.

Of course, scores of times, or I wouldn't know it to crave it. There is no substitute for Ethiopian flavors.

I've never been to Africa but I love the flavours of Trinidadian cooking especially curry duck and calaloo. Doubles for breakfast as well is fabulous!

Lamingtons??

Never had alamington with fresh cream and jam..Dont know what your missing,,yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Small square of moist sponge cake covered in a thin chocolate icing and coconut crumbs - usually cut in two and jam and crwam inserted.....

DE..............licious..................... sorry thats cream not crwam

Sounnds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.

6. Ethiopian combination platter

Looks mouthwatering were you lucky enough to taste it JT?

Lamingtons??

seems like there's more scots on this forum than I expected....and they're coming out of the woodwork on this thread!!

If you listen closely you can tell east from west as well. Different tastes there but we all love our grub.

Its true Arsenal had way more possession but they couldn't find any way through our defence until Van Persie started. And then Gomes proved his worth.

Their defence were disorganised by comparison and we deserved our goals.

Thanks for the offers but I am meeting some ppl so it's either Samui or Khao Lak..

Any ideas if Samui has any similar properties to the nice resorts on Phuket and Khao Lak which are kid friendly at reasonable rates?! (JW marriott, Le Meridien etc...) multiple pools??

Alternatively, any chance of finding something similar to Ko Tao on Samui (quiet, picturesque, private cabins etc... view of the water..)

http://www.maenamresort.com/

This place has a large family accomodation and a great beach for swimming with the kids. Easy to get to Koh Tao from here for some diving too.

Very friendly place for kids.

Look what happens when there's no Fabragas for Arsenal ?? They go & lose 2-1 to a Team that lost 2-0 against a Championship Team 3 days previous..

If the term 'World Class' is reflected in the effect a player has not only in his own performance but inspiring his team to a higher level of play then I have to nominate Ledley King. I hope he plays on Saturday but that's unlikely. Unfortunate for us and England fans too.

Reina is a great keeper but I'm happy enough with Gomes thanks as he's improved hugely this season.

My flight to heathrow has just been canceled. I'm now stuck in a guesthouse in Tripoli I'm now on for a flight on Saturday. I only hope everything is ok by then. What do you think?

The weather across England has been great for the last few days but is set to change tomorrow with high winds and a drop in temperature over the weekend so hopefully this should move things on.

Anyway you could always take a flight to the Med and sit it out in the meantime.

^ Beat me to it!

Print off the e-mail and take it with you for confirmation. Although all you should really need is your passports.
