Chonburiram

Whatever Italy and Uruguay does, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake see the English get asshanded by Costa Rica?

Emphatic victory for Argentinia.

Free kick for any foul.

Verbal warning, like: you do something like this again and I will show you yellow/red... mostly does the trick.

Yellow card for a player who intends to gain advantage through his irregular action.

Red card for gross violation of the rules or after the second yellow card.

I hope he will be Englands coach until his late 80's...

Yeah!

what a disgrace! Uru, <deleted> this losers!

Making my heart race now. Won't be able to sleep

-*I typed this myself*-

Same here; feel sorry for the African team... can't sleep and will watch Uru send the English back to their sad island... that will make my night.

2 digit victory for Holland...

He is probably a better actor also.

Mueller a better actor than Ronaldo? Are you serious?

Congratulations for kicking the habit!

...but the traffic has become horrendous...

^ This is what you will find in and around Pattaya... Nowadays i avoid Pattaya at all costs, only when it is inevitable i go, in an anti-cyclic pattern, like only between Mo - Do, only between 9:00- 11:00 or 13:30- 15:00,

or early Sunday mornings.

Imagine bring and pick up a kid to/from school in Pattaya gives me a headache.

Maybe Ban Chang, (Maptaput, Rayong, Pluak Daeng, Borwin) with his industrial setting gives you better business opportunities as well? Btw, Ban Chang is somewhat the "livingroom" for the middle/upper management people who work in the area.

...Even Ban Chang is not that much farther from BKK if you take the 36 or 331. Much cheaper also.

I think for the OP's needs way better than buzzing Pattaya! More tranquil, more upper class, cheaper; make your immigration visits nearby in Mabtaput - no comparison to the freak show you have to endure at Pattaya immigration.

Schools, shops, housing, internet, Ocean, international (non tourist) community, well educated, working Thais (with money), no 24h rush hour, Golf, Tennis, swimming pools, Gyms, no bad reputation ( maybe necessary for business, changing your exotic, lush Phuket address into Pattaya isn't exactly an upgrade...) and so on...

...PS. Forgot to mention that anyone in the Phatthalung area (not an area renowned for its expat community but may be passing through) looking for a beer, real coffee and maybe a home made pizza should PM me.

Thank you, but no thank you,... not with this avatar...

my fave team, Denmark, barely didn't make it to qualify, so I'm adopting debutantes Bosnia-Herzegovina - to at least make to the last 8.

In 1992, in my local Pub, the question came up who will win the EM; Gunnar the guy who only came for playing chess shouted behind his chessboard: Denmark!

Everybody was laughing and informed him that Denmark isn't even qualified... the rest is history.

The following video strictly follows the "no nipples" policy from FB, so i assume it's fit to watch on TV:

5:1 for Italy...

Isn't there a football interested former asian hill tribe PM, who resides near Qatar who would fit perfectly for the job?

early guess: A. Robben, he played a good season in Bayern and with 2 goals against Spain, he continues his great form.

From where to where? What time?

Someone keeps 5 million in jewellry lying around the house !!

Must be one of those guys who does not believe in the safety of money...

Not English, and not a Elgar fan either but honor to whom honor is due: Henry Purcell, Orpheus britannicus, interpreted by the magnificent Dame Janet Baker:

what's that?

The few people I know, including my sister-in-law, who've joined Amway, Herballife etc do not actually work on selling to make a living. Rather, they buy the products at a discount for their own use. Like someone has mentioned, Amway does have some good products, the silicon wax for cars is one.

And I thought i'm the only one... Amway silicon wax user for over 15 years, never bought another Amway product, get it from people like you described, no hardcore sellers.
