Phazey, I smell a rat here.

This all seems a bit cheesey to me - are you sure this news is true?

Mods - I think we need a separate Current Affairs section, as suggested by Phazey earlier - so we can really examine and comment on the issues at hand.

Have a nibble over the idea and let us know....

:laugh:

If these guys want to eat good, safe food, i reckon the best place to go will be to pick a random "streetside" food stall. No way can a terrorist poison the whole of Bangkok. I also wonder, no matter how remote it is, say these leaders decide to trot on down to Nana or Soi Cowboy - do the bodyguards get to try out whats on offer first "for security reasons"

Phazey, that's why they are called the Secret SERVICE...

...they get to SERVICE the err, Ambassadors of Nana/Cowboy before the Heads of State get there.  ::

Getting back to the food-sampling issue, I think you're right.  Perhaps even now, as we type, GW and other VIPs are browsing over at frequentatore's Restaurant thread to see what kind of dining suggestions are on offer.

I seemed to notice a number of extra "guests" roaming the forum tonight!

bumped...

Dubya is gonna be pissed when he finds no shows at Nana. He is hoping for a new lump in the bed.      

What does a dying mouse have to do with killing a rat?

See my anti-american friends, I have a sense of humour. This is the Thai govt idea (read on BBC), so you can put your conspiracy theories to bed.

Also, hello we are talking Bush not Clinton so Nana is not important. I think Lennon would argue that Bush needed a bit more s*x in his life.

Just what i thought. Itś neigh on impossible to find any Bush in Nana.
