Re: UK passport renewal has not arrived

One of the reasons I got out of the Civil Service. Job numbers were being cut beyond what was practical. Interestingly, my old post had to be filled a couple of months after they released me. Somebody actually realised that I had been doing a job after all :?

When I got my laptop back after repair recently, I couldn't get anything 'video' to work. Java script wasn't turned on.

Re: World Cup 2014

Well, England went into the game against the mighty Honduras with their probable starting 11 to play Italy. Surely this would be a walkover for a team ranked amongst the world's 10 best. It would definitely be worth losing a little beauty sleep to see the lads go into the World cup finals with a mig...

Re: Christian Church Services

When I was up Soi 94 a few weeks back, I noticed a church had popped up in the shop houses between Suey Vista and Oy Restaurant. No idea if its Christian though (I just assumed it was).

Re: The Rugby Thread

Well to be level against the All Blacks with 12 minutes to go, and fielding such a weakened side, it doesn't bode well for the remaining games for New Zealand.

Re: Is there a tourist slump in Hua Hin/Thailand?

I was looking yesterday to find a hotel for some friends who will be coming to Hua Hin over the Christmas period. I looked at 8 hotels, and 2 were already fully booked.

OK, a busy time of the year, but people are still coming.
