How much did West Ham pay to own these players? Why would MSI sell them to West Ham for next to nothing? They are owned by MSI. ... the players were impressed by Alan Pardew, the team and the club, that there is no ulterior motive, and that it is just a fantastic coup for the club. ....Now if any o...

I gather that may be a struggle for the lad's family and Mrs T may be willing to drop to THB80,000 and 4 Baht gold. I have jo...

First, I would feel sorry for the guy as he is part of a big and ignorant farang tourist majority who think that any Thai girl with a farang man is a bar girl, married or not....

You are right that you need to think carefully before buying a pedigree dog in LOS. One of the old ladies in Mrs Trotter's Issan village came into a little money and bought herself a "pedigree" poodle at the local market. It was her pride and joy for about a week until word got around that...

12 tuk tuks is plenty for a first year in Brighton. They compete with buses and taxis for passengers.

If you are a passenger and you want to travel by tuk tuk you will be able to do that without too much difficulty.
