Re: The thing you miss the most?

Not the right thread, but a one off opinion. As mentioned a bit above, the thing we may miss most in the future is our money, and not only due to inflation or strength of the Baht. With the baby boom generation now in full retirement swing, I have a gut feeling that in 2012 or 2013 at the latest we'...

Re: The thing you miss the most?

1) Four seasons. The longer you're here the subtle changes in foliage, animal habits and temperatures is recognizable. The further north one is the better of course. It's not even close though to full blown seasonal changes that most of us grew up with. I really miss a year being separated in that w...

Re: Squat Toilets gotta love em(not)

The wife started carrying "baby wipes" when our daughter was still in diapers. She still does now 6 years later and we all use them when out and nature calls. They're moist, good smelling and most important, made of strong cloth like material and get the job done very well. A pack is about...

Re: Squat Toilets gotta love em(not)

If you have any Thai women in your extended family here, over 60, take a look at their knees when the opportunity arises. All of them have knees the size of melons that I attribute to decades of squat toilet use, and their habit of squatting to do just about everything that us westerners would do on...

Horrible, horrible, lack of consistency.
Yes, makes the Newcastle match even more "iffy". Bring on Carroll and see what he can do. Pete :cheers:

Re: POLL: Are you addicted to the Internet?

Yes, I think so. However it feels really good when I get away from it for a few days, and really bad when I get back on and see a hundred emails to be answered. I suffer no withdrawal when gone from it, except wondering what's going on with the forum. :D As DTM said, addicted to a forum and the inte...

Re: Top 10 cars in Thailand for 2011

Quite like the BMW and Hyundai on the ''sensible'' cars...... but you must be having a bloody giraffe on the prices!! Could get a decent house in HH for the price of a 2ltr Diesel....... True, and that's a frame of mind you have to get rid of if one moves here and wants to buy a car, or it will dri...

Re: Top 10 cars in Thailand for 2011

Yes, I think the article would have been better if they split it into two top 10 lists: 1) Cars manufactured or kit assembled here. 2) Available by import only. Pete :cheers:

Don't forget, SM leans towards the movies sometimes. #4 may be Marlon Brando. #3 probably Hitchcock. #2 Lincoln or Walter Brennan? #1 Jimi Hendrix? Pete :cheers:

Week 19 is almost upon us already and the Liverpool - Newcastle match is now a ? in my mind. Liverpool has to turn things around soon though, and they're at home. Pete :cheers:

Re: IKTS 2011/2012

What a disappointment :( ...all the way around. Looks as if my comment on the other thread about party weary players was spot on. Why was the Arsenal game postponed. Is the weather bad there? Pete :cheers:
