You may have to settle for strips cut from a foam food take-away box. Pete

Kee tak. Never heard that one. I suggest to use only tong ruang ท้องร่วง (diarrhea) in the pharmacy. Kendo do you have any idea how you spell that in Thai? And if not, how it is pronounced: tek, taak or taek? prcscct do you mean khaao nieow ( ข้าวเหนียว )? Yes, that's it. If you say it fast it stil...

All learning books, language schools and dictionaries have their own transliteration system. As soon as you can read Thai that obstacle is dealt with. Last one from me: kee nieow ( ขี้เหนียว ) = to be stingy If you have time Roel, write the kee-niell meaning sticky rice so we can see the comparison...

Thai dogs are corrupt just like many things here. If you're dealing with the same pack all the time a pocket full of dog biscuits may be better than the stick/spray. Of course they'll come to expect a treat and god help you if you forget them one day. Pete

Yes, overnight it has gone to 31.0 USD and 50.0087 GBP. I haven't seen it at that level in a long time. Pete

Four races in now and four different winners. I thought wow, are we on our way to a season record with the most different winners? Probably not per the below, but possible. I couldn't find a stat concerning the most different winners consecutively starting with race #1. If someone can find that one ...

Shock horror.......... ...........Terry gets the prize for advancing the most positions, 2............ OK Pete What is it? All expenses trip to the Singapore GP? :duck: I was thinking of the Hanoi GP. :wink: You do have the honour though of being in line to knock off RZR who continues to torment me...

Vettel is back, at least for this one race, but I have a feeling we'll see more of him. Vital Spark and I picked him to win. Vital Spark, Terry and I had the best race with 8.3 points. RZR has taken over first place followed by Terry, Pitsch and JJ Bones. Terry gets the prize for advancing the most ...

Just a brief infotorial which can be added to as other places are discovered. Probably surprising to some that the below is at the Sattahip Thai Navy base. Facilities and restaurant right near the shoreline, and a variety of tropical fish nibbling at your toes. They take real good care of the enviro...

Talk to some unmarried Thai women and see what they say about marrying a Thai male. In the majority of cases you'll get every negative descriptive adjective in the Thai dictionary. Why do you think us farang males are in such high demand? :mrgreen: Seriously per what I've been told, the chances of a...

So who is coming up, Reading, Southampton and West Ham, or is there still a playoff to come? Pete

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Bahrain were cancelled at the last minute. If you see anything, please post. Pete

^ Well, i'll looking to consolidate my mid table placing this season (had a lot of injuries etc etc etc :wink: ) & hopefully fend off Pete, who's been tugging at my shirt tails for the past month or so :cuss: :mrgreen: Indeed. I kick the table each week when seeing you're still a few points ahe...

Pete Apparently boric acid is very effective at wiping out those small red fire ants. You just sprinkle some near their nest. They carry it back to their nest, and it kills the entire colony. The trick is of course, where does one find boric acid? :D So far I've not managed to find any here in Hua-...
