Another term (or at least thats what I think it is) thats been creeping in to posts recently has been a series of 5s eg 5555 or 55555.

Can anybody tell me what this means please?

I lay upon a grassy bank;
My hands were all a quiver;
I slowly removed her suspender belt;
And her leg fell in the river.

Jaime, The point of this thread was to try and find out how it is enforced Sorry, I was distracted by my side conversation with Buksida. Anyway, I still maintain that the one way that people will get found out at the age of 20 is if they continue leaving and entering Thailand using their Thai passpo...

Buksida, I've just received the response from the Thai Embassy in London ie: We regret that the information for birth registration is avaliable in Thai only. Persumably, your wife should be able to assist you as the forms must be completed in Thai. In referrence to Thai Law, individual who are over ...

Unfortunately the new gallery wont include the bar section
I'm sure there are good reasons, but why exclude the bar areas - probably the one thing that regular visitors to Thailand have most in common?

Rob, No, this time the cheapest we found was with BA, not sure what they're like nowadays. I wish you luck with terminal 4. Travelled with BA a couple of months ago, and it took us 4 hours to get air side. Have spoken to several other who have travelled recently, and they had similar experiences. Do...

I can't understand the comments I'm seeing regarding cost. I assume it is expensive compared with something else in Thailand. I have had occassion to visit San Paulo on 2 seperate occassions. The first time it was free, the second time, which included 5 subsequent visits to have my wound re-dressed ...

Dan, Thank you very much for an interesting and informative story. It doesn't affect me personally, being a non-smoker, but I have a lot of friends who buy in bulk prior to visiting Thailand - not being that keen on the Thai brands. I will certainly pass your warning on. Regarding Thai customs, I've...

prcscct asked:
why did France win in France 8 years ago
Probably home advantage - nothing to do with being the best team. Unlike the English team in 1966 - the best by far.

what happened to Beckman's name up there?
He'll probably grab a couple, but its his pinpoint accuracy thats been making the England goals of late.
