Francois - "Bring it with you" is, I supsect, the answer that you expected, and rightly so (sadly). If you get here and find a supply of all these goodies, then do, please, let us know and we will be hugely grateful. If not, then mai pen rai - we'll all keep looking. I asked 'poosmate' for...

How sad it is to see such a usually fine establishment so easily villified by doubtful writings. Dtai-mai told me himself how pleased he was to discover All in Hua Hin and the contents of its fridges less than a year ago, but now, it seems, it has sinned. Others have had problems with the precise or...

Woken up again...

Does anybody have any experience of the TOT version of Ipstar? They are offering a 1024/512 service for 2600 Baht/month as opposed to my 256/128 Loxinfo service for about 2k. Should I change? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance -

Takiap -

Did you find one in the end? If so, where? I have been meaning to try my own sausages for some time, but no machine (and no skins) makes it a bit more difficult, so any info would be hugely welcome!

Many thanks Hulltoon!

I know where you mean, although didn't know that there was a repairer there. Will try it next time we visit the Big City!

Have fun -

Steve I agree with you and VS, but many's the time I have been told to 'do the math' by one of our ex-colonial colleagues. I smile in an insulted sort of way. Totally agree with VS about adverbs. "How's it going?" (Itself a stupid question.) "Good!" NO! You cannot be 'going good'...

can work his way around UTorrent like Torveil & Dean on an ice rink. Thank you, VS, but I don't think so. More like the proverbial bull in the china shop, but I get there somehow... Mr. C - if you can build your own website and other horrid things like that, then you will be able to handle this...

Glad you got yourself sorted and didn't have to resort to Ipstar. As my other half (The Vital Spark) has said elsewhere (I think that she posted it on the wrong forum!) we live about 35kms west of Hua Hin, with no hope of a telephone line and very weak mobile signal, so we had to go the ipstar route...

Dai-mai - While I don't actually live in Hua Hin or Cha-Am, I may be able to help. I actually live in a small village tucked away in the mountains towards Burma, but one of my near neighbours has a 'sip-lor', and he may therefore be happy to help you out. I don't no the owner as such, but I do no a ...

There, my friend, or indeed, my friends, you have made a singular (or plural?) mistake. While the rest of you have been having picnics and sleeping on platforms, covered with nothing more than 'Hello' magazine, and generally been wandering around the last millenium, I have been researching the lates...

DM - Please get your facts straight - I mentioned the '49 rules, not the '39 set. They are, as you may recall, completely different. One was inspired by research into the co-relation between eating cabbage and drinking alcohol (some Russian influence there, I think), while the second concerned itsel...

Surely Finchley Central would have had a bit more class? Or are you hiding something? You are either extremely intelligent or mildly stupid - do tell all... Anyway, are we playing the extended gambit, or the compressed one? I am assuming that it is the extended one, but even then we have to understa...
