Few people would have any idea about how much time and support Stu gave to Mike over the past year. Whereas this journal is not intended to be an ode to Stu, and some people know we are the best of friends, he deserves to be thanked from anyone who liked Mike due to the comfort he was to Mike whilst he was sick and the much needed friendship Mike required during the many times he was incapacitated.
People have a right to think what they want of people, it's a free world, and I know some peopl
I suspended my account recently due to business pressures and so forth as I just needed to focus on the things at hand.I woke this morning to an SMS from Stu advising me about Randy passing away. Such a shock to me given Randy had been pelting me with smart arse pm's for the past week ever since I went off the air. He always had a joke for me and always never ceased to enjoy the banter between Giles the Kiwi, Stu the POM and me the Aussie, he loved it.So I came on to read the tributes to him an
A woman from Sligo of advanced age visited her physician to ask his help in reviving her husband's libido.
"What about trying Viagra"? asks Dr. Flannigan.
"Not a chance", she said . "’e won't even take an aspirin"
"Not a problem", replied the doctor . "Give him Irish Viagra. It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went"
It wasn't a week later that she called the doctor, who directly in
Well I am now back in Sydney having had to urgently return to care for my mum. I'll be in Sydney for at least 3 months at a guess but I will be returning periodically to Bangkok for business reasons.I'll miss not seeing my friends as regular as usual and the ease of being in touch.Forgive me if I am slow to respond to messages as until my cable is installed I have a 56k dial up that is as slow as a dead drovers dog (Stu that means it's very slow).Look after yourselves over there and I would alwa
From The Australian Newspaper : The Australian government has cautioned tourists against travelling to certain areas of Thailand because of the threat of "coordinated bombings'' over the next week.Terrorists may be planning attacks on tourist areas and other places frequented by foreigners to coincide with Buddhist holidays, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said.DFAT urged travellers to reconsider going to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla becaus
Just a bit of a heads up, it's no use hiding your photo album if your setting is slide show, someone can of course just watch your photos from your main Profile page. Peace all.
Does anyone use the local phone cards to phone either England and/or Australia? The quality and service varies so much between providers I was wondering if anyone has found a good provider as I need to make several hours of calling to both countries over the next week.
Thanks guys and gals.
Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl in his office.....but she belonged to someone else...One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her and said I'll give you a $100 if you let me screw you....but the girl said NO.Johnny said I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up. She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend.....so she called her boyfriend and told him the story.Her boyfriend sa
Well it's my mates Stuarts birthday today. I know he didn't want people to know so I'm hoping no one reads this post as I would hate to disappoint him. Please wish him a happy birthday, and be kind to him with your comments, keep your "old" jokes and "digs" about his age down to a maximum of 10,000 words.
Guys and gals the better half of Chef Claudio is out of hospital and recovering. She has some way to go but she is on the mend.Giles, Stu and I went along to see her in hospital and provided her with a printout of your comments from my original post, she was very happy to read them. They helped a lot.
Claudio had his first sleep in a week, I for one wouldn't have wanted him cooking my meal over the past few days.
Fiorellino, Claudio's girlfriend, is in hospital and she is very very sick.She was quite ill on Sunday and was rushed to hospital yesterday. Claudio made a mercy dash to Bangkok when first she became ill last week. Claudio had booked a flight back to Italy when she was improving but unfortunately her conditioned unexpectedly worsened to yesterdays result.Please join me in wishing her a speedy recovery and give a hello to a worrying Claudio.
All of us have got scam emails from Nigeria. Here on You Tube it's payback time, Monty Python fans will especially love it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvyrzQldOKE

I have excellent response times from most of the websites I visit through my cable connection.Lately the response times I get when either logging onto TF or surfing around is very ordinary with several time outs occuring on some days.Anyone else experiencing this, might just be the popularity of TF sure, but sometimes there is not more than a 100 online.Have a great week folks.
Any golfers here know the building, I think it's called Thanakit or something like that, that is the mecca of golf equipment in Thailand?And can anyone recommend a particular shop there? I am looking at Callaway equipment.
Just sitting here at the airport, people watching. Sure get some interesting sights. People from from all countries, religions, shapes, sizes, personalities etc. I guess that's what makes the world go round. Be a boring place if we were all the same wouldn't it.Good gosh, just had a scarey thought, what if we were .................... all Kiwis AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.Then again, could be worse, nah couldn't be worse to be a POM................... could it?Can you tell I'm bored?? lol Have a great day a
I'm heading back to Sydney to spend Xmas and NY with my family in the morning, so I will take this opportunity to wish all my friends a great Christmas and I hope 2007 is full of happiness, health and prosperity for you and yours.Have fun during the holidays all and see you next year.
Well done Toxin and your cronies, maybe instead of taking your 25% of the airport budget for your own bank accounts you should have invested it in the new "super" airport. Remember the statements the TRT made like how it would be the hub of Asia to rival Japan and HK, LMAO. Amazing all that money and it is already stuffed having reached capacity in just 3 months. I am sure the 26 x ray machines have come in handy. Unbelievable.Don Muang airport, which closed in late September after 92 years o
Poor Mark is laid up in hospital with a bad dose of gastric, he will be in hospital for a few days. Join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. My bet is that this is the work of some of the POMS he has been collecting all the Ashes bets from.
I dont know how many fans Schumi has here in TF but I personally think he is a legend in the world of motorsports and as a sportsman generally. Sure one can level criticisms at him for some indiscretions and occasional "bad sportmanship" but you cant take away the other 99.99% of his incredible achievements. I have heard he is actually a very funny guy and not as robotic as many seem to think he is. Anyone interested in getting an insight into him as a bloke would find this website entertaini
Recently on UBC I have seen a couple of new ( I think ) Thai groups who I think are pretty good.One group has 3 guys singing to a very cute girl who sing a song that I really like that has just the following words in English "I'm falling for you". Very catchy indeed.The other group has 3 very cute girls that I believe have True sponsorship, they sing a couple of very catchy tunes, the latter also having some words in English. Whoever is managing these groups is doing a fine job and the inclusion
