For those of you who don't know, Luciano Pavarotti died today at the age of 71. He had been ill for a long time and cancer finally took him........For those who don't know, he was a famous opera singer and he also accompanied Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in The 3 Tenors, performing all over the world.....In the Uk he will be remembered for his interpretation of Nessun Dorma, beautiful and timeless.Here it is , in all it's glory.God bless big feller.
ITALIAN;
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Well after all the hype, advertisment and promotion it's nearly here. A big thanks to all those who have signed - up, if you all do turn up i will be ******* amazed. Our fellow TF'er ghee, has organised a room at Gulliver's , so when you get there just ask for Thailandfriends.Where do i start.........?

Today and friday i went on a school trip to Safari world, near Ramainthra. Friday's trip was with Prathom, who are a great bunch of kids and today i went with the K1 terrors. I don't really have much to do with them but they are a lovely lot and i enjoyed today thoroughly......Some things have been said today about English teachers on the forums, but i don't regret it, i love children and to see them grow into confident English speakers makes it all worth while. Here are a few snap shots of Frid

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just. .

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am
But how many corner
You've Got Love..... Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need
To see me through
Sometimes it seems that
The going is just too rough
And things go wrong
No matter what I do
Now and then I feel
That life is just too much
But you've got the love
I need to see me through
When food is gone
You are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know

Insomnia
I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest,
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,

Ladies and Gentlemen of the kingdom, and the rest of the world i would like to say Good Morning and have a great day.................8-)I'm on holiday at the moment and have absolutely no idea what i'm to do with myself for the remainder, but i'm sure i'll think of something that involves BOOZE.........I have been back in Thailand since November but now i'm having withdrawal symptoms.....What of i hear you shout.......?Since i've been here, i have been eating food like this everyday......I'm not
Hello everyone,Iv'e just got back from a quick holiday from Kanchanaburi, i have just had my total love affair with Thailand rekindled.......A very long time ago i used to live there and thought that when i left i would be ok, well now going back for the first time in over a year and a half i really have missed my friends and the town itself.

"Kiss From A Rose"
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that
HellooooooooooooI'm very happy today, my school breaks up for summer holidays at 12.00pm, then it's drinks time..........The other reason i hear you ask....? Have a great weekend everyone.........8-)
I was on TF today and listening to Radio 1 online ( England's no 1 station ) , when they had a name the song and year....The track they played is this, Born Slippy by Underworld.....This took the country by storm in the golden summer of Euro '96.........
I absolutely love this, It makes me cry when i'm drunk.......PINK FLOYD......When The Tigers Broke Free.
It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.
And old
