Why not Ibrox? The owners appear to have a money problem and would find the rental income useful.

There was a time in Thailand that if a Thai touched a foriegner they had the book thrown at them - no mercy.

Lately, it seems the police couldn't care less, and its almost "serves them right" attitude with their high and mighty "we're Thai and Thai's do no wrong" attitude. From Jet ski scams to atrocities like this, it just seems these thugs can operate with impunity ...... and all the authorities case about is the odd Russian or Kiwi Body builder that go nuts once in a while: "we have to protect our country from the evil foriegners and foriegn influence".

Thailand either wants tourism and the revenue it brings, or it doesn't. Make up your mind, rule with an iron fist, and make it clear that this kind of thuggary will not be tolerated. Shut down the resort, charge the owners with not vetting their staff correctly and not providing the security they should; throw the perpetraitors to the dogs; make examples of people and hit them where it hurts - in their wallets. But no, what will these clowns get ..... a few years and out in a short stint because the life of a forienger is worth less than the resort owners dog - because believe me if they beat the resort owners dog to death, they would be shot for it!!!

In 1993 we stayed on Koh Samui Chaweng Beach. One night we went out and came back my suitcase was stolen from my room. We suspected the owner, who gavce us back the rent for the room so easily. But we couldn't proof anything. But being at the Tourist Police that day I found out that it happened a lot. At the same time there were 3 other tourists to bring in a "criminal act". So was everything back then so much better as it is now? I don't think so, only now the word gets spread out quickly on the internet.

I would say you enjoyed your porridge this morning CB.

The nasty vulgarity and general tone , insults and arrogance  displayed in post 89 are unbenificial to Ranger's plight . Leave it as  posted  as a reminder to supergers , I hope Rangers move on and leave him standing alone .

A nun walks into Mother Superior's office and plunks down into a chair. She lets out a sigh heavy with frustration.

"What troubles you, Sister?" asked the Mother Superior.. "I thought this was the day you spent with your family."

It was," sighed the Sister. "And I went to play golf with my brother. We try to play golf as often as we can.
You know I was quite a talented golfer before I devoted my life to Christ."

"I seem to recall that," the Mother Superior agreed. "So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?"

"Far from it," snorted the Sister. "In fact, I even took the Lord's name in vain today!"

"Goodness, Sister!" gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. "You must tell me all about it!"

"Well, we were on the fifth tee...and this hole is a monster, Mother - 540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dogleg left and a hidden green...and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made. And it's flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted...and it hits a bird in mid-flight !"

"Oh my!" commiserated the Mother. "How unfortunate! But surely that didn't make you blaspheme, Sister!"

"No, that wasn't it," admitted Sister. "While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!"

"Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!" sympathized the Mother.

"But I didn't, Mother!" sobbed the Sister. "And I was so proud of myself! And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!"

"So that's when you cursed," said the Mother with a knowing smile.

"Nope, that wasn't it either," cried the Sister, anguished, "because as the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!"

Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a baleful stare and said...

"You missed the fcuking putt, didn't you?"

The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a
vacuum cleaner. Strewth, talk about Dyson with death.

Paddy says: "Mick, I'm thinking of buying a Labrador ." "Sod that"
says Mick: "have you seen how many of their owners go blind"

I've just had a letter back from Screwfix.  They said they regretted to
inform me that they're not actually a dating agency.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my
girlfriend yet.

I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at
the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid....... then I was petrified.

A wife says to her husband: "You’re always pushing me around and
talking behind my back".
He says: "What do you expect? You’re in a wheelchair".

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get
reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said: "I would like to come back as a cow".
I said: "You're obviously not listening".

Doctors have just identified a food that can cause grief and suffering
years after it's been eaten. It's called wedding cake.

I was in the pub with my wife last night and I said: "I love you".
She said; "Is that you or the beer talking?"
I replied: "It's me talking to the beer".

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So I've been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

They've opened a new shop across the road selling camouflage clothing
but I have my suspicions something weird is going on. Yesterday I saw
20 people go in but I never saw anyone coming out.

I've been on the phone for ages trying to book tickets for an Elvis
tribute act, but it keeps asking me to press 1 for the money, 2 for
the show......

I just brought a friend of mine a new fridge, should have seen his
face light up when he opened it

A friend of mine moved into a new house at the weekend so I took him
over a couple of radiators. Just a little house warming present.

I've just heard the window cleaner shouting and swearing outside my
house.  I think he's lost his rag.

I went to my allotment last week and found someone had covered it with
2 inches of soil.  I went again yesterday only to find it covered
again with another 2 inches of soil. The plot thickens!!!

A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid.
When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time.....

I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I
was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a
coffin... 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it...  I
thought to myself, these idiots have lost the plot!!

A new middle east crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was
refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'.  A spokesman for
the channel said....'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not
understand the humour, but we know for a fact that people in Abu Dhabi
Do.'

My son's been asking me for a pet spider for his birthday, so I went
to our local pet shop and they were £70!!!  B*ll*cks to this, I
thought, I can get one cheaper off the web.

Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.

I start a new job in Seoul next week.. I thought it was a good Korea move.

I was driving this morning when I saw an RAC van parked up. The driver
was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to
myself 'that guy's heading for a breakdown'.

can rangers still technically be referred to as one of the 'big two' by the way? i mean given that they've got even less money than greece?

This sort of thread does make me laugh. All these people talking about "Thai wife this" and "Thai wife that"

Sure things go wrong for some people and some Thai families see money when they see Farang.

But....for every one person I have heard say "my Thai wife only wanted my money" or "my Thai wife ripped me off" I must have heard more than ten guys say something like "My English wife was a right bitch. Only ever thought about money" or " Divorcing my American wife nearly broke me".

Food for thought.

I wonder if the gloaty Rangers fan will be resigned to history ?

No doubt they have got themselves into a dreadful mess.  I would think that a humbler Rangers will emerge from the wreckage eventually.


Looks like the Gers were not so Super after all.

It is the defrauding of Her Majesty that horrifies me.

England as ever providing plenty of entertainment for all non English.

Remember cliche no 45. Take each game as it comes.  Difficult game next weekend in the Cup.
