Have not had a chance to get up to Udon yet but this will save me a wasted visit.

Oh well back to the drawing board and a very high water bill in the meantime.

Just a thank you to all that imputed,

Cheers Terry

Tiny Can you tell where it's leaking from? A typical spot to look at is around the drain if you have one installed. Look for cracked, missing grout between the tiles, and broken/cracked tiles. If so you may be ahead of the game by sealing the leak rather than going through the expense of a liner. A...

Hi Folks My tiled pond is leaking very badly and the only thing I can think of is to get a black butyl liner. My pond is quite large and deep and not a regular shape. Can anyone suggest where I can go to get a Butyl liner made up??? Anyone have any idea of costs for this. Not want to use PVC as this...

Thanks for the reminder Stan. I am looking foward to being there weather conditions permitting at heathrow and no delays to flight. This will be my first visit to Udon and looking forward to meeting some of the members. So if you see a tall english guy looking lost with tgf in tow please reel me in....

Yes may I also wish everyone a very Merry Xmas and thanks to all the management for a great site. Also a brilliant New Year to all. Hope to see some of you on the 9th January 2010 on my first but not last visit to Udon.

God Bless and cheers Terry

PhilR wrote about his knee's needing surgery. I too had a problem with my right knee and was told that I needed to have a partial knee replaceement because I had played rugby until past 48 years and damage had been done. I was lucky (so I thought) to have BUPA cover and had the op in their hospital....

Nice reply Stan. Even I, as a relatively new member would never have asked a question as MrNicey. I presume he does not have much imagination especially as all the other posts on living in Udon and its costs. Maybe he does not bother to read these. One has only to look at the visa requirements to es...

Yes 9th is a Saturday and thanks Stan I will be there around 7pm and look forward to meeting with whatever members are there. Really looking forward to it. It is funny how in your mind you get a mental picture of people from their posts so this will be a good oportunity to see if I was right. My tha...

Thanks Bob for the directions. I dont think I will be bothered by the ladies as will have TGF with me.
I will look forward to meeting some of the members and hope that TGF will be able to chat with other ladies present.
I hope I was right with date and time???

This is a terrible story to read and I hope that they have castration as a part of the punishment this man has to go through. It just beggars belief that a father could do this to his daughters. I hope we can find out in due course what sentence this man received.

Hi all, My first visit to Udon will see me arrive 8th January and will be staying at irish Clock with TGF. I would like to go to the meeting in January to put some faces to names on the site. Would I be right to assume that the meet date is 9th Jan and the time about 7pm??? Also could someone please...

Hi guys and my thanks for your suggestions they will be of great help. In addition I would also ask if anyone can give me approximate driving time to Surin as well as alternative means of getting there i.e bus train etc and cost if known.

Cheers Terry

Hi all,

Following my visit to Udon in early January and wonder if any of you can suggest a good place to stay when I go on to Surin. Any suggestions and idea of cost would be appreciated.
Thanks Terry

Mathematics A 10 year old boy was failing maths very badly. His parents tried everything from private tutors to hypnosis, but to no avail. Finally they decided to enrol their son in a private Catholic school which had a very good reputation. After the first day the boy’s parents were surprised when...

Well done Lee and agree with the other two posters a great video. Was especially nice to see the young people enjoying themselves so much. Who was that said in another forum that there were no good looking ladies in Udon. This shows plenty.
Again thanks for a very interesting vid. Cheers Terry

Re alcohol reading 0.05. What does this equate to please. For instance how many pints of beer would be needed to reach this as a general rule. Thanks would be nice to have some idea,
Cheers Terry

Jingjai, Ploughmans lunch usually consists of a piece of long french type bread with 2 or 3 pieces of different cheese and served with pickle say Branston or the like. Good to be washed down with a nice English ale.
Cheers Terry

Yes Lee I agree with other posts the new layout is easy to follow and clean, well done.

Change is always something that some will disagree with but I find nothing to sat this is not for the better.
cheers Terry

Re Kevro's comment. I too watched a similar program recently but this they said was in Thailand. It showed a very big individual Cobra making its way down the middle of the road in a village. It was interesting to see that the villagers totally ignored the snake. The snake then went into a wooden sh...

This would certainly be the case in a UK court but would be 4o times!

I would think being the wife of policeman brought the full force to bear on catching these people.
