Correct.

I've always found/thought that the best people, in any country, come from the North East!

:emoticon-0105-wink:
Only place I have visited up that way is Sakhon Nakon.
I did go to Vientiane once. Ye gods.
What on earth is going on with currency there.
Bundles of high denomination notes and hardly worth a brass razoo

I'd agree BUT I've found a place that sells, I think, the BEST pizza anywhere in Asia - in fact, I believe, probably anywhere outside of Naples.

I've been going there now for the past 12? years, which makes me look forward to my visit, every 15 months or so (when I'm waiting for my new visa to arrive) - don't bother on a visa run, because I'm in and out of Laos in next to no time.

Good for you
 
Good for you


I must confess, though, that the place doesn't have much else to commend it (apart from prices), even Khop chai deu seems to be going down the tubes (the food used to be reliably decent, but the last time I was there it was junk).

I'm assuming you're still in Oz, how are things there?

Oz has been very very good to me.
( how did you know I was here )
I like it. I live inner city and have a nice cruisy job and some good mates.
Summers can be a bit torrid.
I'm quite scared of retirement which beckons. Basically I have no hobbies and retirement means I will end up watching bad tv and eating unhealthy food. Work stops me doing that.
Anyway all good

Only from what you've posted on RTG.

It's somewhere I've never visited and I know that it's a large country BUT, if you happen to reside in the Melbourne area it would seem that there's some great food available.

I would think elsewhere as well, I only mention Melbourne because of the number of TV programs I've watched relating to the food scene there.

Long long time since I was on rtg/of.
You have good recall
 
He ultimately failed but not through a lack of trying,

Lush day :emoticon-0148-yes:

I haven't seen you post in connection with the takeover since the club issued its statement yesterday.

I'd be interested in your comments particularly this part -

We will provide an update as soon as we are able to. In the meantime, please do not attach undue credence to speculation and theories from various sources, as they are unsubstantiated.

I’m not saying everything Smug posts is fact - I have no idea (not saying he’s making it up either) - but it appears you take the statements of two people who are essentially capitalist investors with a lot to lose /gain financially, who happen to be our owners, as fact. Don’t you think alternative news sources are sometimes useful and interesting and offer a different perspective?
 
I'd have thought you'd have better things to do tbh.

Considering you prided yourself in being the main source of 'ITK' information both on here and previously on RTG I think my question is quite reasonable.

You said you were meeting Mr Methven at the last match.

Did you meet and did you ask him for his comments about unsubstantiated message board rumours and the effect it was having on the club as I politely suggested?

It appears that some people would rather read my posts, even if they're 100% fabricated shyte, than negative humourless drivel from pompous windbags ... I've seen plenty of new posters saying they came here to escape the bitter whinging.

If you're not having a laugh, on a forum, you can usually bet it's because some weird agenda.

Hotlips seems to think this is the Nuremberg war trials, not just a chat room for a bunch of daft blokes.

I've never done that.

I have pride in my support of Sunderland and the many friendships with supporters in real life.

Having pride in passing on info, or a few likes, would be idiotic imo.

Despite your demands for accuracy you seem to have an aptitude for exaggerating. I didn't say I had a meeting with Methven ...

... you've made that up.

Is it also worth considering that the start of a lot of these 'unsubstantiated message board rumours' was caused by the clear leak of information to the main source of PR used by the owners since their arrival, one of which delivered a podcast talking as if the deal was complete?

Mate, you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Smugs posts.

Can I ask why?
