Visa got!

We heard yesterday that Nuch as got her residency visa, this is outstanding news and it only took five working days to get. It seems the 100% increase in the visa price as sped the process up.

Now all we have to do is sort out a few bits in Thailand and get her a ticket to the UK, so I reckon late may, early june. Roll on!

In trawling through Thai web sites I have seen loads of companies advertising visa services, basically they hold your hand and get you through the process quicker. Some even go as far to say you wont get a visa without their help. Bullshit, we did all this ourself and found the whole process tough, but do-able.

So if any one who reads this blog and would like to hear our ecperience in depth, just drop me your email on the comment strand.

Thailand Voice: The Best Blogs from Thailand

Spring is sprung

I'm amazed by how much i'm enjoying being back in the UK, my new life is great even though I don't know many people round where I live. The job is going well, i've just gotten a new car which I love.

In Thailand there are very little differences in seasons, the UK is so different. Spring this year as definately sprung. All the cherry trees are in full bloom, bluebells in the woods and fields of Rape Seed are everywhere. You can't beat it. I've added a couple of photos just to let you know what I mean.

Thaksin wants Man City

Former Thai PM Thaksin Schinawat as annouced his interest in buying Manchester City.

In his lastest remember me rant from somewhere not in Thailand, he as stated that he is looking at a £96million takeover of the not so in form Man City. He failed the other year in his bid to buy Liverpool when he was reminded that he couldn't use public funds.

When your personal fortune is estimated at $1.2billion, this seems like small change, I bet his family have already bought shares in advance.

Tennis star to wed Miss Universe

Thailands best known sportsman Paradorn Srichaphan and former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova. Paradorn is worshipped in Thailand, he is always on the news and his every move scrutinised, a few years back he was dating Thai singer tata Young who is the Thai version of Britney. The split up was apparently forced on Paradorn by his mother when Tata entered her slutty period.

Natalie whilst being as fit as a butchers dog is simply the most annoying person in Thailand! She won Miss Universe in Thailand in 2005, She gained alot of promo deals including the face of Singha beer. After forfilling her "Charity" obligations she came back to thailand and became the face of King Power Duty free. She as a line of lifestyle products and seems to be on TV all the time, she strikes me as being not totally sincere.The Thai's have taken her to their hearts and the match up with Paradorn seems like the next logical step.

I hope they will be both very happy!

Singha UK

On a visit to Tesco's this weekend I found that they were selling the Thai Beer "Singha" or as it is ordered in Thailand "Beer Sing"

The cost was £2.10 which is about 150 Thai Baht, you will expect to pay this at a top end restaurant in Bangkok. However in the Tesco's near me in Thailand a bottle come's in at 38Baht (48p).

I'm not actually a great fan of Singha, a little to sweet and bloaty for me, buts it was a good drop of beer and bought many memories back.

Son of Stella

The lovely Stella Artois have bought two new lagers in the UK, as you would expect from interbrew, they are fine beers.

Tonight I have been mostly trying Peeterman Artois, the taste is similar to normal stella, a little crisper and drier, but at only 4%abv, you wont be beating the wife about the head after a four pack.

Stella, I love you.

Nuch's Family on YouTube

Bored tonight, so i've downloaded a load of video's to "You Tube", This one is of Nuch's family, in it are her two young nephew's, older brother, Mum, Dad, grandma and Grandad.

It was filmed just before new year at Nuch's Grandma's.

Animals 1 - 0 Children

Today, all ovcer the news were two court cases, the first was a case of dog fighting, a sick idiot let his house be used as a fighting den for pit bull's. When the police raided there were eight dogs in a shocking condition, for his trouble he was found guilty and sent down for two years.

The second case featured four women from the same family who forced a two year old and a three year old to fight on video. I haven't seen the video, I don't want to! Scenes include the two year old boy in nappies begging not to continue, the children are handed hairbrushes, the three year old girl smacks the boy in the face with it.

In the background the mother of the toddlers, her mother (The one who looks like a man in the above picture) and her two sisters swear and call the children to hit harder. When asked what made them do it, the Grandmother said "They need t' be toughened up livin round ere". The video was discovered by the farther when he came home on leave from Iraq, he went straight to the police.

The biggest talking point was the sentence they recieved, they were all given one year suspended sentences!!!!WTF!!!!

The womens names are Zara Olver (21), Carole Olver (49), Serenza Olver (29) (Nice belly and tatoo) and Danielle Olver (19)

So as is usual for the UK, the country that gives more to animal charities than children charities, you'll be sent down for dog baiting, but walk free for baiting two very young children.
