You lucky buggers! Paco is one of my favourite film characters of all time and played a bit of a part in getting me into MT in the first place!

Wonder if he will be coming up North?

Yes I think everyone remembers him for Paco! Paulo is coming over as Sukhothai's guest not travelling around doing seminars - he will be based in Bournemouth for 3 weeks to help Denise prepare for a fight in Bangkok in August -

Hey Lorne. Looks like a great seminar!

That Thai magazine cover sparked a distant memory - not sure Paulo was the first westerner on it? The odd looking bloke in the corner (wearing a tat2 style shirt) is me, back in 99!

Anyway, don't mean to rob your thread so... bye
