Man United coming to town (Atlanta) in a couple of weeks to play a friendly against the US. Ought to be an interesting evening

Are you sure it's United? I'm not big on the whereabouts of places in the US but they are playing in Toronto, Philadelphia, Kansas and Houston.

However, Man City (the current richest club in the world and future best club) are playing in the Georgia Dome, Atlanta against Club America on the 28th july.

Come on you Red's, why did no one pick up on that?

Slip of the mind, it is the 28th at the GA Dome.

Its hot in Thailand, whats wrong with wearing temperature appropriate clothing. Maybe a Burka would appease the skin police.

Besides I like looking at short skirts

Mexican Mafia branching out. what next.

Globalization is a wunnerful thing. Actually, Mexicans are high on my list of things I miss from my home country.

Funny they don't miss you, your just another gringo less to get in the way of retaking of Norte Mexico, Viva La Raza

I enjoyed the dog, but how come he didn't have changes of wardrobe?

My wife received a job teaching pre-school within 1 week of being in my home country and has worked her butt off since then. She mingles with some Thais but we are together 99.9 percent of our free time. She got the job of her own volition, she is a contributer; I have always known what kind of person she is because there is real genuine communication in our relationship, we are around the same age and possess similar levels of education.

Can you say the same about your wife?

My wife has Thai friends, but doesn't see them much. She works 6-7 days a week, saves most of her money for the future, and buys land in Thailand for investment, She doesn't drink or smoke, her only bad habit is a certain clothes shop and I don't fault her for that. Shes 25 years younger than I am and we have no communication issues what so ever. She is still hot and I love and adore her and she loves me. There are no trust issues, I trust her totally as she does me.

It does rankle me that so many people whose taste in women tend to be bar girls as they don't know how, or don't wanna take the time to meet a different class of Thai Lady.

There are many good decent Thai women, don't use a broad brush to paint all with the limited knowledge you have of the total society.

Your better off to watch Fox News. Fair and Balanced.

ROFLMAO! I'm sure you're being sarcastic. I'd like to have Fox News for the entertainment value, but don't currently have it on True. But fair and balanced?

He is a GB fan so what would you expect.

I rather watch Fox than the other news outlets (and I use the term loosely in their case) as they present only one sides viewpoint. You gotta know the difference between a news broadcast and an opinion show. Fox has both, CNN MSNBC CBS NBC ABC all stooges presenting no dissenting viewpoints, doesn't qualify as a free press. And without a free press freedom will disappear

The USA fans can relate and understand the utter incompetence of FIFA to put such unseasoned referees into such important games. England was totally jobbed by political correctness, I don't care where the refs are from, but they should be the best and most experienced people for the job, people who know where to be standing and where to look. Just a shame it wasn't a goal for England.

In football you are not allowed to 'toss it' unless you are the goalkeeper. Are you talking about some other world minority sport?

I think US has the biggest following in SA. Granted it's got a big population but even so there are tens of thousands of Americans there. Next best supported is England incidentally.

I can't think it will replace batball (is it?) or chuckball (is it?) but football is really taking off now, and US are a good team too.

Must be fun to be so obtuse, I did refer to futbol as soccer and football as played in the NFL style as football. The reply was to a previous poster speaking of the cost of US football vs the cost of (soccer ball). Just like two kids kicking a soccer ball around it takes only two kids to toss a football around. While I played soccer at a forward position and could kick it pretty well, could you throw a tight spiral to a wide receiver on a go pattern getting it into his hands and not the cornerbacks? much less hit a fastball or a curve in baseball.

What does it matter what we call the games we play to you, does it make you feel inferior or superior it shouldn't do either. The names were attached before the world was such a small place, before tv or radio, when people received their news by newspaper or word of mouth. We call them what we've always called them. We all are aware of the differences today, but 125-150 years ago we knew little of other countries games. We as a country were playing football in the time period we were chasing after Geronimo and I see no reason to change it to suit the rest of the worlds definition.

Don't more people in the world refer to soccer as futbol rather than football. A pretty lame sentence and as useless as the arguement that our game is misnamed. It is what it is.

i read that there are 60,000,000 americans participating in football (soccer) today. It is a natural, cost effective replacement for grid iron as the quipment cost is a foot ball, size is not an issue, and health and saftey is great for the kids, will it ever be in the top 3 sports for the yanks, doubt it but it will be in the same rank as track and field, swimming, and ahead of rugby.

I doubt that one fifth of the US population is participating in soccer, it's iffy that even one fifth watches it.

I grew up playing sports of all type. To play football at a minimum took a football and some one to toss it to. Basketball took a basketball and the nearest schoolyard that had a basketball court, others to play made it more enjoyable. That same schoolyard had a baseball diamond and a wall. Enough people and you played baseball, with two people there was a wall to play stickball or even handball, just took two people to play those. Soccer wasn't even a school sponsored sport, I played for my school through the city rec leagues. As far as safety I had my worst injuries playing soccer. BTW rugby is gaining in popularity

Nr. 6 is soooooooo true !!!!!

and

Not only does it not bother you a lady is cleaning the urinal next to the one you are using, but that you also start to have a casual chat with her.

So F*****g True!!!!

That isn't as bad as when the male attendant starts to massage your shoulders when your standing at the urinal.

About three inches above, and a little to the left of your post, it says Currency Thai Baht. I bet if you click your cursor there, you'll get the rates you seek.

My godchild's mother spent $140,000 to send him to Vanderbilt to get a degree in Philosophy. Not a whole lot of jobs out there with that degree. He's a rapper, preforming in small local clubs, but he's happy and I guess that's really what life is about, doing what you enjoy.

His mom got a degree in English and got tired quickly of waiting tables, went back to school to get her Law degree, has made money but hates practicing law. His life is certainly more appealing.

Would be nice if they would pay a good wage to Thai workers and keep it a NON union shop.

A few weeks back I was up north and it hadnt rained for over 3 months. Not one drop where I was. Then one afternoon the kamnan made an announcemnt that they would be toruing the local places with a cat and people should pour water onto it to induce a deluge from the heavens. I had to go back the next day and so am not sure what effect this actually had on the weather.

The heck with the effect on the weather, what did the cat do after water being poured on it.

I don't defend either the Thai guy bothering the OP or the French guy bothering another posters wife, but in both cases, in a crowded city, it seems they were parking in someone else's space for their own use. Wouldn't it be proper not to use what doesn't belong to you. It would be the neighborly, respectful and legal thing to do.

I'm sorry, but the OP's entire premise is nonsense. Speaking from an American perspective, I know very little about European history (other than the obviously major stuff), South American history, African history, and of course, Asian history. If it doesn't really effect me on a day-to-day basis, why would I be interested? Thai's would be better off learning some history related to the region (i.e., Asia), but honestly, just because you're personally interested, it doesn't mean that it's applicable at all to anyone residing in Thailand. It's a rather arrogant presumption, actually. How much do you know about Thai history? China? Japan? I'm sure your ignorance is profound.

A sign of the failure of the American school-system. Of which many books are written.

Not so much a sign of failure but the achievement of progressives to install a system of education that will allow people to know only enough to be usable workers, useful idiots and nothing more. A lot of money will be spent on education, but it'll go to incompetent or uncaring or unknowing myrmidons that teach our children songs about the greatness of the present president (which has never happened before in our history) that has been in office for less than one and a half years and has squandered their financial future.

or you could use a couple of phones

Suddenly keeping the mobile phone in one's front trouser pocket doesn't seem like such a good idea!

JxP

Haven't they studied a link of brain cancers and cell phone usage? Pop corn popping between 4 phones is pretty funny but thought provoking

Savage was active with the red shirts for over a year

he was seen on video in Pattaya throwing stones at police during black Songkran 2009

that's a lot more than making outrageous statements, that's actually breaking the law

assault on a policemen is a serious charge anywhere in the world

regardless of what he did and said in Bangkok 2010, he should do some time for Songkran 2009

Who is paying him to be here. You don't stay for year and live on rice as a farang. Has plenty of money to spend on alcohol. Is he just another international seiu goon.

5 minutes, 6 years ago.

I couldn't tell shit from salt then and still can't.

Commonly, as far as the general populace is concerned, salt is white and usually in granular form. The latter is a darker color and free formed by individual.

Hope this helps you in indentification of substances.

Are there any underground installations of utilities in Thailand.? Would stop a lot of this and look a darn sight better than poles carrying wire.

Signed up using my true internet name "Fat Chance"

its 52 years since I joined the "Mob"!If it wasnt for the photos I wouldnt remember(except my number !)

I didn't join the mob, in front of my number is US not RA. As far as remembering that period, its hard not too as I receive medical through the VA. I think not what I did, but of my friends.

Lobotomies work for me. No killings, no more drug sales

Did you have it done recently?

No I was waiting to see how it affected you.

Interesting that extra-judicial killings on a wide scale apparently have worked.

Not something I could ever get behind though. Another solution that works needs to be found.

Well trained non corrupt police would go a long way.

An education system that actually thought some thing of value in the 21st century would help as well.

I'd hope it'd be something other than those used in the US and Europe, as drug use is rampart and attitudes toward its usage are permissive. No reason to burden Thailand with western thought that doesn't work.
