  1. This country has gone to the dogs.

    Is that because of the overabundance of foreigners that have fled to Thailand due to their inability to remain in their own countries?

    Don't judge others by your own standards, GK... i am in good standing with all countries in the world and never had any problems with the police or courts anywhere...

    How about you?

  2. Based on my first hand experiences... the black shirts where the militant wing of the red shirt movement, i saw them mostly as guards to the red camp during the occupation of Ratchaprasong, and they were not shy to point their guns at people who disagreed with them or refused to be searched...

    ... so the Deputy PM can cast his accusations all he wants, i saw it with my own eyes, The Black Shirts were aligned/are part of the Red Shirt movement. If they are in fact police then they were not the police under the control of the ex-PM.

  3. Kids get out of school at 2PM and immediately go to the nearest net cafe to play games

    Not really hard to understand why your connections drop at that time

    Except it also happens on non-school days...

    ... whilst the schoolkids can be attributed to slower internet, i dont think its relevant to my particular problem, as the whole modem loses its connection and goes thru its re-connection process... unless you are suggesting the school kids somehow 'kick me off' my connection

  4. It has sex appeal? I think i must have missed that bar the last time i went there...

    Arse end of the world, only marginally worse than Pattaya and Patong in Phuket.

    Nana and Cowboy can be a bit of fun, with the right crowd of friends and if you dont take it too seriously, but Patpong is dire... it should be leveled and have a hotel/shopping mall/condo built on it!!!

  5. On my True Cable internet the thing goes loopy around 2pm for maybe half an hour, forcing the Modem to lose connection and then it struggles to reconnect. Sometimes its all stable again after 5-10mins, sometimes it can take upto an hour.

    This is the only problem i've had with this connection, the rest of the time its rock solid and fast, i get a ping of around 250-270ms to the USA game servers i connect to.

  6. Err the red shirts camapaign among other things for an end to inequality and betterment for ordinary people. That is a social movement. By the way social movements dont have to be peaceful things and inmost countries becpome non-peaceful if resisted. I am not going to say they are right or wrong but they have a political social agenda that cant be ignored as Thailand develops. They are not just about Thaksin although they clearly see him as their best bet in Thai poltics and as a symbol and thanks to the idiocy of his opponents even one of their own

    So they will be in the same position even if he comes back...

    Welcome the new boss, same as the old boss

  7. I did mine about 12mths ago and was able to get by without speaking much Thai, its all a ticket system anyway, just get in the right queue (it was signposted in English) get your ticket, wait your turn and then hand over your old license, get the photo done and get your new one - was really simple!

  8. I've been playing MMO's for nearly 15 years, Started with EQ1. I've got a good job, a girlfriend whom i will marry in 12 months time (she plays MMO's sometimes too), cats, dogs, a car, a house and a healthy social life...

    ... Whats your point?

    Not all MMO players are sad, anti-social spotty over weight kids who spend 23hrs a day stuck in front of the computer in darkened room :)

  9. I pre-ordered the standard edition from Amazon, got a pre-order code and have applied that to my account... this will get me 5 days 'head start' and the ability to download the client.

    I guess after that its a case of 'wait' for the box to arrive, then plug in the full retail code. Amazon are usually quite good with their deliveries, and in the past when i have pre-ordered something, it gets shipped to me a day or two before offical release and ends up arriving either on the day of release or a day or two after release (depending on my shipping option)

    As Amazon already charge you the estimated import tax on taxable goods, stuff tends to fly through customs very quickly as well... not the cheapest of options when all things are considered, but as we cannot get a digital download option right now, i didnt see any other real choice.
