Does anyone know the original name of the documentary and the date when it will be aired? Haven't really heard about anything that would be translated as "We save our Vacation" although I guess it must be something like "Wir sparen uns den Urlaub".

Das ist ein grosse turd , bitte

I see now that I was not the only one watching that

Stop off at your local market and purchase a liter of pigs blood. Next time she calls for Jow splatter blood on your shirt and a borrowed shovel. Then run outside and and in your sweetest sincere voice simply state..

Jow is not here any more, we had a fight when she woke me up form my afternoon nap, please do come in for a cup of coffee or tea.

Pigs Blood 10 baht

Shovel borrowed

Bloody shirt 30 baht

Burning the rubber off a scooter tire 70 baht

Look on sisters face (Priceless)

As a slight aside my friend in England (who isn't the sharpest) called me in the middle of the night for a chat. He asked me the time to which I groggily replied 3 am.

He then proceeded to ask me what I was doing.

Playing bloody water polo in the local klong obviously.

As I spent many years in the Middle East often I would call a friend (ex) in the States at all hours of the morning (his) . He would answer and say "Do you know it is 2:00AM in the morning ?" I would say "now I do, thanks" .Several times he would ask "Why don't you by a dam_n watch ?". I would reply " An international watch with 2 times zones would cost me much more than the international calling plan"

I have had occasion to step into 3 different 7-11's in three different areas of Bangkok today only to wait 10+ minutes to pay for a bottle of water while this occurs.

Now this part I like.. You traveled to 3 different 7-11's in one day and in the final location you found a Thai Girl/Guy that required 10 minutes plus to enter a pin number?

sorry you are having trouble with the language, but where did i say anything about a pin number?

Your right it was a 16 digit code for Topping off a phone. This changes everything now that I look at this way.

just wondering.

or just wandering ?

it's not 1st April is it? Thailovelinks? yes many of us are on there - be interesting to hear your perspective after 5 years - never met her? now I've heard it all

The OP said

After a four month phone courtship

This is probably more communication then most people have with the wives in 3 - 4 years of marriage. Love is not a mysterious entity, it is pure and simple. Given enough crap piled on something will make most anything obscure. The OP has jumped ahead of many people by using only his ears and what few photos that may have been exchanged.

Many people in the bleachers will always see things that the players on the field are blind to, does this make it any less of a game for the players?

Can we start OVER !!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous .. I will start if I may be allowed... My Father can beat up your Father, neener, neener, neener...

Why, do they have something to celebrate ??

Its a real bitch when 3BB drops off a few days...

who did the autopsi and was it veryfied by other independent sources?

Cause of death was determined to be a Bullet to his head. What autopsy ?

does anyone still believe that it was terrorists in 2001?

Bin Laden faked the moon landing too.

And Bin Laden invented MC Donald's too......:jap:

I thought it was Burka King

Obama said in his speech "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America."

Robert Burns once wrote:

Ye hypocrites! are these your pranks?

To murder men, and give God thanks?

Desist for shame! Proceed no further:

God won't accept your thanks for Murther.

Who is this guy Murther that messed it all up for us... Bobby Burns had a great poem there, I mean it rhymed and that is all that matters... Here is another one I like

Chin in the air with a head held high,

I’ll stand in the path of the enemy line

Feel no fear, know my pride:

For God and Country I’ll end your life

Building a climate of good governance will take years and will also require the government to be less corrupt than it is, said the panellists at the seminar organised by Krungthep Turakij, a sister daily of The Nation.

They have to just find that happy medium with the rest of the world...Bribery and Lobbyist are these diametrically opposing functions.

Really, how can the judge determine that he should get the maximum for this.

If a person commits passport fraud to commit acts of terrorism then surely that would be worse and indeed should be given a maximum sentence.

Maximum sentences are for the worst of that sort of crime. Just a really bad decision to consider this the worst offence that there could possibly be.

Fraud and Terrorism are not quite the same thing, not sure how you came to this conclusion...Passport fraud for terrorism is 25 years.

Passport and visa fraud are federal felonies. Penalties are:

� 10 years (for a first offense if not tied to terrorism or drug trafficking)

� 15 years for fraud with other criminal links

� 20 years for fraud related to drug trafficking

� 25 years for fraud related to international terrorism

What is passport fraud ?

� Substituting photos, most commonly occurring overseas and with older passports

� Altering support documents, such as birth certificates

� Assuming the identity of a deceased person

� Circumventing the two-parent signature rule for minors

It is not a minimum/maximum type of offense. It is a Price Tag.. By no means do I mean imply that the facts should interfere with this thread.

Justice, American Style.

The crime he was prosecuted for he plead guilty to. "Forgery to obtain a passport". Does your country have ant such laws? It is not as though he was beaten into a confession, again I assume France has a similar law.

Who said anything in this thread about the thais having it wrong ???? Why so sensitive about a westerner wanting some food they like instead of the ole same same same that thais eat ??? just my 1 baht worth.

I don't know if you will have much luck retraining Thais not to shop daily

retraining normally means to change the way someone is doing something. Many times these threads have more than one poster.

Interesting how we think they (Thais) have it all wrong, and we must put clothes on these savages.

If their power bill stays below 300 Baht , the King pays the bill.

Power outages mean very little to them. Gas only needs a lighter.

They spend an average of 10-15 minutes in the market and then home with the family meal. They spend less the 150 baht to feed the average size family.

Meal planning often depends on which aisle they wander down, and what smells good to them.

If the markets were to be shutdown buy a Super Store, jobless rate climbs. Many of these people have little or no formal training, however they are making a honest living every day..

Ask them who AIG, ING, or what does price hedging on fuel mean, and they will probably just keep repeating "10 Baht for steam rice, buy it or move along, beefeater".

Just my 2 bahts worth

The tour guide has tats too. He is a gangster too, for sure.

WOW , what can one say about this.

The pub, Fullmoon Pub, has earlier been raided by police for servicing underage people

Forgive me for asking, but why do the underage people go to a pub to be "serviced" - what is wrong with an hourly hotel, the back of the car or even a rice field? (If that's a problem then come to me LMAO!)

For non-native English speakers, in UK a farmer will take his cows to be "serviced" by the bull!

I can forgive anyone for asking any question, it is when you tried to explain it, that made you appear to be a pedophile. And this is only your 6th post , aren't we the lucky ones.

RIP soldiers...

Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior.

Does anyone no where I can purchase a few bags of the ready mixed asphalt? Just hoping to level out a few bumps on the driveway. Preferred to buy on Khao Noi or Khao Talo. Dark side

How about a simple "Here honey I made you a drink" in comes cousins or her Thai BF. When you wake up, she probably bit her lip trying to tell tell the story about the Mission Impossible Team entering the house and not laugh.

Was there something you wanted to say about the tragedy?

I the OP has summed up the whole sorry episode very well. And the point of your response is?

The origin of the post was Wikipedia.. My question was "Is there something the OP wanted to add or take away?" Was this a thread that had been moved?

Was there something you wanted to say about the tragedy?

Try posting on the Ambassadors facebook, they seem to respond real fast to that...
