Throw in some Dire Straits, Boomtown Rats, Stones, The Jam, The Kinks, The Who, Bruce Spingsteen, CCR, Bob Segar and some Bay City Rollers, and I might come for a listen.

BCR, yeah right!

the "your age is showing" brigade

on a side note, springsteen and segar (sic), really?

The " sic erat scriptum" brigade. . Chai.......jing jing. Mee ban haa mai?

To read the story, it places the blame for the accident firmly at the motorbike's door. I'm not condoning the Russian's actions, but I'm guessing he felt the pick-up driver was at fault, which seems to make more sense.

"...which seems to make more sense."

Certainly it does. The pick-up driver must have been at fault. I wasn't there and know nothing about the incident, but from my lofty perch of omniscience I can easily see the pick-up driver was Thai and therefore at fault.

And the story seems to blame the Russians for insulting the police. Clearly the police were at fault for butting in.

Case closed. Next!

The "I'm guessing" judge presiding.

Every single thread and every single post you ALWAYS without a fail defend a Thai.

Any reason why Thai is always right in your books?

The uaual reason for defending thais is the apologists have a thai wife, or in love with a thai

Do you regret misspelling "Monger" as your handle?

I will write what many should have written here:

Darn, I wonder what happened there....

That's true, but then it wouldn't be TV would it. They never let the facts (or lack thereof) get in the way of a good speculative rant or push their own little obscure barrows.

Nobody's bothered to blame the imaginary dog that ran across the road and caused this particular incident yet.....but hey, wait long enough and somebody will do it, and then they'll probably bemoan the traits of Thai dogs versus Russian dogs and whether the Russian dogs have licences or not.

What kind of motorbike was he driving since he could be thrown 50 meters from impact..

Any kind of bike. It's a complex calculation with lots of variables, but a throw of 50m after colliding with a stationary object implies a speed in the region of 65 klm/h at impact. Not really that fast.

I do recall reading about a similar scam somewhere but forget the details. I do know it involved sending something by post or it may have been import tax or something.

I remember it was the staff at the department (PO or Tax) that were doing a bit of freelance scamming on farang. They were eventually caught when somebody questioned one of their superiors. Sorry - vague on detail.

Anyway, you've got your gear so no worries. If it is a genuine undercharge then they'll persist. I'd make sure you deal with somebody higher than the person who called you if they do persist and try and get cash off you.

You're on the right track. Read the books and do your own web based research to gain some education about your choices and associated risks.

When you've gained the basic knowledge, you're in a better position to ask questions, listen to advice that will be a mixed bag, and make your own decisions.

In the meantime, I'm considering a startup company that needs a few million - tinned som-tam for all the Thai girls living in farangland. PM me for details and my bank account number so you can transfer the cash.

Seriously - gain some basic understanding of investment strategies is the best policy before you ask all us hacks on TV.

Wow, tinned som-tam! Now there's an investment possibility if I ever saw one!

I realize I have to do my own research, just wanted to hear from some here in general...thanks!

Unfortunately tinned som-tam doesn't pass the bio hazard standards in most western countries. Export potential is slim at best.

reminds me of Miss Prunesti, who taught Latin in 7th grade. She was probably 27 or 28 and for some reason... she never knew that the front of her desk did not extend down far enough to secure her modesty. we had full view of her legs and the occasional crotch shot. my buddies and I were always in the front row in that class.

We had one too - Miss Gunther teaching English. We went one step further and sabotaged her chair so it couldn't be raised that extra 2 inches. She always criticised us for slouching in our seats before we knackered the chair.

The chances are extremely high that this guy is an off duty BIB.

You'd have to have an extremely weak signal to require a booster if you're only splitting once. I've done a 4 way split on satellite and never needed a booster - in fact loss of quality is not even noticeable.

If you have satellite and cable (i.e Sophon), both TV's can change the cable channels independently if you have a pair of splitters set up properly. Unfortunately if you only have one box for Truevisions or whatever, all Tv's are stuck with the same channel. But one TV can be watching Sophon, and another can watch True with no probs.

Thailand's future's so bright you've got to put shades on the pervs in the pictures ...

What would his Mum say?

Maybe that is his Mum?

I posted a thread about this guy a few months ago but nobody really has any information on him.

He's always walking in the middle of the road on Thepprasit and Jomtien sai Song. I've seen many vehicles dodge him and he's come close to wearing my wing mirrors a few times. The guy has a death wish for sure. He'll come unstuck one day as he has a habit of not even looking at the on-coming traffic.

Noooooo, got to sing at a party tonight , not good for you farags but OK for the local ladies. ..........

The "jeez I hate listening to karaoke and have to go to the dentist instead" brigade.

Seriously - break a leg.

BUT, I sing Clapton, Orbison (few), Elvis and Lionel Richie. VERY different stuff. AND, I am hansum too.

Throw in some Dire Straits, Boomtown Rats, Stones, The Jam, The Kinks, The Who, Bruce Spingsteen, CCR, Bob Segar and some Bay City Rollers, and I might come for a listen.

BCR, yeah right!

The..''I'm pissed off today''............Brigade..................me..............

Still pissed off?

In my ever so humble opinion, it's about time we gave the OP the "Troll of the year" award and put this baby to bed. Even in the remote possibility that his original post had a semblance of truth, the additional diatribe in the additional posts is just milking it for far too much.

OP - please provide the address of your bridge so the Mods can send you the award. Somewhere near Brixton was it?

If you're on a laptop, it could be your touchpad. Maybe over sensitive so your hand/wrist touches it as you're typing. There are sensitivity adjustments you can make, and also download any updated drivers for it. Otherwise, make sure your mouse (if you have one) isn't moving/bouncing on the desk as you type.

The Post Office?? Really? I would have never guessed that route. Thank you very much. I will check it out.

You'll probably have to find their depot, as opposed to the local PO for letters etc. Where are you? The Pattaya one is on Suk heading south, about 3 klm's south of Jomtien from memory.

Yep, the PO have done one for my missus, no problems. Take off the mirrors and get plenty of cardboard, bubble wrap and gaffer tape to cover as much as you can to prevent damage. The PO will have a go at covering the lights etc for you, but if you want a job done well, do it yourself.
