You better with pictures than words?

I use Edge on a Nokia 72.

It beats the pants off my old GPRS modem thingy (which was ceremoniously smashed against the wall into a squillion pieces)

GRPS was slow as '94.

If I know I'm going shopping, I'll usually wolf down a couple beef and bean burritoes and a fizzy drink before heading out. Keeps the sharks from circling.

No meter, no ride -- good advice.

It only appears to be boring to the majority of Americans, it doesn't appear to be boring to the rest of the World though does it, hence it being THE most popular Sport in the World.

We invited you guys but nobody could throw overhand.

You're still invited. Put together a team!

racial stereotype? Howzat?

This is a weird thread.

credible? yes.

valid? no.

The objectionable attitude is optimism and happiness.

Many here just want to be miserable.

hONESTLY???

The worse it gets here, the more money I make...

I do High End Security, Protection, and Guarding along with some few ex-Thai Naval Spec Ops Guys.

I am going to make a fortune...

I love where we are, and I love Thailand...

Horray for Todd and screw the rest of the world. Jerks like this are what gives expats and Americans a bad name.

I missed the reference to Todd being American. Can you kindly point it out? Thanks a bunch.

The real sweat will be when your friendly captain breaks the silence with "Ha So!!

PS Thats when ya yearn for that bad ass ol' Yankee drawl.

Dream on!!!

Every time I step onto an Airbus plane I worry. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse -- now there's the prospect that it's made in China.

Oh dear. Airbus made in China. Poor design was bad. Couple that with inferior worsmanship ... oh dear.

How many years until the Aleutian archipleigo becomes a land bridge to North America?

Find out if there is anything being left from the deceased to the survivors.

I paid for my fil's funeral several years ago. Four brothers claimed they had nothing and couldn't help.

I found out a year later that the dead father left about 30K to each of them -- nothing to my wife though.

Nice, eh?

Cricket -- baseball, but the pitcher requires 100 yard running start and the batter is dressed like he's going in to battle a Minotaur.

Rugby -- don't tackle him like that ... nope that's no good either ... sorry, not like that ... tsk, tsk that won't do. Now give him a kiss. Crouch, Touch, Pet, Grope

Kickball -- zero-zero following an entire lifetime of a game. All 22 players simultaneously flop on the ground writhing in pain as if someone splashed their faces with a beaker of battery acid.

Do all Brits throw like girls?

I'd keep them and tell the daughter he had loaned all the tools out to his friends before he died.

Paint the mower and carve your initials into all the other tools. Don't forget to mention to the daughter how your gardener had borrowed a new circular saw and a few blades just a few weeks ago that hadn't been returned.

Good luck.

On the bright side, Brazil will hammer them and the closet flag wavers can return to the general or Nascar forums.

Your presumption that interest had ever shifted to kickball is ... well -- ambitious.

Some very rural tessabans refuse to issue yellow books.

Catch 22 -- again.

My wife is a Buddhist. I'm not.

She has only one buddha statue and put it in her carry on.

She wans't amused when I stuffed the bag under her airline seat.

It belonged in the overhead bin. OK, whatever. I'm tolerant like that.

He's a thief. Do you applaud others who embezzle, commit fraud and steal?

He's a criminal. I hope they hunt him like an animal and put him in a nice cage for a very long time.

I'm listening to the radio presently: 95.5 WPLJ New York.

Sports lineup (in order)

Yankees beat Braves

Shaq moving to Cleveland

LSU wins College Baseball title

Federer, Serena win at Wimbledon

US kickball team beats another team somewhere

American's everywhere are cringing today.

Kickball?

Ewwwwughhh

Landed in Udon Thani after a six hour flight from Japan. Cold beer in hand within five minutes of touchdown, in hotel within ~30 minutes in a soapy withing a few hours. I was quite dirty.

Welcome to Thailand.

lists are nice. They make you feel comfy.

They mean nothing if the immi officer gets a hair on for you.

I'm not angry or bitter, but I've been dealing with the Nong Khai office for quite a while.

Listen to a mere poster when I say be prepared for anything.

I know this site is called THAI VISA, and their forte is visa issues -- but the law means nothing to you when some rouge assifer demands some garbage that ain't on their list.

Be prepared for it. The advice you'll get here is 50-50. Better than nothing, but not always how it pans out.

Cognos - Everytime i log onto this forum youve some new made up story, ive just looked through the threads youve started and i think your super educated Thai Chinese wise is a figment of your imagination.

Your stories dont add up!

Slugs shak-up with and marry slugs. Nothing wrong with that. Not every Prince in Shining Armor is gonna meet some damsel in distress with nice t!ts and a firm donkey.

Problem is that most dorks in stained armor think they deserve better than a saggy-chested hag with crooked teeth and a big heart.

That's where the friction arises.

2004 Father in law died.

Thai family all declares bankruptcy -- nobody's got squat Woe is us!

Farang arrives from WAY far away. Pays for entire funeral based on info given.

Years later.

Young brother recently graduated university> Me to my wife -- How much does he owe?

Nothing. dead father's inheretance......Nice. Can someone explain to me why I paid entirely for this guy's funeral when his son's snatch and run?

NEVER trust a Thai.

Most couldn't point to paddys on a map.

Best left at home in their council estates to suss out grannies hangnail.
