  1. This happened to me when I was in Africa and someone used my credit card number in Las Vegas. They told me to go into a local bank branch and when I explained that there wasn't one they told me to suck it up until I was back in Australia. Luckily I also had a Thai bank account and was able to utilise that. I understand they are trying to protect us but they do leave the customer in a crap circumstance sometimes, but it's up to the customer to make sure that they have a back up plan. So my advise to you is open an emergency account with another banking group, preferably an international one.

    This is why I now bank with HSBC.

    HSBC…now that's a crap bank. Worst bank i've banked with.

  2. I live in HK.

    Started buying some non-perishable food last week. Going to get a bit every time I go down to the supermarket. Water and other supplies too.

    As I said to the wife, if nothing comes of it then we have a lot of food to eat. If something comes of it, at least we are stocked up. The rush on supermarkets would be immense and shelves would be cleared in hours.

  3. The Morning Glory they're talking about here is not the mis-translated morning glory ("booa bok") that appears on a lot of Thai menus that are in English. The true Morning Glory's seeds actually contain a chemical compound that is very similar to LSD and they give the same psychedelic effect to those who eat them.

    I stole a packet of morning glory sees from a gardeners shop when i was 15. First shoplifting experience…..did it….got home ready to ingest …the packet was a display packet…nothing inside

  4. meth...... scares the hell outta me, in the states you learn fast to stay away from skinny pimple face head twitching freaks.here is another story. the drug is destroying family people. meth is pure evil, the police need to understand this. build more jails or off all the suppliers. there is no cure for this drug none!!! junkies cannot stop.

    Can you tell me what the BIB do understand? Build more jails or off all the suppliers....... ???

    Prostitution and drugs have been around since ancient times. As long as you stay away from such, and those that do engage, then your life will be safe.

    The latter includes beaches, late at night!

    The cops could also stop supplying meth. Just a thought.
