How did the court established she was lying? Maybe she said the truth.
The distinguished professor obviously must have some vague recollection
otherwise he wouldn't have departed with so much cash.
Did they go "Back In Time" to check out if she said the truth?
Do they have a time machine? (Must be from the same manufacturer as their metal detectors)
Did they ask the spirits?

I'm surprised how some people are surprised

Several months ago we were told that due to maintenance, one of Thailands power plants will be Off-Line sometime in May or something like that. The problem was predictable, not unexpected at all. The government said there might be black-out's as Malaysia and Myanmar can only make up for a fraction of what would be needed. I believe Thai Visa mentioned about it too.

So, no surprise. We had no power for about two hours in Koh Phangan but lucky for generator.
We been warned about a couple of months ago, so we were prepared-ish. Next time, I'll ust need to make sure, I have petrol too

i love ABBA

and the Bee Gee's

After spending some time in Western Australia I promissed myself

NEVER to complain about our mozzies anymore (although I didn't say any less)

Don't worry, mozzies only bite you, could be worse, could be tigers, they eat you.

I'm not so sure about that....

I read this:

"In addition to the lethal diseases they carry, mosquitoes can kill on their own. They are feared throughout the Australian outback (just one more reason not to go there) and the southern Sahara, where shallow deluges provide them excellent breeding in the water. When the larvae hatch, they attack in swarms of over 1 billion insects, descending on cows and camels and draining them of blood within 10 minutes."

Holly s**t. Now I definatly will have bad dreams :-)

You can buy one of those rechargeable electric tennis rackets for mozzies -only 90 baht

it's great fun sweeping it around amongst a bunch of them and hearing the sparks fly off as they are cooked

I LOVE them, not only to fry mozzies but ...

Well, lets say it this way, my son hates them

Fondest Recent Purchase In Los? BEER LAO!!!

The second one was an iPhone which worked perfectly

well .... for a couple of days until the battery was empty

and there is no way to charge the f***er.

16 ounces in a pound

14 pounds in a stone

Those 14 stones. Are they pebbles? Rocks or bolders? Granite or limestone?

Sure very important aspect as I might weigh just a half a bolder or being a real big lad with 192 pebbles

Always got me confuzzled whilst living in the UK

All the luck in the world to this woman. And if she bit this guy and fought him off, then more power to her for being so brave, and this will hopefully serve as an example for many more women; to be strong and brave in the eye of unfortunate violence.

With regards to the Full Moon Party, I was there last year. People go there and get pissed out of their minds, however it is disgusting worms who prey on intoxicated or even sober women to try and rape them. It is never, never, never the fault of the woman. Anyone who says it is is weak, stupid and needs a lobotomy

I don't think that she bit him, if I recall rightly, he bit her, that's why she went to hospital

As I said in an earlier posting (censored for some reason?) Burmese, any burmese?

The first I was told when I show the photo to several Thai Friends "Why the man on

photo from Myanmar?"

My question, if the suspect, as reported to the police and according to surveillance video,

was supposed to be around 30 years old, 170cm tall, "Pumpoi", "Dam" and Khun Thai is

this skinny, small, 23 year old burmese kid on the photo?

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as 'Euro-English'.

In the first year, 's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced with 'f'. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v'.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

......... Imagine a post..

" I got up this morning, had breakfast, got in my car and drove to Chiang Mai. The trip was uneventful and I arrived safely" The end

Not so sure about that, you might just start an avalanche of replys, like,

There must be more to it! ........

Hid you have a licence ....

Who did you pay to be eventless? .......

What is he hidding?

What was the colour of the car?

Wonder, did you have a shave bevore or after breakfast ....

A relative of a frient of my wife did it in 1978 he died .... ten years later.

Whas that with a real licence and a proper visa?

I live here since years, if your trip was eventless, you have been ripped off etc...

Off course, everyone of them would encurage more replys and eventually

end up with:

Why do people always have to complain

If you don't like it , go back to where you come from....

Now before you start that Tocic, reconsider, think of the impact of it.

All those politicly, religious, racial, sexual coments i'll attract. Name calling,

slander, hate mails. You might very well end up with 17000 views, 9000

repyls a couple of thumbs up several people shouting abuse. Then people start

blaming each other, frienships fall appart, some might start tossing

furniture around, some even commit suicide

And all because you had an eventless journey

PS There must be more to this story, innit? I won't tell anyone?

This is one of those times when travel insurance comes pretty handy. Innit?

Contact credit card company, get refund.

Contact travel insurance, get refund, allowances, etc.

Contact AirAsia and you might even get a friendly e-mail: "Tough luck, now P**S off, Khap"

Might even be a better deal then flying with them

Six months past since this topic started,

four months ago it was said it will be finished in 6 to 8 months,

two monts ago, they went for lunch.

Anyone any news? Have they finished lunch yet?

What do those reliable sources and tarrot cards say?

I love the way different accents have the power to make you feel and think different things.

For example, when I hear an Australian accent, I think of beaches and BBQ's

When I hear an Italian accent, I think of great food.

And, when I hear an Indian accent, I think I'm about to be put on hold.

It takes a stupid rabbit to chase a rotten carrot in circles.

(People who respond to Trolls)

Waooo, this is the first post you made which I actually like

Now for traveling, I normaly put my stuff in some of those big rice, sugar, phosphate or pig food bags. Banana Box is ok too. No one is interested in a dirty rice bag or a Banana box if there are loads of nice, new big suitcases and backpacks around.

So convenient to carry down the BTS stairs and down the sidewalk to one's hotel.

Have you tied it? Definately easier than two suitcasses

while we are on the topic...

great write-up in the bbc today on "Britishisms" invading the US.

http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-19670686

I think if you Brits want to blame someone for a lot of the spelling differences...look no further than Noah Webster!

Anyways, I did learn two words I never knew before that had to be translated by my Brit colleague; "peckish" and "gormless"...fascinating stuff.

And another few for you.... "Pillock", "gobshite".

Not too keen on American writing. Seams just not "propper" english althoug I do like "Fanny Bag" sounds somehow less gay than bumbag

I want to see some Ashes talk on here.....or why Aussies are geographically better placed for Thailand?

Its 12 hrs from the UK and 10 from Oz....its hardly a quick hop to Nice for the weekend....

Until recently I thought it was only 6 hours to Australia but just been told,

Bali doesn't belong to Australia

If they are here for a 3 week holiday then a lot hotels provide towels and little bottles of shampoo/soap.

Plus how do you know? Are you rifling through the bags?

I suppose it's fairly normal that good hotels provide towels, soap, shampoo, tea and coffee

facilities or even a fridge and tv.

But small resorts with 200/250 baht bungalows? What do people expect for 200 baht?

Free pick-up, free water, free wifi, free tea/coffee, free laundry facility not enough?

Back in time, long time ago, backpackers used to travel just with pure necessities.

A set of spare clothes, sarong, towel, soap, shampoo, thootbrush and paste.

You brought a towel? I just used a chamois leather (is that the correct English word?), much lighter and just as good.

Naa,back in my "hippie time" ;-) we didn't need towels, we just didn't wash :-)

Beware, if you go to Malaysia for your visa run. Filipino who was with me last time when II went to Kota Bharu got entry refused to Malaysia on the ground that he had no address (acommodation) or onward ticket from Malaysia. They said they would be satisfiedif he had an onward ticket from Thailand but he didn't have that one either. They wanted to se that he had cash (20'000 baht) or traveler cheques, credit card was not good enough.

I recon most pick pockets are opportunists. They don't just go on pure chance that there might be a wallet in your front, back or what ever pocket. I'm pretty sure, pick pockets know already where we stash our goods, probably after watching us at the ATM or at a shop.

In general there are always people around that might look easy targets (like when I was p***ing) so maybewe just have to try not to look "easy"? Now with suitcases, rucksacks that's not difficult as there are plenty of people who don't take care and so are easy prey (just like I was)

As an earlier poster said, I just have some loose money in different pockets when I go out. My "good" mobile phone stays at home. I got a redirect on it, so even if my "hightec" 550baht phone get's stolen, lost or drowns at sea, I don't loose my sim card. If someone manages to take some money out of a pocket, mostlikely I don't even notice (I might just think I spend it already) as I have money in the other pockets too.

Now for traveling, I normaly put my stuff in some of those big rice, sugar, phosphate or pig food bags. Banana Box is ok too. No one is interested in a dirty rice bag or a Banana box if there are loads of nice, new big suitcases and backpacks around.

If you're with Thai people and use "Ting-Tong" or "Baa" pointing at a farang,

you will get a lot of thumbs up but if it's used towards other Thai people it's

not very polite.

Not sure about Thai's younger generation but for the older Thai folks, using

"Ting-Tong" or "Ba" would put you about in the same category as someone

using "<deleted>" or "B****y" back in the UK.

B****y?

Just a bit to many stars, Naaa? :-)

Blame, hmmm ........ my keyboard
