    Had to understate my quals having been to Oxford and Cambridge. :o

    Oxford was King's Head, Grapes of Wrath, Turf Tavern, Carpenter's Arms and the Fountain (before they redeveloped Jericho).

    By the time I got to Cambridge I was too :D to remember where I was.

    (BTW, age of consent is 15, nothing wrong with having a 16-17-18 year old girlfriend. I had one when I was early 20s, then I grew up.)

    Still needs parental consent, and only for non commercial sex.

    Commercial sex:

    Include advertisements for condom ?

    A Joke That Will Have You Doubled-up On The Floor..

    Homer walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up to the TV. The 10:00 PM news was now on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a tall building preparing to jump.

    The blonde looked at Homer and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

    Homer replied, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

    The blonde said, "Well, I bet he won't."

    Homer placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on."

    Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed $20 to Homer saying, "Fair's fair, here's your money."

    Homer replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump."

    The blonde replied, "I saw it too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."

    Homer took the money.

    Commander of Highway Police to stamp out bribe-taking among officers

    The Commander of the Highway Police affirms that he attempt to do away with bribe taking among highway patrol officers to create a positive image for the police force.

    The Commander of the Highway Police, Pol Maj Gen Weerapong Chiunpakdee (วีรพงษ์ ชื่นภักด), traveled to deliver operational policy to more than 50 ranking highway police in Ayutthaya province early this morning (February 8). Pol Maj Gen Weerapong revealed that Highway Police would need to foster a positive working image to the public, and that he aimed to reduce bribe taking among officers in accordance with Interim Royal Thai Police Commissioner General Pol Gen Seripisut Temiyawet's (เสรีพิศุทธิ์ เตมียาเวช) policy.

    The Royal Thai Police Commissioner General has set a policy of zero bribe taking, gambling, and influential figures in all areas as these elements caused public burden.

    Pol Maj Gen Weerapong said that he would follow these directives and would also instruct officers to focus on counter narcotic operations as latest reports indicates that a large quantity of marijuana is streaming into Thailand from neighboring countries.

    I think it means that the west in general (lets not include the Americans)are seeing through religion for the sham it is. Some people feel the need for a replacement for this crutch and cherry pick from the mystic east the more obscure the better, it goes down so well at dinner parties.

    I feel you have made a very sweeping statement.

    I presume that you have studied or read extensively on various religions/ believes that have lead you to your conclusions.

    Personally as a child I was encouraged by my parents to feel and try various beliefs from CE to Judaism, from Wicker to Druid.

    Never found that I was "Happy" or at Peace with any particular one.

    Travelled to India and eventually Thailand to try to lean a little more, Very lucky that I found a teacher who had patience and time to talk to me.

    I believe that Buddhism is the nearest that I have found to a philosophy/ way of life that I can believe in and follow.

    I am married to a Thai and her family find it strange that I spend extended periods in the family Temple.

    Only my opinion please try to find something to follow and believe,

    I wish you well

    Regards

    Personally I find most of the jokes entertaining & the majority I have not heard before.

    (& I was born before 1960)

    If you find that you are so incensed as to send a negative comment why read them ??

    When are you intend to post a new joke and no more those from 1960?

    Recently, a girl I know asked if she could have a cigarette. I said without thinking, "Help yourself", translating it literally into Thai. It was already out of my mouth before I realised what I had said :D .

    So - come on, enquiring minds want to know!

    What exactly did you say?

    :D

    Patrick

    Nearest translation would be:

    Relieve yourself

    i.e.

    Relating to masturbation

    Thanks Cathy for explaining the chemical reaction, and to you and Ivan both a big "thanks" for your conditioning tips.

    I'll follow the conditioning regime you suggested.

    Ivan, I live in Chiang Mai & don't know the Bangkok hairdressing scene well, but have not yet seen any farang stylists working at well-known salons (prohibited because of taking jobs away from Thais???). There would seem to be plenty of scope plenty of scope for style-consultants all over Thailand, though! Best with your search...fruittbatt

    Straightening and perming solutions are the same thing. They break the chemical bonds in the hair shaft and then let them reform with the hair being held in the new shape. It sounds like the solution was just too strong for your hair and damaged it too much for it to reform strong bonds. The week wait after the color was absolutely the standard wait. I don't expect the stylist is using a henna based color? Henna coats hair and will keep a perm from "taking." But it sounds like the cuticle is damaged and not holding the color in, so I'm beting on damaged hair. Your best bet will be to cut it off, but until that is practical oil treatments and 30-minute deep conditioners (using heat) will help. Like at least twice a week.

    I agree 100 %

    To help try to condition at home

    Wash hair with mild soap based shampoo

    Towel dry hair, massage in oil based conditioner,

    Cover with plastic bag and towel,

    Leave for 30 min. and re shampoo,

    Apply conditioner.

    If you can avoid heat drying all the better

    Unfortunately hair is dead and once damaged impossible to repair.

    Patience….Only time and re-growth will adjust.

    Regards

    :o

    PS

    Know of job for qualified hair stylist in BKK ? :D
