when i get tired of being called fat i exercise.

Thainess -- the gift that keeps on giving.

Nobody is surprised by stories like this.

no, but i am surprised at the need to harp on about it endlessly and preface it with ridiculously indignant thread titles.

i get unfairly done i talk to the manager, never go back or both.

I certainly dont write a novella begging others to commiserate with me over the injustice of it all.

I didn't ask anyone to commiserate with me, I asked if I had given them enough dust to eat or if I should have returned for an extra round.

And now come on GirlDrinkDrunk, how do you always manage to get a new username so quickly ?

i beg your pardon, im not a girl and i dont drink much anymore.

Odd link to promote.

The first page alone shows three banned members and some barely-sane weirdo who's recently changed his avatar in "rememberance" of a 360 pound sex tourist who's just been given the boot.

a leg over.

perhaps the rise of the keyboard has taken away our capacity to write-or maybe its that we dont practise more earthy pursuits with our right hand as much as when we were younger-use it or lose it as the expression goes

I am hoping it is only a use it lose it issue.

I agree the keyboard, etc. is the thing now.

However, I find it a bit troubling that the block letters which I also very rarely do are still totally there, but the cursive signature is almost totally gone. I am guessing the control is from a different part of the brain.

Yes I can scribble SOMETHING but it is such a mess. and I know a mess is OK and common for signatures, but it's just that my mess ain't the same mess as 10 years ago by a long shot.

mine has become 2 squiggles, and if i have to repeat it through a sheaf of docs ans in thailand you so often do, it gets far worse. Signatures develop.

the biggest issue is that for many thais that do not need to sign things frequently, a signature is their name carefully printed and they do not understand how a signature can evolve through repition

i recently bought a vaio fit 15, lovely piece of kit, but the supplied wifi card was <deleted> and i had to replace it immediately.

works like a dream now, with a new intel centrino 6325 wifi card bought from invadeit and delivered for 1000 thb

with wireless n routers and a supposed n broadcomm card, i was getting 1-5 mbps but usually little more than 2mbps. speed tests using local servers. I had to use ethernet to make voip calls and work. when i swapped in the new card my speed tests showed a steady 50+ mbps

i am not alone with this problem by any means.

my last 16 inch vaio worked for 5 plus years of Hard usage, on 24/7 for work and play, extensive travel, made me countless thousands of dollars and never had a problem until the day the display died, so I went with a similar 15 in vaio.

sadly im not expecting the same this time around, but one can hope.

unfortunately i find that there are not that many good full 1080 choices out there.

If i had not needed to be back online same day and had not just coughed up massive school fees i would have gone macbook pro 15 in retina with win 8 installed.

think i still will as a belated xmas gift to myself.

After having owned 3 in a row, I will no longer buy HP. The first (a desktop) was excellent, the second (a higher end lap-top, 50k about 5 years ago), still pretty good but not without a number of issues at times, but the last one that we got for my other half (a cheaper 22k b model) has just been horrible.

(I got an Asus N56V to replace it and it's just great- a truly lovely piece of kit).

agreed, 2 hp laptops, an hp media center and a friends hp laptop, none lasted a year. would never buy hp again

simply put you are irrelevant, even the locals can see it.

I like Thai

In my opinion your logic is very faulty at best, the child a product of a broken home the mother the single parent working two jobs to support her family. daughter already had many years of the lack of supervision, mother and Farang marry, first time in years she was required to face restrictions, a time limit was set when her partying would end and she was expected to be home. She refuses to comply and was lock out of the home for a short duration of time on two occasions.

Your faulty reasoning, Why are you concerned that she could:

"run the risk of her falling into harms way on the streets at night, is not only wrong,it is illegal".

Why would you only think that those dangers you posted to, would only happen after she came home at 2:00 AM, If you are fair in your assessment.

Why would you not worry about her "falling into harms way on the streets at night" between 10:00 PM curfew and 2 AM return home, you have the option of being selective in your opinion. A responsible parent does not and must worry about her falling into harms way every night when she is out on the streets at night.

If you have a reason for your statement ""it is illegal" please explain how it is "illegal"?

Cheers:

The OP requested that the child be home by ten. Why ? because it is late and not an appropriate time for a child to be out

She broke the rule and he punished her by inflicting a punishment that goes against the reasoning for having the child in by a reasonable hour.

It's illegal because the op is no relation of this child. He was neither a parent or legal guardian, that is why his action of barring her from her residence is illegal.

Even if he was a guardian, it would be illegal, look at page 8 in the below link

This is one of the best posts I have ever read on TV. To the point. Well put. Supported by documentation. Hats off!

how easy it is to overlook the fact that the girl's mother had provided he tacit approval to the OP's actions.

i am very thankful i need not answer to the "community" here for the way i raise my child.

out of curiosity it would be nice if those of you with your strong opinions of wrong doing identify how many children you have/teenagers you have raised.

it seems the more shrill PC indignation on the board gets, the more exaggerated the OP's 'crime' becomes.

its quite sad that anyone would choose to make a big deal of this, OP included.

huffpo and e online have both picked up the story

CAT Telecom has reported that there is an ongoing issue with an international gateway/underwater cable that affects internet traffic.

George, thanks. I figured it was something like that.

The fact that a number of 2004 joiners have recently started posting contentious threads 9 years after they joined and which got them banned might have something to do with it...

forgive me for being unable to follow your reasoning, but had they been banned, how would they be posting now?

have you thought this out?

Really its best to enter at Bangkok as you can just walk through the green zone and

have a good chance of been OK. last time I was at Chiang Mai airport to meet my

daughter they were putting all the overseas arrivals baggage through the x-ray

machine, thats when they found a big set of drills (320) in metal case,had to pay

1,000 bht, but that was OK ,as its not easy finding good drill bits here.

If they do the same to you, 10 x 3Tb HDD are going to be very interesting to them,

1 they would not bother with, 5 10 they are going to want tax off you,and if you are

lucky thats all they will want.

A better Way might be to post a couple at a time to yourself,just ordinary air mail,

no couriers as they will rip you off.

regards Worgeordie

truly useful advice.

i don't know anyone who has been stopped walking through the green zone

just bring it. if you dont get stopped on the way out, you wont get stopped on the way in.

17 years of travel in and out of thailand and never once been stopped.

encrypt it if it makes you feel better, but that will just raise different alarm bells.

the op is little more than a load of pseudo intellectual twaddle.

quit trying so hard to sound smart.

"seven years after the coupe"

time to upgrade to a saloon or suv id say

id go to bangkok and buy from somewhere like red baron and try to swing a deal where they will buy it back when you are done.

id be looking for a great condition vfr, cbr or similar that is if superbike means sport bike.

otherwise a crf, or similar

remind me not to use the towels round yours.

i found with practice there is very little need to dry.

what astonishes me is the myopathy of the posters here. when presented an anecdote of a difficult time told only to reinforce how much better things have become some herecan only focus on the bad. which in this case proved effective.

take care of your own kids or do some charity work and leave the rest of us here to go about our business as wee see fit.

Not bad coming from a poster, who only joined yesterday!!

So for future reference: I you agree with miss lemon, please go on posting. If in the unlikely event, you don't agree with her, go and do charity work!!

Who do you think, you are??

so i need a post count of 4000 to have an opinion?

i didnt read that in the forum rules.
