Are you sure you're getting all the channels ? there are two English language film channels on Sophon cable (channel 2 and 41 on my telly )

both are as bad as each other.

What is not typical is the disaster that is the re-laying of new tiling on the footpaths of Pattaya Tai

Everyone ( including Thai ) I have spoken to agrees its a disaster, they recon the money was allocated so it had to be spent. Then ooops all the money's spent we can't continue with the project untill new funds are allocated.

What's worse is that those foot paths where only put down about 2 years ago, now they have been dug up again......

Big Spuds call me now !!! you have my number in your private messages.

20.30 it's raining in South Pattaya (well for 2 minutes it rained)

If your friend has an e-mail address, you should send the e-mail to that address. It does not matter where in the world your friend checks for e-mail.

If you don't have your friends e-mail address, then I'm sorry but you are searching for a needle in a haystack.

Upto you!! You sure your not a Thai girl??

Nope, not a Thai girl.... but I do get to meet quite a few sadly they are mostly the type that should be avoided, if mariage is being considered.

I know I'm cynical, anyone who met those girls and knew what they where really upto would be cynical too.

That's not to say that all Thai girls are bad, far from it.

As some one else so rightly pointed out. the type of person you find depends where you look.

That is not the same statement!!

Yes you're correct it's not quite the same statement,

I was goading you a bit in to making a reply that's all.

I suppose that if everyone is happy with the arangement,

who am I to argue with it ? Upto you

The dowry idea just doesn't sit well with me thats all.

Has your mother recovered from the shock yet ???

Since I have a lot of .pdf documents to print and don't want to purchase a printer just yet could anyone recommend some places in BKK that are able to print from a USB, or email acct. that charges less?

Christ I thought I was tight...

Yes the paper is cheap the printer is quite cheap but ink is quite expensive , so is setting up the rest of an Internet Cafe and running it day in day out just waiting for the " big spender " to come in and print some PDF's

good luck in your search mate.

stuff everyone because everything's a con to get hands on my money

Or the other way to look at it is this.

I have to take care of myself first and foremost (as no one else will ).....otherwise how can I be in a fit state to take care of others ????

Of course if someone has enough money to look after themself's and a few other

"hanger ons " then why not. up to you

never ever seen her in a mini skirt ever and she doesnt have the 'assets' for a boob tube

That's good IMHO... it shows she's not yet a fully fledged " bar girl "

Just joking... some of those girls really do have a heart of gold, sadly most of them are still searching for it.

Ooops mentioned that word it might get the thread closed

So all those who refuse to pay come across as having no respect for the bride or her family in the eyes of any Thai.

What if the bride to be has been married before ??? what if she allready has children from another marriage ?? is it still expected that a dowry will be paid ??

How many times can she be sold ??

Some Thais take the piss and ask for stupid amounts of money for a dowry !!!!

maybe because they don't want their daughter to marry that particular man

or (most likely) because they are just plain gready.

It's such a stupid idea to pay a dowrey in this day and age (where's my asbestos suit)

I saw Howard on Walking street about a week ago and the van was at the entrance as normal,so the other TVP's where surely around somewhere.

Just though of something that made me laugh.

Howard on Walking street = Nightmare on Elm Street yesh I'm strange.

Time for some

Ask dereklev he was happy to pay

Try taking the card to your local camera shop or photo print shop and ask them to try formating it in a different brand of camera not Fuji.

You could also buy a card reader, many of them come with a utility to format the card.

I have had this happen a few times but the card has never been unrecoverable.

It's seems mainly to be caused by pulling the card out while the camera is on or pulling the USB cable out without shutting the camera down first.

The poll asks Will Big Spuds get his lady's visa

I voted no. I don't think she will get it

But I would not laugh at his missfortune,the ongoing saga of " refused again " is funny enough allready

By the way Big Spuds before you call me a tosser.

I was one of the first people to reply, when you first asked about getting her a tourist visa.

You never did answer my question Why did you tell her to stop working ?

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9956&hl=

Am i screwed?

My girlfriend, is applying for visa in a few days, Tourist visa.

She has no regular income (apart from me) as i told her to pack her job in (shop) and go home.

She owns no land and no kids , basically no ties to thailand apart from family.

Is this really going to go against me on getiing the visa for her?

have kept all the usual stuff, records of relationship, photos, bills, etc......

But i feel this is going to be the reason for refusal any ideas or advice?

tourists having free sex could be arrested.

But paying for it is perfectly exceptable ???

TIT

She should turn up at the embassy wearing high heels,mini skirt,boob tube,highlighted hair,lots of gold and jewelry, have multiple tattoos and be constantly shouting into her mobile phone.

Hey why does everyone allways beat me too it ?

No really... she should dress smartly,blouse and skirt would be fine.

Had a pair of flip-flops stolen from outside my very own residence in South Pattaya, I can't begin to tell you how long I had to scrimp and save for a new pair from Big C (19 ฿ )

so i wiped my hard drive and did a complete system restore

How did you wipe the drive ? where did you restore from ? did you mean you reformated the hard drive and did a clean reinstal of the OS from an original CD ?

if not then it's very possible for a virus to still be with you.

Maybe you have some faulty hardware, first suspect being your DVD drive.

I assume you are wanting to bypass the Thai police messages

In that case freeman needs to search for information about proxy servers.

Google will certainly have some info about them.

That should stop the spammers doing bulk emailing.

IMHO it won't works as it's un-enforcable and.... as the bulk of junk mail is now sent out by "Zombied" windows machines that have had a mail server secretly installed on them !!!

The owners of such "Zombied' machines mostly have no idea that they are sending vast amounts of spam to all and saundry.

A spammer using his/her own account for sending spam is going to get shutdown quite quickly

What on earth are you talking about

I can receive emails via Eudora just fine, but cannot receive

On the Ji-net site they say use net1.ji-net.com for the SMTP

They have a FAQ here
