  1. If you are looking for a cheap copy of this program, it might be a little early, since it is only a little over a month old. Chiangmai has two computer plaza's, but if you couldn't get at Phanthip, then it probably isn't on the shelfs yet.

  2. ZYABAN is not for everyone. The side effects for somepeople are horrendous :D

    The main known side effects of Zyban are shakiness, skin rash, dry mouth, confusion, anxiety, anorexia and dizziness. There are a few other side effects, that may go away during treatment, include restlessness, agitation, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia, headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, change in weight, confusion, anorexia, anxiety or tremor. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. Zyban may cause manic episodes with bipolar manic depression.

    Irregular sleep patterns, weird dreams from day 5, more energy, slightly dizzy with headaches, rash on my hands day 6,mood swings and irretabill, not interested in sex - but go on for hours when intimate.  :o

    I had a friend in Australia that used this chemical to try and stop smoking. I watched him go from a happy smoker (who wanted to stop) to a suicidal  manic depressive in about 3 months :D  :D

    Be careful, very careful, for what you wish for :D

    I don't like the potential side affects of this stuff. Maybe i will just "cold turkey" it. :D

  3. Wow, would you <deleted>?

    You were wrong 3 post ago and now you're being a Hall Monitor, talk about being french. :o

    Wow. I was wrong three post ago for saying that many ss are not detected by a regular magnet-sorry. We know that you have a $10,000 electro magnet in your shop than can detect minute amounts of ferrous material in ss. My freind only has one of those$1 horshoe magnets and it doesn't detect anything. Could you send him your machine so he can win this 2-beer bet??

    Surviving is is more than not being dumped in the Mae Nam Kok.

    But thanks anyway.

    You guys who know the North and are bored of LBFMs are invited to post.

    Thanks

    I don't know if i am bored of LBFMs or not. LBF means lady boy friend-right, but i don't know what the M stands for. Any way, i am not into LBF's, so i am not bored.

    If you are looking for this white chinese mix unspoiled lady then i can help you. I happen to know one, but she don't come cheap. It will take a substantial dowry, plus a 2m bt house, car, monthly allowance of at least 15,000 bt, monthly payments to the folks, and a finders fee. If interested, contact me at whitechinesesluts.com

  5. Not into netting.  If you can't get them off a cast/baiting, it really isn't fishing. :D

    I suspect that the way that the Thai(Asian) people fish has been going on for umpteen centuries long before rods and hooks were invented.

    They catch the fish,go home, cook,drink and eat.

    Just my opinion. :D

    Fishing for eating can be done in many manners. I remember using Dupont spinners (M-80's, Cherry bombs, etc.) I have also fished with an arc welder. Both these methods are very effective and large amounts of fish can be collected in a very short time. Good luck on winning the prize tomorrow :o

  6. :D:D

    70% but 100% of steel pop tabs are magnetic.

    Good work there Blacksmith Bob!

    Gee Sur Mose, What happened to MilkPlus???? You forgot to read the forum rules before you joined twice.

    "Please respect other members, no flame wars. All the rules in the thaivisa.com forum guidelines still apply in this forum, however it is the least moderated allowing open discussion or comments".

    Have a happy one :D

    Are you French?? :o

  7. But the thing is, in discussion yesterday, some say the ringpulls are made from stainless steel, while others say they are made from pure aluminium. Which is it?

                                                  Cheers :o.

    Here is the original question. If they were iron steel, they would rust. If they are ss, then they might be attracted to a magnet and might not.

  8. There are a couple of reasons they use the ring pull.

    Said by the know it all who doesnt even know Stainless Steel is magnetic.

    :o:D

    Austenitic Grades

    All austenitic grades have very low magnetic permeabilities and hence show almost no response to a magnet when in the annealed condition; the situation is, however, far less clear when these steels have been cold worked by wire drawing, rolling or even centreless grinding, shot blasting or heavy polishing. After substantial cold working Grade 304 may exhibit quite strong response to a magnet, whereas Grades 310 and 316 will in most instances still be almost totally non-responsive.

    The change in magnetic response is due to atomic lattice straining and formation of martensite. In general, the higher the nickel to chromium ratio the more stable is the austenitic structure and the less magnetic response that will be induced by cold work. Magnetic response can therefore be used as a method for sorting grades of stainless steel, but considerable caution needs to be exercised.

    Austenitic stainless steels comprise over 70% of total stainless steel production. They contain a maximum of 0.15% carbon, a minimum of 16% chromium and sufficient nickel and/or manganese to retain an austenitic structure at all temperatures from the cryogenic region to the melting point of the alloy. A typical composition is 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless is often used in flatware. Similarly 18/0 and 18/8 is also available. “Superaustenitic” stainless steels, such as alloy AL-6XN, exhibit great resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking over the 300 series.

  9. This is not just a Thai practice. I remember working in Hawaii, where if you had a local driving license, you could golf, etc for 1/5 the price the tourists paid. I'm sure it occurs in many other places in the western world.

    I have also produced my Thai drivers licence at the pay booth and demanded the Thai price, and it has worked. :o

  10. There are a couple of reasons they use the ring pull.

    They are used to make low cost limbs for land mine victims. I think it is used as par of one of the wearing parts.

    I will follow up if anyone is interested.

    Thailand doesn't have any land mine victims. Have i been saving these things for umteen years for Laos/Cambodia people?? There are other ways to loose limbs besides land mines :o

  11. My money`s on the ringpull being aluminium.

    P.S. there` a couple of beers on this one if I`m right.

                                                  Cheers :o.

    I'm 98.5% your right. I have about 1000 of them now and if they were SS. they would weigh a hel_l of a lot more. Most schools have a program and tell the kids it is for artificial limbs, but don't know. If true, it is a good program.

    Collect your beers :D

  12. limbo,

    All the doc's in town hit all the hospitals. For time, i prefer Over and Sari, but in most cases, and not too serious, you can tell the drug store by the Night Bazaar your symptons, and they will give you some drugs that will fix you. If you can wait, it is a lot cheaper to go to the doctors clinic for check. :o

  13. If you love her and believe that the relationship will last forever......

    give her: money, diamonds, gold, condominium, all expenses paid holiday around the world, new car, 55 gallon drum of French perfume, 55 gallon drum of French champagne, yacht.................

    If you love her but fear that the relationship may not last the distance..........

    buy her: A beer bar in Pattaya.

    If you don't really love her but just want to be nice..............

    Shake her hand and simply say, "Merry Christmas."

    If you really love her don't give her anything for Christmas, because she doesn't know the meaning. But New Years, usually all Thais exchange gifts. I suggest a vacuum cleaner. :o
