OK...just think of a word(s) that is associated with each last response

for example.

Word: Football

1st reply: Davids

2nd reply: Drug Cheat

3rd reply: Streoids

4th reply: Palmiero

5th reply: Illegal

get it?

Guidelines:

1. One or Two words max

2. don't think about it, just the first thing that pops into your head

ok, first word: Thai Visa

great idea. it is like deciphering code sometimes with these newspaper headlines.

ยิง ดับ = ยิง 'ying' = shoot, and ดับ dàb = switch off, turn out. When I have seen ยิง ดับ before, it has meant 'shoot dead', but the article claims he was just seriously wounded and brought to hospital).

perhaps the meaning of ดับ in these cases could mean "to xxx his lights out" as in "to knock his lights out". So the combination of ยิง ดับ could have the range of meaning from shoot and kill to shoot and make unconscious or at least totally incapacitate.

Thats my 2 bahts, still trying to put the rest of the jigsaw puzzle together.

IMO it's a stupid idea to put the news clippings in a seperate room. There's already far too many rooms on this forum.

What's next? A Pattaya restaurant forum?

Iagree

I agree too. If it can't be good news, bad news, turn about, then best to keep it on Pattaya Forum where it soon disappears from view unless its sensational and then why shouldn't it be on the front page!

Exactly right. If there is no interest in the topic it soon disappears off the front page. If there is interest in the topic, it stays up and therefore deserves to be there.

If they start putting up a seperate news clippings rooms for each regional room, they'll have to add dozens of news clippings rooms. We are being disadvantaged here because we have a member who is good enough to post all the breaking news of the region as soon as it comes to hand.

I disagree. Any topics that disappear of the front page are replaced by 2 or 3 more of the same nature anyway.

you are outgunned and outsmarted, just pack your bag and go.

i don't like her attitude. but thats just me.

even though she tries hard, she can't seem to pull it off, whatever that may be.

Margaret and Jennifer are shopping together at the supermarket.

When they get to the vegetables, Sue hefts a good sized potato in each hand and says;

"You know, Jane, these remind me of John's balls."

Jane, impressed says; "Hmm, that big, huh?"

"No", Sue answers. "That dirty."

so whats the deal with Margaret? did I miss something ?

Margaret is Sue, right ?

I'd hate to see Thailand "fail", at least in a major way like the financial crash of the 90s.

Small failures here and there are normal and necessary to make way for new growth, so no need to get worried about that.

funny. I like the facials of the incompetent looking staff.

"I miss the old regime when all we had to do was cover up problems"

When I pass away, i'd like to have achieved all my major life goals.

that kind of wisdom is born only from years of hardened experience.

nice one 8/10

edge of the seat stuff, good game.... unfortunately just gonzo didnt deliver the goods with all those nerves, not to mention Federers mind games and skills.

Women raping men ? what a joke.

Something like that happened to me once. She was strong enough to hold me down and ride me on top. Embarrasing to admit it - I guess I was out of shape at the time.

You might of been out of shape, but still very sexy.

If Gonzalaz stays in the awesome form he is in, he is capable of beating Federer in straight sets.

I'd have to say his forehand is slightly more dangerous than Federers, and thats saying a lot.

4 sets going to Gonzalaz.

What do you think ?

Nah. We should be asking "what did he do right?"

But then again, there would be probably be nothing to discuss, except perhaps for a few half-cooked posts.

cheers meadish

i was wondering what it said. hoping someone would fill in the blanks.

the ignore button?

sorry if this has been posted before, but I just found it on youtube. its an analysis of 'Thaksin lying' by Sondhi. Its in Thai though...

the big troll protecting the little troll. it's cute.

he is probably basking in your approval.

so what else is wrong boss ?

Other than that this thread consists now of already three pages of mostly very rude personal insults against a first time poster?

no one seems to be listening to you anymore, boss.

well ill be buggered if thats not the best work of fiction i've read on TV.

Dude, helluva long post.

I commend you for having the patience to write it and myself for having the patience to read it!

I fear there is no right or wrong answer here and only you can truly decide what is the right to do. There are plenty of us here who will tell you that you'll never change the inherent nature of a bar girl (the old "you can take the girl out the bar..." scenario) while there are others who have married them and undoubtedly have loving and mutually beneficial relationships. I'd suggest you spend more time with your girl in Thailand before you think seriously about marriage, you can't possibly get a real idea of what she's likes by taking her out of her natural environment. If your current life doesn't allow for that then I'd say you're just taking too great a risk by jumping into wedlock and trying to get her into the UK. Are you ready to deal with all the cultural differences between you and do you know exactly what they are? Furthermore, do bear in mind that pretty faces, kind-heartedness, attentiveness and undying devotion are characteristics found in women across the country and it's unbelievably easy as a western guy to get hooked in by them without considering the bigger picture.

Congratulations for the first answer here to the OP's question that is neither rude, nor besides he point.

Your trolling technique didn't work this time.Just drop it.

wow you're so original :D

all that zoom is nice, but the SP510 reduces to 3megapixel at max zoom, and uses higher ISO to deal with the shake - its a high noise camera too. So, hopefully that newer model have overcome these problems
