MatPayne

Always red dot and I always play on American servers. I have been in US based RB6 team for nearly 3 years. I personally don't find the lag too bad, I suppose I have learned how to to cope with it. In RB6 Vegas I almost always play Team Survival with no respawn, so, so long as I get 1-2 kills I have done my job.

Forget about European servers though, totally unplayable. COD4 so far its been okay I tend to be getting 2 yellow dots.

Yeah me too - even have the motto 'The RED DOT'. I don't find the lag that bad too - If you play someone on a local server or fast connection then you can really kick ass!

COD4 has been ok for me too so far (even though my disk messed up) and there are plenty of people on from Singapore / Hong Kong that make for some lag free gaming.

Fancy a private party?

Last time I was in the States I noticed that the sudafed was in a locked cabinet and you had to ask the employee to open it up for you. Guess they are really keeping an eye on the purchasers.

Apparently they can be mixed with something, so the governments are keeping an eye on them. Not sure what it is.

I'll have to admit I tried them for several days, then quit. They do work really well for taking away hunger pains and forgetting about food. But if anything makes me tired or feel odd, I'm done unless it's just for a day or two.

For my weight loss I'm not using drugs. I've dramatically changed how I eat, and have added more exercise by using an air walker (love those things!) and taking short walks when it's not too hot. Weight loss? Five pounds since Saturday.

I believe they are used in the preparation of crystal meth or 'yaba' as it is called in Thailand when mixed with speed. Probably the reason you have problems getting them locally.

Command & Conquer 2 3

Kane & Lynch is also a game i cant wait for...

Have you got the T8 and T10 screwdrivers too? Im waiting for those from the states then i will fix it myself.

You'll need to remover the x-clamps, there's a really good guide online.

PM if u want the details and god luckwith your project.

You can get the case opening tool at MBK, I used it to change my case and it was fairly straight forward.

I've not been on Xbox Live since Ms started wielding the banstick, but am itching for some online play (I'm waiting for one XLBA game to be released before i try).

So, anyone in a similar position fancy a few games over XLink ?

Phazey - Did you get banned from xbox live? I am still using it in Bangkok using a UK credit card & set up but have not had any problems (yet). I have not played any copies games on line just originals.

so what implications is there to me sending 10000 baht for my girlfriend to pay for her room and living.

Good question!

There's been a lot of talk about the new 90 days in a 180 day period for Visa exemptions. There are a lot of rumors flying and a lot of people are worried. My personal opinion is that the rule will never be enforced, and was just put on the books for certain "undesirables."

Having said all that, I still woudn't want to take my chance with a border run after Jan 1st. I've already gotten my tourist visa and I highly suggest others do the same.

You think the new regulations won't be enforced but you don't want to take the chance. Why not?

For two reasons.

One, because it's just my opinion and really it could go either way.

And two, because as I mentioned before there seems to be more scrutiny at land crossings than at the airport. I plan to do all of my future "visa runs" through the airport. When you think about it, buying a round trip ticket to Singapore, spending a few hours there then returning, is not much more expensive than the 2,000 baht you'd pay for a visa run, and it's certainly a safer bet coming through an airport.

I had a friend from Mauritius who was doing this long before the new regulations.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I got a 'highlighed' visa stamp coming through the airport on the 6th October!!

Stamps or days? Wait and see Lopburi, wait and see......

I am due to start a new job in Indonesia in January on a 6 week on 2 week off rotation. I was planning on being based in Thailand on my leave.

Will I now only be able to get 3 entries on visa on arrival during the 180 day period?

BANGKOK (XFN-ASIA) - Thailand's deposed premier Thaksin Shinawatra is still in China and has no plans to return to the kingdom anytime soon, his legal adviser said Saturday.

'He is still in Beijing and will stay there for a while,' Noppadol Pattama told reporters, adding Thaksin, who was ousted in a bloodless coup in September, was not returning to Thailand anytime soon.

Thaksin was in New York when the coup happened, and had since been living in self-imposed exile in London, where he has a home, but the former premier has been staying in China since this month, raising speculation he might return home soon.

Local reports said Thaksin might come back to Thailand in December, but Noppadol declined to say where the deposed leader would go after Beijing.

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, who was installed by the military following the coup, has said he was willing to hold talks with Thaksin about his return, if he approached Surayud to make formal arrangements.

But Surayud also said Thaksin should wait until 'security issues' were resolved before looking to return.

The premier said on Friday that martial law, imposed after the putsch, was still needed in the kingdom's north, a stronghold of Thaksin.

They should start accepting those European Biometrics passports. I am going to get one next week with wireless chip so they can scan this remotely. I wonder if this ever will come in place.

Imagine, you have your passport and you just walk through the gate. No scan, no picture, everything is stored on the passport. But you know, it reminds me fight with crime - they are always ahead of you. European Passports have pinctures stored, and immigration wants fingerprints. Once passport will have fingerprints stored, then they will ask for another check. Never ending, they always wants more and more.

e-card system has been up and running in certain countries in the middle east for about 5 years now!

Loads quicker and easier - if you have nothing to hide!

TOT banks on Suvarnabhumi connectivity

Lovely - Would not expect any less.

Special Branch Police Division 3 chief Pol Maj-Gen Atthakrit Thareechat who is providing security for Mr Thaksin in London.

Sounds highly illegal in the U.K! Would this not require a work permit?

The UK foreign office said he was free to travel to Britain "on a private basis" and said he does so often as he has relatives in the country.

Funny how this generally does not apply to most law obiding other Thais - just bent millionaries.

Try the U.K Immigration & Nationality Directorate - 'deals with complaints and allegations from the public about people who may have made a false claim to enter or remain in the UK'.
