  1. Original Slavery can be traced back to the Classical Era with the Greeks , the Middle Ages by the Anglo-Saxons and by Scots raiding Northern England. The trade in slaves from Africa, however seems to have been started from the Muslim Arabs of the Eastern Mediterranean.

    Right on the money, Sir. In flact, the word "slave" comes from "Slavic", as in "Slavic" people or countries. Of course, slavery started from the beginning of time. They were seen as the booty of war so to speak. Roman Gernerals use to followed by slaves taken during campaigns as he marched through the Roman streets receiving his "triumph". The Aztecs used slaves for human sacrifice. It is recorded in the Floritine Codex (the best descriptive history we have of the Aztec empire at its decline-written by a Spanish Monk) that the Aztecs sacrificed 20,000 slaves in one day! This was also probably used a form of population control (for their enemies) and one reason their enemies eagerly joined the Spanish in destroying them.

    Maybe the form of slavery that existed in Thailand was closer to the feudal system form of slavery practised in feudal europe. I know my wife is certainly aware of it as she is a big fan of the Thai king who finally abolished it. I think that most Thais are aware of it for that very reason.

    Good post Sir !

    Too many people label the US/UK with the invention of the despicable trade.( a la John Hawkins )

    It has a lengthy history. Best forgotten? Who knows....

    No smiley applicable ......

    Just realised - I'm totally off topic here.

    Sorry !

  3. ....What year ?

    :o

    1977 in LA.

    We were on a family holiday there and I had a cousin who had tickets and more important a spare ticket.

    As I was only 14, it was a very big thing to be allowed to go to a "Rock Concert" however my cousin was responsible so I was trusted to his care.

    Needless to say when he got arrested and I was calling my parents from the police station for help, their opinion changes somewhat.

    I thought it was a great show and was just stunned by how loud they were. I just found a clip of that actual concert that you can view. Actually lots of clips are here www.led-zeppelin.com Multi Media

    Huge Respect!

    :D

  4. A night of Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, The rolling Stones, The Animals, The Doors, Free and many others while in my local Bikers pub and maybe with a double vodka or three or more, was fun. Followed by a visit to the local bar run by Lesb*ans was my night out.

    To be spanked, have my bald head polished and the odd kiss here and there..... fun fun fun .....

    I do wonder what you guys do on a night apart from visit the ago-go bars or make happy with your Thai wives / husbands / G/f / BF.

    Maybe some of you are not allowed out on a weekend night?

    What do you get up to?

  5. My wife and I rebuilt a small fish farm last year and have about 230K catfish growing at one time. We've planted from 50 to 175 fish per square meter and we have never used aeration. There are both dirt and cement ponds.

    Nice one ! That is one of my ambitions in the future.

    Good luck with your venture!

    :o

  6. Hey guys,

    just wanted to let you all know how lucky you are once you can (still) enjoy Thai Food in LOS.

    A few weeks back I passed by a Thai Restaurant in St. Gallen in Switzerland and of course when I got aware it's a thai restaurant, I just had to take look at the menu...

    ...although I love Thai Food - This really scared me of:

    bowl of Tom Yam Goong CHF 28.-

    That's THB 843.-

    USD 22.40

    GPB 11.90

    EUR 17.63

    That's simply rediculous... :D

    ...so I'm still longing for thai food...

  7. Stop the personal attacks please :D

    Yeh right.....like I posted that dribble......

    Mods can post in ones absense...hmmmmmm thats not very nice :D

    SS , I replaced one of your personal attacks on Lampard with some advice.

    I have told him similar , if you want to ruin this thread I shall close it. I have no problem with the usuall Oz vs Pom banter, but the personal attacks will not be tolerated , you could have a go in Bedlam with less stringent moderation. No warnings have been issued.

    :D

    This is the Sports forum.....its a shame that filth like Lampard, Britfabric, Pie Boy, Old Croc post on this forum....

    The Fly is like a shark in the ocean....killing the weak so the pack stays strong........

    The Fly sorts out the feeble who dare post on the Mighty Sports forum.....such as Lampard.. a squashed Cane toad on a Queensland highway has a higher IQ than Lampard.......and looks better !!! :o

    Bedlam is just a waste of time, good for the looney left wingers to tell everyone how much they hate America, even though America are the ones that protect there freedom of speech and way of life.......nothing comes close the the Mighty Sports forum.......

    The Fly

    14 day suspension.

    You were warned nicely , it didn't seem to work.

    :D

    That will have been Admin3, he is a bit of a tinker. He did the same to me in another thread and now The Pink Stalker is using it as a signature :D

    At least Admin3 has a sense of humour though :o

    Not sure what you mean Lacoste , the culprit who edited your post in theother thread was not me.

    :D
