  1. Yeah, it's not going to get any better, that's for sure. Start working out now, exercise vigorously, take creatine, change your diet, fast intermittenly, do yoga, tai chi, qi gong, wake up in the morning with a smile on your lips, throw open the curtain and welcome the sun...Then slip on a bar of a soap and you're done for. Tough luck!
  2. Actually, a body double was supposedly used for the nude scenes.
  3. You have to interpret it. It means they arrested somebody for these crimes, not necessarily the person who committed them.
  4. As part of the continuing series of old ladies doing action movies, we now have Kate Beckinsale, 52, playing a covert CIA agent in Canary Black. Beckinsale starred in the Underground series of movies a couple of decades ago, where she played a vampire hunter. Decked on in spandex, she was a feast for the eyes at that time. She still looks good and I have to commend her plastic surgeon but the movie is ridiculous. She goes around wearing platform shoes with 5 inch heels, which doesn't impede her at all (or her stunt double anyway) from engaging in martial arts mayhem, including defeating trained agents twice her size and somehow striking them with a closed fist in the face without breaking her hand. The plot, such as it is, sees her husband kidnapped so she can blackmailed to turn over a file that contains blackmail material on all the agents in the CIA. Ladies, please, it's time to put these movies to rest.
  5. I've just started the new Inspector Rebus book by Ian Rankin, "Midnight and Blue." Rebus is in prison now for his alleged involvement in the death of Big Ger Cafferty and when a murder occurs in one of the locked jail cells, it's a given he's going to take upon himself to investigate. Meanwhile Siobhan Clarke and her new partner are investigating the disappearance of a missing teenage girl in the outside world. Great stuff as usual. It's good to have John back. Rankin keep threatening to end the series but something keep drawing him back in.
  6. Just horrible. Even if you're sympathetic to his political views, he is such an a$$hole, it's painful to watch. Plus he looks like a serial killer.
  7. Sure, but only 30 seconds each time, so it still only adds up to 5 minutes.
  8. Well, you have to have the desire. It just increases the blood flow. But it's the same with Viagra. I have found it effective, anyway.
  9. I find marijuana helps
  10. The Shadow Strays is an Indonesian film on netflix focusing on pure action with almost no plot or character development. Stars Aurora Ribero as a trained assassin who is suspended after a botched job in Tokyo and accidentally meets up with a young boy she's determined to save from death at the hands of the mafia. In the vein of the Iko Iwais (the Indonesia Tony Jaa) films, there's a lot of hand-to-hand combat, shooting, acrobatics, explosions, the whole nine yards. You might wonder how a girl could possibly beat all those men but by the end she really does look like a demon.
  11. 165 for 30 at siam pharmacy
  12. I haven't found that to be the case. You do need to approach sex in a different way from when you were younger however.
  13. If the Constitutional Court is intervening, the decision has already been made. The current government is toast.
  14. You really are repeating yourself. First, your post on why people take the bus to Pattaya was just a repeat of a post you had made previously. And now this post as well. I recollect you posted something earlier about alcoholic farangs living in Nirun or Arcadia or wherever. Clearly, you're just looking for attention.
  15. Well, this is only partly true. You have to look for a partner close to your own age, which most farang don't want to do. There are plenty of women in their 50's. and 60's looking for companionship and a stable relationship. Personally, I'm not sure I could live with anyone again though.
  16. You're only fined 2000 no matter how many times you've missed. I didn't do a 90-day report for 14 years. Fine: 2000 baht.
  17. I already contacted them. They told me that mail deposit was the only option. Most banks have very small limits on mobile deposits. At Citibank it's only $1000 a day for example. Fidelity lowered their maximium to $1000 too after dealing with a number of fraud cases. Apparently, you could deposit a fake check and withdraw the money before they discovered it.
  18. Yeah, but the amount is over the allowed limit. There has been a spate of remote check frauds in the US lately and banks and brokerages are limiting how much you can deposit.
  19. I received a check as part of an inheritance issued by a US bank in US dollars. I have an account in the US so I can deposit it by mail but I decided to go to SCB where I have an account and see if they would deposit it. I remember reading that they weren't going to handle checks anymore and, in fact, the service representative really didn't know what to do but after consulting with another staff member and calling the head office she told me they could deposit the check for me but it would cost $15 upfront, another $45-100 if they had to "send it out for collection" whatever that means and that it would take 45-60 days. Of course, they would also screw me on the exchange rate. I suppose I'll send it to my US bank and deposit it by mail now, which will probably take about 10 days but I'll save on the fees and the exchange rate conversion. You would think technology would have made things more convenient not more expensive and difficult.
  20. If you miss a 90-day report, just wait and pay the fine when you do your next extension. In fact, some people I know never do a 90-day report and simply pay the fine before they renew. It's never a problem.
  21. It's not very good IMHO. I think I'll go back and watch Aliens 2, directed by James Cameron. That's when he knew how to direct movies before all this Avatar junk.
  22. This series just keeps getting better and better. The only flaw in season 4 was not enough Lamb
  23. How much does it cost to live in Australia, then? Say, average living expenses in a big city assuming you rent. For me, rent is a lot cheaper here than in the US, utilities are much cheaper, Internet, imported food is outrageous but you can still get chicken for 80 baht and pork 120 baht at kilo at Big C. How does that compare? Also in the US in most places you have to have a car, insurance is expensive, so maybe you need $60,000 a year minimum? I have seen articles in which people claim that can't survive on $200,000.
