Westerners usually are critical of eating cat or dog meat but in Australia it seems to be okay nowdays. Couldn't Thailand eat its way out of the stray cat and dog problem? Offering finer feline cooking might even attract a few more Aussie tourists. Any thoughts? Anyone ever tried cat food? Come on there must be a few Aussies here who have sampled it.

"Australians cook up wild cat stew" -BBC story

Cat stew for you.

"Australians have come up with a novel solution to the millions of feral cats roaming the outback - eat them.

The felines are the descendants of domestic pets and kill millions of small native animals each year.

A recent Alice Springs contest featured wild cat casserole. The meat is said to taste like a cross between rabbit and, perhaps inevitably, chicken.

But wildlife campaigners have expressed their dismay that Australia's wild cat now finds itself on the nation's menus.

Cat stew recipe

Feral cats are one of the most serious threats to Australia's native fauna.

One of the competition judges found the meat impossibly tough and had to politely excuse herself and spit it out

They eat almost anything that moves, including small marsupials, lizards, birds and spiders.

The woman behind the controversial cat stew recipe has said Australians could do their bit to help the environment by tucking into more feral pests, including pigeons and camels.

But it was a recipe for feline casserole that impressed some of the judges at an outback food competition in Alice Springs.

Preparing this unusual stew seems simple enough.

The meat should be diced and fried until it is brown. Then lemon grass is to be added along with salt and pepper and three cups of quandong, which is a sweet desert fruit.

It is recommended that the dish be left to simmer for five hours before being garnished with bush plums and mistletoe berries.

Marinated moggie was not to everyone's taste. One of the competition judges found the meat impossibly tough and had to politely excuse herself and spit it out in a backroom.

Wild cats are considered good eating by some Aborigines, who roast the animals on an open fire.

This outback cuisine does come with a health warning.

Scientists have said that those eating wild cats could be exposed to harmful bacteria and toxins."

That place keep expanding! Pretty soon they are going to have to move the bus station. How many people showed up? It must have been a sight for the locals. The front of the restaurant kind of looks like one of those all you can eat Moo-GaTa buffets that are popular in Thailand now.

Cutting off his penis is the logical thing to do. Cutting off his index finger would seem a bit crazy, don't you think?

I went there yesterday. The burger was just okay. Actually it kind of tasted like an A and W burger. To be honest the suace had very little taste. I think the food is a bit hyped up. The french fries were pretty good though. The burger just wasn't anything special in my view. The place is a bit hard to find in that place if you don't know where to go. It's inside the area on the top floor which sells packaged food; it might be the food court. It's hidden in the back next to the Pizza Pizza place.

Can't remember exactly what metals the guy was talking about but I don't recall him mentioning Gold specifically. I think he was referring to metals used more in industry. He mentioned some complex reasons why he thought metals would be affected. Who knows if things go up or down? I guess if the US goes into a recession there would be less demand for products and so factories would take less orders and prices would come down.

The Thai sun will do wonders for your skin.

Too much love will kill you.

If you like to drink, yikes!

Come without expectations as you will not get what you want at the speed you want. Learn to live with less. You'll hardly ever get exactly what you want but you will get by.

Just be prepared to take it easy.

BTW you can't hold onto your youth here.

I've often seen you driving Ratchabuild. I've got a big moon-colored balloon with which I float around at night. Sometimes I'll see you driving along looking through your binoculars but for some reason you never look up with them. The next time you are driving around naked at night look up in the sky and you might just see me there among the owls and bats.

Of course these could come true!

Not matter what you post in these young-old relationship threads, it's certainly true that all the posters here are interested in sex. Some posters are envious while others are smug about what they are getting. It's a keeping-up-with-the-Jones story only when it comes to sex some people can't 'compete' sexually as they are bound in some way. As one side enjoys one of the best things in nature, the other side looks on with jealousy and frustration tied down by society's view of morality. We will never be happy with what we have.

Why on earth would anyone spend so much time attacking people who are happy with their lives? The attackers must be unhappy. Why? They obviously don't have something they want.

Well, what's the argument then Maigo. Does this thread go on because someone thinks they are going to change someone else's mind about this?

And I always assumed that young Thai Girls found old Farang men with grey hair and fat guts sexually attractive, thanks for the enlightenment.

I guess that means that anyone married to one of these guys probably isn't happy be that person a young girl or and older lady. Sadly most men become this way as they get older.

I wonder if men married to fat wrinkly old ladies can really be happy married to them.

So I guess the message is that no one likes old people and so old people must hate themselves. God I would hate to old! But that day will come. How will I live when I am an old unwanted person?

Old people should acknowledge that they are unwanted and be put in a colony on an island. I'm glad we've finally resolved this issue. So how many members want to get on the next boat to the island of the wilted. Have you ever seen the movie Logan's Run? Once you turn 30 you must die. Youth is perfection and cannot be wasted on the old.

I don't know if this will help you at all xcyber but maybe it will. Eventually they should have the new die hard. I know the illegal copy is already out. You could try contacting the US producer and tell them you don't want to buy an illegal copy so could they please help you get a legal one.

And have kids quickly too. Buddhist do that too. That's logical.

Men and women who drink alcohol do not love their families. They are sinners. Of course I don't believe this myself but some people do. It's easy to find faults in people. Women who drank alcohol in Salem Massachusetts in the time of witch hunts would have been burned at the stake. Now what are we hunting for? Who are we trying to burn in the name of the goodness we know?

Don't you know it's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, an age of harmony and understanding?

I like the craziness of this subject. There's really no right or wrong. Everyone wants to put their idea of right on each other. Women should wear veils and stay at home. I understand the old geezers chasing the young girls. Being from the West I can't deny it a bit pathetic at the same time. It's funny to see the couples. I talked to an owner of a pub and she said 90% of the girls are in it for the money. She was very clear about that. Love can grow over time though. Another truth is that all marriages start with 'love' and many end without it. But at the same time you don't need love to have a successful marriage. Each persons idea of success is different.

I don't think any relationships are going to be ended by Thai the words of TV members. Differences in opinion will go on. One thing true is that each year more and more old guys find wives in places like Thailand like it or not.

Why the rush? Wait and live with the girl before you get married. Well, I guess if you marriage really means nothing then get married as you can cheat on your wife while your married and jump into another marriage if the one you go into fails. That seems to be pretty common out here in Thailand.

Casinos are doing well around the world it seems. They are building lots. I wonder who is more willing to take a risk: someone who has nothing to lose or someone who has something?

It's now or never some say. For many aging individuals in the US, when they take a look at their pensions and savings they soon realize that they are going to be slaving away into their 70s and 80s unless they make some money, some how, anyway they can and soon!

Do most investors know how to move their money in and out of their mutual funds? People with lots of money do but the small investors just put it in and leave it. Do your relatives back in the west move their money in an out with major movements of the market? I doubt it. Most trust their fund managers to do the right thing. I lost about 30 percent of my mutual funds values back in 1997. I just let the fund managers do their job. Ha Ha. Mutual fund managers don't always do the best. Sometimes an individual investor makes the better choice. Most average people still trust their fund managers.

The last great depression wasn't a one day crash. The market went down over a long period of time. Just because things look good this week doesn't mean that the big picture is really a long slow decline.

Hand in Glove - The smiths

Hand in glove

the sun shines out of our behinds

No it's NOT like any other love

this one's different

because it's us!

Hand in glove

we can go wherever we please

and everything depends upon

how near you stand to me

And if the people stare

then, the people stare

oh I really don't know

and I really don't care

Hand in glove

the Good People laugh

Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"

but we have something they'll never have

Hand in glove

the sun shines out of our behinds

Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"

but we have something they'll never have

And if the people stare

then, the people stare

oh I really don't know

and I really don't care

So hand in glove I stake my claim

I'll fight to the last breath

If they dare touch a hair on your head

I'll fight to the last breath

The good life is out there somewhere

so stay on my arm, you little charmer

But I know my luck too well

yes, I know my luck too well

and I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

Surreal is just as real as real. The movie sucked. Bruce Willis wanted to join the army at 50 and go fight terrorists for the US military. I wish he did. What a horrible movie. He looked like he was a real granpappy in that movie. What a pathetic flick it was in terms of quality. It fits in with B flicks for sure. I'm sure Willis's career is over with this movie. He should be coming to Thailand soon.

Why did Bruce Willis call the evil Asian girl he offed in DieHard a 'cheap Asian hooker'? She had a young lover? Did he say it because it appeals to a mass audience in the West? Just curious. She didn't appear to be from Thailand and she was obviously intelligent.

Boy does all the quoting take up space!

I've been stuffed up lately. I just went to the toilet a minute ago and now I feel like a new man. You must know much a nice poop can lift you up. There's nothing like a good one after a long period of being all backed up. Ahhh relief. I feel like dancing. Anyone like that Sinatra album 'Lucky Numbers'?

We are all going to the mulch pile. In not too long most people posting here will most likely be composting. Is it really worth it? The world demands a lot from us. It tells us to compete and critique. But the end will come soon enough, so why are we letting the world destroy the enjoyment we have now?

When we are really happy sometimes we forget who we are. Then some unhappy person slaps us and says 'Look at yourself. What are you doing? Grow up fool'

Well, it looks like markets are definitely being marked down. If anyone knew the future then things like recessions and crashes wouldn't take place. Buying stocks would be more like shopping at a department store where products have prices on them and their prices fluctuate very infrequently. The truth is right now anything could happen. The fed can't keep the markets in the green. A lot of experts feel that investors need to learn that they can lose money too. Apathy and Greenspan's 'irrational exhuberance' always seem to come back to the market. There's nothing strange about markets being stagnant or weakening for a year or two.

The scammers deserve something really bad in my opinion. They do nothing for this society.

Thailand's sickness is the Thai police (all of them top to bottom) Until they are cleaned up in corruption will always be king here.

If you can afford a computer you definitely aren't poor so don't worry. Poor people won't be buying cigarettes so the wealthy who will buy will be paying the government.

No one needs a cigarette except addicts who were addicted due to their availability and cheap prices. in the future with higher prices there should be less addicts.

BTW Farmers that desperately need a smoke can easily grow their own tabacky.

Korat is the gateway to the northeast but if you really want to see the northeast move out away from it. Issan is a very wide area. When you are away from the KFCs, McDonald's and 7 Elevens surrounded by rice fields, you're there.
