  1. Well, that explains it.

    Last night I was wondering why my torrent files were no longer showing the contents. I use that option all the time to ensure that I am not downloading anything I don't want.

    After a few attempts, I realized that I was automatically selecting the left link, which has always been the torrent link, with the magnet link on the right. This has now been reversed.

    I'm not pleased. mad.gif

    But they aren't the only game in town.

    Now, I'll read the link to find out why they are going this route.

  2. IMO, the stands are not the answer.

    I had one and gave it away. It always threatened to pinch my fingers while inserting the full bottle.

    The really good solution would be a proper solid plastic pump-action tube with spigot. There is a squeezie-type pump but they are not very effective.

  3. Tops Pattaya, Central basement, Foodland all carry Duang Dee. They have a website.

    Casino Coffee has replaced Carrefour product at BgCX. Columbian and Brazil 100% arabica. Expresso also.

    Yes, just saw Casino coffee for the first time in our BigC Extra. But no decaf! I like to do 50/50. Get too jittery otherwise.

    Yes, you are correct. No decaf yet. I'm hoping it will be in the next shipment. Buying decaf anywhere else is usually twice as expensive as regular ground coffee.

    As for whole bean, my current stockpile includes.....

    Columbian

    Guatamalan

    Costa Rican

    Lao

    Vietnamese

    Thai (Duang Dee)

    Moccha (Central American/Ethiopian)

    And

    Sumatran ground.

    Brazilian ground (Casino)..mild but tasty

  4. A few hours ago:

    Posted Today, 12:07

    RT @tulsathit: Surapong also says passport can now be issued for Thaksin, "but I don't know if it's been issued."

    It was issued 1.5 months ago - but he had no clue? That it was issued on the same day he removed the blacklisting. Even though he removed the blacklist since Thaksin requested a new passport? What does he thinks happens when someone asks for a passport in general?

    Well, I'll tell you what doesn't happen...people don't get it flown out with diplomatic mail or diplomat courier.

    Unless there is a corrupt government in place.

    I would think that countries, that still offer their nationals passport service overseas, would most probably send the passports in diplomatic pouches. Notable exceptions being countries that out-source or centralize, resulting in passport being sent by post. They aren't necessarily pouches either. It's a figure of speech.

  5. I see big signs outside Micky D's all around Pattaya looking for staff. Why doesn't your friend stop selling illegal merchandise, get off the game, and try a legitimate job for a living instead...too lazy?

    Try living on 6,000THB a month and then let some cop stick his pecker up your as* when you decide to stop living in poverty and sell some copy CDs.

    There are some real smug jerks around here.

    Yep.

    As a major cultural influence once (allegedly) said..

    "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

  6. OK, Got it. :)

    Stone Chips, previously unnoticed, cut the wiper blades, leaving streaks.

    It was the line about the chips being "in the parking area below your line of sight" that threw me....

    Chips?

    Coming from Canada, and a city that used gravel on the streets in winter, you expect to change the entire windshield every 1-2 years.

  7. This is actually good news for Thailand. A tourist pointing out that there are other places to go rather than girlie bars.

    I agree 100%...Why would anyone want to have the first impression of Thailand as a sex hole...? A shaved "gash" between some mindless womans legs dancing in front of my face, IS NOT THAILAND...! If that is what you come here for then just stay home...It's obvious that these guys that DO come here for that, have the mentality of a 14 year old...When I arrived here for the first time I too was taken for a tour of the girly bars and thought it was a really bad PR move on the person that hosted me...I have better and more worthwhile things to do here than watch some hard up women perform for even more ugly,overweight, sex starved, hard up idiots...Good luck to all of you that promote this crap...But I can do without seeing a farm girl shove objects up and into places in her body that don't belong there...Not to mention the amount of money those idiots spend to satisfy some unfulfilled childhood fantasy there mothers could not provide...

    I have this image of you almost purple with indignation! :D

    You must have been very observant on that solitary visit to have kept such a vivid memory of it......

  8. I hope that you get some good suggestions. I was wondering the exact same thing just a few days ago.

    A large city like Bangkok has to be the best bet. With all the hotels and condos with gym facilities, there has to be decent second-hand market. The question is where?

  9. What a sad and pathetic story.

    Visit a country where you cannot speak any of the language, then get upset and angry that a young uneducated waiter gets your order mixed up. Refuse to wait. Refuse to pay. Then lie to a large group of potential customers in order to cost them more business.

    Some Westerners and their attitudes here are absolutely disgusting.

    It is a pity that the staff didn't hear your blatant lies that were served to lose them business and money and have you charged with slander.

    Are you completely stupid or do you have a basic comprehension problem.

    I havent visited.. I live her

    Who said anything about getting mad or upset.. I kept my cool at all times.

    Refuse to wait.. I think 15 minutes to wait for a iced coffee is probably streching it abit and arguably showing a degree of patience

    Refuse to pay... tell me when you have willingly paid for goods ordered but not received.

    On reflection I probably shouldnt have poisoned the other folks perceptions of the restaurant and if you see may later post i think Ive figured out what went on but your little tirade has more emotion and anger in it than the whole event had.

    Probably helpful to you if you use this board to let off steam.

    Just read the OP next time and try not to jump to so many conclusions.

    Monty.....

    You didn't get what you ordered and you didn't pay. Fair enough.

    Getting caught up in the moment and lying(!) to potential customers was not on. Unfortunately, you realized this after the damage to the business was done.

  10. was at Mityon today and was offered a new CR 250 (non ABS) for 99,000................

    Is that a 2011 and they're doing that because the 2012s are around the corner?

    I severely doubt it.

    The bike isn't even a year old so it will probably be a few years before little upgrades are made.

    We'll see...

    I bought the first year model of the old CBR 150. By the second year model, the engine had less vibration, the mirrors were mounted in a different fashion, and the rear shock became adjustable.

    If there are no changes, take the old model on a clearout when they release the 2012 models in 2-3 months.

    Unless the new models are delayed due to factory problems. I read the motorcycle factory is not affected by the floods...yet.

  11. The negativity here is depressing.

    Whatever figure was given out I think TV members would moan saying it was too high or too low.

    That's all you lot do is moan. Your sarcasm is almost racist.

    A determination to find a long term solution to the flood problems is precisely what is needed and it is going to cost a huge amount of money. The money will create a huge number of jobs for Thais and will benefit the whole of Thailand not just Bangkok. Why does everyone here condemn it before anything has even been started. Just because some of the money will go astray is no reason for that. Money goes astray in all government spending all over the world. Look at your home countries before spouting your puritan bullshit here.

    Oh come on now.....

    Don't start getting all logical!

    These fools seeking any and all opportunities to inject their anti-"red" venom are the same people who polluted the forum for months last year.

    Seems they are here by mistake. They were looking for ThaiPolitics.com. Wish they could find it and leave us in peace.

    Until then, i have decided to report every over-the-top post for objectionable content. Perhaps if more would join in, TV would become a vitriol-free zone. :annoyed:

    So you are employing your own "self righteous" form of bigoted censorship then - I hope that the moderators treat your reports with the disdain that they deserve and only remove those offensive and insensitive posts that cannot be justified!!!! Have you ever heard of things such as "freedom of speech" and read about the "doctrines of dictatorship" - this assumes that you can read, that is :jap:!!!

    I suppose you are going to report this posting - I hope you do so that the moderators can see what your game is, and that is to stifle anything that doesn't comply with your freakishly self-indulgent and selfish attitudes on your own beliefs being correct against all others being wrong - shame on you my friend for your devious behaviour - why don't you find a forum that finds people like you acceptable participants and leave TV to those that want to air their grievances about all matters Thai (including the performance of this abject government) for which and for some unearthly reason you seem intent on protecting ie: for some profoundly insane reason that I cannot fathom!!!!:annoyed:.

    Careful Steve, you don't want to blow a gasket!

    Why would you think I cannot read? It would be rather difficult to post without being able to read, would it not? :whistling:

    As for leaving ThaiVisa to those that want to air their grievances, that is exactly what I don't want.

  13. My father was on continuous oxygen. At home had the big O2 generator and plastic hose running to his reclining chair. To travel, he had a little portable machine. Not sure how much O2 it actually stored, or how much it would "extract" from the air and enrich his nose tube air supply.

    This is the way to go if you will be flying more than infrequently.

    My father was recently prescribed oxygen therapy, and finds the cylinders a bit intimidating. Remembering a current television series where a recurring character is using what appears to be a small pump, I did some Google research....

    They are called portable oxygen concentrators (poc). Some are continuous flow, some are on-demand. They can work from rechargeable batteries or even from vehicle power outlet.

    They are approved for in-flight use by the FAA since 2000.

    Seems like the way to go in the future. Best of luck.

  14. Thanks for this post.

    Trying to keep up with events, I find myself subjected to the most ridiculous armchair pronouncements. Without bias, most of these opportunists are of the anti-Thaksin persuasion.

    If you think I am exaggerating, you have not been reading these threads.

  15. I saw one in Pattaya about a month ago. On a`red plate with about 400km on it, so someone found a place to buy one.

    Not a bad-looking bike but I know nothing about them so off to check your link.

    Black and shiny it was, with good size (Chinese) rubber.
