  1. O NO! Are you sure about Oliver? O no, what horrid horrid shame. I thought Horst was lovely, grumy and scrowly, but such a kind big bear, and now Oliver. So sad.

    Ceremonies are at Wat Phra Singh. Prayers started at 7pm last night so will probably be the same for the next few days.

  2. More bad news. Have just heard from one of our sons in Australia that Oliver Fruchtenicht has been killed in a motorcycle incident in Chiang Mai. Oliver is the son of Horst Fruchtenicht (also mentioned in these pages) and Warunee and did his schooling at CMIS. He and his sister Melanie were,are close friends of our kids. A lot of you may remember Horst from the Gymkhana and around town. If anybody knows details of funeral arrangements could you please let me know as we live out of town now.

  3. Wheres the best place to get a tattoo in pattaya ?

    Or is it safer to stick with a palour at home.

    On Khoa San road, which has a lot of very crappy tattoo parlors, YMK half way down in a arcade on the left, is VERY good. I've bought 7 tatoo's there, all free hand jobs, for friends,

    Center Point Plaza, 02 629 1027

    The best place is on your forehead and JimmieBlonde might give you a free hand job.

  4. She had heaps of punters? ..... She was probably in a few films they sell at Pantip as well!

    They would have to be 8mm films and she'd have a few miles on the clock now. DVD hadn't been invented then and I can't remember if VHS was out yet or not.

  5. I was in Patpong the night they filmed "Deer Hunter" scenes there. As another poster advised, the bar was the "Mississipi Queen". One of the dancers there actually appeared in the movie. She had heaps of business after that from punters who wanted their fifteen minutes of fame.

  6. Well it was expected. Simply awful. :o

    The sooner we go home and sack the lot of them the better.

    Bit harsh MB. If every English team was sacked after falling in to oblivion after one brief glimmer of greatness, English sport would be in a terrible mess. No more rugby, cricket, rugby league, soccer for instance. I can't ever see there being a world cup for tiddlywinks or conkers.

  7. How should ผู้ให้สัญญา and ผู้รับสัญญา be translated into English?

    I understand the basic meaning of 'contract giver' and 'contract accepter', but are there any specific legal terms in English that can be used here?

    The second term is almost always "the Contractor". The first one depends on the type of contract and how the terms are specified in the preamble. I have mostly seen it as "the Owner".

  8. are you implying that the Wallabies are sheepshagers, and what is the aussie convict doing to the sheep other than choking it.

    Heavens no. I think the nice Wallaby is just giving it the Heimlich Manouvre to stop it choking.

    On second thoughts, the second photo is probably just a Kiwi shepherd trying to to stop the lamb from choking.

    Either that, or he is pulling its head around for a bit of mouth to mouth.

  9. My wife's father is a Saw Jaw in Prachuab Khirikhan. I've been hanging around the saw saws, saw jaws, kamnans, puu yai baans for years now and have never really understood the organizational structure, the pecking order, or the history. Anyone can educate me? Thanks.

    My understanding is that a Saw Jaw is an elected member of a Provincial Assembly (Samachik Changwat = Saw Jaw), a Saw Saw is an elected member of the National Assembly (Samachik Supa = Saw Saw).

    The pecking order in ascending order is:

    Puyai Baan (Village headman)

    Kamnan (Tambon headman)

    Saw Jaw

    Saw Saw

    The actual power structure depends on who can their hands on the most cash in a particular province.

    My transliteration is bad and a native Thai speaker would be able to give you better information.

    Is Moly-D the same as molybdenum disulphide? We use that as a solid lubricant for different applications.
