Is anybody taking this medication/treatment? Thks.

I'm not after a gun, but want a red dot (prism) gun-sight. thks.

What's the cheapest flight, Singas -Chiang Mai, this coming June/July.

Cheapest I can find is Silk at about S$490.

Thanks.

Definitely smoked, I've done a bit of hot-smoking.

You know what they say about smoking fish, hell of a job to roll'em and worse still to keep the soggy buggers alight.

I'm still looking and when I find one I'll photo it.

The saba don't appeal to me...

I'm looking for a take-away dish, it is a smoked mackeral, about 15 inches long, always on a styrofoam plate, covered with gladwrap and comes with two sauce sachets. One is a dark sweet sauce, the other is a greenish, hot, spicy one.

I'm talking Bangkok, ok. I used to find them on Samseng Road, always at street stalls, but they haven't been there for a long time.

In April I did buy them near the overpass bridge , not far from the "China World" shopping centre. I was there today and no luck! Of course my Thai is lacking.

Their usually about 80-90 bht, depending on the size of the fish, absolutely delicious. Any help appreciated.

1. Are quality hearing aids available in Bangkok? If so, where etc

2. Would like an address of a good acupunture place either near khaosan or Yaowarat.

Have just bought a new notebook.

The months (date and time) are in thai, how do I change it to english?

I've been to pantip CM, however the places with the nc10 tell me a two week wait for the usb drive.

Can anyone tell me where they are available in CM?

Thks

I'm looking at renting accom for a month in Oct.

They all seem to want an extra months rent as bond.

I'm not too happy to pay it, as I've found in LOS that rules don't apply to falangs and I fly out of CM internationally and don't want a heap of baht on me or lose in converting it.

So are bonds negoitable? I'm happy to prepay elec and water.

A. Can I get them fixed in LOS, preferably Chiang Mai and

B. or would you do it in your home country?

C. Is there much golden staff in the hospitals?

Any info appreciated.

I,m about to get into ebooks and from what I see, there is a big future in it.

In Australia Nintendo have released their Dsi model For approx AU$299.

While this is mainly for games.....it can be used as an e-reader.

For approx $50 you can also buy a "card" with 100 classic titles, unabridged.

Along with games (which don't do much for me) the Dsi can be used for wifi net access.

Also check out Mobipocket ( do a search) it is a free download and turns your laptop or mobile phone into an ebook reader.

Also if you go the DSi way do a search on acekard or acecard....

Could someone help me with a favour.

I don't live in LOS but have been regularly visiting since '79. Was there for 4 weeks in Feb and will be back in May/June.

Could someone check with their health professional (pharmacist/GP) and ask if erythropeitin is available in Thailand and how much.

It's for anemia/kidney probs.

Thanks....

I would like to alter my webpage and brush up on using Frontpage.

Are there any courses around, english of course?

Thks

Thanks for that, telstra will give me one, no doubt something cheap..

I live in australia (but on hols in los) and have an old cdma phone which I hardly use. cdma is being phased out next year.

I thought I might pick one up here in bangers

A. are mobiles really cheap here

B. will they work in aust which has gsm, 3g and now NextG

C. and it is only a matter of switching sims?

Haven't been here for a couple of years so out of touch.......

I used to be able to buy smoked mackeral, on the street stalls.

It was about 15 inches long, on a styrene dish, gladwrap covered and came with 2 sauces, one sweet dark soy, the other green lime.

I had found them in Banglamphou and also near china town.

Obviously they didn't market too well as I cannot find them in their old spots. They were absolutely beautiful with beer.

SO can anyone tell me where to find them??

Thks

I haven't been here for a couple of years......

Which is the downtown centre with heaps of movie places and a Fuji restaurant, yeah I know there are many.

NOT the MBK centre, it also has a huge bookshop, Asia Books??

Thanks for that, did a river trip yesterday and it is just south oh chang pier.

Can anybody give me the address for 'the navy club' Bangkok.

Thks Laurenzo

Ok I've read the bangers-singas flight topic and will check with the net.

However any advice on cheap singapore to bkok flights would be appreciated, one way preferably.

I find jetstar a bit confusing and what starts as a cheap flight somehow ends up dearer.

Sheila, the Aussie housewife got out of the shower and slipped over on the

bathroom floor. Instead of slipping over forwards or backwards, she slipped,

did the splits and suctioned herself to the floor. She yelled out for her

husband Bruce. "Bruce, Bruce" she yelled. Bruce came running in. "Bruce,

I've bloody suctioned myself to the floor" she said.

"Strewth" Bruce said and tried to pull her up. "You're stuck fast girl. I'll

go across the road and get Cobba" (his mate). They came back and they both

tried to pull her up.

"No way. We can't do it, let's try Plan B." Cobba said

"Plan B?" exclaimed Bruce. "What's that"?

"I'll go home and get my hammer and chisel and we can break the tiles under

her and release the vacuum." replied Cobba

"Spot on" Bruce said. "While you're doing that, I'll stay here and play with

her tits."

"Play with her tits"? Cobba said, "Not exactly a good time for that mate?"

"No" Bruce replied, "But I reckon if I can get her wet enough, we can slide

her into the kitchen where the tiles aren't so expensive"

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot". I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand. ... I have had Sex since I was nine years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy." When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family was barred from the church from then on.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. ... Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!"

One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on TV." He called me a show off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left me after I was married." The Judge said, "Same here!"

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." -- My case comes up next Thursday.

Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more ###### troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I can't live any longer being so lonely." and the doctor said, "Look mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend so go get yourself a dog."

The Talking Dog...one great joke

In Tennessee, a man sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is around back. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt sitting next to a fence.

"You talk?" he asks the mutt.

"Yep," the mutt replies.

"So, What's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government so I told the CIA about my gift. In no time they had me jetting around the world, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

"I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. But the jetting around tired me out and I knew I wasn't getting any younger. So I signed up for a job at the airport doing some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible deals and plots there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife and a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. "Ten dollars," the owner says.

"This dog is amazing," the guy says. "Why are you selling him so cheap?"

"He's such a liar," the owner says. "He didn't do any of that stuff."

Infamy! Infamy!

They've all got it in for me.......

A bloke walked up to a hooker and asked how much

she charged for a hand job.

"$100," she replied.

"######," said the bloke. "That's a bit rich isn't it?"

"See that Porsche parked over there?" she said.

"I own it because I give the best hand jobs in town."

The bloke thought that this was OK and agreed to

the fee.

The hand job went on for hours. the bloke loved it

so much that he asked how much she charged for

a head job.

"$250," she replied.

"######!" sighed the bloke. "That's a bit rich isn't it?"

"See that block of units behind the Porsche?" said

the whore. "I paid for that with cash because I give

the best head jobs in town."

"Crikey," said the bloke. "I'll give that a go."

When the pro finished the best head job the bloke

had ever had, he asked her how much for the real

thing.

"See that factory behind the block of units?" she

asked.

"Yeah," replied the bloke.

"Well," she sighed, "That'd be mine if I had a pussy!"
