ouch! well this is a sensible precaution otherwise kids would perpetually bunk school to play online games and shout obscenities at each other

No human being deserves to be chipped and tracked like an animal. Then again peoples behavior is sometimes akin to animals - sheep.

the LEGO world city got me a good 2 years back.

LEGO World City 4513: Grand Central Station

LEGO World City 7033: Armoured Car Action

and finally my fav:

LEGO World City 7034: Surveillance Truck

harmless fun or conditioning kids to accept state surveillance? then again ignorance is bliss. perhaps it better they stay in their childish ways for as long as possible! kids grow up too fast. I wouldn't want to be a kid again, not in a western democracy.

awesome result! glad u got it sorted in the end

I keep asking for a "shaking head in disbelief" emicon. This one will have to do

How about this one: or this:

then there is the classic MSN 'sarcasm' emote which i've used before to represent 'really?'

and this gem:

aww I hope she gets well soon. do we know the root cause of the problem?

d'oh !

no Thailand is not ready for Nuclear.

so... this is non-news then or was the boarder supposed to be closed by now? surely relations aren't that fraught? as mentioned above closing either side would just result in bad vibes.

all part of the western world promising to help Thailand modernize providing it takes active steps to stamp out unlicensed software. make the most of Thailand while you can. the western world won't be happy until all nations are harmonized into one huge generic blob.

scuba by your own admission deserve everything you get from injections. thanks for the dis-info.

nasty accident. was going to spout some drivel about living for today and not worrying so much about saving for retirement. I see all too many people saving all their working lives and having it cut short. clearly there is a balance to be struck here.

He says: Hello, Taxi (pointing to the nearest vehicle with a broken meter) I say: Chai khrap, Taxi jing jing

He says: Hello Tuk Tuk I say: Chai khrap, Tuk Tuk jing jing.

awesome. it's so true. one for next time, whenever the pound will stop tanking.

If he asks you for cigarettes move on to the next monk.

nice idea but the margins are thinner than they once were and the authorities might take a dim view or demand money! and even then you might have to cease "shipping". as above try Cambodia, they make t-shirts there too! also jumpers and hoodies.

a secure method of posting both ways will use up any savings made, and your passport will show by immigration stamps that you are still in thailand

that and only saving 3,000B means it isn't worth trying to dodge these formalities.

my tip so you don't run out of pages so quickly - check for pages stapled together! only after going through my passport did I notice a staple going through a two pages, but then the following page was used rendering them useless.

this is all over the torrent sites if you'd prefer a higher quality download.

sounds awesome. europe is full of map geeks

hanging up a damp towel near the window will have a humidifying effect on the room.

This whole thing about cc and hp is b@llocks and reminds me of "my dad is bigger than your dad" in the school playground. Ride what you're happy with

another vote here for Thunderbird and enabling your GMAIL for POP3/IMAP, preference being IMAP because any action in Thunderbird gets replicated in GMAIL. it can be done. there is a learning curve but you should have it all up and running in an hour or so.

google for guides on how to set this up or perhaps somebody here could go over the basics...

Any good vegetarian recommendations for BKK. Dont have to be veggie restaurants just places that do good vegetarian food apart from pad thai!

How about sushi? the vegetarian part of sushi anyway! at a stretch i'd include maki with fish eggs. if this sounds appealing get yo self down to Shabushi pronto! My other favourite combo is Somtam Thai with french fries, available at most food courts. Then you've got egg fried rice -ข้าวผัดเจ khaaoF phatL jaehM.

How are you for indian food? How much fruit can you eat in one day? Try locating one of those busy noodle shops where each bowl is approx 9baht. this causes confusion because you're effectively asking for noodles with nothing in them, what no meat?! is the expression.

I've flown London to BKK on a one-way ticket with Thai airways with no tourist visa only the intention of getting a 30 day stamp on entry. nobody said anything and I set off no alarms when boarding! however, in light of the recent developments I would advised getting a tourist visa sorted out before you depart.

I think it is MORE than a coincidence we get this news a day after the - no more back to back tourist visa news.

In my opinion this is a backlash from the recent documentary big trouble in tourist Thailand which was aired on UK TV the other day.

if you haven't watched that already it is available on mininova . i'm claiming fair use to post that here.

awesome. I really enjoyed this episode. missing somtam now also!
