The Man with the Golden Gun - interesting shots of BKK without so much traffic in the early eighties or late seventies.
Also The King And I - especially the later one with Jodie Foster. Not available in Thailand of course but nice scenery and sets . Based on very dubious history.

my least favorite magic trick is how money just disappears right out of my wallet faster than it goes in

Dogs are omnivore but a large proportion of their wastes will be meat. Most civilised countries forbid its use, along with human and cat waste, because of the risk of the transfer of parasites. Unless you can find a magic formula for eliminating the eggs of worms and so on, I wouldn't bother. We have 8 dogs and it all stays out in the field when we go for walks.
Good answer Cooked . I would not use it either unless it had gone though processing - perhaps composting or worm farm and even then i would be careful. Cat shit is the same. And it should never be used on food crops.

Office Depot , Makro and school supply shops will all have them. There is a school supply shop just up from Ekmai Bus station i was in yesterday - i am sure they would have a variety of rubber bands. You will also notice Thai Kids will join rubber bands together and use for a variety of games and will even make rubber balls out of the rubber bands even in the age of Ipads and computer games..

Never noticed the stars on my profile before. I only have one so i must be doing something right.

Aretha Franklin
Sorry Xen, not among my favourite female singers
That is fine. There are no absolutes in the game of likes and favourites.
I think you will find that most C & W and Soul Singers paid tribute doing gospel material ..

Maybe those bears were monks in a previous life and are now getting their " Khama ration " just like these monks at the temple will get theirs in the next lifetime. Mai pen rai.

Actually i clicked on it yesterday to look at flights from KL to BKK and now i haven't got the yellow today , so how do i re-visit the site if i have deleted my history. ??
Sorry - just stirring about re-visiting . It was annoying .

Well yes i see what you mean
Watching the Aussie Women's open last month and there were certainly some very attractive gals from Thailand,

Oh it was a lunar eclipse that we stared at the heavens for half an hour here in BKK. I was told to look into the sky but none of my Thai companions could explain what for . Did not see anything except for a few bright lights in the sky that did not seem to move . Maybe planes caught in the tractory beams of the Martian warships circulating earth i thought!.
Another Saturday night i shall treasure for the rest of my days. We should have banged a few pots and pans to scare the dragon away that was eating the moon. Never heard of that story before but i like it. Makes more sense than most of the shit i hear now-days.

And he couldn't write a decent song.
If you think i am needing to be educated because our opinions and tastes in music differ then so be it. I have heard enough of him to know i will not suddenly discover him as my my musical tastes evolve. There are far better and more talented musos out there that i will be listening to .

Sounds like a young Michael Jackson.
A friend of mine was his biographer and he said there was another side to him as a very serious musician and a talented artist plus very intelligent. He just sold out to the money and nobody would take him seriously. i don't blame them actually.

May be a unpopular nomination but the whole Billy Joel catalog. I have heard better and more tasteful advertisements for kitty litter. No emotion, no soul, no melody, no staying in tune, just recordings to accompany the jingle jangle of money in his pocket..
I apologize to all his admirers however .....................................

very punny title

Psychiatrists and Psyc nurses. just imagine how it would be listening to peoples problem continually whilst showing some form of empathy. Geriatric nursing would be also depressing .

Tops have bickfords lemon, lime or ginger ale flavour..add that to soda water
Brickfords also market a bitter lemon cordial in Oz . Not too bad but still has a tad too much sugar sweetness . I sometimes think we are to scared to really savor bitter as a sensation and a flavor in itself. I should add i can eat a lemon or lime just as easily as a mandarin.The bitter lemon cordial is nice mixed with lemonade or soda water . It is no where good enough to let it pollute good gin though . The Brickfords ginger is good too.

On the Singapore airways flight last week i notched Bitter Lemon on the menu .Genuine Schweppes it was. Had myself a couple just to test for quality but because it contains quinine i have to be careful with my my medications . But anything in near moderation i guess.
Tonic Water is a good substitute .

My step son when he was going to school near Chaing Rai had to pay for life insurance but we were never the named beneficiary - i suspect it was either the school or somebody attached to the school and probably the same person who was collecting on the commission.
I have even had taxi drivers try to sell me life insurance and banks telling me that when i open a bank account i must pay into life insurance . Lost the business straight away . They will tell any crap to get a commission.
In Australia i have had life insurance to cover large loans such as a house loan so if i should trip over into a coffin then at least my dependents are not left with a substantial debt , but here in Thailand i think the best advice is never to make yourself worth more dead than what you are worth alive.

Is Julian Gillard not actually Welsh?
Julia Gillard was born in Wales and Tony Abbott was born in London. We Aussies will accept all breeds of politicians without prejudice .

Taking it to an extreme but if somebody offered you a used second hand vehicle and it was ,say, it was a 1935 Bentley , you would turn it down because it was not new. You really have adopted Hi-so Thainess .
I personally consider quality rather than whether it is brand new more important. Style over fashion . substance over flashiness , <deleted>

So sorry to hear the news
Are These Dancers All Ladyboys Under The Influence Of LSD?
in Thailand Motor Discussion
Posted
It's all a mater of preference but i would have to agree with lostinissan . I see much prettier girls everywhere in Thailand without the silicon and the mandatory plastic attitudes . Therefore which ones are LB's are irrelevant .
