Who let this bizarre situation ever get to this point ?
Easy to laugh at the poor cops left to try and sort it all out !

Gee I'm looking forward to seeing my first baby dino !

Nisakiman hits the nail on the head , however he has forgoten that times have changed . I also grew ii up in a pipe
smoking household and worked in other countries ( mostly Arab ) where smoking was rife , in public places , on planes , Govt offices and it never bothered me one bit , though I never took to it myself.
However in the last 10 + years , especially in the West , people generally don't or aren't allowed to smoke in public so you
rarely get to inhale smoke . However I now find that when I do , it gets me gagging , believe you me .
So it's either down to the fact that non smokers are now a majority , or they have put something awful into the new
cigs .!

ABout 20 years ago a Polish grocery shop opened up in the small UK town where I grew up . Through thick and thin it has remined open while
so many of the old shops , pubs I remember from my youth have long closed , even their replacements and even a fmaily shop we once owned .
Must say I find it hard to get my head around that sometimes ,

Newnative , also Centre Point in Central London , castigated by many when built ( mostly for being kept deliberately empty by the developer - for more profit ) but now has Grade listed status .
Bit hard to see this happening in this case , frankly , but you never know .!

Now why did I promise to eat my underpants if he was elected !

Bit unfair really , think she should get some discounted credit for being probably the most stunning PM of any country at the time
while representing Thailand .
I am sure all those boring , suited , ageing Asian and other politicians wish she was back on seat !
Pity her grasp of commodity economics wasn't up to par .

Can't quite follow this one , if the scheme had been successful and made billions for the country , they should now , according to same logic be giving her a personal cheque for the difference ?

Wonder if this move will increase the value of the condo units in the Waterfront building ?

I used to visit someone in Bang Kwang a few years ago - The first (cell No#1 ) was always difficult to pass by due to a crowd of lady monks in white hanging around outside .
I later found out that he was a fallen but much respected monk who had managed to raise funds to build a Wat in the prison grounds - while he was actually doing time .
Seems that he was inside for - hanky panky with ladies . !
I can't speak for his religious commitments but this was a man who obviously had rock star status as well superb financial
and PR abilities .! -
Wonder if they will arrest all those foreign street beggers for taking Thai jobs ??

What kind of crazed leader , even by Muslim standards , would give the go ahead to kill Laden if he was in fact

Well I would hope to get a warranty as well , seems to me this diagnostic kit is just plug in from a lap top these days - not the
old sunken electronic pit which took up half the garage . Question of whether they have the software I suppose.

If you were buying from a garage in Bkk and it was a used BMW or Merc - is it possible to ask to see a print out of the engine diagnosic test ?
If they dont have one will the garage arrange to do a test - to make the sale ?
Seems to me this would show up any , major engine issues .
I had to do this with my car in the UK ( warning light came on ) but have no idea if they can arrange this here in Thailand ?
Thanks , Jack .

Thanks for that , Transam , I'll go look for one this weekend.
Best Regards,

Am just in for a new car battery .
My last experience with the " maintenance free " battery I bought was very sad , got a new one on warranty after 6 months and now this one has also gone afterabout 5 months .
( I dont use my car much which doesn't help I suppose .)
Seems they dont give a second battery with a warranty .
Anyone bought a maintenance type battery recently for a 2 litre German car ?
Would be keen to know the make , price and the shop in Pattaya or Jomtien that you recommend .
Thanks,
Jack.

Anyone know where exactly this shop is SD- Photodigital , tks

Hi ,
Sorry if this is elsewhere but I couldnt find out which docs I need to take to to Pattaya City Hall.
Anyway on the 1st ( or 2nd !) floor you will be given a number - mine was 34 and I was seen to by
friendly staff in about 3 minutes. !
You will need ;-
a) Original Chanoot and one copy for them to keep .
San Mat Su Kai original and one copy for them to keep - mine is a white form with 3 red stamps on it , guess it re-confirms that you are the one who actually bought the condo .
.
c) Your passport and a copy of the usual pages showing your details, departure form and final stay date.
d) Thirty baht ( yes 30 bht ! ) .
I arrived at 10.00 am and was the only one in the office , the process took me about 10 minutes or less.
NOTE.
What you DONT need to bring are photographs or a letter of residence from immigration .
Hope this will save someone a 300 baht fee fro a residence form at immigration

A friend of mine is much into cacti and he bought plenty of them at the market on Sukhumvit Road opposite the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. There is at least one dealer specialized in cacti and they are happy to share their knowledge with you.
OK thanks, raro I'll have a look there , after the New Year traffic clears . !
Best WIshes for 2011 . !
