I don't understand all the hype surrounding him, he says he's been back a couple of times but got bored with it. There's more to life than spending 90% of it on the internet.

He's lying! He can't stay away......

BTW, if he says he has nowhere to stay........ ignore him, or point him towards the nearest shipping container.

and ignore him if he says he's living in a mobile home and could be posted overseas at any time.

Seems rather silly to me. Means you have to sit and wait 10 minutes to make separate posts.

Could be a good thing. It may prevent some members from posting 20 one-lined responses in the space of 10 mins.

btw, where is Dr PP these days?

is there a prize or something?

There sure is. The enjoyment of looking forward to acheiving the 1000 post mark.

What's so special about 1000? Is there another hidden forum?

At 1000 posts you then have the enjoyment of looking forward to achieving the 2000 post mark.

At 2000...etc..etc..etc.......

It's something about numbers and milestones. Personally I like the number 3760. Dunno why.

Have you tried tieing a bandana or neckerchief on your head so that sweat is absorbed by them.

I've seen a few polar masks for sale in bike shops (Stadium on Rachadapisek sells them). Maybe a bit too hot to wear fully but perhaps trimming one so that you only have the part that covers the top of your head might do the trick.

I've seen spray fresheners in TOPS for mc lids but it's probably just a shoe freshener spray in a different container.

What is the best way to clean the inside, so I don't have to smell a weightlifter's jockstrap every time I put it on?

Or........you could just tell your wieghtlifter friend to buy his own helmet.

Lots and lots of sex takes one's mind off the itch.

Best regards

I used to go to Lumpy Knee Park many times 14 -16 years ago when I was living only a 10 minute walk away. I used to see what you witnessed many times and even have had Thai girls and men approaching me. Usually they would just sit or stand nearby not saying anything but all the while looking at me. The guys soon upped and left when I showed no interest by carrying on reading the Bkk Post or a book. But the girls who I smiled at soon let it be known to me why some of them went there for. Basically, to be picked up.

I've seen guys getting the cold shoulder from a girl when she moved to sit somewhere else and the guy just followed her to wherever she went. But in nearly all circumstances the guys would very rarely encroach within 3 or 4 meters of the girl. Until that is, the girl made the mistake of opening her mouth, or maybe she just simply stopped playing hard to get, I dunno, and the guy then moves in closer for the kill

Parks on any Sunday seem to me be an attraction for alot of the 'ban norkers' (country folk) who are homesick for the greenery that they left back in their provinces. Having only one day off per week doesn't allow some of them to travel home in their free time. Some use the parks as a place to meet others, some actually jog around the paths, others probably just to relax, and of course those with other reasons.

Chatuchak. When the old Morchit bus station was just across the road from the park there was a couple of occassions were I'd seen old grey-haired guys approaching girls with knapsacks on their back and after a brief conversation, the guy then led the girl/s out of the park. I can only assume that the girls who were fresh off the bus were being offered immediate employment, either real jobs or otherwise.

Ref the girl in the OP, it looks like she just went there to relax, got chatted up or whatever, didn't have the nerve to say 'Fack Off' for fear of causing a scene, and the guys just persevered for awhile knowing that some girls do occassionally or eventually succumb to their speil.

One of the biggest changes from the old days is the disappearance of trams and bicycle rickshaws from Bangkok. A bit before my time though.

Some places still have rickshaws. A moobaan near me has them and I remember years ago reading that some moobaan owners preferred having them for security reasons. Riding around late at night they were quiet and supposedly deterred thieves.

About 10 years ago I also saw them being used in a soi adjacent to the Imperial shopping mall in Samrong and a few other areas nearby there too.

For Valentines Day and my wife's birthday I tell her that the most a person can give to another, is themselves.

So I offer myself to her and for those two days she gets to use or abuse me as she sees fit.

Only with one stipulation though......I don't do dishes.

Some of the stray soi dogs in my village have got little shirts on......yet a few little kids walk around barefoot.

Red Baron or Siam Superbike.

Red Baron, you would have to go there when the owner is in. Not many staff there speaks good enough English if you have an awkward problem to convey.

Nong Nat seems to be quite popular at the moment. She would win the people's popular vote.

Last night I asked 'Natty' if she'd be interested in the PM position.

Her eyes lit up until I explained that it wasn't to be found in the Karma Sutra.

Possibly just a buffalo. The horns and tail were probably sculptured that way too prevent them breaking off easily.

This happens to me all the time but mostly only when on the Newsclipping or Thai Lang forums here on TV.

If there's Thai script in a post the text changes to a smaller one. Just about readable but some words at the end of one line will be repeated at the beginning of the next.

The text remains small even when then moving to another forum. I have to close the browser and then return to the forum again to get things hunky dory.

I'm using IE6 and yesterday tried switching over to 'Thai Enabled' and was ok but it automatically switched back to Eng when changing to another forum.

No big deal, but..........

'Oh, Mr Porter!' - Will Hay

A guy on a platform asks Station Master Will Hay why he's tapping the train wheels with a hammer.

Will Hay "When I hear a clunk I know the train's wheels are ok."

Guy "Suppose you don't hear a clunk?"

Will Hay "Well, then I know that the train has already left."

Can't recall the name of the other Will Hay I saw when I was a kid but one line from it has always stayed with me. I think he played a Fire Station Chief.

Will Hay "Lend me 5 shillings."

Mo Marriot "No! Why should I?"

Will Hay "Think of the interest"

Mo Marriot "What interest?"

Will Hay "The interest in looking forward to getting your money back"

Classic with a capital 'C'.

One woman got a funeral bill for her mum who had died in 2000.

Another received a letter from her Royal Marine grandson five years after he sent it when on duty in Sierra Leone.

A 74-year-old man got a hospital appointment for December 1999.

And another man got 75 different items of mail including personal and business letters and share certificates.

While everybody else received a Post Office circular promising a faster and more reliable service for 1983.

A bit way out, but on the R33 which is the main rd running from Rangsit to Aranyprathet there's a little village community selling everything made from bamboo; ladders, brushes, furniture,etc.

Don't recall the name of the roadside village but it's situated somewhere between Nakhon Nayok and Kabinburi.

You're a Thai Redneck when your whole family sits on the floor eating a meal.......

......on the 3rd floor at the shopping mall.

Or you sit cross legged eating at KFC or Mac D's.

'Turd' is innocent enough. Especially in Northern Ireland.

Correct. As in "First, Second and Turd".

what KIND of babes does your machine tend to attract?

Never had my Harley attract a girl to me yet. When I meet girls in the malls they don't even know that I've got a bike because I don't dress like a biker. A few are actually surprised when they see the bike for the first time because they expected me to have a small 'nifty 150' or a step-thru.

Just simply being a farang is an attraction itself.

A big bike or a flashy car in Thailand isn't considered an extention of your penis.....it's an extention of your wallet.

Methinks someone's feeling a little cocky. Must have a hole in his pocket.

Proverb 1. Man with hole in pocket, feels cocky all day.

Proverb 2. Man who make love to girl on hill, is not on the level.

Depends on what type of babe you want.

If you should want the 'short, squat, Issan munchkin' type, then get a lime green step-thru with a dayglo orange front wheel rim and a purple one for the rear rim. Place a Harley Davidson sticker wherever it says 'Kawasaki'. Remove the rear pegs so that it allows passengers to scrape their flip flops along the road. Razz around the sois going no higher than 2nd gear but with enough speed to cause ample turbulence to lift your shirt over the back of your head.

Oh, and don't forget the exhaust with the 'macho-bee-in-a-tincan' sound that has you accelerating with your head turned to one side to be able to hear it. Don't forget also to streamline the bike by turning the mirrors inwards and, it's rumoured to be compulsory to put on narrow racing handles that allows you to escape from police custody while wearing handcuffs.

And never, absolutely never, do you put your right foot up immediately after a standing start. Leave your right leg outstretched as you accelerate as it saves you unnecessary energy expenditure from putting your leg back down again the next time that you stop.

And finally, never ever wear a helmet. Not because it looks 'totally un-cool' but because you don't want to be deemed as having a bit of common sense.

Now, all you have to do is hang around the noodle stalls or a 'Sewen' (7-11) and start reeling them in.

Or get a dog.

Why did you have to touch it? Why didn't he just say to mentally pick one out?

Seems like he's having someone relay to him which one you chose as already mentioned.

Next time just hover your hand over the coins and mentally pick one out and see what happens.

Quite a few as already mentioned.

Local Hero for the humor and Burt Lancaster.

The Third Man and A Touch of Evilbecause Orson was an acting and directing genious.

The Blues Brothers for the carnage and music.

Dawn of the Dead(both versions) Because it's just one of those movies were I'm always saying to myself "If I was in that situation, I'd do this or I'd do that."

Others inc.

Poltergeist and The Evil Dead Just enjoyable.

Scream. Great movie spoof.

The Haunting (original b/w) My own imagination alone made it too scary to watch at times.

The Entity Just scary.

Last American Hero Because Arnie takes the mickey out of himself.

True LiesFor the effects and Jamie Lee Curtis.

As Good As It Gets and most any other film with Jack Nicholson.

Plus too many more to mention.

Third World? I don't even know where the other two are. So no good asking me
