stu

thank you pepe

it makes it hard to buy stuff here when they change the names

is your surname...le pew ?

HAA ! i kill me

alllllllllllrighty then,

i'll just whizz over to america and grab a packet then...

i had it in oz before and it worked great

but when came to LOS i veered off course (so to speak )

anyway, goin back soon , would like to get some ZYBAN if possible

has it been seen or bought by anyone ??

anytips much appreciated

update :

my room has apparently been sprayed but

i am still itchin all night long

i asked to see what the house keeping people used

and they returned with a big green can of baygon !

i'm not sure i but think its not intended for bed bugs

although, i have done a bit of research and

i now fear it to be "scabies"

any thoughts ???

i have been incredibly itchy this week

been scratching myself silly

i shower minimum 3 times a day

im not allergic to anything !

my gf concures with me that if i sit on the lounge

after 5 mins i feel like i'm being eaten alive

do bed bugs get out of the bed and follow me ???

im in a serviced apartment so should i tell them to fumigate

or is there something i can do ?

true...customs are very strict,

such things are illegal !

but, i have a plan and a back up plan ...

worse comes to worse ,i could have a gay friend smuggle a baton

ps, when are these chatuchak markets open ?

when u say chatuchak

do you mean chatuchak markets ?

yes, i know everyone is your best friend in LOS,

would think of needing one here...

i want one for when i go home to australia

in my line of work, i regularly carry large sums of cash

which is/can not be insured...

so, maybe you can understand this ?

even though the oz government will not allow me to protect myself

i would very much like to do so

case in point ...last time i was robbed, lost nearly $20,000

which is a few months work for me,

cops got DNA samples off my car and told me the gang

whose car i identified , did 4 robberies that nite

"no worries"...we'll get em for sure they told me ,

that was 7 months ago ...i'm still waiting for that phone call

with all this rain, i been inside a lot...

have been trawling army surplus sites lately

so far i have seen stun guns,stun batons,stun torches

even a cell phone stun gun !

is there somewhere to buy such things in bkk ?

i ve been robbed twice in 2 yrs , last time i was looking

at cars in a yard in vic park (perth)

i've been told they r available in singapore but

i'd rather stay out of that place

anybody ?

and no , i would never use this against anyone,

only against an aggressor !

well its been about 16 yrs , so i guess i can fess up

my parents used to rent out one of our farm houses,

most of the people who rented them i got along with...but

there was one young couple i didn't like , not sure why ?

anyhoo, when they eventually moved out ,

i went up to the house to see if they had left anything behind...they had !

the lady had left behind some stuff, it was wrapped in newspaper

but i knew it was glass from the sound it made when it hit the floor !

i dont know how many i broke, but i remember hearing them come home

i ran pretty fast out the back door...

a bart simpson from wayback...i guess

chock dee

ok, so if i decide to go it alone

do i just exit the thai border...say hi to army/immigration type dude

and get my exit stamp then ,

walk 3 steps then turn around and come straight back in again ?

sayin hi to same dude and give him my passport which he just had a second ago ?

am i right ?

i just found this

it says

hmm, once i have crossed over border and exited thailand

how long must i wait before returning ?

i take it this bridge separates thailand and cambodia ?

so, there are guys who wait on bridge to make visa's for farang to enter cambo ?

whats in these casino's , any action apart from gambling ?

is safety an issue here ? robbers ?

could my taxi driver go walk with me ?

cheers

i am planning on doing my 1st visa run by taxi

to poi pet ...cambodia ,

i figure on hiring taxi thru my apartments private drivers

the guys who usually take you to airport,

is this a good idea , ok to go alone ?

i'm thinkin this may be faster than catching the bus ?

what do i need to take , just my passport ?

anything i should look out for ?

if i go over the border and check out the casino,

do i need a cambodia visa ?

are those guys over there cool or a bit uncool ?

any tips appreciated

stu

yes, that is true...but

i do need a fair bit done, as i'm not much of a drinker

i go pretty heavy on the coke, and just about anything sweet !

thats probably why i like thailand so much ,(so many honeys! )

anyhoo, any dentist around that have gas ? ,

it just makes the experience seem quicker,

IMHO its a better feelin than being drunk or high ,

second only to boom boom i reckon !

stu_$

wow ! amazing stuff !

i had these before myself, like you said very rare ,maybe once or twice a year

i remember doing a hard days work on the farm and went to bed with no dinner

that night...

i dreamt i was hitch hiking, and got picked up by a big truck

which happened to be driven by dolly parton,

i knew it was a dream as i sweet talked her to pull over the rig,

anyway, we had sex...but half way thru i sneezed

and then she wanted me to get out of the truck ,

thats all i remember, a bit of a crappy dream

just had to say it

cheers

stu_$

well i have been to one dentist already in silom,

he was ok but one of those guys that wants you

to have your mouth open for 20 minutes at a time

eventually i had to tap him on the leg to giv me a breather !

the dentist here do the same great work as aussie dentist's

but at half the price...they all have laser beams and hi tech office

so why cant i find some one with gas (nitrous) ?

i'm hoping somebody else has had this gas, cause once you have had it

you will always prefer it, not only is it anaesthetic, it in effect compresses time

as my doc in subiaco told me it affects the brains ability to process time

so a 3 hour stint in the chair feels like 10 minutes ( i kid you not)

so, have you seen a clinic with it ?

or is the hospital the only likely solution ?

thanks in advance

stu_$

i am having problems sleeping,

noisy neighbours , body clock is <deleted>@#$d...!

any one know of a brand name ?

and yes i know...beer and sang som , but i dont drink

chock dee

stu

whats the quickest bus ? is there an express one ?

i would like to get it done quick so i might have some spare time

for...ahem activities (nudge nudge wink wink say no more)

have done the search and so far the bus from sukhumvit soi 12 near 7-11

seems like the quickest but if theres a better option i d like 2 hear it

who's been for a run lately ?

this may be my only day away from ball n chain so i'm keen to

use it for all it's worth

standing by for reports

stu_$

i have received my application pack

for prospective spouse for oz

but who does the certifying of copies of my documents ?

is it the same people ?

cheers stu

my gf is sayin this like its goin out of fashion

better yet, anyone got a witty reply

cheers

stu

i had thought i was starting to understand

but now i think i've read so much on this site i've forgotten my own direction

basically,

i had a 2 week holiday in december, met girl, went gaga then

came back mid april, have taken extended holiday to be with lady

i would like her to come and stay in aust for as long as poss (6 or 9 mths)

i know b 4 i was told buckleys chance of this, but also read recently some one said

that ppl at oz embassy have been in good mood lately ?

(i.e some ppl have actually managed to snag visa's for gf )

now, i am australian, work on a family farm

without pay, as i have agreement with family to receive land in lieu of cash

will this give me probs to hold up my side of bargain ?

i know family can "give assurance of support"

gf is not working and hasnt for 6 months or so

i'm pretty sure thats a minus on the scoreboard !?

anyhoo, bearing in mind i will do almost anything to get her there

(including tie the knot )

which visa do you think is most suitable ?

also, i notice there are a lot of places that advertise for

marriage visa's for USA and UK , how come none for AUS ?

any agents in bkk to help with this stuff ?

thanks in advance

your all great in my book

stu_$

update !

i have since run ad aware and tune up utilities 2004

and managed to rid myself of lazy folder

i went thru list of open processe's in task manager and shut a few down

then...

was able to delete

gee, isnt ad aware great ! , but everything it grabs seems to come from

download accelerator plus 7 ,

if i didnt have dap7 , and just used windoze to" save target as"

would i still have all these cookies ?

cheers stu monster

ps, what me worry !

i have a file sittin on my desktop

an empty folder ( new folder)

not sure when i created it, but it just wont pi@# off

i did try and delete from the command prompt

but i couldnt get it to work

( i dont have dos xperience)

is there any free ware around that could handle the task ?

thanks stu

hmm, im not sure how to write this post

started writing it last week but got 2 depressed and gave up

i just wanted to know about other peoples experiences with breakups

regarding thai girls ,i know girls are girls around the world,

have they freaked out on you , called in the brother who's a muay thai champ ?

it just that we have already talked about sin sot

and her mother is quite keen on me marrying her daughter

as she is a widow of an army man !

I just dont want to end up in a ditch behind the army base

this is turning me into a sweaty insomniac
