  1. That box looks like the Nissan Big M setup with shorter arms. Most Mom n Pop type dealers still stock them, worth a try, visit a few.

    I am guessing there is no website for Bangkok autodealers to order from? Like GSF in the UK?

    What kinda price should I be looking at for a new stalk?

    Cheers

    if you are around bangkok go to chiang gong in bang plee. Hundreds of secondhand parts dealers.

  2. cut off the bread and rice and sweet things on you have won half the war......

    The rice is a tough one, and noodles, any suggestions as to what I can substitute seeing as you get rice and or noodles with just about any meal.

    Bread. tongue.pngtongue.png

    I cut out rice for about a month and lost 4 kg a few months ago.

    I've put one back on though as it's so hard to avoid rice here. Oh and finding those big bags of salt and vinegar crisps. As I can cook at home I do potatoes but soon get bored and too lazy/hot to cook and end up eating street or mall food with...... rice. rolleyes.gif

    There are western salads being sold here, but you may find they give accelerated weight loss due to not being washed. Noodle dishes, egg or bean noodles, something like Yaam Bplah duk foo (deep fried catfish on mango or lemon grass in a sweet sauce). Som Tam.

    How does a convicted sex offender make their way into Thailand ? alt=whistling.gif>

    "Hoffman was also ordered to provide a DNA sample to the national police registry and his name is now on the national sex offender registry." (source http://www.campbellrivermirror.com/news/114741954.html)

    Also been convicted of drunk driving in Canada https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/criminal/file/charges.do?fileID=1158010.0007

    And according to phuketwan his blood alcohol was .195 during this accident. I would say that this is the reason it is Hoffman's fault......

    How did you come by that information ?

    Those links don't work , for me anyway

    https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/esearch/esearchHome.do <- public search database of British Columbia Court system.

    Screenshot attached of his 2003 convictions for :

    Operating a Motor Vehicle while impaired Section 253 (a) Criminal Code of Canada (Guilty)

    Driving while Prohibited Section 95(1) Motor Vehicle Act of British Columbia (Guilty)

    Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Section 249 Criminal Code of Canada (Guilty)

    If you wish to know about the sexual assault conviction, search "Jason Hoffman Campbell River"

    His licence is already suspended there so looks like there is already another earlier incident.

  4. "get exercise, stop smoking, come back and see me" cheesy.gif

    yeah I was a bit like <deleted>, but at least it wasn't a total gtfo fatboy scenario

    "she wasn't interested in having sex right away"

    It is a nice way of saying: lets wait till you are less fat and smelly cheesy.gif

    In a weird way I find that cute and interesting......Like she really cares.

    If that is good or bad, I don't know but it is very funny.....(Sorry for the fun on your expense, but if it would happen to me, I wouldn't know what to answer....)

    heh, no worries, as long as people are smiling I don't mind if its at my expense.

    I don't think its a smell issue as I am pretty finicky about the way I smell and always ALWAYS carry a good cologne in my rucksack wherever I go.

    I just assume that like a lot of western girls, Thais are no different to being intolerant of a tubby guy.

    Which is fine because I definitely needed to lose a few pounds anyway (have lost nearly 10 pounds since arriving in BKK a month ago)

    No offence fella, but all smokers smell, they just don't know it. Adding smelly stuff doesn't make the smell go away the smoker just smells like they are doing the walk of shame.

    The feeding thing just sounds like she feels the need to 'service' you in some way or maybe trying to lighten the mood.

  5. 6 am in the morning. Guess you are never safe !!!!!

    I used to go cycling at 5.30 to finish by 7am to avoid the start of rush hour and the day long drunks, on the sea bridge in Chonburi, but most times there was people still drinking from the night before and just getting in their cars or on their motorbikes and going home while I was still cycling.

    Most times you had to dodge drunk motorbike/food stall vendors who had been out all night drinking.

    Then of course there are the times you have to pull off the road before the swerving pick up, fortuner or 20 year old Mercedes gets to you.

    Don't ever go cycling on a Sunday as they are more plastered than every other day.

  6. Thailand is much more expensive than it used to be. The overall numbers are down, but it does seem there are more people in employment and owning businesses away from tourist areas here.

    The old type of ex-pat here are now getting what they came for in South America, Phillipines, Cambodia, Eastern Europe etc....... it's all the Japanese fault. wink.png

    Thailand has become over priced for what it offers for them and most other ex-pats.

    As said it does seem more ex-pats you meet here are employed and or with families.

    The ex-pat night owl numbers in tourist towns and in lower Sukhumvit seem to be down massively.

    And yes the tourist numbers will continue to decline for several reasons, but yes because of the Chinese tourists making every tourist attraction unbearable and no they aren't comparable to other previous tourist groups as the other tourists didn't come in groups of hundreds treating anybody else as if they don't exist.

  7. You must be pretty thin-skinned to let a handful of giggling girls get to you.

    Me?

    Nope, I found it odd and am interested in sociology. smile.png

    It's strange that you got that from it.

    Trolling?

    So, according to you, I'm a Troll and so is Soi Biker, but I take it you're not huh ?

    I think we know the answer to that.
