Cool!!
Anybody know anything about this school? How did they get to be so good?
(Personally I always hated playing flag football in school. It's easier to tackle a guy than to grab that <deleted>' flag!!
) -
It has been a wasteland as far as college football goes. ESPN usually shows some bowl games at the end of the year, but they are typically second or third tier. Forget about the big games...
But I'm wondering... Now that UBC has pay per view (I think they've shown or are showing Cricket) maybe, just maybe, they'll show some college football. I for one would be willing to pay for some games, depending of course on the price.
(No reason to believe that they actually will do this. Just a wild fantasy on my part.)

You should read Thanong's column before it has been sub-edited. that's always good for a laugh as well. Give me a break. The guy's about as incisive as a brick, although he obviously has a few people fooled.
Phil,
You bad-mouth a colleague on a public forum?!
Excuse me if I don't line up with all the rest and say how wonderful you are.

I see that Ricky Williams is coming back to the fish this year though he still has to serve a four-game suspension for marijuana use. I wonder how his teammates will accept him after he basically dumped them last year. As I recall, the Dolphins were expected to go far before he left and they ended up with a pretty miserable season.
Found this on ESPN:
Steinberg said Williams studied holistic medicine at a school in northern California from October to April and finished the first year of a three-year program, then spent April at a yoga center in India and became certified as an instructor.
"Both emphasize natural methods of healing and are opposed to the use of drugs and alcohol to alter consciousness," Steinberg said.
After retiring, Williams lost more than 20 pounds on a vegetarian diet. Steinberg said his weight is back above 215, still below his listed weight of 226 on the 2004 preseason roster.
Doesn't sound like your avergae NFLer does it. Actually, I wish him well. (Except when he plays Da Bears!!)

Gone are the years of each player knowing where his teammate is headed. Gone is that no-look no-yelling for the ball passes.
Not yet!! Take a look at the Bulls ... up 2-0 against the Wizards.
With three rookie starters.

April fools joke from bangkok.com webmaster?
Excellent if that is the case.
Yeah, I think I wuz punk'd!!

Thanks for the link Udon. From there I was able to get into the forum where there is some discussion of the CAT blockage.

Tried to go to 2Bangkok.com this morning and got the following:
Sorry,
The web site you are accessing has been blocked by the requested of The Communication Authority of Thailand.
For more information please contact:
The Communications Authority Of Thailand,
99 Moo 3 Chaeng Watana Road, Thung Song Hong, Laksi, Bangkok 10002
This site is not usually politically controversially, with perhaps the occasional mild criticism of the government; and certainly wouldn't be viewed as sexually offensive.
What's that all about, anyone know?
-
This probably won't help much, but did you know there is no Thai word for helicopter?
They just say, 'Helikopterrrr'.
The Thai guys who work offshore just call it "chopper", (or actually "chop PERRR").

JT,
I'm living upcountry now so don't know exactly what the scene is in Bangers these days, but my first guess would be Larry's Dive on Sukh. 22 as they seem to show lots of N. American sports.

I think it comes with the turf. Getting to know and remember people and faces is the key to making money, whether working in a buy-me-drink bar, another kind of bar, or even a car dealership or other sales job, IMHO.
And let's not forget they've had a minimum of five- six years of intense practice in rote memorization in school. So they've been well-trained in this particular skill.

Pluto, It was either a guitar or a camera. A guitar is more cool, but a camera is more me. I have posted a few albums in the Thai Visa Photo Gallery. They are posted as "ParrotHead's ......" (There are 8 or so albums) I think my stuff has been dummed down to page 2, etc. I think there is a REAL picture of me somewhere in the mix.
So guitar ...on the beach...that must be THE Parrothead Mr. Buffet?
(Apolgies for getting off topic.)
-
Very definitely YES! He had a piece in last Sunday's BKK Post and if the picture is anything to go by, he's looking pretty spry. (Tried to track it down in the Post's archives but no luck.)
I met him many years ago when he was working for the now defunct BKK World. Fine gentelman.

"They" have been trying to convert Thais to Christianity since the Dutch first came in what... the 16th C. ?
From what I can see, they haven't been too sucessful.

thanks, francois
I will look for the Adobe software next time I'm in Bangers.
Now all I have to do is find a tape deck

[let the sexually motivated perverts go to brasil if they want to expolit the natives... mind you if they did there would be an extreme farang teacher shortage in the LoS
I doubt if they could afford it. It's a long way for Malaysians to go. And since when are Malaysians teaching English in LOS?
The point is -- and I live in the south and have been to Dannok several times -- the vast majority of the guys who thiaw there and Sadao are Malaysian.
Maybe this is the kind of sad character a repressed culture produces.

I asked this question in the General forum last week but I'll ask it again here because I need some technical help.
I understand I can convert music from audio cassette tapes to CDs by connecting a tape deck to my computer, recording the music, then transfering the files to a RW disc.
What software and sound card would I need to do this? Does the "standard" sound card that you get with a new computer enable you to record music? What format would the music be in, MP3 or..?
Thanks for your help.

Newsweek had a story a couple of years ago about the Bangkok race tracks and said the owners basically sit around before the race and decide who's going to win. They said one jock had to zigzag his mount in order to not come in first. Funny thing, this was at the time when Purachai "Mr Clean" was Interior Minister and trying to clean up the bar scene as part of his "Social Order" campaign. He didn't touch the corruption at the tracks.
So Cat, you might go and enjoy the atmosphere but I would be very careful betting unless you've got some inside dope.

When I move there for good I will only hang out my CUBS flag .
Ya gotta wait until the World Series is over, right?
Well, we Cubbie fans can dream on, can't we?

Congrats to Canada!
And to correct my earlier post, technically it's not a players' strike but an owners lockout in the NHL. Same result tho', no pro hockey in North America.
-
Maybe hockey in Bangkok and Chiang Mai is all we'll have for a while. I just found out the NHL is going on strike today!

Was in Hat Yai on Sunday and it seemed normally busy in the tourist/shopping areas. To me it didn't seem nearly as bad as during the SARS crisis; then you saw virtually no Malaysians in the city.
Anyway, as someone who lives in the South, I am more afraid of drunken, trigger-happy Thai cops than terrorists. But having said that, I realize that in Songkhla province (which includes Hat Yai city) things are not nearly as serious as further south: Yala, Pattani, Narithiwat. Songkhla town is still the same sleepy old place it's always been. Hope it stays that way.

Got these old blues tapes I'd like to convert to CD. Thought I saw this service advertised somewhere in Bangkok last time I was there but can't remember where.
Anybody had it done? Cost? What's the format? MP3 or...?I assume the sound quality is only as good as the tape and hopefully won't degrade anymore when converted.
Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty sure Bourbon Street (Washington Sq.) is open for breakfast and if so they would have the game on.
