  1. A better man than the last one for sure. If he kicks out the Russians, even better.
  2. Yeah, me too. I usually wait until 9 PM to start.
  3. Season 3 episode 1 on eztv, etc.
  4. From the early 1970s Saddam was widely recognized as the power behind President al-Bakr, who after 1977 was little more than a figurehead. Saddam reached this position through his leadership of the internal security apparatus, a post that most senior Baʿathist figures had been too squeamish to fill. Saddam, however, had drawn hard lessons from the party’s failure in 1963 and resolved that no dissent should be allowed in party ranks, no opposition outside the party should be tolerated, and ideological commitment to party ideals alone was insufficient to guarantee the loyalty of internal security officers. Kinship bonds were, to him, much more promising. President al-Bakr concurred on that issue, and soon after the Baʿath takeover al-Bakr appointed his young relative (both al-Bakr and Saddam belonged to the tribe of Āl Bū Nāṣir) to the powerful posts of deputy chairman of the RCC, deputy secretary-general of the RL, and vice president. Al-Bakr also allowed Saddam to form the Presidential Guard, mostly from members of the Āl Bū Nāṣir and allied Sunni tribes. Between 1968 and the mid-1970s Saddam became the unchallenged leader of internal security. After he jailed, executed, or assassinated the regime’s opponents, he turned against his own opponents inside the ruling party, using the same tools and methods: a plethora of ubiquitous and ruthless internal security organs loyal to him personally. https://www.britannica.com/place/Iraq/Iraq-under-Saddam-Hussein
  5. Low GI seeded bread from big c extra (Pattaya) is the only way to go. And get them to cut it into the thick sliced.
  6. So this is a list of bars to avoid then. Ok. Got it.
  7. The Ents will get you.
  8. Hasn't migrated to torrents yet. Funny as there's 3 different season packs in scene rls. Tehran s03e01 is there too. House (whatever his real name is) is in the cast this season.

  10. Go listen to the soundtrack for MASH the movie. You'll know the song that applies.
  11. You have a virus that spams you with ads. McAfee just happens to be the ad it's pushing now. Get rid of the virus and the ads will disappear.
  12. Bus to airport. Train to closest BTS station to embassy. Bolt to embassy if needed. Least stressful way to get to anywhere in Bangkok from Pattaya.
  13. This reincarnation of the ”Bob” bot should be shut down. More ridiculous threads to generate traffic.
  14. Only 1 beer. But it was the 5 liter bottle.
  15. All 4 episodes of season 6 are now on scene rls. Should make it to the torrent site shortly, but no guarantees.
  16. The messages must be from the country where it was pirated from. No idea where they're doing that.
  17. It must be nice to be smarter and know more about music than The Rolling Stone. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-guitarists-1234814010/ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls066632618/
  18. I've been using GV for at least a decade. Free calls to US and Canada numbers. No monthly fee. International calls easily done and easy to add load. Cheaper to call landlines in the Philippines (do they charge for that in Thailand?) with GV than your local carrier. Your google account needs to be in the US to sign up.
  19. Radio stations play what they get paid to play. As for Hendrix, check out Pali Gap from his last studio album. Unbeatable. Too bad he OD'd. He was getting better and better.
  20. Expiration dates are mainly only applicable to dairy products, and tetracycline, which degrades chemically over time.
  21. It's obviously somebody testing new drone tech to replace taxis. The government is aware but cannot divulge the info.
  22. More likely penis replacement also known as new boyfriend.
  23. Buying is dead money for the people referenced in the OP.
