James I of Scotland banned golf on pain of death! Possibly got the hump because he shot 300 on his maiden golf round, was refused permission by the Glasgow planning department for a golf club with cocktail lounge, high rise spa hotel & cocktail bar/Japanese restaurant. His spirit lives on in St Andrews, apparently.

By the way, you are, presumably, a Voltaire fan:

Abbe offering the Last Rights to Voltaire on his death bed: "Do you renounce the devil with all his works and pomps?"

Voltaire: "This is no time to be making enemies!"

Yes that's what we need, more golf courses, more cocktail bars, more expensive restaurants, more hiso condos and more dumb farangs who will frequent those places.

how do you get it??

some internet outfit they are!! can't even find them on Google search!

We are part of the universal consciousness. Nothing material is relevant.

Watched a schmoe from Goldman Sachs being interviewed by 'top financial interviewer' Charlie Rose. The guy didn't even know the difference between wrong and right! Are Charlie Rose and the rest just front men for the networks which are controlled by vested interests anyway and will never ask the real questions? Blow dried hair and orthodontry substitute for intelligence and probity in TV presenters.

If you're not on the inside, you're on the outside.

Gosh!

Not exactly a priority, especially if its the pilot.

I have been involved in resuscitating patients many times. A screen isn't always the first thing one thinks of. Done it on an aeroplane as well. No screen available there.

Doonesbury: Excuse me sir, but do you have a user friendly sales rep.

PC Store manager: You mean a consumer compatible livewear. No. He's off today!

here is the weather forecast:

Tomorrow will be muggy, followed by Toogy, Weggy, Thurgy, Frigy.

in the long run, everybody talks to everybody.

What a hypocrite! I can't believe the guy would even talk to these red terrorists.

tired of Thailand or tired of life??

rumours could be an exaggeration!

ok, but don't drive at night or in the rain.

Perhaps it does .. .. to the passport guy in Kosan Road.

She should have used Monkey-Gibbon!

Does the surname Neville-Gliddon sound genuine?

From what country are the two stamps at the top left of the photo?

saw a cartoon of one of those over a burger stand and the guy was saying to a customer: "We only serve burgers, but we serve lots of burgers!"

is there a toll on the overhead?????

There are no tolls from ON-Nut.

left them in 1969, shortly after i got a letter from branch manager advising me that I was one old halfpenny overdrawn..wish I kept the letter!

Get yourself a sterling account in Thailand.

'..styrofoam, a commercial name is technically called EPS or expanded polysterene, it's material is made from BENZENE, a known carcinogen. The chemicals that is used to produce foam in it was one time CFC, but having bad effect on the ozone layer, the HCFC is then used, although 95 % less harmful than the former, it still destroys the ozone layer. The consequences would be more ultraviolet rays entering the earth's atmosphere thus destroying many microorganism that gravely decrease crop yields and marine life...' and chickens, presumably!

Thaksin's power base is in the north....has no popularity in the South, as far as I know..

and the middle classes hate him..therefore, this will peter out as the money to support it dries up.

I feel sorry for the protesters as I believe they have been sold a pup by Thaksin and may have lost their properties and land to Thaksin's bank cronies.

They deserve better representation than somebody who is out to feather his own nest at the expense of his country, his people and human life.

My only fear is that after the current protests run their course and the red shirts break-up and become leaderless, a small hard core

will go underground and pursue their ends by terrorist means.

offside!!!

as in "fowl" ?

Korea aint the land of Smiles!!

I would also like to add, that Korea has a long and proud history of organised civil protest particularly by unions. One could say that the little man has his voice in Korea and it is achieved by removing his labour from the table.

Hence, I can understand any Korean PM being rather concerned that instead of sitting in the road for a day or two, then going to negotiations for an apparent victory, the protesters in Korea started to copy the PAD or UDD and simply decided to sit put ad nauseum until the relevant organisation caved 100% or the government shot the protesters.

I was in Seoul when the trade agreement concerning American beef imports was being done. It made the pictures of Silom yesterday look timid. The police/riot police presence was absolutely enormous, the venue was locked down secure, the people/farmers protested and the deal got signed.

Compare this to Suthep's pitiful efforts in Pattaya and ever since, and no wonder people really do wonder why Thailand even bothers with a law enforcement group like the Thai police? They would be better off subcontracting the riot control to outside contractors.
