Hi, the new station is called T.I.T.S. Radio, and I forget which frequency its broadcast on, I am tempted to say 104.5 fm. Any one (ajarn et al ) please correct me if the freq. is wrong.

If I am not offshore then I will be pleased to lift a glass with you gentlemen.

( when is it the Queens B'day, some time in August, am I correct?)

Hi Girlx, I have been using a Sony Ericsson EDGE GC85 card, I paid 6000 baht for it. I use the DTAC system on special offer, 1300 baht per month, for unlimited access. This works fine for me, I find the reception is better when I go upstairs. The only drawback you may find is that you have to open an account with DTAC, and if you do not have the correct visa it can be a stumbling block.

I live in Chiang Mai and find that the system is usually a lot faster than dial up and does not drop out anywhere near the same number of times.

I hope this helps.

I think you mean Sonny Terry and Brownie Magee.

But who could ever forget the fabulous voice of Darryl Banks when he belted out "Our Love is in the pocket", ( he was shot in the throat by a policeman in 1968), or JJ Barnes, the man that had Marvin Gaye so scared he threatned to quit Motown if Berry Gordy did not kill off his career. Another artist that was a major influence on the Beatles was Chuck Jackson, their favourite singer in the early sixties. Listen to some of Spyder Turners tracks, this is the man Elvis said he wanted to sound like.

There has just been a major 6 week series on soul music and its influence broardcast on BBC 2. If anyone in the Uk has taped it and is coming over to LOS, if they would be kind enough to lend me the tapes I would get them copied and return the originals to you.

I don't know if the BBC are going to put it out on DVD but by the sounds of things it will be worth picking up if they do.

If you go over to the Ban Talai, ( I think this is correct), area you should be able to find several furniture factory shops. Scope out what you like, then go home and discus with the boss.

After you have agreed on what you want let her go and buy it on her own, she will possibly get a better price than you would,(this is of course provided she is a Thai).

We paid 19500 for a suite consisting of sofa, 2 easy chairs and a large glass topped coffee table, all made from water Hyacinth. This equates to 400 euro's and they delivered it straightaway.

There are also some wooden furniture manufacturers out on the San Kampang rd as well.

Good luck

Does that mean that Thailand will become an IT "HUB" ? Maybe this time for real?

Going back to the OP's question. I was questioned in Perth at the very start of the year, luckily I was carrying the return portion of my Dub-Bkk-Dub ticket with me. This was at the Quantas check-in for the Thai airways flight.

Hi Asia Wolfie, I paid 5200 baht for a 80 gb/ 5400 rpm hard drive at a small shop in the Airport Plaza here in Chaing Mai. This was approx. 6 weeks ago. I think this worked out to some 104 euro's.

I hope this helps.

May be he should tell his big boss, that when his trips abroard are funded by the Thai people then he should not involve any other buisness in the government meetings, i.e., Shin Corps buisness. This would be a good start.

Anyone interested in old soul music could do a lot worse than listen to the Radio Stoke program that goes out every friday night at 19:00 UK time, it can be found here:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/music/northerns....shtml?focuswin

The following link will get you to the soul deep page:-

At the moment I am using a GC83 EDGE/GPRS PC card from Sony Ericsson with my Laptop. I got sick of the 1222 number continually in use and then the other ISP's dropping out continually. I managed to get a contract with DTAC, the girlfriend sorted it out for me. The system workd well, a little slowere than the ADSL on daughters desktop but about the same or fatser than the dial up and much more reliable. The GC83 pc card cost 6000 Bt.

Snoophound beat me to the punch re: thai children now getting much chubbier. There are also quite a few adults that are wearing xxxl gear. Are these Thai's also subject to such comments from their own country men/women, or is it just falangs that are spoken to in such a way?

  “There’ll be Blue Bells Over the White Cliffs of Dover” Vera L.

Okay then, I give up, what happened to the Blue Birds?

A few of the more obscure soul sounds:-

Slippin around Art Freeman

Strange Change Herb Ward

Dust my Broom Ike and Tina Turner

Baby Don't you weep Edward Hamilton.

I'm gone Eddie Parker

Stick by me Baby The Salvadores

If you ever walked out of my life Dena Barnes

A little Lovin sometimes Alexander Patten

Cause your mine The Vibrations

Just Lovin You Ruby Andrews

Any blue eyed soul list would, IMHO, have to include Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Dusty Springfield, Evie Sands, Bobby Parris, Dean Parish (both the last 2 are Puerto Rican rather than caucasian), and possibly Paul Young.

If you get chance to watch the made for television movie of the Temptations, do so. Those guys could teach most rock groups about bad behavour. Though the movie did not touch on the acquisation that David Ruffian caused the tumor that killed Tammy Terrill by beating her about the head with a hammer.

Still ain't too proud to beg is one of my all time favourite tracks ever.

Also stayed at the Empress's sister hotel, The Park, further down the same road. Sevice and rooms were good, if I remeber correctly, though this may be a little far out for you.

Alexander Patten A little lovin sometimes

Timi Yuro It'll never be over for me

Duke Browner Crying over you

  Anyone know if the play off final is going to be on anywhere around? Not sure if its even possible to get it in Thailand... :S

I'm kinda assuming my team Preston will make it through and would love to watch them stuffing West Ham in the final...

You may want to check the Television listings as I saw that the first leg of the Preston v DCFC game was televised at 01:45 in the morning. There may be some type of early morning showing again.

Well, I wish your team all the best in the final, from a displaced Derby Co. fan.

As Fred Astaire said:" Dancing is the vertical representation of a horizontal intention"

I used to get into the music at the soul venues in the 70's, albeit amphetamine fuelled. At these places it was expected that people would dance on their own, getting into the music, almost trance like.

Praise the Lord and pass the bombers!!!(black, black and white or just plain old white ones.........thank you Riker of Loghborough).

Could never think of dancing like I used to now, the body would not take it, but still hear sounds that set the foot tapping, after all these years.

In the words of the song,,,,,If it feels good, do it!!

It would have to be "Time will pass you by" Tobi Legend followed by "Picture me Gone" by Evie Sands

Any one who went to the soul all nighters in the 70's will know these.

Try to read between the lines. I think Turok has a really good point here. You can marry a rich girl that will take care of you, financially, instead of you taking care of her. You are probably likely to get some crap from a situation of marrying a poor Thai girl. And even if you would not get crap, you are probably better off marrying rich.

No judgment here. But, women have been doing this for thousands of years. Who would not want to marry rich?

I think that thinking that money is not a factor in a girls decision to be with you is very naive.

Marrying a rich girl:- does that mean having to do as she desires all the time, as she has the purse strings and is used to getting her own way? I'm sure it wears thin having to be at someones beck and call because they have the clout, "money".

Unless you look like Tom Cruise or carry the same size tackle as the last winner of the Derby, your chances of pulling the rich ladies, to which you allude, will be few and far between. Ladies that have money are invariably not into sharing it. They will be looking to someone who can add to the nest egg, not deplete it.

If money is what you guys want why don't you get off your ar#s' and go and earn it, have some pride in yourself be a man not someone poncing of a woman, who will drop you when she wants to move on to pastures new, believe you me.

So come on "Fire" and "Turok" where are all these rich women at, you know the ones going out of their way to throw themselves under you whilst at the same time stuffing the Amex black card in your back pocket?

At least the people who have gone on to marry their Thai girls have had the b#lls to do something concrete with their lives. What have you done, nothing, just spout off about the pipe dream of marrying a rich girl.

And so, back to my original question:--

"Has any one got any web address' for 2nd hand car vendors?"

Any help would be appreciated."

Thank you

Sorry Maka, still at sea in the Bay of Bengal. I hope you tie one on though!!

Cheers.

Has any one got any web address' for 2nd hand car vendors. My laptop hard drive fried with one or two good ones on it, and cannot remember them off the top of my head.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a monthly sum transfered from the Bank of Ireland to the Bangkok Bank in Chiang Mai. I have found that I pay 17 euro's for the honour of having them transfer my money. Saying that though, it is in my Thai account 2 days later. So for me the cost is not an issue as it gets where I want it to be in a timely manner.

When you become a contortionist.
