  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.

Hi NigNoy, if you do a search on Tanaboon you should come up with quite a lot of information, as they were the subject of several postings on here not long ago.

Good luck

It looks as if I missed a backslash from the end, lets try that again:-

CMH

Hopefully that will do the trick.

Thanks for that TP.

  Brilliant Band , some of the best crafted songs from the last 50 years IMO.

Agree with every word you say. I count myself as very fortunate to have seen them perform live. One of my fav. tracks: Sister Madly

R.I.P. Paul, ( I can still see you running around the balconoy in the De Montford hall as if it was yesterday)

Just making some tentative enquiries about property for sale in or close to Mae Rim, especially close to the Four Seasons hotel.

Any help in this direction would be appreciated.

Hi Dr.J. unable to help you on this, but might be worth giving expatmotors a call, as I think they do carry out that work, so should be able to give you a ball park quote.

Hi Waldwolf/Slimdog, thank you both for you answers.

WW: I had a noisy hard drive for about 12-18 months, 2 nights ago there was quite a noticable change to the noise it was generating. I managed to copy some data I need for work to a CD rom. The noise stoped and the screen came up blue with an error message. Stating that an error had been caused possibly by the addition of new hardware, so I was to remove the hardware and its software. The thing was I have not added anything new for quite a while,(several months). I then tried to use the restore cd disks I recieved with the computer. I started the machine and got the Toshiba screen displayed. I then followed the directions on the jacket, to start restoring the system. It looked as if the system went into DOS. Eventually the screen came up and asked did I want to re-format the hard drive,(drastic I know), to which I said Yes. Was I sure? Yes The screen then reverted back to the Toshiba screen, and just kept on repeating the routine, did I want to restore factory settings etc.

So it appears that the factory issued restore CD could not write to the hard disk.

That in addition to the grating noise and the change in the noise it was making immediately prior to the "crash" has led me to make the assumption that the problem was hard disk related.

Any further thoughts gentlemen?

You could puy a tower at each end of the beach, on the hilltops. I'm sure the owners of Bann Rim Pa would not mind their view being spoiled for this good cause.

  Right!!

Stupid government. Think of a way that can make EVERYONE even the man who sleeps in the cave know! And make sure they come in english, cantonese, shanghainese, mandarin, portuguese, german, french, dutch, japanese, korean and the list goes on............!  Cos not everyone speaks thai!!!!!!!!!!!

Some type of Klaxon audio warning system could be the answer, so when it goes off all will hear it and regardless of their nationality will hopefully re-act.

Then again Ole Taksin doesn't own shares in that system, so he will not benefit from it in the same way as using his telephone system would.

I would also like an answer re: my first point, the collapse of the mobile telephone system immediately after the quake, as this is an integral part of his plan to get the warning "out there", whether it be in thai or in any other language.

Is your government going to address this issue or just blindly follow the Leader as appears to be the norm!

You were right "stupid government" if they are going to set up a system let them think things through properly, with thoughts to getting the message across to all to minimise the loss of life to all nationalities, after all it was not just Thai's that died in Phuket, Phi-Phi etc.

I have a Toshiba Notebook, 3yrs old, but still very good. Until today everything worked fine, but now it would appear that the hard drive has thrown its hand in.

I have tried to reload the factiory settings from the oribinal CD's but to no avail.

So I am thinking of taking it in to the Toshiba building in Bkk. I have a few questions.

A) Has anyone used this facility for repairs?

If so how was the service?

C) How expensive are they?

I am located in Chiang Mai, so if there is anyone that can be recommended in CM to do a decent job please let me know.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Just how many tourists bother to bring their mobile with them, and for those that do how will their telephones get triggered when the alarm goes out,(in Thai of course). Could this be another little flaw in the system?

But I think that the communications system must still be improved, as the local mobile phone networks collapsed altogether shortly after the quake.

Please take note of this Mr Thaksin, it might be a bit of a major flaw in the developement plan for your early warning system.

I try to do my bit in the Kitchen, my g/f appreciates it, we also barbecue etc. and we all join in. G/f, her daughter, son and myself, a kind of communal thing. Sometimes I get it into my head and cook on my own, knowing that they like spag. with a nice garlic and basil sauce, along with roasted belly pork and garlic bread, or salmon steaks lightly coated with cornflower then pan fried. Things like that, just simple but tasty.

There was a brief piece about the trial on the ABC Asia Pacific News today. There were a few words from the Father of the young lady that was murdered.

It cut away to POS running through the court hallway so as not to be caught on the television camera. By all accounts he is now saying that it was not him, that it is a case of mistaken identity!!
