[Jai Dee]

You left off "knob polishing hub"...

[steveromagnino]

I think you have missed the whole point of this.

There are two types of title for anything the govt does:

1. Hubs

e.g. we will be an automotive hub

2. The XYQ of the YZX

e.g. The food basket of the world

e.g. The Detroit of Asia

e.g. The Merkin of the Gerkin

This is what all good MBA types learn; use invented language enough and you can shape the way people think; you can also drive other people nuts and sound like a consultant prat.

MICE Hub ?????????

[skylar]

MICE Hub ?????????

Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions. Not the furry kind

[astral]

The country used to be known as Land of smiles, LOS,

now it is LOH.

MICE Hub ?????????

Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions. Not the furry kind

The furry kind too.

They invade my house from time to time.

[steveromagnino]

The land of hubs.

The land of the hubs.

That meets both the hubs paradigm and the XYZ of the ZYX paradigm.

This is akin to crossing the streams. It could be bad.

MICE actually, that one is quite relevant to aim to be the hub of MICE.

i like the idea of being the Hub CAP (conventions, assocations, presentations)

or maybe we can become the HuB A dUB dub (asssocations, departments, unions, banquets, declarations, unknown, barium)

or the Hub of RATCOCK (restaurants, assocations, trade, communities, organisations, conventions, knowledge)

or my own favourite, the Hub o' 9 Tails.

Up to you as they say.

p.s. for really sounding like an MBA ######, try converting every noun in business to a verb. I am going to balance sheet the accounts so we understand where we stand for this week's P&L. It is important to asset our HR to warehouse our competitive advantage.

Let's financial that.

Let's offline that discussion.

let's Discussion that offline.

etc

And see how long it takes before yo' clients start da same. Great fun.

[robitusson]

Hub-a-dub-dub.

[Pattayaman]

The hub of corruption for sure

[frodo]

Lest we forget the newest hub...computer animation!

Thaksin to promote Thailand as hub for computer animation

[opothai]

the hubs that exist are

hub of corruption

hub of stray dogs

hub of making up hubs

hub of ignorence

hub of yet to be erradicated poverty

hub of yet to happen hubs

any one thinkof a hub that is complimentary to our hub maker

[sriracha john]

Hub of crackdowns

[raro]

Hub of crackdowns

I just wanted to say that! Don't forget the crackdowns! Thailand has so much more to offer than just hubs, hubs, hubs!

[Ricardo]

MICE Hub ?????????

Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions. Not the furry kind

Khun wifey calls all those furry rodents rats ,and claims mice are just baby ones, sweeet

[phuketsiam]

hub of hubs, have we had that one yet?

[sriracha john]

What's wrong with a country wanting to be the hub of hubs? It's a lot better than just not caring or trying to keep things as they are.

hub of hubs, have we had that one yet?

sorry, but thaibebop got that one in almost a year ago...

Thaksin should announce a 'crackdown on Hubs'

Hub of crackdowns

CRIMINY!!...... even mine was too.

As the the topic title points out, there's been "soo soo many" hubs for so long a time now, we've run out of new material...

makes me envious of the government's ability to not run out of material for declaring something the new hub of.

the government has us beat on this point......

Hub of Illegal Steroid Smuggling

Steroids 'disguised as biscuits'

From: AAP

January 17, 2006

A WOMAN is due to face court in Brisbane later this week after Customs officers allegedly found a large shipment of performance-enhancing drugs in biscuit packets.

About 19,000 steroid tablets were discovered after an operation that began on January 10 when Australian Customs Service officers at a Sydney mail centre chose a package from Thailand for random examination.

The package was addressed to Queensland and contained chips, noodles and biscuit packets.

But X-rays and a closer inspection of the biscuit packets revealed foil bags containing 12,000 steroid tablets.

Customs investigators arrested a 37-year-old woman in the inner-western Brisbane suburb of Ashgrove last Friday.

They also searched a car and an apartment in Wynnum on Brisbane's bayside.

During the searches, investigators allegedly found another 7000 steroid tablets, a 100ml bottle of liquid and 37 glass vials containing a liquid which have yet to be identified.

The woman has been charged with importing prohibited imports and was bailed to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on January 20.

Australian Customs said that in Australia, performance and image-enhancing drugs could only be imported with previous permission from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The maximum penalty for importing performance-enhancing drugs of this type is up to five years in jail and/or a $110,000 fine.

Thailand missed the boat on that one
