Anita Ekberg at the age of 83, for sure not the best Swedish actress of all times but in possesion of one of the best racks.

I was in Saigon/HMC 1992 and most people were very friendly. Sure some people in the tourist trade were on the make. To be fair, which tourist area in the world doesns't this happen. I supose that comming from a country that supported Vietnam in their struggle So the bottom line is: The Vietnamese people are very nice.

A friend came back from Pattaya a couple of weeks ago. He said that he has never seen the place sp empty.This is a bloke that has been going there for 30+ years.

If you were in Stockholm you would see considerably more beggars on the streets of Stockholm than you would in Bangkok, and very few of thwm are Swedes. Pretty bloody pathetic in my opinion. This does not mean that I condone criminal acts towards the beggars.

P.S. Sjöbo has 6724 inhabitants (according to the Wiki) and is more of a village than a town.

November man. A quite OK spy thriller.

Deliver us from evil.

Even though I don't belive in fairytales about demons and excorsism I find this kind of movies entertaining. As always with American thriller and action movies it is very well done and the actors are good. The plot is both consitent and exciting.

Good news indeed. I won't arrive until well after new year so let's hope that it will drop even more.

Maybe the world would be a safer place if it was run by women

It would have to be peace loving women like Golda Meir and Indira Gandhi. :neener: :grinyes:

Copyright infringement should be a civil matter, not criminal. Unfortunately the pigopolists make the rules.

Recently in the newspaper DN (Swedish akronym for Daily News) there is an article that says that most hacking related crimes never reach the courts of law due to lack of competence in Swedish police. High profile cases like that vs. the founders of Pirate Bay not only reach the courts but the chain of proof is very well documented. Does anyone think that big money in the background didn't have anything to do with this.

P.S. They don't make the rules, the interprete them. In Swedish this is called "rättspraxis".

It certainly wasn't in the 1970s and '80s.

I was in Pattaya for the first time in 1982 and I would say that there was plenty of girls then and it was much cheaper too.

I don't really care what people believe. Best way to start an argument is to start talking religion.

If that doesn't work youcould always start talking about politics.

I have no idea how it all started, but the idea that nothing created everything is simply too far out for me. Maybe the Buddhists are right and the universe simply has aways existed in one form or another.

A singularity isn't the same as nothing, it just doesn't have mass or volume but it does have infinite energy. The buddhists could be right. The singularity could be the universe in a different form than it is today.

Is it just me or are airline prices good at the moment ? I`m paying less now for London-BKK than 7-8 yrs ago

Not just you. I can find tickets today that are cheaper than my first flight 32 years ago.

I presume you mean the guy in Perth,

 

At least that is the version I heard about it.

I did indeed mean the bloke from Perth. As I recall it he was posting piictures of bar ladies (mostly nude) on his own board. After he posted pictures of a bar lady that apparently had married one of the wankers on the board (we both know which) the board members started to threaten him. Instead of requesting him to take down the aforementioned pictures they started to issue threats which included death threats. I believe that this was the point in time when he started attacking that specific board. I never heard that he caused trouble for all the night life boards.

In difference to you I was not a member of the board at this time. Furthermore I have never been a member of the cliques that control any of the night life boards and have therefore not heard the same stories that you have. That said their credabillity rating must be one of the lowest ever. Some of them obviously thrive on putting other people down, or trying to, and causing serious peoblems for others so they can make jokes about taking the piss.

Mind you I'm not saying that you are lying but I believe that you are conveying information from people who lack any kind of credabillity.

Would this have been just after nanapong members had issued death threats towards a bloke that didn' kiss their arse.

Momondo has served me well.

Hi,

 

POV-ray on a 486. That brings back memories

 

Doing raytracing the hard way, no graphical interface, all code and waiting minutes (or even hours) for even a quick test run to see if you placed an object in the right place.

 

Sanuk!

When I worked at a technical university in 80:s a collegue wrote a program torender the famous Utah teapot. It ran on a Sun workstation with a 68020 CPU. The rendering took about 50 minutes.

You don't see a lot of terrorism in Sweden and they have admitted thousands and thousands of Muslim refugees.

There was an atempt a while back. A bomb went of in downtown Stockholm but nobody was hurt.

I'm currently re-reading the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. It is a non-fiction book that debunks religion. It would be a great help to anybody who has lost their faith and is thinking about coming out as an atheist.

That one is high on my list of "to read" even though I have been a convinced atheist for many years. Another on that I can recomend is "End of faith" by Sam Harris.

Boys of af abu ghraib.

Although a movie and not a documentary it kindles some thoughts about who is fighting for human rights.

....and when there is no "real stuff"???

 

...and the prices are no cheap as they have a captive market!

 

Maybe they advertise, this facility has NO ACCOMODATIONS, if you should need them!! our internet SUCKS...etc etc

 

...your reply is typical as for one from the continent, IMO.

The solution is very simple, don't go to Europe.

Rik Mayall, 56. Just heard on the BBC news, RIP you funny b'stard.

Sad to hear. He was one of my favourite Brittish comedians. I remember his apearance in Black Adder goes forth where he tells captain Blackadder - "I'm so sexy, I can give a comode multiple orgasms just by sitting on it.

When hotmail came out all those years ago I had a look at it and decided against it. Eudora was my preference. Nothing Microsoft has done since has cause me to consider any MS product, except where business requirements were inflexible.

Eudora changed name to Lycos quit a few years ago and is still much better than Hotmail. I still use it for serious emails.

Compared to 11 or 12 years ago, Nanaplaza was an ok place. Now with the prices going through the roof, and having to be sure what exactly I'm looking at on stage, I keep my visits there at a minimum. At least in Pattaya, you can move about pretty quickly and find something to your liking without having to spend a fortune

I was there in March and on the bright side , more bars were showing than a couple of months ago. Som even had full frontal nudity on display. As you pointed out the rices are ridiculous so I only make very short trips to Bkk or stay away completely.

Prices are on the rise in Pattaya as well but it is still much cheaper than Bkk. Furthermore the nightlife in Bkk doesn't hold a prayer to Pattaya.
