Thatchers Dead Fergie Retires There is some cunt on Merseyside rubbing a lamp with one wish left!

Margaret Thatcher dies and strolls up the pearly staircase to the pearly gates, where she is confronted by St. Peter, brandishing a clipboard. "Name," says St. Peter. "Margaret Thatcher," she replies. St. Peter checks through all the lists on his clipboard but cannot find the name of the former British leader. "I am sorry," he says, "you cannot come in. Your place is downstairs, in Hell. Mrs. Thatcher turns and walks down the stairs. A short time later the phone rings. St. Peter answers, and a voice says, "Hello Peter, it is the Devil speaking. You will have to take that bloody woman after all - she is only been here for ten minutes and she has closed half the furnaces to reduce capacity."

Neil Young from his Mirrorball Album, some critics say it was his best work. His backing band were Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Jack Irons and Mike McReady, to the knowledgable Board Members you may recognise Pearl Jam without Eddie. I didn't get to see this actual show in Caesarea Israel, I was working in Saudi at the time so visa's were a problem, but I did see it in Egypt one has to have the occasional weekend away before going sand crazy. Mr Gobbie, even you will like this I bet

Peter Scott aka "The Gentleman Thief" Peter Scott, a prolific cat burglar who identified himself as a modern Robin Hood, has died aged 82. Living on benefits in a council flat in Islington, North London, his final days were a far cry from his lifetime devoted to stealing millions from the rich and famous. Among his victims, none of whom he held in high esteem, were such stars as Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Lauren Bacall, and the gambling club and zoo owner John Aspinall, of whom he recalled: 'Robbing that bastard Aspinall was one of my favourites,' according to the Telegraph. In total, by Scott's own reckoning, he stole jewels, furs and artworks worth more than £30 million. One of his most 'successful' jobs was stealing a £200,000 necklace from Sophia Loren, whom he described as having 'got what she deserved' when she was in Britain filming The Millionaires in 1960. Fleet Street at the time said it was the biggest jewellery robbery ever in Britain; it earned Scott £30,000 from a 'fence' according to the Telegraph. From an early age, Scott was destined for an exciting life of crime. At first he alluded capture but eventually his illicit actions caught up with him and he spent numerous years behind bars. Born on February 18, 1931, in Belfast, to a middle-class military family in Belfast, Peter Craig Gulston's father died when he was young and his mother emigrated to the US. A bright young boy, Peter was however trouble. He went to Belfast Royal Academy, but was inept at exams; instead he managed to swindle away the entirety of his father's inheritance. As a teenager he turned to crime, burgling the posh homes in Malone Road in his school scarf and filling his rugby bag. According to his memoirs, Scott claims he got away with 150 such crimes before police eventually caught up with him in 1952, but he still got away with just six months in Crumlin Road jail, after only being charged with 12 jobs. Once free, he changed his name to Scott and moved to London and like a moth to a flame, found himself wandering the streets of Mayfair and Belgravia, planning his next jobs. He began working as a pub bouncer and at night, would creep into the homes of London's richest. Taking his burgling career seriously, he carefully planned every raid, wearing a new suit for each burglary to blend in, if caught. On numerous occasions he was interrupted once inside, but with a reassuring call of, 'It's only me,' or 'Everything's alright, madam,' his appearance and demeanor meant he got away with his crimes. In the 1950s and 1960s, Scott would select his targets by going through the Daily Mail or the Daily Express. He even decided to join a swanky London tennis club to mingle with the wealthy, coaching more 'rich prats' who would likely become his victims. Even up until the 1980s Scott continued to climb up drainpipes and enter buildings through skilled and stealthy means. By the mid-1990s, Scott had served 12 years inside over the course of half a dozen different stretches. He was jailed for another three years in 1998 following the theft of Picasso's Tete de Femme from Lefevre Gallery in Mayfair the previous year. In his memoirs, Gentleman Thief (1995) he described his victims as 'upper class prats chattering in monosyllables'. He wrote: 'The people I burgled got rich through greed and skullduggery. They indulged in the mechanics of ostentation - they deserved me and I deserved them. If I rob Ivana Trump, it is just a meeting of two different types of degeneracy on a dark rooftop.' He lived his heyday flashing his cash on luxury cars and fast women. His glamorous girlfriends included the model Jackie Bowyer - the second of his four wives. Scott, however, ended up broke and was declared bankrupt owing creditors £440,000. A son survives him.

But considering the Thai for Crab is "POO" maybe they used Google online translation services

In the Name of the father http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107207/?ref_=sr_1 Seen it many times but still worth watching. The true story of Gerry Conlon a young man from Belfast who moved to the UK in the early 70's and was wrongly accused of the Guilford Bombings and his 15 fight for Justice, a true moving story and you wonder why the Irish still hate the English now and again. Well worth a look even if you don't care about UK Politics, it was civil war back then.

Go to fourth floor of MBK every other stall seems to repair smart devices and do screen replacements, I found "Friends Phone" at North East corner to be proftesional and reasonably priced I will PVT you later give me a call when In town

Go to settings/iCloud and tap delete account. This only deletes the iCloud from your iPhone. It will give the option to save iCloud Contacts and Calendar on the iPhone. You can then login to iCloud using another email id or create a new .me email account.

Separate accounts for iCloud and App Store are stupid IMHO, I use the same for both but if the option was not available there would be even more complaints about Apples "Walled Garden" I must admit that if you are using multiple iDevices then one does need to take care over account names in order to stop these type of fuck ups. I have an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad 3 iPhone 4S and my renovated 3GS, the wife has my Macbook Air, iPad Mini and an iPhone 4S and they are all linked to the Time Capsule. I have my own username password for my devices and she has hers for her own. Using iTunes you have the option of restoring from iCloud or from Computer, as long as the phone name and serial number is correct a Manual Restore Back up should recover your wifes contact list from the computer as well as SMS and emails, I know this works with Apple not sure how it works with Windows. The information will be backed up on your wifes PC but probably not in contacts. Do a search on known names / numbers then copy the root directory into contacts then import to iTunes. Data is never lost it is just sometimes well hidden. Good Luck and if you fail in your endeavours lets just hope she does not throw the phone at you !

It sounds like your wife Synched her iPhone 5 to iTunes using the old 4S info, iTunes will show the phone serial number. With OSX / iCloud / Time capsule it is simple to recover but to be honest I am not sure how to go about it with windows. There will be a version of iTunes linked to the iPhone 5 but not being a windows person I could not tell you where to look for it.

I am begining to wonder if this is a Thai trait, Thai women in my experience always throw things in a fit of temper. All I did was reformat the phone and she thought that I had lost all of her data hence her hissy fit, within 10 minutes of getting the repaired phone home everything was back in place from my Time Capsule. Honestly on some occasions I don't believe that Thai females have the brains they were born with, on the plus side she admitted she was wrong and paid for the repairs. DOH did she not think I have a back up of everything.

Are you on UK or BKK? Loads of places in MBK do screen replacement for a reasonable price not that I have dropped mine too often and cracked the screen. I did have an old 3GS repaired last week, (she threw it at me in a temper fit) Home button, Power Button and a new Battery, 1,500 Baht and one hour later I walked out with a new phone.

IMHO the original wine Connection was / is in Silon district whiin the parking lot behind coyotes, Starrtbucks and Molly Malones on Soi Convent. it has been there for well over 10 years now.

Huumlaar Same as you mate, I have heard and used the phrase for over 20 years now knowing the meaning of it but not the literal translation, up until a few days ago.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Seen it more than a dozen times but it still cracks me up Guy Richie's best, who the hell can cast Vinny Jones (an ex UK Football Hardman) with the lines "He beat him to death with a rubber dildo" In typical Richie fashion the movie hops from scene to scene but the continuity is via the soundtrack which for this movie he chose 100 Mile City by Ocean Colour Scene, anyone who listens to this without remembering the movie is a liar. (unless you are unfortunate enough to have never seen the movie) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yxp3D7NJ04

Well, it was bound to happen one day and today it did, the ex and I crossed paths, I live in Sathorn District of Bangkok and she works in the same area so it was inevitable, surprised it did not happen sooner to be honest. I was out for dinner with my Lady Friend (Girlfriend sounds stupid when closing on fast at 50) and her brothers, enjoying a family dinner and she walked into the same place, to make matters worse the only free table was next to mine, I bit my tongue and enjoyed my own company until the Check Bin landed, it was 995 THB and I made the snide remark, "Only 999,999 meals to go from what you paid me thank you and "she flipped", OK I did ask for it maybe . She grabbed my Glass, calling me a drunken bum thinking I was drinking Vodka, it was only water, I grabbed her arm and in the ensuing scuffle the liquid ended up in her face and I said "Som Naam Na", she went bright red and stomped off. My Lady Friends younger Brother and the ex's friend who hung around were literally pissing themselves laughing and I was like "Why What is so Funny" and between giggles I heard Som Naam Na. Now I have been using the phrase for over two decades now without understanding the literal translation Naam = Water Na = Face but I never understood the Som Part, To me Som = Orange (as in Naam som orange juice) so Som naam did not make sense to me but in the full context until it was explained to me last night (and why people laughing) Som ® is Orange but Som(f) is Deserve so the Thai phrase Som Naam Na literally translates to "You Deserve Water in Your Face" and the stupid ex through water in her own face, then I got the joke

Munchie, I am not sure about the Scandinavian countries but Ireland is hurting now. When the "Celtic Tiger" was at it's peak Ireland they attracted a lot of foreign investment by having low corporation tax for manufacturing industries (Intel is still building new Silicon Chip Fabrication Plants in Leixlip) and Service industries supporting "Hi-Tech" and zero tax on the movie industry. I remember when "Support Lines" were all hosted in Ireland before being off-shored to India but still the likes of Apple and Google operate there due to lower tax rates. Even the movie Braveheart was filmed mostly in Ireland. Scotland, like the rest of the UK has lost the majority of its manufacturing industry, along the Clyde alone all of the Shipyards have now disappeared along with the likes of Hastie's & Kincaid's, Howdens, Rankin & Blackmore, Rowens, and Weir's all major employers until the past 20 years but alas no more and that is just along the Clyde, sad state of affairs when the UK, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution has now become reliant on Service Industries. Another issue is that Scotland may loose its Triple A Credit rating if it was to leave the UK and as such would not be able to compete with the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man in the "Offshore Finance" Sector, best not to mention RBS. Depending who one listens too / reads some reckon that Scotland's account Surplus would increase (including Oil & Gas Revenues at todays income) where many think it may decrease by 5% or more. The topic does not concern me one way or the other but the cynic in me cannot help but question why the UK are allowing this vote now just as income from the North Sea is on the decline, could it be that the rest of the UK would be better off if Scotland voted YES? It's a rather interesting topic and if it was to effect me I would do a lot more research into the subject and vote with my head rather than my heart.
