Hmmm, 7 Cs and 3 Bs... Cheers, SD

Everyone needs a windmill to battle, I guess. I'm with Dumsoda tho': anyone with half a brain knows that a retail shop does NOT sell things for less than market value. ESPECIALLY commodity market items like gems. Does that make the conmen innocent as BuBi suggests? Of course not. Don't be stupid. But use your brain people -- your head has a higher purpose than just for use as a hatrack, as me ol' pappy used to say. As for TAT being involved. Highly doubtful. More like apathy. Regards, SD

Ron Morris has been covering this for years: http://2bangkok.com/2bangkok/Scams/Sapphire.shtml Cheers, SD

murder? probably you are mixing this up! Chuwit is responsible that we have now at least one nice and beautyful park instead of more seedy and ugly bar shacks in lower Suk! i will give him the vote for next PM! Gotta say I am with Samak on this. The bar owners were leasing from second and third level sub-leasers who may or may not have had the right to sub-lease the land. The bar owners were told many times to leave. They didn't. The owner wanted his land back, so he took it. I mean, if you own a house, and some squatters are there, wouldn't you evict them too?

Oh man...just wait until Josh_Ingu sees how this thread has turned! Cheers, SD -- ducking for cover, but watching in anticipation

Geez, OH, relax. Had it not been presented as fact, it would not be funny, would it? I enjoyed it. Cheers, SD -- crushed to find out the talking duck is fake

Do you know how copper wire was invented? Two Scotsmen fighting over a penny! Cheers, SD

I looked into this. There are two issues. The biggest is that you muct watch what the person (if ther is one) at the home base is watching. It does not pull an independent feed off the cable box, just what is going out the output, so to speak. Easily overcome buy getting a seperate cable box for just the Slingbox. But that adds cost. Number two is the quality of the internet connection and therefore the quality of your picture here in LoS. This is an unknown quantity. Cheers, SD

So then, ya made it out of Ubezbekistan OK? I assume that they just deported you with no jail time? But what do I tell Ishkabibble? I just wish that you did not give her my mo-by number as contact info in LoS!!!!!!! However, I still cannot say that you owe me, what with your expert handling of the crazed Tierra Fuego lass that wanted to cut my nuts off and all...but it IS getting close to full payback. Still, my Burkina Faso language skills are a bit limited and I am in trouble here. Ishkabibble does understand my Upper Voltan, but not 100%! Her English is crap, tho'! Inquiring, SD
