Dad's Army 2016 - Delightful, very good movie, especially if you're a fan of the original series. True to type and a touch more double entendre than I remembered (watch out for The End). Well worth a watch.

Yes, coincidentally I saw a wee docco on him and his sanctuary, a couple a days ago.

Actually I am surprised that the Authoritah - are taking action. Well done those men!

One blond asked another blond, across the river: ‘How do I get to the other side?’ ‘You’re on the other side’ came the reply.

Triple 9 (2016) - Good movie, cops, crime, corrupt cops, Russians, gangs, well played, believable and young Casey Affleck does a great job, as do the other actors. Well worth a watch. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) - Tommy Lee Jones, acts and directs, off beat movie - worth a watch. If only for January Jones. Laugh Killer Laugh (2015) Moody little movie, abused kid is now a killer, worth a watch. Good.

Now if you could add those moves to the next dance contest

Whilst I'm all for deporting random foreigners for what ever reason, why else would you have the concept of deportation otherwise?, fecal coliforms are not the villain that they're made out to be. You know when your soap manufacturer says it's product kills 99.99% of all bacteria? Of the billions on your hands, that's still quite a lot left and some of those will be fecal coliforms. There are something like 2 Kg of bacteria in your gut, some people have theirs washed out and replaced by a sample from a healthy person. This improves their health somewhat, I am told. I reckon it's essential that you get bacteria in your diet to bolster the zoo that's in ya. If you were to have none, and not encounter any in your day to day life, when you did chance across some, you'd be unprepared and probably die if they were nasty ones. But then again, if the OJ you've just bought from a dodgy looking Viet guy smells like shit, perhaps don't consume it...

I reckon that police across Thailand will be worried, worried at the complexity of this evidence stuff. One, because they will think that in the future they will have to understand all of this kind of thing, when they're doing an investigation. And two, because it seems to remove the "I said it so it is true" modus operandi for the police.

Lost me at pages 4 and 5, too much math looking stuff. My interest is in whether or not Ai keeps us around as pets. Sci Fi has often become factual over the years as many will know.

By way of comparison, a goos quality Steakhouse in central Auckland NZ, with massive steaks, entrees etc is half that price. Booze not factored in though.

I've had a few issues in the past when using google search, if I stumped up in Thailand, the google search sometimes appeared in Thai, as it assumed that if I was in Thailand, I was brimming with Thainess and wanting to get on with it. But that was only google. The rest of my system (Mac) stayed true. May I make the temeritous suggestion that along with attempting to force Win 10 on youse, Microsoft has fallen into the trap of assuming your language? Who knows, you might get ladies advertisements. Or is it just Facebook?

I've seen this kind of privilege in Laos, it is ugly.

Yes it's working - but no new content for a long time.

Red Bull Heir Fails to Appear, Again. Given Another Chance, Again. Vorayuth Yoovidhya was arrested at his family home in Bangkok on Sept. 3, 2012. He would later flee to Singapore. By Sasiwan Mokkhasen Staff Reporter BANGKOK — A deadline passed at 4pm today for Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss†Yoovidhya to meet with prosecutors four years after he killed a Thonglor cop, but the 31-year-old fugitive will be given yet another chance before a warrant is sought for his arrest. Prosecutor Suthi Kittisupaporn said Vorayuth’s failure to appear Wednesday afternoon without providing a reason will be met with a second request for Thonglor police, who are responsible for the case, to summon him. He was ordered to appear Wednesday in regard to a charge of reckless driving from when Vorayuth killed Sgt. Maj. Wichian Klanprasert with his Ferrari at high speed before fleeing the scene to hide at his nearby family home in 2012. After an initial surge of public interest and vows Vorayuth would be prosecuted, the case petered out in 2014 and was effectively dropped for nearly two years. It returned to public and media interest again in March when wealthy businessman Jenphop Veeraporn killed two students, providing yet another example of a dual-track justice system in which the wealthy and well-connected avoid punishment. Should Vorayuth fail to report in person in the next 30 days without a valid excuse, then authorities said they will seek a warrant for his arrest. Authorities made no mention of his whereabouts. Although Vorayuth has kept a low profile, a number of sightings in Bangkok have been reported over the years. There has been no warrant for his arrest. It’s not the first time the grandson of billionaire Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya failed to appear. He didn’t show up a number of times in 2013 before eventually absconding to Singapore. His family said he was ill. Two previous misdemeanor charges filed against him – speeding and property damage – already expired. A charge of not reporting the incident to police will expire next year. The most serious charge – reckless driving resulting in death – won’t expire until 2027. Suthi said the Vorayuth’s lawyer could ask prosecutors to postpone the legal process but only by citing a demonstrably serious reason such as an imminent, emergency medical procedure. Meanwhile Sgt. Maj. Wichian’s family, who privately settled with the Yoovidhyas for 3 million baht, recently filed a letter asking prosecutors to consider further charges against Vorayuth, Suthi said. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1464175917

I will admit to not knowing, how the various story lines, of the various movies in this franchise, link together.

Or a better one, as detailed in the James Michener treatise on SEA, in the Thailand Section. Back then (1950s) the main Post Office in Bangkok, Thailand was a grandiose affair with many boxes in which to mail letters, one for the Americas, one for Europe, one for Africa, etc etc. So people would mail their letters, in the appropriate slot. Every day a little old man would come at 5pm and empty the boxes into - one big bag on one small cart. This would be funny if it didn't reference the deaths of 17 girls.

Story I heard about flooding in North East Thailand a few years ago: Manager has key to pump house that has pump that pumps when water too high. This pump prevents flooding. Manager goes away for weekend to next town. Manager has cellphone. Water rises. Staff cannot open pump house door. Staff do not call manager, as this would indicate that he (manager) did not think to leave key with someone. This would be loss of face for manager. Result = flooding. Now a western culture, woulda called the manager, or broken the lock, or variation on that theme. But this is Thailand. Thainess

Third Person (2013) - A lady's movie. Three interlocking love stories, or, one story told three ways. Some good acting, nice cinematography, held my attention even though I'm not a lady. Worth a watch.
