Kidnapping Mr Heineken 2015 - very good, yes it is Mr Heineken of the beer Heineken, supposedly based on true events, well done and worth a watch.

"The monk is now being guarded at the National Centre of Forensic Expertise at Ulaanbaatar." in case he wakes up and legs it...

Ahh I see

In history, when you get large number of people all lined up and spaced equidistantly, usually, bad things happen.

I googled Zain Malik and discovered he was a manufactured plastic talent on the bubble pop music froth, Why are we devoting time to this, desist!

Just another example of foreigners and foreign organisations not understanding and respecting Thainess.

On the one hand, people such as Margot Wallström, may well be, undeniably correct in their accusations. And for the most part I feel bound to agree with them. That she is a Foreign Minister, in the Swedish Government, to me means, she carries some weight. On the other hand, in this modern world, you have to keep your oil merchant happy.

What's this บางà¸à¸­à¸à¸¡à¸´à¸ªà¸‹à¸µà¹ˆ mean then?

Give us another 15 years or so, we'll nearly win again

Ahh yes, you need some small victories, for Aus to beat a NZ Cricket team, well it's not hard is it, bit like beating the Easter Island Cricket team. :beer:

Who is Lauren?

Ahh I see, secondly, see my post in the Sportsalooza

See my Cricket post in Sportsarama

Sledging a batsman as he leaves the field. If Cricket were Cricket, then I'd probably be a fan.

Me, I care deeply

As one who has never followed Cricket, except when the Fa'afafine play in the various Polynesian festivals in Auckland, I feel bound to comment on NZ's recent involvement in the Cricket World Cup. I've always thought that NZ cricket was for the effete, and back in the day, when Marketing Geniuses decided to give everyone in the NZ cricket team a wanky nickname, my suspicions became more grounded. For those that do not understand cricket, simply put, there are many things that can affect the outcome of the game that have no bearing on the skill of the players involved. Weather, can shorten the game. One captain can decide to stop playing, allowing the other team to win. And so on. But this Cricket World Cup was a one day match affair, in which opposing teams had 50 (I think) overs (6 balls bowled to a batsman) each to get as many runs as possible to garner a win. Now NZ has traditionally not won much, occasionally having a good day, wherein the local media perk up a bit, before the next loss. So when NZ started winning in this Cricket World Cup, the media not only woke up, but started paying attention, and when NZ wound up facing Australia in the final, the press in NZ were ecstatic. The prematch coverage by the NZ media was heightened to such an effusive level, you could be forgiven for thinking that the journalists (I use this term mockingly) had been given lifetime, free memberships, to the local, beer and happy ending, massage parlour. Needless to say, NZ lost. And to confirm my understanding of the effete nature of this 'Cricket' undertaking, herein some observations. 1/. When South Africa were beaten, the hirsute, masculine, athletic South African team, to a man, dropped to the ground, collapsing like 12 year old girls, most were in tears. An emotional moment for sure, but men? 2/. Cricket is supposed to have a behaviour code that allows participants to be viewed as Gentlemen, herein the phrase of something 'not being Cricket'. Most teams, but evidenced by the Aussies and South Africans as exemplars of the 'Sledge' which is a code word for verbal abuse. Really vile abuse on the field, completely infantile and contrary to the 'Gentlemanly' aura the sport cultivates. Even in winning, as the players walked off the field, Aussie players were seen to be delivering abuse to the losers, one abuser being restrained by his team mates. There you go, rant over, I'll be quiet now until NZ nearly win in a decade or two...

As one who doesn't read or supeak Thai to any level that's useful: 1/. where is this? it'll be open again by now... 2/. I find it interesting that the service providers are more Tatooed than the Punters, the reverse of what it was in the past. 3/. Lots of died hair, why?

Yes

Well, for me, as a simple user who decries Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the other myriad of 'services' that sell your email address to anyone with a dollar, I find that Gmail does the best job of auto deleting junk mail, I've only ever found one email in the junk that shouldn't be there. So I just let Gmail do it's thing. As to how long can this go on? Infinity at present, though more accurately, unless Gmail changes their policy, until you die and your account becomes inactive.

It's code for a little known quantum physics theory, that there is a 'Mabel' boson, the female equivalent of the woman behind the 'Higgs' boson, which itself is still on shaky ground, existentially, so to speak...

Maybe it's on the top of the fence?

I think she is referring to the lighter pixels where there should be none at the border of the arm against the background. Whilst she could be right, these artefacts are common, when a clear cut image is pasted on to another, they are also commonly found, when the sharpening filters in photoshop are used 'too much', specifically the 'sharpen edges' filter, but also others. Another cause of these kind of artefacts is when a photo of low resolution is heavily compressed into a jpeg (joint photographics expert group), the compression software starts averaging the values of the pixels based on too little information (the low resolution) and fudges the output, often with clumps of similar coloured pixels where there were none before. Me, I reckon the backpacking tourists with mini-backpacker, had walked along the motorway (freeway) in a misguided attempt to get somewhere without having to pay anything. Why they would do this is unknown to me, because I have no understanding of backpacking.

"The Japanese ban covers any “change of aviation services,†the Thai civil aviation department said, and also bars airlines from changing the type of aircraft normally used on scheduled routes." I seem to remember the Lao Authorities banning a flight or flights from Thai Airlines because they were swapping types of planes around on a whim.

A different gentleman from Australia and I have eaten the Pork Chop offering there, to satisfying gain. Good it was.
