I don't know about anyone else, but I am filled with a deep sense of foreboding, imagine your best Somchai, driving around with one of these strapped to his moto. An ESSM missile is launched by a U.S. warship. U.S. Navy photo WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency reports Thailand is seeking to procure Evolved Seasparrow Missile systems. Seasparrow is used as a defense against supersonic anti-ship missiles. The agency, which manages the U.S. Foreign Military Sales Program, said Thailand is seeking 16 Evolved Seasparrow missiles, 14 tactical missiles and two telemetry missiles -- plus missile quad pack canisters and shipping containers. Associated equipment, parts and logistics support would also be provided. The proposed FMS deal carries an estimated value of $26.9 million. "Thailand will use the ESSM to provide ship battlespace self-defense and firepower, which will improve its capability to meet current and future naval threats," the agency said in its notification to Congress. The principal contractors for the package would be Raytheon Missile Systems, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and Saab, which would supply Thailand with its S 9LV MK4 combat management system. The U.S. State Department has given approval for the proposed sale. http://www.upi.com/B.../9631446223885/

You haven't seen the wife...

I would have thought you had Pinsaro lined up on a regular basis?

Oldboy 2013 - Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson - Twisted with turns and quite surreal - I liked this - Well worth a watch. There's a 2003 version "Oldeuboi" which appears to be Korean? Much more highly rated and a recipient of awards. I'll watch this next time.

Little Birds 2011 - unmitigated Chick flick for 14 year old, suck face teens. Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter 1974 - the House of Hammer - quite good - worth a watch.

Count me as one who wouldn't fuck her with a bag of dicks. Even when pissed as a newt, I can discern a body with muscle tone and a firmness of breast, that is my desired prey. As a brunette, the blond job she's got is poorly done, her marshmallow is sagging all over and she reminds me of a Camel. That is not to say that she is the grossest of the gross, or other such epithet, but the question is, would one shag her? not how does she rate, and I'd give her a 4 on a scale of 10 where 10 is very desirable.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015 - Surprisingly enjoyable. I never really took to the original TV series, too self congratulatory. This movie, however, was a notch less, in this department. Some humour, set in the early sixties and nicely made, directed by Guy Ritchie. Well worth a watch.

What a fantastic story, I'm ever so glad you've come through it, to tell the tale, keep up the good work.

Even taken at face value, I think it's a stretch to compare a Moroccan female to Chimp or Bonobo females... One of course wonders what sort of accusations, racist and misogynistic and otherwise, I would be subject to, were I to compare a woman to a Bonobo, Chimpanzee or Buffalo. Let alone a Thai woman.

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Migrants-arrest-sparks-concern-30271751.html MIGRANT ORGANISATIONS are pressing the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok to protect the rights of young migrants arrested recently over the murder of a Thai girl. Min Oo, a representative of the Foundation for Education and Development (FED), said there were questions concerning Thai police procedures. Thai police, meanwhile, insist they have found solid evidence against the suspects. "The crime took place on September 28. Police have spent about 30 days tracking down the victim's attackers," Deputy National Police Commissioner Maj-General Chalermkiat Srivorakan said yesterday as he headed to Ranong province, where the brutal murder took place. The girl died of multiple stab wounds. A re-enactment of the crime yesterday drew a crowd of angry locals, many of whom shouted abuse at the suspects. The FED is now in the process of collecting details about the case and sending them to the Myanmar embassy. "The deceased fought her attackers before being killed. The police found clues under her fingernails. They said the clues point to the two suspects and that their DNA matches the evidence. It is questionable that they completed the DNA tests in two days. Did they follow the rules of conducting DNA tests? Are Myanmar workers being exploited?" Min Oo asked. Two migrant workers - Moe Zin Aung and Kyaw Ye Oo - were arrested on October 20 in connection with the murder in Ranong. Some other Myanmar workers were also taken into police custody. Sein Htay, chairman of the Myanmar Migrant Worker Rights Network, raised concerns on the rights of the suspects. "The suspects are underage. The police have not let them see their parents since they were arrested. This is a violation of their human rights," he said. "The Myanmar government needs to talk to the Thai government about it. They have to pressure the Thai government to act in line with law, allow the suspects to meet their parents, let their lawyers see them and use proficient interpreters in the interrogations and in court." Earlier, two Myanmar workers were put on trial for the alleged killing of two British backpackers on Koh Tao. Their lawyers pointed to several problems in the case. The verdict will be heard on December 24.

I resent that, my wrists are in excellent form, due to 40 or more years of vigorous masturbation. Perhaps tunnel vision would be a more apt appellation

Saggy cat belly, spaniel ear tits, I beg to differ, Rt Hon Waerth.

You are forgiven

Sorry, I just got it from their site, didn't read the date

The article doesn't make clear that most of these are overstays, I think.

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Thailand-ranked-8th-most-dangerous-country-top-in--30195715.html Thailand has been ranked No 8 among countries most prone to terrorist attacks mainly due to insurgency in the deep South. According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) covering 158 countries, Thailand is the worst in Southeast Asia and the fifth worst in all Asia. The top four countries in the list are all from Asia - Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India - where terrorist incidents were "heavily concentrated". Thailand ranks top among the Southeast Asian countries, followed by the Philippines (No 10), Indonesia (29), Myanmar (33), Malaysia (90) and Cambodia (101). Laos has not experienced terrorism over the past decade, the report said. While the government played down Thailand's high ranking in terms of terrorism yesterday, opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva expressed concerns that the news would have a negative impact on the country's image. Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said he did not think incidents in the Muslim-majority South could be considered "terrorism" and that it was the media's fault for creating fear among the public. National Security Council secretary-general Lt-General Paradorn Pattanathabutr agreed, saying the degree of violence in the South could not be regarded as "terrorism". Abhisit, however, reiterated that the ranking on the terrorism index was not good for Thailand's image. The GTI systematically ranks and compares 158 countries according to the impact of terrorism, which is measured against four indicators - the number of incidents, deaths, injured and the level of property damage. According to the institute, the 173 violent incidents that took place in the South last year - and left 142 people dead and 427 others injured - could be documented as terrorism.

Any one we know? ------- More than 9,000 foreigners were busted for illegally entering the country - four of them wanted by Interpol - during a weeklong police crackdown that finished Sunday. Police said of the 9,265 foreigners napped, 9038 had been charged with violating the Immigration Act 1979, 18 for violating the Criminal Code and 209 were charged in accordance with other laws. The arrests include Kristina Monka, 23, a Russian wanted by Interpol on fraud charges, was arrested on Wednesday. Grigory Lyaskov, 24, a Russian wanted by Interpol on fraud charges, was arrested along with Kristina. Working as a bank manager in Russia, it is alleged Kristina transferred Bt4 million from a client's account to her secret account and Bt945,000 to Grigory's account. Russian police issued arrest warrants and cancelled their passports and sought Interpol's help in arresting them. Immigration Bureau police arrested them in Pattaya. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Thousands-for-foreigners-charged-for-illegally-ent-30271571.html

Australia defeated Argentina 29-15.

Now it’s official. Thailand’s roads have become the second-deadliest in the world, and that is a record we can hardly be proud of. The figures were released in the 2015 Global Status Report on Road Safety, published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The ranking is based on the number of traffic-related deaths, which totalled 14,059 in 2012. And that translates to a road-death rate of 36.2 people per 100,000, compared to war-torn Libya which came No.1, with 73.4 people per 100,000 dying on its roads. In fact, the WHO questioned the figures which were from the Public Health Ministry. The organisation believes our road fatalities were much higher, at 24,237 deaths in 2012, or some 42% more than stated by the Health Ministry. Whatever the numbers are, they assure us of one fact: All the road safety campaigns conducted by state and non-state agencies over the past few years have been a total failure. One major failure has been the anti-drink driving campaign, and attempts to stem the flow of alcohol by limiting sale times and banning booze sales in areas close to educational establishments. Despite numerous police checkpoints, which have now largely been scrapped due to public complaints, drink driving remains the No.1 cause of traffic-related accidents, many of which are fatal. Another failure has been the campaign for motorists to stop at pedestrian crossings. Police intensified the zebra crossing campaign earlier this year following the death of a TV reporter who was hit by a motorist who jumped a red light at a pedestrian crossing on Asok Road. Pedestrians cross roads at their own risk as motorists simply pretend not to see them. Also gone without any impact is the so-called haa jing (five traffic measures) which was supposed to involve serious efforts by police to punish traffic law violators. This brought no real change to motorists’ behaviour and, sadly, our roads are as dangerous as ever. Following major, fatal accidents, we seem to realise that we lack strong law enforcement, and when the issue fades from public attention, we are back to square one. Nothing is learnt. At the same time, much is blamed on a lack of safety standards, including poor road conditions, due to bad design and substandard construction, as well as dim street lighting which is another cause of accidents. There was an effort to improve road design about a decade ago, initiated by an agency affiliated with the Public Health Ministry, but we have not seen concrete measures to deal with the problem. And we should not forget that dangerous vehicles, in particular double-decker tour buses that caused many deaths in several separate accidents earlier this year, remain a road safety issue. Considering the high number of traffic-related accidents as reported in the media every day, we cannot afford to hope that we can solve the problem. Not now and not in the near future. As the Christmas and New Year holidays approach rapidly we brace for another big road death toll. The festive period is dubbed the body-counting festival because of the high number of accidents and deaths. In tackling the issue, we need to reconsider all the measures, and overhaul them to ensure that they are efficient and effective. Flash-in-the-pan and knee-jerk reactions are useless. They simply lead us nowhere. http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/741376/stop-road-slaughter

All Blacks Rugby World Cup 2015 semifinal against South Africa. All Blacks 20 South Africa 18. Very tense game.

The Connection 2014 - Very good this. Set in Marseilles in the '70s, it takes a while to realise that it wasn't shot in the '70s. At first I thought it may have been shot then, but released in 2014, the look and feel is that accurate, stunningly so. Very good tale in the French Language but with English subtitles for non-French speakers like me. The plot is about the efforts of a Magistrate to bring a Mafia drug organisation to justice. The French end of the French Connection. All done without unrealistic effects. When someone gets shot repeatedly, the body just lies there and twitches with each additional shot, like a sack of meat and bones would, after the initial bullet did the disabling. No fountains of blood here. Good acting, good story. I rate this quite highly, well worth a watch. From IMDB: The must use adjectives are thrilling and mind blowing. Seriously, the motion picture directed and written by Cédric Jimenez was emotionally heavy. The movie was inspired by true events set in the 1970s. It was about a Neapolitan Mafia Boss Tanny Zampa who ran a French extortion gang in Marseille, France. The Kingpin and his mob later exploded into 'The Connection'. It meant heroin purchased from Turkey being flood into New York by the French Mafia. What stood in their way was dedicated detective Pierre Michel who raged bloody war against their money laundering Empire.

Any good?

The Man Who Wasn't There 2001 - Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, Michael Badalucco, James Gandolfini, Katherine Horowitz, Jon Polito, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Jenkins, Tony Shalhoub. Very good, beautifully shot in monochrome. Well worth a watch.
