    Wrong Side

    I'm across to Nong Khao a lot, left hand drive in right hand drive country, takes a little bit of getting used to, but no real issues.
  2. Gold vinyl I think, not real gold.
  3. And just incase you are wondering why, special cars need their special places, in a country accorded "least developed" status, look at this car, we wouldn't want to scratch it now would we? Note the no number plate, we don't need one do we? what for?
  4. Thanks BTW there's so much American metal lying around here, that it's used to make things, like the slimmer bombs are fence posts, dropped fuel tanks become canoes. I even saw a baby cradle made from half a bomb shell, not to mention home made spoons from aluminium that was delivered from the sky. One of the reasons there's so few elephants here anymore, is that they were used extensively in the supply routes, and what do we do with supply routes? Bomb and strafe them. Shame really, the elephants are apolitical.

    South China Sea

    I remember that once, Vikings ruled the known world, so that's every thing. That's why they're my countries!
  6. Specialist, remarkably cogent reply. Also there was a Secret War wherein Laos got the shit bombed out of it. And.....

    South China Sea

    My map says it's my sea. It's next to my countries.
  8. Can get Coke zero in Laos, I imagine that comes from Thailand.
  9. Now that's the Scotland I love. I knew a guy, (no relation to Munchie) who, on his wedding night in NZ, at the reception, had a "What are you looking at?" moment and proceeded to wreck the restaurant. Spent his honeymoon in Jail.

    Happy rice farmers
  11. three finger salute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-finger_salute_(Serbian) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_sign_and_salute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete
  12. And the exception to the rule, I've been in and out of LOS at Nong Khai three times with less than 6 months on the passport but then I have a 1 yr visa in Laos. My initial nervousness has been replaced with a gentle respect for the Immigration people up here, they are reasonable.
  13. "Sheriff Colin Miller also placed Stewart on the Sex Offenders Register for three years." One assumes that one would have to commit an offence to be an offender ? Does Scotland list the varieties of machinery it is an offence to have sex with ? Ironing boards? Coffee machines? Mangles?
  14. Well there's a conspiracy for a start!

    Coup Declared

    Q: Will overnight trains still run under the curfew?
  16. I was saying something like this, specifically about emulsifiers, 20 years ago. Now I have no idea, if the chemicals used to emulsify fat and water in food, survive the digestion process, but if they do, it stands to reason that they'll emulsify fat and water in the body, probably in the cells. Not a scientifically backed opinion, but I've yet to see any research, one way or the other.
  17. I once asked a friend who'd done well at the London School of Economics, what happens to the world when all the gold is dug up, all the coal is used and so on, what happens to the profit model, the one that has everybody making a profit on those lower in the food chain. Her answer was that there's always something new. And if you look at the money being poured into things like Facebook, it's true.
  18. "where by he way is Germanys gold that the FED "may have"" I've been following this separately, it appears that after not being able to get "eyes on" with the gold, German officials have been mollified with assurances and Merkel has gone quiet.
