Aahhh, but then there are the gems. The People's Security Museum, a pythonesque tribute to an early James Bond movie, ask Munchie. Also the Army Museum, surprisingly well done for what it is.

You should visit the Museum in Laos

I agree, it is difficult, but the key is that the beef is substantially cooked already before you put the mushroom duxelle on. Also when the duxelle is being prepared, even though there's wine in it, it's important to evaporate most of the moisture out of it, so it's relatively, but not totally dry. I've not heard of using pancakes as a moisture barrier, but I have heard of Pancetta. I imagine thinly sliced Salami would be interesting.

Oohhh. Shiny.

For what it's worth. All the Thai TV here In Laos has gone. G'ma is fretting as shes's not able to enjoy her daily dose of Red Rhetoric. But why did they shut the movies down ? Still have CNN via Vietnam. Going to Nong Khai tomorrow. That'll be interesting. 4 months on the passport and a coup. Will report if there's anything to say.

Because this whole shit slapping square dance, is because a run away criminal fugitive is still exercising control over a government and a country. Even though he periodically says he isn't and has left politics. Despite his obvious irrelevance, he seems to have enough support to f**k the country. And the Thai nation can't, f**k him back it seems.

So what's Takky's plan B?

In a fairy kingdom not so far from Thailand, the biggest market in the biggest city burnt down. Now in this Kingdom, when construction works take place, they put up a fence of green sheet steel around the site. All the sites everywhere use the same green sheet steel, the contractor must be a relative of someone important, no other kinds of fencing for constructions sites are ever seen. The aforementioned market, burnt down in the evening. There was a green steel construction fence around the considerable area of the ruins, by seven the next morning.

But then what would the country look like with all the unemployed Colonel Major General Captain Sergeant Somchais roaming about unemployed and with only (now) thuggery skills?

Or maybe we are divorced from fantasy land...

IMHO the posting of pictures on Social Media has always been a problem, zillions of feckless morons posting pictures of cats or themselves in the mistaken belief that these are somehow important. The time spent on Social Media is a net loss to Society.

past it into a text edit document first (not Word) and re-copy and paste after that.

After more investigation it seems that there should be no problem, as I'm returning to my own country, but never the less the chances of some airline staff applying a yes/no interpretation to this situation are high, so I'll renew the passport online and attempt to get it delivered. Bloody risky that.

I'm not Dutch but I'm Scum and I'm offended!

Well it's been VTE - BKK - VTE via land crossing with only 5 months on it. Valid visa for Laos in it until 2015, despite it expiring in Sept.

For travel Bkk - Sin - Akl - the passport expires in September. It's a NZ passport. Is the six months validity, a stringent rule, or as the holder is returning to the home country, will most countries allow transit? Any opinions welcome.

unlocked and loaded

I also heard from a Thai, that a son and a daughter are backing different horses in this years race.

I agree with you except they're not all yellow shirts, most of them are pink shirts.

I don't think MS needs anyone's help, MS is quite capable of inflicting pain on the world without resorting to receiving aid.

This aways gets a laugh from Thais, excuse my amateur transliteration - Pom ben puchai burisoot khrap. I think it means - I'm just a little virgin boy. Never fails, though I wouldn't use it in polite company.

Can't get an erection and also premature ejaculation. An interesting problem.

In Los it'd be foreigner's fault

My comments inline below ____ BANGKOK: -- The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) is keen on the seizure of assault rifles on the motor vehicle belonged to a government northern politician and assures to the public that it will pursue the case closely. The assurance was given by Army spokesperson Col Winthai Suwari when he was asked by reporters about the seizure of firearms in a white Mazda parked at the entrance of Juntra resort in Nakhon Nayok province Sunday while police were investigating an unrelated theft complaint filed by a customer. The resort is owned by former government MP Sitthichai Kittithanesuan. Investigation revealed the car belongs to another politician, an adviser to a caretaker minister. Col Winthai said the ISOC of which the army chief is deputy director was very keen on the seizure and assured that the case would be pursued by ISOC closely and would not let it to be forgotten amid report of intense lobbying by politicians to release the case. After all, assault rifles in a politician's car are a right, not a crime, surely. There was report that the military and security authorities have not ruled out the possibility of the weapons being linked to the political unrest. As against shooting rates in a wood pile. Troops attached to the ISOC, who accompanied police during the weapon search, claimed high-ranking police officers and politicians had lobbied the investigation team not to confiscate the car and weapons. Because high-ranking police officers and politicians are not subject to laws, surely. The incident was reported to army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha, who later gave an order not to allow the rifles to be released as the case concerns security. Whereas if they'd been able to demonstrate that the assault rifles were for shooting rats, it's be OK. The discovery prompted Gen Prayuth to order his subordinates in the army and the ISOC to beef up vigilance against people carrying weapons into the capital. Democrat party spokesman Chanvanond Intarakomalyasut, meanwhile, said the car which carried the weapons belongs to a high-profile politician in a central province. He urged authorities to pursue the question of whether the arms were intended to stir up unrest in Bangkok. He said the police should note the fact the weapons were found in Nakhon Nayok in a car registered in Chiang Rai. Source: http://englishnews.t...oliticians-car/

I've fallen into the playpen with pretty coloured baubles that is Apple, and I don't regret it. Even when working (in the past) in closed MS shops, I still used my Mac. So what if they couldn't get read receipts or calendar scheduling to work. Just tell me.
