"dupe other Thai girls into an exploitative bikini show" ​But if they'd been paid that would have been Okey Dokey, I wonder if any and if so, how many of them slept with the judges.

Mr Nostitz seems to have a knack for getting people's backs up. He's the sort, police arrest at 4 in the morning, for giving them too much lip. I am disturbed that a member of the press (Which News Organisation does he work for?) has been molested, but not at all surprised that it's Nostitz again.

That's positively splendiferous!

I'm with Huumlar, well I was one night anyway, though suffering from a deleterious hangover, I saw the potential in Saphan Kwai. I went to Soi Cowboy on Monday and also a month or so ago, and the experience is not what it used to be, drink prices are through the roof, girls are very expensive. Maybe it's because I'm hooked in MLG, or maybe it's because of the Thai view on running businesses, (if demand falters, put up the prices) but I'm not keen on Cowboy any more, I did want to see Patpong, but, maybe next time it's Saphan Kwai!

Count me as an atheist. But... Religions, on balance, do a lot of good. Think, what would these millions of people get up to, with their propensity for irrational beliefs and behaviours if not religion. Better, they are where we can see them and for the majority of them, doing more good than harm...

I think this says more about the uncivilised behaviour of the passengers than the cut of the uniform...

That's a brilliant premise for a Hollywood block buster - Climate Changers invent a chemical reaction for locking away the carbon in CO2 and it goes into 'runaway' and then there's not enough for food for the world. Just great clumps of black stuff all over the land...

I was in MBK yesterday, and there are little laser engraving shops there, they'll do the whole back of your cell phone in a picture! amazing. So even though I can't get a whole iPad in the machine, I can fit one end so I'll have a 'partial'

Like you said, boorish. Even if you can't count cards, just winning a lot will get you banned. If we have to have warnings on cigarette packs, there should be warnings at casinos. "If you win a lot, we'll ban you"

No to mention the Buffet and Guinness. A welcome gathering after the alternate universe that is Laos. Speaking of alternate universes, f'in Huumlar sent me through a wormhole in the BTS. The next day when I met up with another friend, I suddenly became obsessed with the length of women's 2nd toes, in open toed footwear and it's presumably correlated relationship with my perceived level of sexual attraction to them. The longer the toe, the more attractive and feminine the woman. Don't know why. All this happened in the space of 5 minutes whilst I was waiting for a ferry. I'm sure I'm in an alternate universe, foot fetishes are not my bag, so to speak. I'm going back to the worm hole today to see if I can get back to my previous universe, perhaps I'll find a newer one.

Unless you know how to positively identify a snake, stay well away. In particular there is a green tree snake that is bright apple green and harmless, there is also a very poisonous viper that looks exactly the same. I saw a brown snake in my garden last week, about 5 ft long, I tried to kill it but it got away, shame, I was looking forward to a nice snake curry.

You can have anything that wants to follow me around 😳

Ahh but then we have the Flashermacian. Those who seek to emulate or follow the Flashermac. A bit like Machiavellian. Same same but different.

BB. Sometimes you're a treasure. That's a great idea. Now. What to engrave. 'Goodbye and thanks for all the f**ks'. 'Sit on my face'. 'Property is NSA'. 'You know you like it that way'. Mmmm the possibilities are endless.

From the women's point of view, selecting a mate that's not from her gene pool confers a better immune system (hybrid vigour) on her progeny. They are more likely to survive and thereto better able to continue their mother's genes.

engraved ? for the lady you see

Here's a goofy question. I wanna buy an iPad air, it I buy it online I can get it engraved. The website says available to ship within 24 hrs. So, in the collective wisdom of the board, does anyone think, that if I order it on Sunday morning, they would be able to deliver it to my hotel in Bangkok by Tuesday lunch time - slightly over 48 hrs? Any advice or guesses welcomed.

Forgive my ignorance, but who was the Govt? Yellow? Red? Violet? Army? I don't know these things.

From an evolutionary standpoint, it makes a lot of sense. Raiding war parties who win, take the women for a good reason, some of them go with not too much protest... And as an ancillary argument, at least 10% of women 'like a bit of stray'. This is based on anonymous studies into DNA taken from babies and parents at birth, where they discovered that 10% of children do not belong to the father. Several countries in the study, so it's quite wide spread. Ahem...

And always remember, Nicolaus Copernicus. But I will say, that the Climate Change proponents do have some science on their side. But what they're seeing, in my view, is not long term enough. I know very few graphs, that take a straight line and continue it forever. _____ Oooooohhhh! I remember one, a plot of the temperature of absolute 0, over time.

I have a question. Which government instituted the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) ?

I can't do much except utter about 30 words in Thai and the same in Lao. Some of you have brains built for language learning, some of us, don't. An yet I can read, write and compose music. Who'd a thunk? I can decipher quite a bit of computer code too. But other languages? Cannot. BTW I know several folk here in VTE, German and French, who speak English better than I do and I'm not bad. There are also some Americans who seem to be able to get by in English, quite surprising really,

I love this argument - I could talk about this for hours. But in a few bullet points here is my summation: Climate Change - always has - always will -humans or no humans. They were bloody clever to shift the name from Global Warming to Climate Change. As pointed out in posts above, we humans are really arrogant if we think we can influence nature in more than a passing, glancing way. A positive in all of this - with the exception of carbon taxes - everything proposed to combat Climate Change is a bloodily good idea, Climate Change or no Climate Change. Carbon taxes et al - every Politicians wet dream - Vast sums of money and taxes that no one in their right mind can refuse. All of the accurate modelling data we have is focussed on timespans of about 100 to 200 years. A time so short, that the natural variability of any graphing, will show it to be meaningless in the fullness of time. It's a Gnat's fart in the Universe. When Politicians and Marketing Experts scrabble over each other to get on the bandwagon, you know something's wrong. A lot of data is misrepresented by the media who generally have their heads up their arses when it comes to understanding anything that's not gossip. An unrelated example of this follows: "Young men's chance of colorectal cancer doubles!" When what they are describing is a rise from 0.03% to 0.06%, another Gnat's fart in the Universe. So, are we getting warmer? - probably Will the Oceans rise? - probably Will weather events become more extreme? - probably Is it our fault? - not much, perhaps in the order of 1 % Will what ever happens, happen anyway? - of course. Why are people called Climate Change Deniers? Because they needed a disparaging name, Climate Change Realist would not do their cause any good at all. Pity I haven't got 4 more hours to rave on about this....
