  1. KBR aka the Evil Empire the biggest civilian contractor in Iraq. 365 Mill is a drop in the ocean compared to the unaccounted for Billions over the last few years in Iraq.

     

    One of the directors is now doing 20 years for 200 Million of backhanders to get contracts in Nigeria, every KBR employee at the time the investigation was ongoing was issued with a court instructing them not to delete any emails. I worked for K M.W. Kellogg at the time, nothing to do with Brown & Root.

     

    Brown & Root sold off one of its subsiduraries a few years ago, Haliburton of Dick Cheney fame, Cheney is still a non executive director of Rootie Tootie.

     

    All these Goverment contracts being awarded to the same civilian contractor DOH!

     

     

  2. A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. Snip

     

    I must have heard that one a thousand times but I never tire of hearing it,

     

    As an Engineer who has had run ins with beuracratic management on more than one occasion it is actually very close to the truth and that is what makes it so funny.

  3. Teacher : Can you tell me the name of 3 great kings who have brought happiness & peace into people's lives?

     

    Student : smo-king , drin-king & fuc-king...

     

     

    There are a few boardmembers who shall will remain nameless who would have mentioned wan-king!

    From Paris with Love: Wildly over the top actioner. A guilty pleasure. Was fun, but check your brain at the door. Still, recommended.

     

     

    Watched it a couple of nights ago and IMHO John Travolta was doing a spoof of Bruce Willis, the wife thought it was a comedy.

     

    As you said tallie, for 78 minutes of unadulterated entertainment without needing to put ones brain into gear its well worth a look see.

     

    Not a movie I would pay to see / purchase (even cheap pirate Thai DVD's) but OK for a free download!

  6. Hi,

     

    It might have been mentioned already, but I saw 'Law Abiding Citizen' on Saturday. Excellent movie.

     

    It is basically about a guy taking revenge on the justice system that failed him.

     

    Sanuk!

     

    :yeahthat:

     

    Just saw it myself yesterday morning inbound to Bangkok and was enthralled by it, best movie I have seen in quite a while.

     

    Well worth watching if you haven't seen it already.

  7. A bloke is sitting in the bar in the departure lounge at a busy airport.

     

    A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. He decides because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off-duty flight attendant.

     

    He decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for, thereby impressing her greatly.

     

    He leaned across to her and says the Delta Airlines motto 'We love to fly and it shows'. The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line.

     

    Then he leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto 'Winning the hearts of the world'. Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

     

    Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto 'Going beyond expectations'. The woman looks at him sternly and says 'What the f**k do you want?'

     

    'Ah!' he says, sitting back with a smile on his face. 'Ryanair'.

     

  8. I received an e-mail from the Department of Health today telling me not to eat Tinned pork because of swine flu....

     

     

     

     

     

    I Ignored it.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It was just Spam.

    After returning from his honeymoon in Florida with his new bride, Virginia, Luigi stopped by his old barbershop in Jersey to say hello to his friends. Giovanni said, 'Hey Luigi, how wasa da treep?'

  10. Good Move Munchie I enjoyed it when it first came out and it's probably more pertinent today! I shall download it later when I get home thanks for the reminder.

     

    Last night we watched "My Cousin Vinny" After watching Goodfellas a few days earlier I wanted the wife to see Joe Pesci in a comedy role. I was suprised when I read that the American Law Society voted it the 3rd best legal movie of all time,

     

    Now that Hi-Speed Internet in BKK is actualy getting close to high speed I am downloading quite a lot recently working my way down the IMDH Top 100 movies list,

     

    Away from movies I did enjoy the Australian series "Underbelly" Series 2 a tale of two cities is being shown n Aus currently and episodes are available as torrents within a day of episodes being aired!
