My Penis is hungry

THe Galt saga was frankly more interesting than much of what to me Stick wrote, Galt, my god, what a nutcase! Great entertainment, sorry that it did inflict pain on Stick, but great to watch.

555 - no, long before then even!

Accurate report, I still like the place, even in the 90's I found the girls could be very selective, if they didn't want you, they didn't go with you. The nature of freelancers. Trick seemed to become known. I've seen the same girl/woman trade her craft there for more than 14 years at least. Not sure what the record is, the staff definitely are stayers. The best short story (the best story I thin) by Christopher Moore was about one of the waiters there.

Wife beating

So he uses a single word as a prefix to the word "wife" and we jump to all sorts of conclusions?

Been very ill for a while, will be interesting to see how this plays out long term. He was the iron lid that kept the country working.

Where is the reference, didn't see it but the site is so hard to read

I saw some DC3's, oh wait, that was this year, they still use them!

FARK - I had exactly the same result when I posted this on Farcebook. Someone told me "This is Satire"

They'd make lovely nymphs at my Alter to Pan I am planning to build.

Every field in Isaan is a smorgasbord I've found.

I love pubic mounds

Come up country

Let's not forget Thailand needing special coaches on the BTS and MRT platforms to show them how to queue and enter the trains correctly, they're about 3 years ahead of the chinese frankly

Maybe in USA, but in Australia, every chance we get it's a lower dollar, we are an exporting country, and it does create work/jobs. Thailand the same, lower Baht is a boon for the country.

It boggles me why any one would want their home currancy to be strong, UNLESS they are living overseas. For anyone at home, it's far better to have a weak currancy, improve exports, build your own internal businesses, rely less upon imports, if you need a Merc, you pay extra, so what, Manufactuiring, Tourism, Education, Health, all export industries that benefit from weak currancy,

It's the wiggly bits, very good.

No need to post, I believe you

I'm waiting to see where I am going to next, I hope to be avoiding Pam and any of the family.

It's pretty 'armless working in PNG

Paul Theroux - Jungle Lovers, or Saint Jack - Richard Mason - The world of Susie Wong, all written a long time ago, but they haven't aged, as any one spending a few weeks in Thermae (even now) would find. Minimal sex, but far better than most of the recent Thai books,

Big Bang wasn't a big bang,it happened after a period of "leaking" - expansion was trying to happen, but forces contained expansion, with some minimal leaking that led to derogation of the forces holding the possible expansion, once integrity of the containment reached a critical level, the Big Bang then happened.

Of all the books about Bangkok, they are usually very tame, the sex, is "She satisfied him", for far better books about Asia and sex, go back to the 50's and 60's when there are better one

Stone, if humans had "Access" to all other people, or near access, then I'd agree 12 generations. However many groups are very remote and nointeraction. There was an exhibition a number of years ago "How the rise of the bicycle saw the fall of the village idiot" Interesting show as it showed how the gene pool was very small in many British villages that lived a long walk away - too far to court or arrange marriages so they happened within the village. WIth the invention of bicycles, men could wonder far further and spread the gene pool

Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants? Surely any person going to work outside their country is an expatriate? But no, the word exclusively applies to white people  Expats or immigrants?

One of those remnants is the word “expatâ€.  Posh white blokes: holding back the struggle for a fairer world? Read more What is an expat? And who is an expat? According to Wikipedia, “an expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of the person’s upbringing. The word comes from the Latin terms ex (‘out of’) and patria (‘country, fatherland’)â€. global development professionals  Join the Guardian Global Development Professionals Network Join up to access commentary and insight from development experts across the world. Click here Defined that way, you should expect that any person going to work outside of his or her country for a period of time would be an expat, regardless of his skin colour or country. But that is not the case in reality; expat is a term reserved exclusively for western white people going to work abroad. Africans are immigrants. Arabs are immigrants. Asians are immigrants. However, Europeans are expats because they can’t be at the same level as other ethnicities. They are superior. Immigrants is a term set aside for ‘inferior races’. Don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal, the leading financial information magazine in the world, has a blog dedicated to the life of expats and recently they featured a story ‘Who is an expat, anyway?’. Here are the main conclusions: “Some arrivals are described as expats; others as immigrants; and some simply as migrants. It depends on social class, country of origin and economic status. It’s strange to hear some people in Hong Kong described as expats, but not others. Anyone with roots in a western country is considered an expat … Filipino domestic helpers are just guests, even if they’ve been here for decades. Mandarin-speaking mainland Chinese are rarely regarded as expats … It’s a double standard woven into official policy.† Is there any space in the development debate for African experts? Read more The reality is the same in Africa and Europe. Top African professionals going to work in Europe are not considered expats. They are immigrants. Period. “I work for multinational organisations both in the private and public sectors. And being black or coloured doesn’t gain me the term “expatâ€. I’m a highly qualified immigrant, as they call me, to be politically correct,†says an African migrant worker. Most white people deny that they enjoy the privileges of a racist system. And why not? But our responsibility is to point out and to deny them these privileges, directly related to an outdated supremacist ideology. If you see those “expats†in Africa, call them immigrants like everyone else. If that hurts their white superiority, they can jump in the air and stay there. The political deconstruction of this outdated worldview must continue.
