My Penis is hungry

Where is Old hippie? "Someone hold his legs back" "Stick it in your arsehole yourself" "Lift up your nut sack"

Are you talking to friends of mine? They'll deny everything, or I will

No alchohol was used in the production of those rockets launches! I did like they showed the sex puppets, for coplating gods to make rain, a big part of the rocket ceremony but farangs often don't seem to notice

BIDC in Soi 7 Ratchada, Last time I took my son they cleaned his teeth, had a poke around, everything looked good so off you go. Went to pay, "No need to pay, didn't have to do anything" That I liked! Whole family has had everything from braces to teeth for my mum Always good work, and not cheap, but not as expensive as placesin the tourist areas are either

who the fuck posted that, take it down please, though the actress I believe is very cute

Erghh, no, thailand maybe, bangkok no

Man needs a hobby

I've seen these circular ones about frisbee size, never one this big, that's so good!

Maybe he bought a lot of booze and got a refund for promoting whiskey overseas?

OpenZFS if you're using Raid etc

The Judge Stuck on a plane I thought what the heck, Robert Downey Jnr, Robert Duvall as the leads, had to be worth watching, opening scene, looked like an ok comedy, then it went down hill into a dark serious piece of shit. Complete crap, fuck moving pictures are awful.

Sling Boxes still good- I initially was negative on them due to the bandwidth requirements, I've now deployed them in Africa with no issues, There is the requirement that the pay tv account your watching is the same as what you get, however you can also get a cable tv account direct with Sling Box, they are partially owned by one of the pay tv groups, forget who, in the USA. There are other solutions as well, so do some more research.

Great song, loved the French talking part, way too ynoug

Me Too!

Agree - you've got a sweet spot, as I said, we'll be back, but need to get the kids through school, wife the passport, job secured, then we'll be able to move home again, but that's many years away I feel. Cav - sorry, was a quick decision, and I believe you wasn't around, neither was dddave, so I missed quite a few of you, some couldn't find there way out of Suk to make the last party.

Interesting that just recently a number of people I know have decided to leave Thailand. For me, just as I came for Thailand for work, I am leaving Thailand for work. The bars never really held much attention for me, but I sure will miss Saphon Kway, I do like ducking down there, The various alternative night market type areas I've always enjoyed, I'll miss the village more than my family will I suspect. I am moving because:- Work here sucks, Kids need to get a better education that I can afford Wife needs to get a passport from my home country I've never liked Bangkok much, and like it less and more now. More as it is getting better in many ways, Ari which has been a second home of ours for nearly 15 years is a great area getting more interesting all the time BUT It's almost as expensive as living in the west. Without discussing which side of politics, the situation here sucks and isn't going to get better. When I do go to bars, well, frankly I have a lot more fun in Jakarta and Hanoi than I do in Cowboy or Nana, regardless of costs, AND Jakarta and Hanoi are cheaper to boot. Speaking of other Asian cotunries, my old work took me 50% of my time in other Asian countries, it surprised me to find nicer malls, restaurants, night life in many other countries than Bangkok. I'm NOT a foodie, but food is often better elsewhere, Yep - even in Manila I can get a better steak, cooked better, at a fraction of the price in Thailand, same goes for Jakarta, I do see myself returning to live in old age in Asia, but not guaranteed it will be Thailand. Thai's are changing, and I don't think for the best.

I think Sticks appeal is more to those not here than those that are here, Not many friends of mine who are local in Thailand read him (me self included) However I am surprised at the number of "Old Hands" who live else where and read Stick every week. I believe the attraction is in getting the "Local Gossip", being up to date with your fav bar, etc etc, I'm often surprised how they know more about the bar's than I do, however given I rarely went to them, and they'd read weekly, it's not a surprise. Now that I no longer live in Thailand, will I start reading Stick? Or like a number of others has the gloss worn off? Sounds like another thread

Army since 1973 - Common discussion is Singapore didn't wont Swampy to open, hence nothing ever happened, Think about that, <<The 8,400 acres (3,400 ha) plot of land occupied by the airport was purchased in 1973, but the student-led protests on 14 October that year led the overthrow of the military government of Prime Minister Thanom Kittikachorn and the project was shelved.[7] After a series of ups and downs, the "New Bangkok International Airport" company (NBIA) was formed in 1996. Due to political and economic instabilities, notably the Asian financial crisis of 1997, the civil construction began six years later in January 2002 by the government of Thaksin Shinawatra. The airport is located in a once low-lying marsh, formerly known as Nong Ngu Hao (Thai: หนองงูเห่า, lit. "Cobra Swamp"), which took five years (1997–2001) to clear make a land reclamation. In 2005, the construction supervision and management was transferred to the Airports of Thailand PLC, while the NBIA company was dissolved.>>

Army, they controlled the land, note the Air Force still uses DM, nothing moved to Swampy

SR400 is about the same price in Aus as in Thailand, same with Triumphs, Thailand is not as expensive as it used to be. Range though, is amazingly limited. Same with cars, wider range of cars in Laos and Cambodia than Thailand for similar or lower prices.

Cannot express what a great man he was, he suffered under the worst cruelty of the Japanese, yet was among the first to welcome them at the end of the war, the lessons that came from his tragedy made him the man he was. FRom Albo - He worked on the infamous Burma-Siam Railway, and after being sent to Japan he witnessed the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on the horizon. Far from producing bitterness, this experience politicised Tom and shaped his philosophy that he was to live by for the rest of his life. As part of Weary Dunlop’s force, he lived by what he described in his first speech as “the principle of the fit looking after the sick, the young looking after the old, the rich looking after the poorâ€. His philosophical approach to reconciliation was exemplified by his often used quote by Martin Luther-King: Hate is always tragic. It disturbs the personality and scars the soul. It’s more injurious to the hater than it is to the hated. Tom returned from the war and became a manager of Woolworths before he entered Parliament as the Member for Reid in 1958. He had a remarkable parliamentary career over the next 32 years which included serving as a Minister in both the Whitlam and Hawke Governments. He championed sustainability of both our natural and built environments and successfully campaigned for social justice and civil liberties.

Tom Uren, Great Australian, sad, really a hero. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/obituaries/tom-uren-prisoner-of-war-went-on-to-fight-for-social-justice-20150126-12y83z.html Former Whitlam minister and deputy Labor leader Tom Uren dies aged 93 Updated about 2 hours agoMon 26 Jan 2015, 3:42pm Media player: "Space" to play, "M" to mute, "left" and "right" to seek. VIDEO: ALP icon Tom Uren dies aged 93 (ABC News) PHOTO: Tom Uren aspired to be a professional boxer, but became best known for fighting the system. (AFP) MAP: Australia One of the Australian Labor Party's most iconic and prominent left-wing figures, Tom Uren, has died at the age of 93. The ALP stalwart and former prisoner-of-war was one of the ALP's most respected politicians, known for helping to establish the heritage and conservation movement in Australia. A member of Mr Uren's family said he had met his death "with the same character and courage he faced the rest of his life". They said a memorial service would be held in Sydney next week. Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten described Mr Uren as a "Labor giant". "Tom Uren was a giant of Australia, a giant of Labor - from his incredibly tough times as a prisoner of war through to his remarkable career as a Labor representative [and] a leading conservationist," he said. "Our thoughts are with his family. My thoughts are with my Labor colleagues who knew him really well." Tributes also came from the other side of politics, with Treasurer Joe Hockey saying he was "very sad to hear of Tom Uren's passing. He was widely admired as a very decent man, a beacon of integrity and a genuine true believer". Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Mr Uren had "served Australia throughout his adult life" and said flags would be flown at half-mast on the day of his memorial service. Wartime experiences propelled Uren into political activism The former Whitlam and Hawke government minister famously took on big developers, politicians and media heavyweights. Leave your tributes to Tom Uren here: Growing up in Sydney, Mr Uren aspired to be a professional boxer and fought for the Australian heavyweight title at the age of 20, but went on to be best known for fighting the system. A champion of Labor and the Left Tanya Plibersek pays tribute to Tom Uren, a politician who was always ready to speak out for the voiceless and the dispossessed. Born on May 28, 1921 in the then working-class suburb of Balmain, he experienced the poverty of the Depression first hand. A member of the Second Australian Imperial Force (AIF), Mr Uren was deployed to Timor during World War II. Taken by the Japanese as a POW, he worked on the Thai-Burma Railway and later witnessed the atomic bombing of Nagasaki from his POW camp in 1945. "It reminded me of those beautiful crimson skies of sunsets in central Australia but magnified about 10 times stronger," Mr Uren said in a 2008 interview with the ABC's Talking Heads. PHOTO: Tom Uren (second from left) poses with WWII veterans and former POWs at Hellfire pass, a cutting on the Thai-Burma Railway. (Greg Jennett: ABC News) His wartime experiences propelled him into a life of political activism and shaped his strong anti-nuclear views. Mr Uren took to the streets in opposition to nuclear weapons and Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. Unafraid to challenge authority, he took a police officer to court for shoving him at a rally in Sydney, but the case was thrown out. Instead of paying an $80 fine, Mr Uren chose to serve 40 days in jail. History repeated in 1978 when he refused to accept bail after taking part in an illegal civil liberties rally in Brisbane. "Going to jail was a part of the protest against the immoral and unjust anti-march laws," Mr Uren said. Uren defied but also created legislation But Mr Uren did not just defy legislation, he set out to create it too. In 1958, he was elected to Parliament as the member for Reid and went on to serve the Sydney electorate for 32 years. When a Sydney newspaper suggested he had been asking questions in Parliament on behalf of the Russian ambassador, Mr Uren sued media tycoon Frank Packer. It sparked a six-and-a-half-year legal battle with Mr Packer who eventually settled out of court. Mr Uren spoke to Talking Heads about that time in his life. What made me? I think, really, the great strength of my mother. Former Labor minister, Tom Uren "First of all, it put a lot of grey hairs on my head and the costs were enormous back in those days too, and that used to worry me and I'd get depressed," he said. With the election of the Whitlam Government in 1972, Mr Uren became minister for urban and regional development. He created new national parks and set up the Register of the National Estate, which recognised natural, Indigenous and historic heritage places. "My position on the National Estate was that we should preserve things that were unique and beautiful and that we should retain it for posterity - things that were created by humans or by nature," Mr Uren said. He was deputy leader of the Opposition from 1976 to 1977 but was replaced by Lionel Bowen when Bill Hayden was elected leader. Under the Hawke Government, Mr Uren was left out of Cabinet and instead given the junior portfolio of Territories and Local Government. Activism continued after Parliament Mr Uren retired from Parliament in 1990 and continued his anti-war activities amid the Gulf War.

(AGNSW/Mirra Whale) He visited the Iraqi capital Baghdad to discuss the plight of Australians detained by Iraqi authorities and urged compromise to solve the impasse between Iraq and the United Nations following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. In 2013, Mr Uren received the Companion of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List, for his work helping veterans and preserving sites of historic and environmental significance. Mr Uren is survived by his two children, Michael and Heather, and his second wife Christine. His first wife, Patricia Palmer, died of cancer in 1981. Mr Uren considered the breakdown of that relationship to be one of the biggest regrets of his life. When Talking Heads asked Mr Uren what made the man, he replied: "What made me? I think, really, the great strength of my mother, the principles that she put in me and the compassion she gave me".

Airport was an Army idea, started long before Thakky was even in politics, and Singapore paid well for it to be built very slowly

Way 2 - Wow - he left a hole in the wall with his head!
