  1. I use Mr Toom and this is a bit worrying. An obvious security measure is to check if the driver has my phone number, which I always supply when booking.
  2. Well we should revert back to the last valid answer which is Richard Long. I need to wait for the 24hr time mark.
  3. Well, likely the router isn't passworded either then or uses the default, so she could log into that and find out who the ISP is and call them herself.
  4. SMLalzheimer's.....try Siberia.
  5. Fri 2pm. Wow, one helluva thundersorm.

      Seen some of the vids on youtube Jacko, proper tropical storm that was.

  6. The Russians still seem to be able to come here. Last night as I strolled 2nd Rd I thought, they are back.... is it snowing in Siberia already?
  7. It is awkward. We are often told not to in some environments, but my Mrs is pretty quick to tell me I have been 'waied' and need to return it with her friends and relatives.
  8. On a whim I gave this place a try last night... braised steak, chips and cold peas. Not very many customers but steady, I think it is just 'ticking over' Service is reasonable although one would have to stretch one's imagination to believe the attempt at gender. Peas were served cold and rather too much of the liquid had been slopped in. In the past I disliked having the dogs wandering around, yesterday they were not apparent, perhaps they were avoiding the unpleasant odour in the AC area. It remains super cheap, you can get filled up for under 300 baht. One of the few places that doesn't charge over the odds for a drink.... my soda water I think was 25 baht, most pub-grubs will hit you for 50 baht. I don't think I will be back but I bet the place survives.
  9. No need, it gets covered with flies. I have an idea it won't go to waste.
  10. Perhaps the rental guys are tired of people 'reporting' that the engine keeps cutting out at the lights! My pal in the USA phoned the rescue services when his rental wouldn't start...... only to be told you have to put it in Park, AND depress the brake to start it... he went into a rant about that being unnecessary to cover his embarrassment. We have a couple of bike renters on the board who could have an input.
  11. Vincent Price
  12. Gladiator..... Have you noticed the nastiest of tyrants are invariably thin?
  13. I am using 'True' now, at 30/3 Mb. The one concern is that it doesn't work for the Android TV boxes that Lanzalad posts of. It is about 840 baht / month including basic TV package.
  14. Because they are expensive and the idle stop feature fucks them up?
  15. Smokey and the Bandit. I'm gonna take his hair and throw it out in the dirt.
  16. An extended rainy spell.....

  17. Mike Starr. (up since 2am)
  18. I think a pepper sauce helps most steaks except a rib-eye or prime rib. A sauce helps swallow too as often it can be dry. Served on the side should please all.
  19. Kevin Costner. (this was on Sophon recently....sure was available on DVD quick)
  20. Well there is of course a much more obvious one........ The Beverly Hillbillies.
  21. You didn't fall and bang your head again did you Gonzo?
  22. Yes of course, 'Third World ' suggests backwards and toxic tapwater. I wonder what they used to call the New World before? (Edit for idxxot.......before it was called that and after it was discovered... )
  23. Isn't it more of a timeline rating? Like old world, (Europe), New World (Americas+Oz) then the rest being third world. Anyhow, the 10th largest economy (for example) still has dire dire poverty within.
  24. That would be after you take the Tag off the key, or find suitably stiff name cards to jam in the slot to keep the electric on while you are out I expect.
  25. Shirley Temple (24hr)
