  1. Yes and Zerox got Apple shares didn't they, but yes, correct. A WW2 radar screen had neither Windows nor a mouse, just the CRT.
  2. Go and grind your axe elsewhere. If 52 innocent people had not been cruelly slaughtered by 4 evil extremists the scenario of fear in London would not have existed. So I give this one to the 4 traitors, may they rot in hell.
  3. No it's not, it is +14 hours. There is the paltry matter of crossing the International Date Line. Didn't you ever see 'Around the World in 40 days'.... ?
  4. John Hurt.
  5. That is the least Bill could do... I always thought Windows was a rip off from the Mac.
  6. Emirates have sent me a few, but you really have to check the layover in Dubai. Hanging around there for 7-8 hours doesn't make up for a hundred quid saving for me. Qatar just sent me a flyer but that is flights out of BKK.
  7. No it isn't, I haven't done it myself but would that new train into BKK, then a connecting train to HH be an alternative. Are alternatives OK Joe?
  8. I first heard on the Beeb, then watched the report on Fox well before MM posted, but I didn't get that impression.I thought he was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago.
  9. There are guys who do it in 'public', seriously, get out more.
  10. The Matrix.
  11. Well for a while there was only the GO-GOs in the area now known as WS (Soi Diamond), plus of course TQ. There was also a lot of beer bars all the way down beach Rd. It was still Pattaya..... and it certainly was not boring. I might hazzard a guess that it was more intersting then... but that is likely me changing. But your point being an alternative to WS is desirable, and there used to be one before the Pattayalands changed gender, and that was conveniently near to WS too. Soi LK Metro is a bit far out, and last time I stayed in town I had a night there and went to my Soi Diana hotel relatively early ... the place died at 2am!
  12. Yes no point having any stunners when you can't see further than 5 ft and it smells unpleasant.Champagne has always been pretty full when I have gone but I have struggled to enjoy myself, a cheaper beer perhaps but the girls seem to stay away. It is far from being the best go-go in Pattaya, including the word 'possibly' is just being noncommittal. The Office might well be better than some on WS, but you cannot say it is as good as any, and certainly as many. If WS is a tourist trap, does LK Metro want to be an Expat trap?
  13. I spotted the painfully thin old Thai lady with the pasted face yesterday, haven't seen her for ages. She was stood in the middle of Soi Chaiyapoon with her legs wide apart fumbling in her pockets.

    Floods

    As MM states here around Pattaya we have been relatively unscathed, in fact other than the Sept 11th dousing (which I missed anyhow), not much rain. I would say the average rainfall in the area is down this year. Areas that are being flooded are also not necessarily in the rainy areas but in a river basin affected by rains elsewhere. I get regular reports from a few of her relatives and watch the Thai news regularly.
  15. I tend to agree, with a condo you should have the ability to put it into your own name (foreign owned). One that was in the allocated to Thais percentile would have to be somewhat cheaper to attract me. Owning it in a company name is no more risky than doing the same with a house, but in my case, I would trust the wife and buy it in her name.
  16. Somethings Gotta Give.
  17. Fuck off Joe....... You are such a sham!
  18. 56/68 C and H according to this....
  19. That was on Sophon only last week..... Snoop Dogg
  20. It was? Nice to have the power of God and amend your posts without leaving a trace!Who changed it in your quote?
  21. I heard that the Threppasit auctions have gone.... is that true...where are they now?
  22. Yeah, Gareth Thomas is a real mans man!
  23. You are correct...... I should learn to read properly!
  24. Back pocket, in a wallet, with a button down flap.If I am out on the piss I change the wallet and go out using one that only has cash in it, sufficient for the evening. It is more the fear of losing all the other crap like driving licence, bank cards, credit cards etc than cash. I only keep a bit in the house in a safe.... Much as I hate them I trust banks with most of it. Never ever wear jeans going out, too hot and uncomfortable. As a tourist I always had a place with a good safe, and never ever opened it in front of my amour de jour.
  25. I might say it seemed more like an Indian cafe than a restaurant.... Yes it was cheap, but I felt concerned I may regret eating there later.... As it was, no problems.
