That hurts. I've started a bunch. Not a record, but a bunch. A couple of hours ago I got an email that you'd quoted one of my posts. It'd be great if that was the last one. Thanks for taking a look. .

Yes, of course. Even I can see the value of SOME notification. (LD, please notice I didn't quote you.) .

Okay, this seriously sucks now. Hope MM looks in. Or maybe I'll just find one of his posts and reply to it, he'll get the mail, right?. .

Gotta give you a heh on that one. .

Yes, I believe you find it handy and others, too. But I don't. I'd never seen it before, and don't want it, and wondered what the hey. Do we turn it on/off? Why did I suddenly start getting them (two, now). etc. It's not an overall objection, just a personal one. Anyone wanting it, that's jake. Anyone NOT wanting it, that would be nice, also. .

I just got an email with descriptive subject starting out: Hello! This message is to notify you that one of your posts has been quoted by LED. The post that was quoted can be found here: Then it had the link. Then it quoted a lot of the actual post. Tell me this is some sort of glitch and not something we can look forward to in the default setup??? Please? .

In what manner did I *NOT* answer that? You actually, you know, quoted the specific, actual answer. To wit: .

The last one also includes hot dogs. Either way, it always reminds me, ALWAYS reminds me of this: Harry Callahan: You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? ... Watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog. .

You are very young. .

I've seen this one written up. But look a bit. The font of the name is different. Note there is nothing AROUND that area, just a nice white area where you can drop your PhotoShop lines. Also there is no Thai - and in Thailand if you have a sign with no Thai you pay a very huge tax compared with one that has Thai. The Pepsi symbol doesn't count, that's the sponsor. My guess is it's a shot of an actual restaurant sign (left the hours in, why the fonts are different), with whatever was on it simply wiped out and something else put in. Pretty simple. .

How often? They played for other teams. You still won't tell us. Why not? It doesn't matter what we THINK. These are very public facts. Some of your best friends are ManU. heh. .

The sign in the OP was not real, it was in someone's imagination and was made up. AND there are many funny signs and punny signs that are real, but the one in the OP is not. .

Very good jacko, very good indeed. I'll leap back up and run back on the attack. The problem is that wac insists it's a unique thing. Man U get the late calls, previously it was Liverpool. Is there ANYTHING that backs that up? I don't doubt for a second ManU play for the penalty in some late circumstances, sometimes (or often if you prefer). What I do definitely doubt, and would like to be shown, is that only Man U are successful at it. I personally ALSO doubt that wac or anyone else can show any such thing. I don't mind wac having a private believe system, I strongly believe in freedom of religion. But he's a missionary, and that means he infringes on MY freedom about it. So it's a fair challenge that he show the power of his god here and I think his god is a powerless one. .

Good one, pap. You remember the pix or you don't, I guess. Frankly, can't be bothered to take the time to find the threads on it. If I were to do it, I'd probably start with "Fcuk inn" and work on those results. .

Sorry for this but: It could be malware, scanning last week is ridiculous; scan THIS week. It could be a Windows screwup. I presume you have not reinstalled (in repair mode) Vista. Before you do that, restart the computer and press F8 when you start, and choose from the menu to let Windows try to fix the problem. If that doesn't work, restart and F8 again, and choose System Restore, to some date before last week. Final Windows efforts, restore/repair Vista. If none of that works, then, It could be a hardware thing. Laptops go bad. Take it to the shop. .

ACTUALLY I'm the one who said that Thailand has lots of names to snigger over. Actually, nobody denied there are lots of funny names. There also are clever any naughty and nasty ones. British (mostly) inn and bar owners once cornered the market on them in Pattaya, although authorities have wiped most of them out now. There are threads on the leading Pattaya forum about them. But actually, there are ALSO several websites where you can make your own signs, with suggestions. And there are lots of image-editing programs you can use if you have more wit than that. Like the one in the OP. These Photoshop versions of allegedly funny signs are pretty easy to spot, really. .

This is the sort of thing you might, repeat MIGHT be able to prove with statistics. But you make no attempt to SHOW this is true, you state it as a fact. And almost no one accepts your FACT. Will you try to actually prove this astounding and incredible statement? Or will you simply continue for another dreary season to insist that everyone accepts your worldview and your account? .

What birthday? About 74? This is a guy who started out playing on the US-controlled airbase at Udon Thani in the Vietnam war. He took his name from the Doors' lead singer Jim Morrison, not that any young and hansum mongers remember The Doors. And he's lived a very hard life Lam. Happy birthday, man. .

Is it Windows? IF it is Windows, can you see the taskbar - that's the strip that's normally across the bottom of the screen, on the left is the Start button, on the right is the clock and so on -- with programs, if you have any running, in the centre?? If you can't see it, then that's the problem. If you can see it, then no progress. There is a virus that makes Windows XP taskbar blink - may do the same for Vista and 7, I don't know. Have you scanned lately? What happens when you click on the blink? Many programs will blink on the taskbar to get your attention. .

It's in someone's imagination. So are My Dung, Hung Far Low, Yung Dong, Happy Crack and a zillion others. There are lots of porn shops in Thailand, and "fuk" with an "f" is a melon, common ingredient for soup. And of course there is Phuket. .

Is it Windows, Mac, what? My advice is to tell us a lot more. Is it the centre of the screen or off to a side? What blinks -- a little dot, the whole line, 5 lines, a large circle? What else is on your screen? Is the light from a program (your browser, say?) or from the laptop itself. Does the light flash if you quit all programs?

Yeah, I even found myself kind of hoping it wouldn't be there the second time I came to the thread. There's stuff that's crude, rude and stupid. But there's stuff that is just way, way out of line. .

Bit of a Catch-22. Your (multiple) re-entry is only good up to the visa extension. If you leave on the day your visa expires then, well, it expires. There is a period of time between when you apply for an extension and you get the extension that leaving is potentially dangerous, date-wise. .

No it's not the weather. One2Call is not a network. He is on AIS, which is the top network. Coverage is not 100%, but if he's off the line for three days then his phone is off or he is deep, deep in the jungle on an extended trip. .

Absolutely, and it's what a lot of people in discussions like these miss. That said, I buy from the Internet, and I just have to have a credit card. The US ones are the biggest hassles imaginable. The Thai ones are tough to get, almost impossible if you don't work in Thailand -- although if you have a big enough or regular-enough account in a Thai bank, you can usually get them to cough up a credit card with a small, say 25,000 baht limit, which is enough for Internet stuff. They don't LIKE you using it abroad, but believe me, there's nothing they can do to stop you using a Visa card wherever you damn please. These days, however, a regular old US ATM card will pretty well always work on an Internet service or purchase -- and US debit card always will work. The best solution is just to get your US bank to give you a debit card, you can use that number on anything you need on the Internet. To get the card, we're back to using a convenience address in your home country. Your mom, a friend, whatever - they can forward the card, although actually all you'd need is all the details ON the card - name, number, CSV, date and so on. .
