No. It means that the law forbids it. .

Yes, and I told you then that you were wrong, that Elway didn't have the guts (never mind the power) to do any such thing as go after Andrew Luck in any manner, for any reason, no matter what happened. It has NOTHING to do with the Pittsburgh game or the New England game or making it into the playoffs or a three-game losing streak either. The decision was made in November. Tebow in October and November made Elway look like a chump for starting the loser, Orton. Elway does not have the guts to respond to that. I told you that all along. You insisted that it was all about Luck. Yeah rig

Yes True for 3G unlimited, without a doubt. Mr Monkey, rentals is not a big thing in Thailand, I'd be surprised if you found what you want anywhere, let alone have a choice. Go along to Tuk.com and ask at some of the shops, I can't think of any better advice. .

What I said several weeks ago, that the very insecure and tip-toeing vice-president of something or other wouldn't have the guts to do anything else. Remember? I told you he would say that no matter how the season ended, or when it ended, there was never an iota of a scintilla of a chance he would say otherwise. Five wins in a row as a drop-in, backup quarterback, what else do you think Elway could do in his last chance of finding a job in OR out of football? I told you that while you were lecturing me about how the powerful and single-minded Elway was going to manipulate the draft of Andrew

Even if they do, the 49ers will win again. .

Taunting on airport boards is IN. Top, Denver airport bids good-bye (kast week) to Pittsburgh fans who had come to see the Steelers rip the Broncos. Below, on Monday, a Jay-Z quote says farewell to New Orleans fans on their way home to wait for August.

At least three of those are worth stealing. Excellent, best in a long time! .

High level drug arrests are made and publicised in downtown Bangkok and further - by the Customs Department. Imports to Thailand come from one or two places more than the Customs Hall of Suvarnabhumi airport, eh? The Customs people at the airport are a SMALL fraction of Customs people and your suitcase is a minuscule part of their duties. Customs police are national police. Their jurisdiction is the type of case, not geography. Same as, for example, immigration. Immigration police are all over the country of course. So are customs police. Consider this for a minute just for an example.

Like I said, this thread has been taken over by a religious freak. There are VERY few church services on during Sunday evening Vic. One of the reasons is that churches show sports - including the Super Bowl (again). Welcome to the world, Vic. The world where THOUSANDS of churches have been setting up TVs and watching the Super Bowl for several decades. The NFL has tried to stop them, and now has given up. You couldn't convince another church to do it because so many did it on their own without waiting for your encouragement. Sigh. The thread is phuocked Vic. You phuocked it. I won't b

Well, maybe breakfast next Monday? Two good Monday morning games just over... well, Green Bay is only 10 points behind with a few minutes to go. The two Monday games combined couldn't match that one Sunday early game, which is still "wow"! The Ravens won. Houston seemed to keep it close but Baltimore never looked in serious trouble. They have a so-so offence, though and will have hands full with the Brady Bunch. The defence as always is terrific, although Ed Reed looked pretty pained in his second injury of the game on the final play. Eli beat the crap out of Aaron Rodgers. One-on-

How do they know you are a guy on holiday with no reason to search UNLESS they ask you? By your "I'm a Good Guy" smilie badge? Totally agree about the attitude. Although the TSA rentacops are far, far worse. I seriously believe they are out of hand. .

Good one Bigus. I thought it was going to be something like this: .

Heh. The only prediction I made about Denver was they wouldn't make the playoffs. That was in October. I believe you don't remember, you were were so distraught after that Thanksgiving night game I was a little bit worried. But I predicted San Fran and Baltimore would meet again in Indianapolis on Feb 5. I hoped it would cheer you up, but it was a serious prediction. And Thanks! for the addition to my Obama caricature collection. Some day it could be worth millions. "Can you ear me now?" .

The last two times ... what? The last two times you were there but didn't watch for it and didn't count? C'mon Mr Onto, there's not the slightest way you could know what they stop, survey or otherwise get involved with. The only thing you can confirm (maybe; assuming you notice one or more) by flying to Bangkok twice is that people ARE stopped after they pass through the customs checkpoint. You definitely can't tell how many customs agents there are, or what they do for the other 18 hours a day you were there or the 20 hours a day for the other 363 days you weren't there. And are you s

If you mean Thailand, if the kid has a passport of your nationality, the kid needs the same visa you need. Otherwise he needs a visa for the nationality of his passport. To put it another way, the kid needs exactly the same as an adult needs. Exactly. .

Requires girl. (Girl sold separately).

Just remember who told you last Thanksgiving the two teams who would be playing in the Super Bowl. I haven't wavered on that. And yes, within six or seven hours I could look dumb to have reminded you. But I DID predict it. EDIT (six or seven hours later). Nope. Still perfect and patting my own back. Ravens still playing. Not picking up my commendation certificates quite yet, but my two predicted teams are in the Final Four at least. BTW, the previously "real" NFL thread got farkled by some religious dope who did a Dusa on it. I think this is the "official" thread now, or should be.

Please tell me that was a joke that I didn't get. Please!! So I can laugh with you instead of at you. As the guy says on The Office: Question! What do you think the Super Bowl has been doing the past 40 years... heck, let's say the past 45 years? Fact: The Super Bowl is the biggest US sports story of the year. The Super Bowl draws TENS of millions of non-sports fans to their TVs. Yes, well, there have been rumours on FLB that you are a US sports fan. Your rumours and five bucks..... etc etc. I realise the problem here, that a *successful*conspiracy is never known

No kidding. One of those days I'm glad how very, very seldom I actually bet. No doubt in my mind about that. I caught Michael Irwin on the NFL channel saying he wish he'd had a leader like Tebow when he played. Tebow had a heckuva run. He's got the summer to work with his boys, and learn how to throw, and get a system that isn't the triple option. Broncos look best in the West for next year right now, especially since the Chargers are keeping Norv "Hangin' Coach" Turner for another horrible year. Vic, any response to the "fixing games" mini-thread you started and so abruptly a

The only team that played in Week 17 is sure playing again today, the Patriots blowing the Broncos out. Brady looks totally unbeatable, and the whole team is "up". There is no contest. .

Well, here's a website that further explains it. The chances of you getting stopped at Suvarnabhumi Airport's customs green channel are very slim, but in accordance with international standards a quota of inbound travellers are stopped and checked. The procedure will take the form of either your suitcase and hand luggage being x-rayed or a manual search by one of the customs officers present. Over the past couple of years Thai customs have stepped up their efforts to stop excess import of cigarettes and alcohol. Staff routinely stop and search travellers prior to entering immigration cont

H1 of San Francisco-NO in the books. One of those crappy but exciting games, very good fun. UPDATE: All over. One of the really watchable games of the playoffs, worth a look for sure. Brees was every bit as good as he was a year ago. .

Mr Monkey, what you saw in Australia as "fast and stable" is a top wish for most people in Pattaya and Thailand. You will get a DSL line off your landline telephone with a hard connection, with fairly good, often reliable service. You will also get some outages for seconds, even minutes. You'll get varying speeds because it's DSL and shared -- with more speed at 0300 local time. Which service is "best" depends on many things, but most especially the luck of the draw. Note that it also depends on where you live. You may have a choice of three, two or even one company. And it may take a day

Yes it is definitely all about me. Well, me and the government of Thailand, that is. This is a warning issued by the government, by every Thai embassy and consulate, and it used to be (probably still is) in many of the airline in-flight magazines and, of course, around the Suvarnabhumi airport and land customs offices. Quote: Visitors enter Thailand through the "Nothing to Declare" customs channel despite carrying tobacco or alcohol far in excess of the amount allowed. As a result, they could afterwards be subjected to inspections and fines by the Thai Excise Department. Unquote Ther

You may not have seen it because the agents who do this are in plain clothes and fairly discreet. If you watch for 2-3 Thai men (almost always men) sort of sidling up to people who have just sauntered through the green line, you will see it too. It is done in the "hall" between Customs and the public area, and it is done in public areas all the way out to the sidewalk in front of the airport building. I have no idea if it is one in 10, but it is common. Next time, after you've gone through Customs and you're in that "hall" on the way out to meet your friends or taxi or whatever, look a
