Slowly coming back up to snuff, and looking good at every stage. I know/appreciate what you're going through. At this stage, the most useful phrase you can have: I'll be there in a minute, dear. .

One-key option. Press "Home" .

Absolutely credible. This happens a lot, everywhere in Thailand and presumably lots of other places. But it's almost the opposite to what the OP claims happened. He actually lost his passport! - plus everything else. That is really unusual. Taking a few of the available bills leaves the plausible denial that "you must have counted them wrong". Taking it all - there's really no excuse possible. "He never put anything in the box in the first place" hardly has the same ring. I'm with the doubters. It's certainly possible but as the Americans say "I'm from Missouri". .

I just noticed - way down in the very bottom left, teeny-weeny type, a Back to Top link. "Home" does it for me but at least there is something for the mouse-addicted. .

First thing I looked for was to change that. There's an options button beside the Search, but it's not working at the moment. I'm presuming there will be skins as time goes by - hope so. .

Those are THE four names, my take. Good game, good fun.

"Home" key on your keyboard does it. .

I HATE the way the quotes appear right now - you can't really tell where the quote ends and the poster starts. Every post looks like it's been done by BidD. EDIT Whoops! And just like that, the quote box reappears! No wonder you get all the girls MM! .

Much more likely the travel agent would tell them how lucky they are to be booked right at the time of the Thai New Year, a real cultural treat. .

More hateful talk about the Irish. This sort of thing is what caused the whole IRA terrorist uprising. A lot of academics blame this specific joke for the potato famine. Please delete this malicious post. Otherwise, it'll be your fault when the Irish cut off their Nicotine Anonymous programme that is so helpful to everyone - where when you want a cigarette you call up and they send over an Irishman that gets drunk with you instead. .

Uh. Yeah. Right. They're deadly afraid of that. .

So you better stop posting jokes. Every joke, EVERY JOKE offends someone. That is the nature of humour. The guy who slipped on the banana peel is offended when you laugh. Almost the entire "Darwin Awards" is specifically based on someone getting killed, thus you offend his family, his friends and of course his legacy. Blonde and Polish jokes offend. Kiddie jokes offend. Jokes about BG offend. Lawyer jokes offend, lawyers have actually taken joke-tellers to court to stop them, I kid you not - now THAT is a joke, eh? I suppose the exception to this rule would be Scottish jokes. They can't offend. (That was a joke, geddit?) .

Three jokes above, including cebual's multiple post counting as one joke. So tell us. .

Russians screw babes and marry tractors, that's a rule? That what you're saying? .

Yes it was filmed almost entirely in Bangkok, with some scenes in California (mostly airport). I don't know the actual locations, but it is standard practice by the Thai production companies to offer the actual employees a chance to be extras when they're using bars, hotels, government offices and the like. Most of the "Vietnam" movies made in Thailand, for example, have Thai BGs. .

You have politeness and you have sensitivity and you have consideration. And you have political correctness. Political correctness ALWAYS goes too far. It is ALWAYS horrible. The cure for political correctness is more free speech. Consider: If YOU are offended, that's you - that's your fault. Consider being sensitive and polite enough NOT to tell us about being offended. Every joke offends someone, somewhere. These could be very interesting books. Anyhow, they're interesting titles. .

I know a guy quite well whose father died in a Nazi concentration camp. Got drunk and fell out of his guard tower. C'mon cebual. Telling jokes did NOT lead to Kristalnacht ferkhrighsake any more than marijuana led directly to your paranoia. .

I thought your Sharks were sort-of okay for 53 minutes, as usual. This is a team absolutely not playing to its potential. But then some teams are like that - they play just barely good enough to win. I think Vancouver will crush them, but I'm putting about a nickel on that. .

Not quite. Books are free when the publisher or provider doesn't charge for them - I know that sounds stupid but read on a bit. Amazon (for example) gives away books for the Kindle, sometimes, because the publisher has a special, and offers them free for a while. Many of them are new or modern or reissued. There is also a growing trend to sell books for 99 cents. Books out of copyright can be printed and sold for whatever the printer/publisher wants to charge for them - including for free. You can buy Moby Dick for $50 if you want. Or you can get the TEXT of Moby Dick from several places in electronic form for free, and read it. If a copyright has expired, that just means anyone can print it and sell it (or give it away). "Copyright" is the legal right to copy - that's all. If you write something, you have copyright. You can sell the thing you wrote, or you can sell (or not sell) the rights to copy to, say, a book company. There's no one-length copyright. A typical one is "life of the author plus 50 years". Governments are always playing with the length of copyright. But there are all kinds of legal implications. A good example: The song "Happy Birthday" is still copyright, after 118 years. The above is not even good enough to be a primer on copyright, but I hope it's a guide. .

Beat me to it. Absolutely right. .

At this exact moment I'm in the US watching Versus. But I have a Slingbox, so in Thailand I also watch it on Versus. For hockey, though, there's lots of it on TrueVision subscription TV, on their "ASN" sports channel, I think that means American Sports Network, heh. The good thing about ASN is if you do it right and not read the sports pages, you can catch the taped games the next day and not know who won. .

Yeah, Sharks look miserable, very uncomfortable that they might actually win. Give San Jose the golf players it so richly deserves, let's get on with it. Have to pick Vancouver for the final now, I guess, I can't see Detroit, certainly not Sharks beating them. Narrowed down to this, the East actually has the better teams, all in all. Second period of Sharks-Wings was the most entertaining of the whole playoffs that I've seen though. Good fun, end-to-end stuff. Those old geezers looked pretty good. Mike Modano ferkhrighssake!! What is he, 62, 64 years old now? Jeeze. .

No magic, I'm afraid. If there was ONE website that always had the cheapest tickets, well, there would soon be only website selling cheap tickets. Shop, shop and shop again - that's my experience and advice. Sites like Kayak are excellent in trying to track down deals of course, I like Kayak a lot. But I like Qixo, Cheapflights, Sidestep and others, too. .

Should be around 7 baht. It (often) depends on what SIM/carrier you use. Try 007, 008. .

Everyone should. Or maybe I just didn't see the part where she told the guy "please pick me up and throw me around and see if you can make me throw up." .
