I would guess you couldn't name a religion, a group, a nation or a cult where every single solitary member lived up to the rules. When Jones started handing out the Kool-Aid, wouldn't you know some of the weak ones deserted the ship and just flat refused to die! I think they have jails in Oz, don't they? For people who don't live up to the accepted standard? It's a human thing, so I've been told, not that I'd personally know about such failings. .

Hmmm. Sorry about that. I meant to sound weary. You keep saying the same thing over and over expecting a different reply like some idi... poster arguing over his kid's passport. The answer to your questions isn't going to change. No there is no controversy. No he won't be (wasn't, now) banned. No, no one to speak of really cares (cared) at all. Why don't you just accept that, and move on? You disagree with the vast majority. Okay, no problem, why shouldn't you? But your disagreement won't change a thing, no matter how many times you cut and paste the OP. And now it's over, done, finished. EDIT: Took out a mean comment, but I just have to post this halftime review by Dave Barry: The halftime show was spectacular. They wheeled out a really elaborate portable stage, then they turned out the lights, so the stadium went dark. And then, in one of the evening's most dramatic moments, the spotlights came on to reveal, in the middle of a swirling cloud of smoke . . . Janet Jackson's right nipple. No, sorry, that was Pete Townshend; from a distance, he bears a certain resemblance. Townshend is of course the guitarist for the legendary rock band The Who, which performed a medley of its greatest hits, which have been electrifying the world since they first came out during the Spanish-American War. The crowd went crazy, especially when Roger Daltrey, in the climactic finale of Won't Get Fooled Again, ejected his dentures all the way into the upper deck. .

Thanks. At least three of us here agree. I wondered what had happened to me, so many people were raving about it in the hour after it ended. Now pretty much forgotten of course. I downloaded the torrent for my kid, who didn't have the chance. .

As another obsessed poster put it, it's theoretical. The Who are playing. Townshend is playing. He's not "getting away" with anything, he's playing a 10-minute gig that almost no one will remember, as an after-thought at a sports spectacular. No, there is no comment to speak of and no outrage at all, sorry about that. You asked, that's the answer. It won't change in the next 12 hours before his gig, and it won't change after the gig. It's the way it is, like it or lump it, them's the two choices you have, there are no others. Free speech worries you. You aren't alone. Thank Gorsh you are isolated and unable to do anything about it though. I know what you're going to say, so just please don't write the biggest lie possible in this thread: "I'm in favour of free speech but....." Your big BUT shows you're not. .

How come you didn't quote me saying it? Because I didn't? Thank you. What I said. .

No, you need a spyware remover. Ad-Aware or Spybot or Malwarebytes, try one. They're all free. THEN stop looking at dodgy ladyboy porn sites . .

Personally. I think there's a little more to greatness than young Master Wayne has achieved so far. Heart, soul, selflessness, leadership, rising to a great moment (can you say "World Cup"?)... the list goes on and on. You don't have to get them all, but surely you have to get some??? Scoring some goals in club matches doesn't rate English greatness to me. That's not a putdown in any manner. This is a wonderfully talented player, but give him some time and opportunity to be great and see what he does with that opportunity. First *big* chance - South Africa. Let's be realistic and remember how many "great" players simply couldn't do anything once they got on foreign grass. Give Rooney a chance. .

You don't mention how much it's worth to keep her from nagging and bringing it up every day or two if you don't take her. That's how much it's worth. I'm pretty sure, unless you love being nagged, that a meal at Baiyoke will be less. .

Stinky beat me to it. Up early, on China time. .

A couple of things you need to know. First, the lease, and is the landlord okay with continuing it, or do you have to rewrite it, etc. Second, what's in the laundry, and the condition of it. A list, please, to be checked off on takeover day. And third thing, let's see the laundry (customer) lists for, oh, say, the last week. That's where I'd start "due diligence". Anything funny here, drop it or prepare to change what's obviously broken. .

And a damn good reply, as others already wrote. Thanks Good to know and IMANSHO one hell of a good way to run a very well-run and enjoyable forum. .

Well... in this case, they would have some. No employee is going to keep track of every pair of socks and knickers in their head -- not unless there is nothing to track of course. No records means no laundry. .

Starting to sound like you're going to have to get with the ATM machine people -- the bank. That will be a major project, I'm sure. I don't envy you that. Meanwhile, my wife's Bangkok Bank ATM card works like a champ in the US, no hiccoughs for several years, not a bit of a problem. .

Since you already changed from Iran to Nepal, why not explain to the audience how you did that? .

Your point and heart are in the right place but really -- what satellite? The satellite services are xrappier than the commercial services, except for fans of Burmese dancing and Indian Ramayana contests. Not much is free to air these days, and if you have a satellite you'll either get very little useable TV, *or* you'll go nuts trying to pay the decoding companies/pirates while keeping your satellite dish rotating properly. .

Everything from Comodo is absolutely free to individual users, entirely aboveboard, no-catch, and terrific. They have the world's best firewall, among other freebies. Their spam engine is tops, and their new Time Machine is WAY better than Microsoft's System Restore. Comodo is an excellent company. I haven't tried their backup but I don't doubt it's probably very good. .

Truecrypt is a very good security program for prying girl friends and the like. It is FREE, not shareware. .

C-plus. Arguably B-minus but I'm a tough marker. .

The correct usage is Les Frogs. Unless you are from Canada: Les Pepsis. .

Funny that the kids in Arkansas and the kids in Queensland and the kids in Ontario gave EXACTLY the same answers to EXACTLY the same questions. What's with England being so far behind them? Funny stuff. But as said in a similar thread recently, why do people feel they have to put some ridiculous qualifier on top of a joke collection? To be clear, dodger, that's not aimed at you. Thanks for the retro collection -- funny then, funny now. Me, I just wish kids were that smart. There are some quite astute answers in among the jokes there. .

Oh, you already know the tax and custom handling charges on imported food then, okay. But why would you say Villa is making a killing if you already know that? .

How much for a takeaway bowl of Tom Yam in Iceland Supermarket, and what's a 5-kilo bag of rice going for in your UK Tesco? .

Good example of alliteration, lousy example of reasoning. .

It couldn't sell ONE paper if it didn't happen, which was the point of the post you answered, that ONLY soccer seems to regularly attract such people with such motives. It's just a fact that while there have been riots over pretty well every sport from chess to rugby, only football appears to have the culture built-in. Not everywhere, but in an astounding number of places. In this case, the media reports what happens -- or doesn't happen in many cases. I remember quite well the unusual situation of NO violence at the 1994 World Cup, say - not unique, but definitely unusual. .

The popular Thai version of Oxo is Knorr, available in every grocery-type shop -- small, yellow packets in beef, pork, chicken, fish, Tom Yam, etc. .
