We'll be there as usual. BTW, the girl in your avatar wouldn't happen to be... ?

I remember it as having great food. Might have to try it again myself. Unfortunately, that'll pretty much guarantee that I never try it. Who said that? AFAIK it opened something like 3 years ago.

I haven't eaten there since just after it opened. It was excellent then; glad to know the quality hasn't slipped. Greg is a friend and an excellent harp player. After opening the GARCo here he did indeed move to Hua Hin (to open a GARCo there) for a spell. Can't imagine he's doing all that well in the Tony's food court as it seems to be deserted whenever I pass. Good luck to him though.

They opened it into the teeth of the airport closure and the economic meltdown and the red shirt ASEAN protests and the airport duty-free scam exposure and the H1N1 flu nightmare and a whole host of other misfortunes. I don't think anybody could have predicted that the last 6 months would consist of one problem after another for Thai tourism. Who knows if Shooters could have continued the kind of steady growth we were enjoying in these conditions?

I'll be there to teach you how to drink!

None better in town than Real Divers. http://www.real-divers.com/ Owned by two brothers, Pete and Neil, along with their dad Dave. Very experienced instructors. I took my open water cert from Pete and it was fantastic. Two thumbs WAAAAAAAAAAY up!

How is MJ like Walmart? He has boys underwear half off. How is MJ not like Eric Clapton? He pulled his kid in off the balcony. How is MJ unlike acne? Acne waits until they're teens before coming on their faces.

Most websites aren't set up for any particular aspect ratio. Because the browser will rearrange the site to match the horizontal size of the window, doing that isn't an easy thing to do, or even possible in some cases. Concerning how much you see vertically, again that has nothing to do with the aspect ratio of the monitor. It is dictated by the window size again, and also the screen resolution. At 2 years old the computer in question will no doubt be capable of handling the wide-aspect (16:9) screen. It might be capable of resolutions that the computer isn't though, so read the documentation before setting it up.

Give Ken regards from Ray who used to own Shooters. I'll try to make it, but definitely will see him during his trip.

It's a nice amp. I had it on 3 other boards, but some guy on Thaivisa (which I am not on) was looking for one and davethailand and another BM hooked us up.

Pics showing fine for me mate. Make sure your browser is set to automatically show pictures? What error are you getting? Later edit: Nevermind. The pics are uploaded to a different board (Addicts) and hotlinked from there. If you're not a member of that board and logged in there I don't think you'll be able to see them.

Turn on your monitor?

Not a lot unusual about people taking pictures in Pattaya restaurants mate.

A sandwich walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here." A brain walks into a bar. Bartender says, "I'm not serving you! You're out of your skull already!" A tangled piece of string walks into a bar. It's unraveled and scraggly at one end. Bartender asks. "Say, aren't you a piece of string?" The string replies, "No, afraid not." A horse walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Why the long face?" A termite walks into a bar and asks, "Is the bartender here?" Giraffe walks into a bar and shouts, "Highballs are on me!" A guy walks into a bar. His friend ducks.

It is certainly true that no farang wants to earn or live like a Thai person. However, in Pattaya (and the tourist areas) ALL prices are inflated over the rest of Thailand. However, that is not the only reason. If you don't believe me, you should have a chat with a few farang business owners and ask them about how expensive it is to get the ingredients they want. Or, just take a walk through Villa Market. And IMO it doesn't hold a candle to the farang food in farang-owned places 99% of the time. I'd rather eat Thai food made by Thais than some bad imitation of farang food TBH. That's cheaper yet. Well, maybe, although I don't know what you base this on. Unless of course it's a guess. That being said, as I said, including 3 beers our tab for the entire meal came out to 1400 baht. I don't think that's too much for two people to pay for a delicious dinner of authentic Indian food; in fact I think it's quite reasonable. If you disagree, fine, you are entitled to your opinion.

Why should Indian food in Thailand be as cheap as Thai food? Farang food is more expensive than Thai food too. It has to do with the amount and cost of the ingredients; especially considering of those ingredients are imported. I can't see why this is particularly hard to understand I'm afraid.

Now folks wish neither of these had happened.

There are plenty of free pic hosts out there; solves the problem of running out of attachment space too.

Well, since not everybody is seeing this problem, I would tend to suspect that the problem is local to the machine(s) that are supporting it. Again, as far as I know, logins are almost always handled with cookies. To find out whether the problem is at TFC's end, I would suggest having him tell you his browser version and all his browser settings. PMing you screenshots would be the most efficient way to do that I should think. I would imagine that you would be able to tell him how to change his configuration to avoid this problem if he does that. If his configuration looks OK to you, configure the same version of browser the exact same way and see if you can replicate the problem. If you can, you have a place to start if you think it's fixable from your end. I know that sounds like a lot of work, but it's really the only way to be sure you are replicating his exact problem. Then, if you think the problem is at the board software end, you can disable ALL login-related checks, then enable them one by one, testing for the login problem after enabling each check, until you replicate the problem. That is the classical way to solve a problem like this. However, you first have to have a computer that mimics TFC's symptoms. PS: Yes, I AM a software guy! Sorry if you weren't looking for this level of advice.

Interesting, thanks for that tidbit of information. Could it be time-related?

You don't have to actively delete your cookies for them to be deleted anyway. Note Firefox's options for deleting cookies:

I doubt it's the IP address. Probably the cookie set in each machine you log in from has a serial number or some other identifying characteristic, and the board software compares the last one it assigned to your user ID with the one in the cookie it checks when you access the board under your board name. If the serial number of the cookie in the machine you access the board from doesn't match the last one the board assigned to you, it makes you log in again. That's how I would write the software anyway.

Works for me. Make sure you have cookies enabled and that they are not being deleted when you shut down Firefox.
