Interesting that you did not debate Bush being to stupid to write a book like every ever president has done, but chose to attack me instead. You glossed over my reference to the two other presidents that are now doing something with their lives to help humanity. What are either of the Bush's doing? Never mind, we already know. Daddy Bush is selling arms, and dummy bush is doing nothing but living the high life. Ever noticed that those that are caught being liars, cheats, or thieves, will always resort to name calling? No need to reply, just an observation, and question in general.

Glad that you admit to that point Bruce. Now lets go back to retired ex-President Bush's photo opp. I looked up the pictures that you posted, they were taken AFTER Bush left office. He is to stupid to write a book like other presidents did. He is to self centered to help humanity like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are doing. He has nothing to do all day but play golf and watch fox news. So he took an hour of one of his worthless days and did a photo opp. Woo Hoo. Then you compare him to President Obama who is Commander in chief of the military, overseeing two wars. He is dealing with the BP oil spill, a lousy economy, Israeli / Palestinian peace, American health care, an onslaught from the far right wing, and the republicans. He meets regularly with world leaders, and there are a lot of leaders in the world, just look at a world map. He goes to briefings with the CIA, FBI, NSA, The Military, and his own cabinet. Congressmen are constantly knocking at his door trying to get his attention, or support on what ever their pet peeve, or pet project is. There is also Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea to deal with. I could go on and on. Then on top of that, he has a personal life, with a wife that is young enough to still want a sex life, and her husbands time. He has a daughter what would like a father in her life. Every Sunday he goes to church. (Yes, a Christian Church) not that it should matter. It's amazing that you want to compare what he does, to a man who has nothing to do all day. So Bush did a photo opp with retuning troops. Here is a pic of President Obama meeting with troops. Notice he is talking to a soldier that was wounded in action. Not some that were returning after being "in the rear with the gear". Being "in country" does not mean that they saw action, or were part of that action. There are lots of support military in country. Mechanics, construction, supply, medical, paper pushers and such. As far as finding pics, I'm like bush in the fact that I'm retired and lazy. I found this one in the first place I looked. President Barack Obama greets members of the military at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas August 31, 2010.

What ever it is that they do, they look good doing it.

Court drops 3G bombshell By Usanee Mongkolporn The Nation Injunction order says licence auctioneer NTC itself in transition; Planned auction on Monday hinges on NTC's appeal today against verdict The Central Administrative Court has hampered hopes for the long-overdue 3G (third generation) telecom development in Thailand in the near future with a bombshell injunction on the licence auction scheduled to kick off on Monday. In a 16-page verdict, the court reasoned that if the auction was allowed to proceed as scheduled by the National Telecom Commission (NTC), it would lead to a number of obstacles because the NTC itself is currently in a transition period, awaiting the creation of a new regulatory body. The NTC will today appeal against the court's decision, and hope for a quick, favourable verdict, without which Monday's bidding would need to be called off. NTC commissioner Natee Sukonrat said the telecom body will appeal today. If the court accepts the appeal, the NTC will go ahead with holding the auction on Monday as planned. If the court rejects the appeal, the NTC will stop all auction activities. This could mean a considerably lengthy delay as the establishment of the National Broadcasting and Telecom Commission hinges on a bill awaiting parliamentary approval. The licence auction is scheduled to take place at Evason Hua Hin and Six Senses Spa hotel from September 20-27, with two 3G licences up for grabs at a starting price of Bt12.8 billion per licence. The court's verdict put Information and Communications Technology Minister Chuti Krairiksh in the hot seat and dealt a severe blow to the country's three major telecom firms - AIS, DTAC, and True - which were all set to bid for the lucrative licences. Chuti last night said it was "my fault" to have failed to prevent CAT Telecom, an agency under his watch, from seeking the court's injunction. Citing the 2007 Constitution, the court said there would be a new regulatory body called National Broadcasting and Telecom Commission (NBTC) soon with the powers to oversee both the broadcasting and telecom sectors. To avoid creating future trouble for the NBTC, the court said, the NTC's plan to auction the 2.1G radio frequencies for the 3G mobile services should be suspended. A bill to set up the NBTC is now pending in the House of Representatives following key amendments made by the Senate. The House of Representatives is expected to set up a joint committee with the Senate to consider the proposed legislation, which was earlier expected to be enacted by the end of this year. The joint deliberation could last long, and Chuti himself seemed uncertain if the auction could be called within next year or bidders will have to wait until next year. Observers believe the planned NBTC is unlikely to be functioning until the middle of next year at the earliest when all commissioners are appointed. Although the NTC was given provisional power to fill the void as the country awaits the setting up of the NBTC, telecom analysts blame the NTC for having waited too long. They said that with NBTC close to coming into existence, the current NTC would be perceived more and more as lacking the authority to auction the licences. One analyst also warned that if the 3G auction is postponed for an extended period, telecom operators might not invest more on the existing networks as they have to transfer their network assets to the state concession owners TOT and CAT under the Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) when their concessions end. The concessions of TrueMove, AIS, and DTAC will end in 2013, 2015, and 2018 respectively. Thana Thienachariya, head of corporate affairs and strategy of Total Access Communication, declined to comment on the matter, pending the company's examination of the court order. But he is concerned that the industry would be affected if the auction is delayed. Wichien Mektrakarn, chief executive of Advanced Info Service, said the NTC has to hurry with its appeal. What the private telecom operators can do is wait and see if the court will accept the NTC appeal. Supachai Chearavanont, True Corp chief executive, said he was disappointed by the court's verdict, but hoped the NTC could make the appeal successfully. "If the auction is delayed indefinitely, the country will lag behind in terms of technology adoption." Information and Communications Technology Minister Chuti Krairiksh said he is confident the 3G auction would take place within this year. He added that the government has supported the development of the 3G technology. In a petition filed with the court, state-owned CAT Telecom said the NTC's planned auction was unlawful and could financially affect its concession revenues. The telecom operators that can obtain the licences will migrate the customers from the state concessions to the licences to save regulatory cost. CAT estimated that the state agency would lose Bt15 billion as a result of customer migration to the licences. As regulator, the NTC insisted that it had followed international standards in designing the auction, and had carefully studied the various pros and cons. The auction would benefit the entire telecom industry by promoting greater competition, adding that the NTC acknowledged, however, that this would adversely affect any currently dominant entities that could not improve their efficiency. Justification for the injunction - The court views that the auction could affect the work of the upcoming National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission. - There is no spectrum allocation master plan - The court will also ask the Constitution Court to rule if the NTC has overall regulatory authority under Section 305 of the 2007 Constitution - The court views that granting an injunction now will affect only three bidders. If the auction takes place and later the Constitution Court rules that the NTC's authority is against the 2007 Constitution, this could lead to possible bigger impacts to the related parties. - According to the court, the injunction will not affect the NTC work and the public telecom service as there are already two 3G telecom operators, TOT and CAT Telecom, and the network of existing private telecom operators have already covered nationwide. -- The Nation 2010-09-17

So you are admitting that WMD never existed and the whole Billion dollar a month war was all just a big scam perpetrated on the American people? Did you happen to look up those numbers on how many Americans have lost their lives in Iraq since that scam started? I wonder if they keep records on the number that lost arms, legs and such. Any of your right wing blogs have those numbers available?

Bush showed for a photo opp, gee, that's new. I'm sure that you remember this one also. It's from 2003, back when there were 135 Americans servicemen that had died in Iraq. This is seven years later, care to look up that number now? Bush should be on his knees begging for forgiveness from those solders. By the way, did Bush ever find that WMD?

I just got a warning today. In case you haven't got one, SCB is warning about e-mails being sent asking for banking and or personal information.

No doubt a true story. That's just the kind of man George W. Bush is.

Good advice. It may not help with the motorbikes though. When a car of baht bus slows down, motorbikes go around, with out slowing down and their vision is blocked. I watched a girl get hit by a motorbike taxi in just such a way. The baht bus slowed down to let her cross, the motorbike whipped around and speed up hitting her so hard that she flew completely over the motorbike. The Thai didn't even look back or slow down, he just went on his way like nothing had happened. Pedestrian crossings would be nice. I have my doubts weather motorbike taxi's or the young kids with out helmets would stop for them. Maybe for a second, but with the number of Thai's I see running lights now, it leads me to believe that adding more lights, would just make more lights to run.

it looks like 200,000 key money, and 12,000 for a months rent. (plus one baht?) That would be 212,001 by my estimation. I'm wondering where the one baht sale comes in. What do we get for the one baht? The right to pay key money, and rent?

Ahhh I just farted

Now that is funny.

I understand where you are coming from Ken. I didn't mean to sound so negative, I was really venting about others charging duel pricing, and your post just brought up the frustration with me. Two at 1000 each does sit better with me. I know it's the same amount, and if I brought more than one lady, it would even be more. 1200 for singles, and 2000 for couples sounds better as well. It's semantics, but my own pet peeve. The wording of your flyer just left it to where I read duel pricing. We both know that the "wenches" will be Thai ladies. What I really pissed about is, when I went to get tickets for the yellow submarine, there was a Thai couple ahead of me in line. The girls mother was in town from Issan and she was telling Jane what a nice man the boyfriend was, taking them on an expensive boat tour. I watched him count out 2,700 baht and pay it. I thought wow, expensive, but by American standards reasonable. Then I got up to the counter and asked for two tickets and was told it 3,100 baht. I was in shock, and asked why the other guy paid less for three tickets than I'm being charged for two. I was told very mater of factly that a Thai ticket is 900 baht, and a farang ticket was 2,200 baht. I walked out after a couple of choice words, and using a finger gesture to let them know that I thought that the dual pricing policy was number one. I got to walk out looking like a cheap charlie, while the Thai got to show off, for 400 baht less than it would have cost me. It's been a pet peeve of mine every since, and I just took it out on you. Sorry about that.

Reading your flier it all sounded like great fun to me until I got to the bottom and and found dual pricing. It's one of my pet peeves in Pattaya. It just sticks in my crawl to be charged more for a seat than a Thai, because it's assumed that I have more money. If I have more money, that I should be considered a VIP customer, not an overcharged one. I may have a belly on me, but I have a small ass, and my ass will fit in the same seat as a thai lady. Many places in Pattaya have dual pricing, and I refuse to be their customer. While I have said that before, and had several jump on me saying that I'm missing out by being cheap. It's not the case. The business is missing out, because I'm not cheap. True I haven't been on the yellow submarine, or on a ride at Pattaya park, in Ripley's or to a ladyboy show where they charge more for my seat, than a Thai seat. But I have been on many subs before, and paid the same price as Thai's, I've seen transexual shows in San Francisco that Pattaya couldn't even dream of duplicating, and paid the same price as everyone else. I've been to top notch amusement parks that dwarf Pattaya's and paid the same price as Thai's and everyone else. Ripley's just doesn't interest me enough to compromise my values. I like you Ken, and wish you success in your business venture. But shame on you for being a farang with dual pricing. I could suggest something like Xzyte does. They have a 300 baht enterence, that is waved for me and the lady if I buy a bottle at the door. Inside, I pay for ice buckets, mixers, and beer. They only have one price list, it's the same for farang and Thai's. It's expensive, but it sits better with me knowing they guys at the next table are paying the same price, even though their skin is darker than mine.

Hey glittercunt, you promised to quit posting. When are you going to live up to your promises?

I have this idiot on ignore, so I don't know what he wrote. However, if he died, why is he posting again? Didn't he yet again, just last week promise to go away and quit posting? I seem to remember a farewell headline posted on all of the Pattaya boards from glittercunt. This self promoting pompous ass is like a bad case of the clap. She just won't go away.

Where in the hell did you come from? I don't remember seeing your posts before. However this one should go down in history as a classic.

Found this on another board, it's good, so I thought I'd share. You Know When You’ve Lived in Thailand Too Long When… You think it’s normal to have a beer at 9:00 a.m. You begin to enjoy Thai TV programs. You look four ways before crossing a one way street. You realize that ALL your problems are caused by Thai girls, or cranky ATMs. You put salt and chilli on your fruit. A Thai cop stops you for a minor infraction and you automatically reach for your wallet.. You think that a Honda Civic is a prestigious car. All your tee-shirts are emblazoned with the name of some bar. You can’t remember the last time you wore a suit and tie. You think a polo shirt and jeans are formal attire. Someone tells you that watching Thai politics is like watching two chameleons making love and you understand the analogy. You aren’t upset when the bar girl next to you eats beetles as a snack. Later the same night, you actually kiss the bar girl who earlier dined on the beetles. You haven’t had a solid stool for five years. You wake up in the morning and realize that you have nowhere to go and all day to get there. You think white wine goes well with Som Tam. You understand when your Thai wife says, ‘My friend you’ or ‘Same, same, but different.’ A Thai bar girl you’ve just met tells you that her mother is deathly ill and you just laugh and walk away. You realize that your Thai wife’s loyalties belong to: 1. A royal family 2. Her parents. 3. Her brats from a previous marriage to a Thai scoundrel who deserted her. 4. Any remaining blood relatives. 5. The family buffalo. 6. The family’s goldfish. 7. You. The Thai Navy buys a new submarine and you’re not surprised when the first thing they do is remove the mufflers and hang a garland from the rear view mirror. You consider you mobile phone a fashion accessory. You start wearing slippers everywhere You start driving cars barefeet You no longer enjoy Songkran. Instead, you stay home with a stack of dvds. You become an expert on buying and selling gold jewellery. Dogs become animals you'd rather kick than pet. When driving a car you'll start using every free inch of the road. You flash your 4 indicator lights when driving straight on at an intersection. It’s two days before payday, so you only go to bars with balloons strung outside.. You realize that all the important words in Thai begin with the letter ‘S’. Sanuk (Fun), Saduak (convenient), Sabai (comfortable), Suay pretty). You believe that buying a gold chain is an acceptable courtship ritual, or at least a form of foreplay. You think a calendar more useful than a watch. You go to a Thai Boxing match and a soccer game breaks out. You stand in the shadow of a telephone pole while waiting for a bus. Indian tailors ignore you when you walk past their shop. When you charge a Falang the "Falang price" When english becomes your second language When you call and tell your parents about your sick buffalo When you see a falang and yell "Falang!" Taxi drivers understand you. You are not surprised when the lady who owns the pub asks if you know anyone who will teach her son English. Not only does it not bother you a lady is cleaning the urinal next to the one you are using, but that you also start to have a casual chat with her. You think blondes look exotic You push the pull open door for the 50th time this week and giggle about the experience again Seeing stubble on the chin of your bride the morning after the wedding. You read the subtitles at the movies rather than listen to the english You find that everything you own is counterfeit. When you wait after the traffic light has turned green for four more cars to pass the intersection.

I'm not sure why there hasn't been any mention of Dengue fever in the English language press. Maybe they don't want to keep even more tourist away. Anyway, it's in the Thai language press. I'll give my warning here. I was diagnosed about a week ago. I went to the doctor feeling weak, my body hurt all over, and was starting to get a cough. It's been all down hill from there. I was told that they were seeing many cases of Dengue fever lately. Reading on the internet I found out that Thailand expected this because of the early rains. It' transmitted by the day time mosquito. Take my word for it, Dengue fever will ruin your holiday. Use a mosquito repellent during the day, something that has DEET in it, like OFF. You do not want to get Dengue fever, use the repellent. Here is some of what I found from the World Health Organization. Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. Mosquitoes generally acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. After virus incubation for eight to 10 days, an infected mosquito is capable, during probing and blood feeding, of transmitting the virus for the rest of its life. Infected female mosquitoes may also transmit the virus to their offspring by transovarial (via the eggs) transmission, but the role of this in sustaining transmission of the virus to humans has not yet been defined. Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. The virus circulates in the blood of infected humans for two to seven days, at approximately the same time that they have a fever; Aedes mosquitoes may acquire the virus when they feed on an individual during this period. Some studies have shown that monkeys in some parts of the world play a similar role in transmission. Characteristics Dengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young children and adults, but seldom causes death. The clinical features of dengue fever vary according to the age of the patient. Infants and young children may have a fever with rash. Older children and adults may have either a mild fever or the classical incapacitating disease with abrupt onset and high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, and rash. Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a potentially deadly complication that is characterized by high fever, often with enlargement of the liver, and in severe cases circulatory failure. The illness often begins with a sudden rise in temperature accompanied by facial flush and other flu-like symptoms. The fever usually continues for two to seven days and can be as high as 41°C, possibly with convulsions and other complications. In moderate DHF cases, all signs and symptoms abate after the fever subsides. In severe cases, the patient's condition may suddenly deteriorate after a few days of fever; the temperature drops, followed by signs of circulatory failure, and the patient may rapidly go into a critical state of shock and die within 12 to 24 hours, or quickly recover following appropriate medical treatment (see below). Treatment There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. For DHF, medical care by physicians and nurses experienced with the effects and progression of the complicating haemorrhagic fever can frequently save lives - decreasing mortality rates from more than 20% to less than 1%. Maintenance of the patient's circulating fluid volume is the central feature of DHF care. Immunization There is no vaccine to protect against dengue. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease - in either its mild or severe form - is challenging. * With four closely related viruses that can cause the disease, the vaccine must immunize against all four types to be effective. * There is limited understanding of how the disease typically behaves and how the virus interacts with the immune system. * There is a lack of laboratory animal models available to test immune responses to potential vaccines. Despite these challenges, two vaccine candidates have advanced to evaluation in human subjects in countries with endemic disease, and several potential vaccines are in earlier stages of development. WHO provides technical advice and guidance to countries and private partners to support vaccine research and evaluation.

There are lots of condos for rent at Narin. Since you have a motorbike, it would be great for you. Several internet shops, internet available in rooms, many aircon, lots of food with in walking distance, as well as places to monger, and drink. http://2-thai.com/147_thailand_pattaya_nir...ondominium.html

Not sure which one is best, but Alcazar has double pricing. One price for Thai's, and double the price for farang. That's enough to keep me away.

What is sad, is the white man didn't learn. After fucking up America, They moved to the Pacific islands, where men sat around all day having sex with multiple ladies, and when they got hungry, they sent a woman to shimmy up a tree to get some bread fruit and pineapple. The sailors that first got to the islands, had the time of their lives. It was kind of like Pattaya, only free. Then the religious fanatics arrived and "gave" the heathens religion. It ruined it for all of us.

Do any of your houses have the couch facing the TV? I'm a bit old to watch looking sideways. In an hour I'd be off to get a massage and eating pain pills. Also, someone asked about the bed rooms, I'd be interested in seeing them also. How far from Pattaya would be good to know also. Air con, does that mean in the master bedroom as well as in the living room? Is it a gated community? I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm seriously interested in moving from where I am now. I don't pay attention to "Euro kitchen" Several places that I have looked at really pushed the limits of being called euro kitchen. I'm American, so I'm assuming from what I've seen while looking. Europeans have their refrigerator in another room, and it doesn't need to hold more than a six pack of beer. They don't use a sink, have no use for cupboards, nor cook with anything other than a microwave. If anyone that had an American kitchen, now that would be something to advertise. Still, I'd seriously like some answers to my questions.

Damn, some one whipped your ass and I didn't get to see it. Oh well, it's not like you couldn't use another ass kicking. Didn't you promise to quit posting glittercunt?
