Isn't that the style Sherlock Holmes uses in the movies.... (Although in the books he refers to boxing and baritsu)? Now where did you pick that handy little skill up Bushcraft?..........Let's have your "The Origin of Bushcrat" story.

When I saw it I couldn't detect any difference...........So I'm assuming that unless you go for the 3D option..(which I avoid as the Thai sub-titles jump out and confuse the perspectives)...It isn't.....Then again It could be......Hope that helps.

I've stayed with a girl in this complex. She had a corner unit and I remember thinking how great the balconies were in general. Hers was pleasant to sit in and was practically another room. When her's went up for sale I considered getting it. I think the price the guy is asking is about right. No one wants to live in a box but if you intend to remain single as I do and you want to own.....it's the simplest option if not the best value for what you get. Good luck to the op and fair dos to the guy for the way he endured some of the more negative 'negative' comment. Two negatives make a

I finished LOTR on a hot day in Hyde park just as the Stones came on.........What a Summer! Co-incidently saw the Stones last night on the 121212 concert.....Jumping Jack Flash was looking as fit as fuck. Keith is still breathing. Crowned a day for me that was as good as the one over 40 yrs ago.......Because... ......After seeing 'The Hobbit' before anyone in England....And then having a superb meal in Pan Pan.....I took my 13 yr old son off to the Bali HI Go-Kart track where he got, 'time of the month' (so far).....His 'average' for the 13 laps was faster than the best time that the u

I bought a book only because it was titled..."Exploring Wagner's Ring"

As my exasperated son pointed out as we left the theatre. "it's the same as Lord of the Rings, all that when they could of just got on the back of an eagle and got there" He does have a point!

Both my son and I enjoyed it. It made me think LOTR could have been a 9 parter.

I was reading recently about one of the Beatle entourage who gave Ravi a standing ovation only to discover he'd just been tuning up.

I started another thread about this Thailand came somewhere near the middle out of about 190 countries I think the USA was 18th and the UK just above. In another table out today Thailand was listed 8th our of 158 countries for terrorism danger.

Ps did you know that squirrels swim on their backs ... to keep their 'nuts' dry? So one of last year's Christmas crackers said anyway!!!

In between wives, I stayed in a rented house in Penn, Buckinghamshire...........One morning I opened an airing cupboard to find a 'glis glis' sitting on a pile of my Calvin Kleins......it sat there blinking at me. I got a good look at him and could tell it was nether rat nor squirrel........It was a very rare creature called a 'glis glis' The 'Glis Glis' or fat doormouse is edible........The Roman's loved 'em. In England they are considered a protected species and although a pest, you need to get permission to deal with them. We can thank one of the Rothschilds....(The one that drove a t

Bugger! I don't get back from 10 days in Australia 'till after. I am the world's biggest Beatles fan and to see this tribute band at your venue above any other anywhere would have been great. Maybe if it gets the support it deserves you'll do it again. Hope so.

'Kato' the go go girl that likes to creep up on me works in Alcatraz. She says, 'Now have many many beautiful girls you will like K atlas..... Have big nom from s'silicone I havent been to verify but if silicone is replacing tattoos I'll be pleased. Saw one girl before I flew hereto Australia today with a totally ridiculous 'Gangnam style' tattoo. I'd thought tattoos couldn't actually put me off bit really . Anyway back to 'Kato' she crept up on me yesterday too, no tattoos and unfortunately no tits either. I know rubber udders are not everyones cup of char but if members who frequent

I think I know your....'best bit'.........being a proud Scot! At the point I have in mind, I thought of you and Obsession . "Bet those two'll love that!" Sad bastard aint I? Glad you enjoyed it. I'm off to Australia later today. My son hasn't seen it yet and wants me to take him....so that will be my third showing. Just be interesting to see what my son and the Aussies make of it. ........Didn't see Ronaldo!!! Was it a cameo like Branson in Casino Royale? No you're right about Dame Dench.

My son had it when he came over in August.......'Patient zero?' He coughed and sneezed all over me and as there's only me to take care of him here I didn't want to go down with it too. I took a course of tamiflu as a prophylactic. It worked!

No sorry....You know that if I could ruin the next film for everyone I probably would......But.... ....I read somewhere it's already been written by John Logan who co-wrote Skyfall and that it will be a two-parter with Craig hanging up his pistol before his pecs droop. Most people don't worry much about storyline do they? We know he'll save the day and wear a tux... It just a question of who's playing Bond and is there a girl in it with tits to die for and an arse like an onion........(makes you want to cry). Apparently despite some of the critical reviews here on 'Pattaya Talk' th

Quite right an undeserved -1 for VP I just voted him up to 0 best I could do. Maybe the guy who voted it down has fat fingers and it was an honest mistake.

In the climax to a thrilling pre-credit sequence, Bond is shot from a moving train, ('M's betraying words ringing in his ear-piece..."Take the damn shot"), and thrown in a neck-breaking fall, to the river below. Then, as if to convince us Bond is truly dead, in a homage to Sherlock Holms' apparent death plunge at The 'Reichenbach', Bond's supine body is flushed over a gigantic falls..... We know he's not dead.......The movie's just started for god's sake. The allusion to 'Reichenbach' actually confirms his survival. Conan Doyle had left his readers an obvious clue that Holms would survive.

I don't find anything disrespectful or contentious in Bushcraft's comment. From what I've seen of him on the Board he's not like that. Although it's well known British servicemen did serve and in some cases die alongside our American and Australian cousins in Vietnam..... Britain's youth...previously Involved in Malaysia, Korea, Aden, Palestine, Oman etc were left out of Vietnam, which was, from an admittedly selfish point of view, a mercy. That's all I believe he was expressing in a follow on from another poster. RIP all of them. I simply stood alone in my condo..... not much wa

When Eisenhower was told by De Gaul he didn't want any part of NATO and to get all American servicemen out of France......He responded to De Gaul by asking if that included all the dead Americans buried in French soil.........

I'm in the mood to quibble. 'Skyfall' is entirely relevant as a title. It's where we learn he was born...where he was orphaned and lost his parents...........where his parents are buried and where he buries his own past. And where, aptly, he loses his mother substitute and is orphaned again. You have to 'fall' to be reborn. I couldn't give you any reason for the choice of 'Quantum of Solace' which has a context in the original Fleming short story about an unhappy marriage that Bond comes into contact....... with but it had bigger all to do with the film. The babes are just babes...

So did I. I don't think they labored the Bond is dead theme. Last time that was used Bond needed to get off the radar. This time it was the ' Rickenbach Falls' and Bond is reborn 'Bourne' and rejuvenated. But how you enjoy a film is personal. I was just being 'sarcy' to Jackos lament. However much he's entitled to grumble it's hard for me to concur when this Bond rivals 'Casino Royale' as my personal favourite. We'll all have a different view on that. FYI I rate Russia with Love as number 3.

Yeah...I suppose after 23 odd films it is becoming a bit repetitive!

I was 8....Mr Cook or 'Cookie' was the only male teacher in my primary school on the Lisson Grove. He was ex army and for us boys he was a 'rite of passage'. He turned PE lessons, (which all the female teachers clearly hated) into army obstacle courses with us all forming human pyramids to get over the 'walls' he created out of stage blocks. He also ran the school football team so was practically a God! It was 1960........I know this because every morning he would bring in a newspaper in which it had printed the Longitude and Latitude of the individual competitors in the first ever Single
