Something foreign by the sound of it Just to be clear, the section I refer to is not visible to people who are already members of the forum, but it is shown after someone first registers on the forum when they view the forum sections.

Did he tell you that? It's right there at the top of the forum (for non-members).

I left mine in the room, acting like I forgot it was Valentines' Day, but wishing her a Happy Chinese New Year. Then two girls working in a neighboring gogo brought me bouquets which were probably seen on the webcam, which my missus watches religiously. I'm in deep doodoo, but by the time she went after me again, I told her Valentine's Day was finished, and I'd take care of her next year. I am such a romantic.

I use 3BB here in Thailand, and it's having lots of problems for the past few days... Page load timeouts, DNS failures.

Good point. The OP might be uploading a high resolution large dimension file that takes a long time to upload. Reduce your photo to 800x800 or so to shorten upload time and make it easier to render on the board when viewed.

If you tried it yesterday, the forum system was having problems. Try again and see if it works now. Sounds like you are doing the right thing to upload a file.

I just couldn't help myself. I opened the thread too.

Pattaya_Freak, good stuff from what I looked at. But, if it is possible, could you in future post a link to the original site where the video is hosted (e.g. youtube), rather than uploading the video to the board itself? That way, readers can play the video in the post, rather than having to download the video and play it. Also, it's always better to view videos in the browser, since there is an issue of potential viruses with downloaded files, especially WMV files which can contain scripting.

You don't know what you're missing.

They don't. I've noticed they all snore differently.

Until a recent Pete Townsend interview, the bookmakers were taking bets on what song The Who would play first. Then, Townsend, in the interview gave 4 songs they'd probably do, which screwed up the betting. http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.as...=180829&t=0

Frosty's an independent person. Nobody I know could afford to be his boss. You, on the other hand, can be had for the price of a couple of draft beers.

Try an FLB bar crawl to meet some other people. The next one after you arrive will be on Weds, March 3. It will be a daytime outing to Ban Chang. See the subforum "FLB Bar Crawls" for information.

And, after you find out it's 25 minutes long walk, you decide to move and can't get your money back for the days you booked but won't stay. Some other guesthouse/hotel was doing that same thing. At least these guys are very up front about it on their website.

I'm not real thrilled by this sentence that appears frequently "No refunds on room rental once paid.". And there is no way it is a 10 minute walk to Walking Street.

You do, but if you straight off start doing the same thing, you might get suspended again. I know you, but can't make a positive identification...yet. However, I will say that I am quite sure you've been here before, been suspended, and have come back. You're not exactly keeping a low profile.

Hillbilly and redneck are quite different in my understanding of the usage. You could google it and get back to us.

In the USA, it would be redneck as everyone knows. Thailand has their own special name for the bogan type, "baan nawk".

I'm just trying to understand boganness.

Sorry, but some of these are seriously funny. No offense meant to any self-described bogans.

Q. What do you call a 30 year old bogan girl? A. Grandma. Q. Why did the bogan girl cross the road? A. To start a fight with a complete stranger for no reason whatsoever. Q. What do you call a bogan girl in a white tracksuit? A. The bride. Q. What's the first question during a bogan quiz night? A. What you looking at? Q. Two bogan kids in a car without any music - who is driving? A. The policeman. Q. What's the difference between a bogan boy and a bogan girl? A. A bogan girl has a higher sperm count. Q. What does a bogan girl use as protection during sex? A. A bus shelter. Q. How do you know if you're a bogan? A. You let your 15 year old daughter smoke at the dinner table... in front of her kids. Q. If you are driving and you see a bogan on a bike, why should you try not to hit him? A. It might be your bike. Q. How do you know when a bogan girl is having her period……. A. She's only wearing one sock!!!

A bogan walked into the centerlink office, marched straight up to the counter and said, 'Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job.' The worker behind the counter said, 'Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful 30 year old daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, and he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips and you will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The salary is $200,000 a year.' The guy, wide-eyed, said, 'You're bullsh!ttin' me!' The Centerlink worker said, 'Yeah, well . . . you started it.'

Davo was bragging to Bazza one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, Bazza called his bluff "OK, Davo, how about Tom Cruise?" "No drama's mate, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Davo and Bazza fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door and Tom Cruise shouts, "Davo! What's happenin?!? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!" Although impressed, Bazza is still sceptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells him that he thinks Davo's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Davo says. "President Bush," his Bazza quickly retorts. "Yup," Davo says, "Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington." And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Davo on the tour and motions him and Bazza over, saying, "Davo, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up." Well, Bazza is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Davo, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," Bazza replies. "Sure!" says Davo. "My folks are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome. Davo and Bazza are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Davo says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." Davo disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Davo emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Davo returns, he finds that Bazza is in shock, surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to Bazzas' side, Davo asks him, "What happened?" Bazza looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said... "Who the *****'s that on the balcony with Davo?”

A banned member still counts as a member in the total count. Admin can delete a member and all their posts too, but that rarely happens because it messes up threads. To ban someone, admin has to open the ACP (Admin Control Panel) and go to the Ban screen, add the member or the IP address. To suspend someone, admin can do it from the offending post while reading the board. It's considerably easier and achieves the same result...no more posts from that userid. And you will know them by their posts. Some suspended members start out reasonably. Some come out with a vengeance, laying into everyone left and right. The latter get suspended right away, the former are ok until they start it again. Some, like Siam Sam, come back and are fine.

I just read "what he wrote" and he says you sent him a PM. If you did, WTF were you thinking? Do you stick your head in a bee hive to see what's inside?
