  1. Works for me as far as what I have tried. How is it not working? What did you search for, in which area, and what response (if any) did you get?
  2. I'd venture to say your chances of seeing or being involved in a physical altercation are much higher OUTSIDE of gogos. The reason for this is that gogos do employ security and they are under strict orders to not use violence against customers or the gogos will be shut down by the police. Of course, sometimes, if the customer escalates or if the security guy is having a bad day, things get out of hand, but that could just as easily happen anywhere else. The gogos and night clubs/discos have been put on notice that the police will not tolerate violence against customers, even if the customer is behaving belligerently. Several have been closed for long periods (even several months in at least one case) for staff violence against customers, and the fines are quite high. Customer vs customer violence is rare as well, since, in an enclosed area like a gogo, the staff will put a stop to it before it gets out of hand.

  4. The Hotel Review database was hopelessly out of date and was removed several years ago.
  5. Agreed about liking Justified better. I thought his style of humor and bravado were perfect for that role. That's one of my favorite series..lots of very good script writing and acting.
  6. I'm a fan of Timothy Oliphant...liked him in Deadwood and Justified, so will give his foray into zombie comedy a look, but it's not gotten good reviews from the early episodes.
  7. Pattaya Underpass facing further delays The Pattaya underpass project is set to be even further delayed due to ongoing discussions regarding an unfinished part of the project. The problem facing them is that a bridge at the start of the tunnel that was meant to be built to assist handicapped pedestrians is yet to be started. The rest of the tunnel is pretty much completed, with a few minor issues to be resolved, yet the whole project could be further delayed due to the missing bridge. The deadline has been put back numerous times already, but it was announced that a final completion date would be early February 2017. That date has now expired 3 months ago. A revised hand over date of May 22nd was agreed but it doesn’t look very likely that they will meet this deadline either. Apart from the missing bridge, reports suggest the all other aspects including the lighting, signage and barriers as well as other infrastructure was now 100% complete. The tunnel itself covers 1.9 kilometers along the main Sukhumvit road. The Department of Rural Roads were still in discussions with the contractor regarding the handicap bridge and are looking for answers as to why it has not been completed. The department feel it is important for the whole project to be completed before handing it over, as handing over an incomplete project may very well cause further problems and delays further down the line.

  8. Sense8 season 2 has been released on Netflix, all episodes in one day. I just watched episode 1 season 2, and am, as usual with this series, a bit lost initially. Same thing happened with season 1..but by episode 4 I was totally immersed in the story. It's so different, you need a bit of immersion to stay with it. Season 1 was incredible. It's like no other movie or series I have ever seen, and if you like it, you'll really like it, and if you don't like it, you'll probably hate it. One thing about it though...it's definitely a groundbreaking story and exposition that deserves a look. Some clips from season 1...lots of good action as well as a thought-provoking story with excellent casting. Several of the characters are favorites of mine from Lost. What you see in the clips is that the characters change as the members of the sensate "cluster" share their skills as one person. When a character changes, that person is the one guiding the action. https://youtu.be/ecHtZazIDeM
  9. From http://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2017/05/04/pattaya-taxis-terrorize-woman-mistake-uber-driver/ Now it's come to this...taxi vigilantes surrounding citizen picking someone up in their car.
  10. I doubt you could find even two instances on this forum (possibly none) of anyone mentioning the bad teeth characteristic of Brits. Certainly whatever you find would be dwarfed by the number of Brit moans about the World Series, "Football" not using their feet, baseball/rounders, use of the term "soccer" in the USA (and even parts of your Commonwealth), not to mention coming late to wars.
  11. When are you gonna fix the sign? Is it Pandors or Pandoras? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Movie Quiz #11

  14. When I fill in my arrival card, I just put Pattaya as my address. I wonder if they will become sticklers for a full address at Immigration now. This system tracks foreigners, but does nothing to track Thai people, the vast majority of the likely criminals in the population. My guess is it will not be enforced or complied with after a few months.
  15. It's so goddamned hot and humid!

  16. No, it's not a federal offense as long as it's not during takeoff or landing as required by FAA regulations.If an FA tells you to stop recording or photographing, you must do it while in flight. Gotta obey even stupid orders fun them. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  17. Some crazy people do deserve to get pulled off airplanes by law enforcement In both cases,these women were bat shit crazy...I am surprised that there isn't a provision in the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) that prevents discrimination against crazy people. and this one...
  18. But I want to make clear that this case and Dr. Dao's are totally different. Based on the reports, the flight crew was justified in getting law enforcement involved in this case, since they were actively being disruptive and disobeying valid requests from the flight crew.
  19. Seems they were not staying in their assigned economy seats and were moving to upgraded economy "plus" seating after they were told to take their assigned seats. No sympathy.
  20. Good setup for next season too!
  21. I went to Playboy Cafe and they said they had no bunnies. Glad to see they came back..perhaps it was the hour of day...my visit was late afternoon.
  22. that's what it looks like to me....just using the central median to build a tunnel which is no wider than the surface area. and yea, for just a short distance. BOONDOGGLE.
  23. Correction...just finished episode 8 of season 2...more to come. I honestly thought it was finished and left hanging for next season. I'm happy to see that I was wrong.
  24. Just finished season 2 last night. Fast paced dialog, a look into complex financial moves... I'll watch season 3. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  25. Anyone watched "Billions" (the TV show, not the BM)? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
