Something is perplexing to me in Vals situation, although I admire his wifes honesty. What happened to hard times you and your wife working through them? Now unlike Val my wife does not go out of her way to show me love everyday, it happens when it happens I also know several couples where the wife...

We have been using a Vodafone GPRS modem since we arrived here in December & on the whole, it is crap but better than nothing as we still don't have a phone line although, we were threatened with one last week when TOT managed to find the First Home Estate after 5 months of trying. We couldn't conn...

Can anyone recommend a good book for learning the Thai language? Not a book..the Linguaphone CD's. I was banned :lol: for years from learning, but 10 years later I am trusted so I can. In 3 months I can shop and at least have a clue as to what is happening when downtown on my own. However, it is sp...

:lol: Isn't it fun how a tongue in cheek can be misinterpreted?? On more serious note....Marcus..it will pass... we all have our ups and downs. Those were out of character and definately non buddhist though! I have to agree however :wink: @ Gary...so will I. You find this a depressing future? Given ...

Go to Romyen3....about 4000 for a 3 bed is the going rate

What do Thai women really want? Are Thai/Farang relationships more about money than love? Are Thai women really interested in us or do they just see us as walking ATM machines? Maybe I'm just cynical but I believe that if most women over here were wealthy then they would probaby not bother with us....

If you have a "freebies" problem..then I feel lucky.They ask for nothing My wife hated the UK ( for the same reason as we avoid the farang in Thailand) ,so we decided our base was Thailand To the OP question..we went back, she was welcomed and missed as a sister, and regarded as sort of rich. But no...

I and a friend went to the Full Moon when I was last in Udon (February this year) and I was horribly disappointed with what I saw. Overpriced drinks, girls that wouldn't come anywhere near you... unless you paid an hourly rate.. and very so so music. To add insult to injury, I tendered a 100 baht n...

Well, what a lot of rants from people that couldn't hold a candle to Her Majesty One of those from Yorkman who voluntarily accepted service in Her Majestys Royal Navy and now boasts of that period of service.I assume you volunteered, because conscripts were not accepted in the senior service. In ot...

That was one sentence.... you need to learn about comma's and fullstops.

Nevertheless, a good comment, getting there.....

So I hear. The 10% however rank it alongside Kennedy Assasination theories (which are IMHO much more believable) and Elvis sightings....

I take your point about being able to start/boot up" directly from the ext HD, though am not sure how I would actually go about that, as the PC boots up from it's internal drive. Would I have to stop it during initial "boot up" with the F something key and then instruct it accordingly? Yes, this wi...

I could reply to your points, but I agree with you.

Nothing to do with U.T.

Lee is right Gary, I neglected to look up...this is the Open Forum

An honest debate is always welcome, as are your views

Because Gary, "their" heritage is based upon accident of birth (in fact they are German...they changed their name in WW1), and Phil the racist (remember the slit eye comments about SE Asians?..like my wife :evil: ) is Greek) A large part of the world embracing them? (the Australians perhaps..they ha...

I personally feel that HM the an individual eclipses Lizzie 2 in almost any respect that matters. A individual by default, that has truly saved his people from disaster on many occasions, exercises a huge restraining factor on various dubious governments, has contributed some of his personal wealth ...

BB, Thanks for the link, useful reading, pity there seems to be no equivalent info for local conditions. I tried to purchase some orange trees in Udon last weekend without any success. Every one told me to go to Loie, buy them there. Adding to that, buy all your plants and trees in Loei IMHO, its a...

If you get desperate Arjay, most ISP's (although I don't know about Thailand) offer a load of "web" space included with your account these days...back some up onto there?? However a USB2 or Firewire external hard drive is easily the simplist route as previously suggested. Cheap these days even with ...

That's interesting, one of the things that has always driven me away from the Apple kit is the lack of flexibility and the price of the software. Under the bonnet as you say is essentially Unix (now), which beats Windows into a cocked hat providing you can get to it! As a piece of superb hardware I'...

That sounds like the classical Thai dodgy business hit...which suggests he might have been a bit of a "minkey"
