Actually on that point what ever happened to that great thread with all the wonderful pics of hot Asian guys, I so looked forward to opening it each morning and starting each day with a hard on smile :-) And getting back on track I laughed on reading the logo for the magazine company - taking PRIDE in Business - but obviously not enough pride to actually research their bullshit editorial it seems !

Damn :-( When I noticed this threads title of gay mazagines cock up I was hoping to open it to find a photo spread feature - no such luck ! :-)

Islam forbids cremation it seems so that's a big no no apparently.

"I do have high hopes that the Supremes will rule favorably on this issue" I was going to say well I wish they would hurry up but then remembered their famous 1967 hit " you keep me hanging on"..........oh wait no, it was the "other" Supremes you were talking about I guess :-)

I'm just surmising but I had always thought it was standard practice and actually a rule that if one of the pilots got up to leave the cockpit for some / any reason that they HAD to ask a steward to come in to the cockpit and take their place whilst covering their absence just in case the other pilot had a heart attack or something equally dramatic whilst at the wheel - or am I mistaken about that ?

What a SHIT ! One guy with a grudge and he's going to screw up so many peoples summer holidays if they don't get the place sorted ASAP. I hope they throw away the key ! - Oh and not to mention he could have killed someone of course ! ( I really should have put that part first I guess before the ruining someones night out at a gay bar part bit perhaps !!! :-)

That of course assumes you're at a stall where they sell both iPhone accessories and also portable idock music players and are also buying from someone who gives a shit enough about a 300 baht sale to rig all that up for you test in the first place. Its certainly worth asking but I'm guessing if I had of asked the shop keeper, Thai or otherwise, I would have been given a short answer perhaps.

Just to answer my own question in case it helps anyone else ( as I've just rang the Apple store to check) - apparently whilst there are many issues re "regions" with Apple and many other products, where stuff you buy here / there won't work in the other place ( to stop you buying them cheap there or here) and exporting them I assume, apparently there is no reason why a simple iphone 5 to 4 adaptor shouldn't work and it looks like the stall in Tuk com were probably selling black market copy duds, which I guess is why they were charging only £6 each as opposed to the £25 each price normally charged here - true what they say "if it looks to good to be true it probably is" so caveat emptor applies as always it seems !

When in Tuk com the other week I bought several iPhone 5 down to to 4 dock adaptors but on getting them home and checking them in several different docking devices none of them work, so is anyone aware perhaps is there a difference in the Asian market adaptors over the UK model ones that would be causing this ? I do know that can be the case with some other iPhone products but was surprised if it stretches as far as simple adaptors? Thankfully they weren't expensive so it's no big deal but I'd just like to know to perhaps save any future fruitless purchases.

Whilst the above may be correct and we'd all like that level of action to be taken I'm sure if we actually knew the number of times this sort of thing happens on many airlines ( without the autopilot switching off perhaps) we'd be horrified and I'm quite sure many in the airline business would see this as unfortunate that it was reported rather than something very rare and as something to be disciplined over but just more a case of them being "unlucky" to be found out - scarily for the rest of us poor unsuspecting passengers perhaps - but what is it they say "ignorance is bliss" - and just one of the reasons I keep my seat belt fastened at all times "just in case" !

petit bourgeoise - the new diet yoghurt that makes you THINK you're SO much better than everyone else when you're dieting and is especially suitable for those that want to end up well hung ! :-)

Actually on reflection we'll reserve judgement on the vote and will promise not yo try to swing the vote in our favour anymore - IF you promise to keep her !!! Just imagine going home a fiver short in your pay packet to her on a Friday night !! ugghhhhh the very thought of it :-)

And just just for Clarity SG if the rest of the former UK states are to be known as FUKS - does that make the rest of us Fukers !!?? - Actually no, probably best you don't answer that one just in case goes in the wrong direction and you all have to come back to us fukers saying you want to remain as we might have taken great offence by then at the very idea of your even suggesting leaving and start building the wall anyway - either way you're still sending the money - right ?? :-)

Well now when it comes to storing bombs you'd think we would have been the FIRST people the UK Government would have looked to as lets face it we have more experience on that front than the rest of you put together !!!! lol

I fear perhaps you are mistaken there FH as what with it being the English building and paying said wall I'm guessing the concrete steps needed to get to the top of the wall to enable the throwing of Haggii or anything else for that matter will be firmly and solely built on the English side only just like in the past and should the Scots feel the need to chuck haggii or deep friend Mars bars over the wall at any point they are going to have to rely on some form of a good old fashioned tried and tested Roman catapult device.

SG said something like "And fear not should the vote be a yes there's no plan to erect Border Controls" Well, on the Scottish side of the border you Scots may think so but I have it on good authority that the English have already started pre-ordering up thousands of tons of rocks and boulders and that planning permission has already been applied for for Hadrian's Wall Mark Two just in case so they can make an early start to THEIR border controls ! :-) * But I'm guessing that would suit the average Scot just perfectly - especially if they got the English to pay for it !! lol

According to several other forums I've been reading tonight that seems to be the widely accepted and most probable cause it seems. Very sad that something as simple as incorrect loading or perhaps a critical failure of the cargo strapping during a "high performance" (which isnt recommended in the 747) can cause the death of seven people. :-(

I wonder what the cause was, the locals are claiming they shot it down but it certainly doesn't look that was from the video anyway ?

Ha January - me too ! So not aprils fools day as quoted on there then :-) Even better, perhaps we'll get that party after all then - but I think seeing as how it's our Birthday that several other board members should attend to buy the drink as there's bound to be SOME rule stopping us having to get a round in on our own Birthdays SURELY ! :-)

Hmmm someone else messaged me about that too - and no I can ASSURE you that that is most definitely NOT me but I've no doubt based on the date of the registration and a terse conversation I had with the person concerned that day who it IS / was, some people must have nothing better to do with their time. I'm also assuming (as he has already publicy stated) that the Scotty Guy isn't Scots guy etc and nor is Lazy Joe or whatever name was used for Joe him either - still it's nice to see that they were kind / lazy enough to give Joe and I the same birthday it seems, we'll have to be sure to meet up in Pattaya Joe and have a big joint birthday party on that date now Joe :-) So, to clarify and "for the record" - no that is NOT me as unlike some people I have and use ONE profile name and I use it on all / any boards I'm on ( and I'm not a member of the BB) as I've better things to do than waste my time snipping and making silly, childish comments for the sake of it on random posts from other boards as I just don't see what purpose it serves. But hey if someone's having fun doing that and gets a kick out of it - good luck to them - "whatever" - lifes to short to worry about such things as far as I'm concerned - but really, get a life perhaps.......

FH - absolutely ! I'm not suggesting that for a second and as I said I guess that's why the while coming out thing IS still a positive thing on a few levels to "state the fact" and show others its "ok to be gay". But as I'd said unfortunately I guess we still aren't just as far along that road of equality and inclusion as some people would have us think, such as the "why do we still need pride parades" or " what are the gays moaning about still as sure they HAVE all the same rights as us now anyway" type discussions that we DO still have to bother coming out at all and so define ourselves as "different" at ANY level - that's what I meant.

Whilst I've no intention of getting into the whole fiscal debate above ( as I'm simply not smart or knowledgable enough to bother) I'd like to just say I hope that Scotland doesn't vote for independence - simply for the fact that the rest of us here in Northern Ireland would miss you :-( I should also point out that SHOULD you go for it and become as rich and as prosperous as SG believes above ( and I don't doubt it actually) I would ask you to remember that WE MISS YOU and would be very grateful if you'd like to ( continue) bailing us work shy Northerners here out with some cash - as even though again SG is right the N.Ireland is top of the Uk ependiture list, I know one thing- I'm not seeing a damned penny of it ! :-( So, the basic message is - if you stay GREAT - keep sending the money - and if you go AWWW we're sad- but we're also we're skint, so could you send us some money ? There I think that just about covers the bases ......but if not and as a sign of good faith for things to come no matter what way the vote goes SG I think you should show good intent and start by sending me £500 cash and we'll say no more about it until after the vote and then we can work out how much more you've got to send after that ! :-)

I'm always torn when I hear about such coming out stories. On one hand on a personal level I'm always very happy for the individual concerned who, for whatever reason, whether that be on a business or personal level, has finally decided that they are ready and / or able to come out and be themselves. However on the other hand it always makes me slightly sad that for all the talk of equality and acceptance that's bandied about these days that coming out still even appears to be necessary in some way as if there was true acceptance and equality the basic fact would be a non issue and certainly not something considered that different or strange that it would justify such huge worldwide news coverage. But I guess though all in all the whole celeb coming out thing is still more of a positive than a negative ( I think? ) as it does basically reinforce the message that "hey look, NOT everyone is straight, some people ARE gay, so get over it" etc, but a small part of me still sighs in despair that there may even be a small perceived need to come out, which apart from the personal life validation it gives oneself is mainly after all just to assist society in defining you so they can put you in their little boxes. And I say the above as an out and proud gay man by the way and not someone who's playing the "my sexuality is no one elses business so I'm not for saying" thing just to avoid coming out ( not that there's anything wrong with that if that's ones choice - I guess) But the whole Celeb coming out thing - I just don't know - good idea or not - what do you think ?

It's simply called Ladyboys - which needless to say doesn't help when you're doing a google search to locate it and get a zillion replies back using that word ! However I've found that if you use Lasyboys series 1 etc that then throws up most of the programmes from series one - also just be aware that as this is a new and current programme type new series TWO episodes that are being discussed here haven't made up on to the torrents / YouTube just yet it seems so you may give it a while for those it seems - unless someone knows differently and can post a link ?

I believe this is the same player who lost / was penalised and made to concede / lose a complete frame the other day in a match when he failed to hit a single ball even when he was entitled and allowed three chances to do so ! :-) Opps ! Saying that he does seem like a real "character" as after the embarrassment he immediately had the crowd up clapping and cheering his terrible play so at least he doesn't take life to seriously it seems :-) Unfortunately it seems though that his entertaining style will be no more, at least in this years World Snooker Championships as he's just been put out of the running after a13-3 defeat, by a Welshman it seems !
