How about we pick one finger? Pinky? Or, Thumbs. LOL I have been called that one more than one occasion.

I love Glen Close and Damages and they have gotten some great characters over the years like Martin Short, Ted Danson, etc. This season, John Goodman seems to be one of the core characters. I loved him in the first season of Treme and wish he was still there. I was surprised when I watched Damages last night and John Goodman was there! Welcome back to a great show John! We missed you!

Flash. Long story! But, I was called that as a kid and I kind of miss it.

In the list of g's "guns, girls, gambling, ganja and gorgeous beaches" as reasons for picking Thailand, I am glad they didn't include gays. It is obvious many flee here as it is easy to live if you have money. However, I wonder how many criminals are deported from the USA every year?

I am jealous as I want the Samsung myself. For the videos, why not use the wifi in your home? It would be 100 times faster I think and few if any issues.

You might like it. But, it is only going to be good if you start from Season 1. If you don't like it then, you never will. I have friends that hated it. Said it was the worst thing on TV. I love it and it is one of my favorites. But, I also liked The A Team!

Lucky, this show is dark and even darker than most imagine. The first episode this season was amazing. I just love the show.

I often hear conversations that I would love to join in and chat. My ADD often gets the better of me but I have learned to control it and mind my own business. I would not have interrupted anyone that I did not know. However, I am fairly easy when someone else wants to join in on my conversation. It does not bother me in the least bit. I would have thank him for the card and threw it away as I was leaving. But, I would have been nice about it. I tend to be nice even if I am pissed off and then regret not speaking my mind later in the day.

Thank you so much for the heads up! I have not heard of this and will try to find it and watch it.

Pattayamale, what are you using this for? IPhone? IPad? Internet surfing? Have you tried the various services and found them good? bad? I used 12Call for Unlimited Blackberry and it worked fine for me but I was mostly using it for e-mail and Internet. I never downloaded massive amounts of data.

Richard's is closing!

My partner and I have been working hard to effect some changes on the site. We will be rolling out two of these changes in the next week. The top advertising banners on the site never took off and after almost one year, we have decided to change this area. The City Guide listings are old and outdated and needed to be revamped. We have completed the code for this area and will be finishing some beta testing this week and launching it very soon. The area will be incorporated into the forums and will allow us to keep better tabs on closed businesses and remove them from the listings. We have hired a group to redo the profile area of the site and they have been working on this area. It is not yet completed but will be done by end of August. We want to thank the members of the forum for all their support. We hope to continue to grow the site this year and in the years to come. Best Regards, Scooby Please take note of the announcement regarding the server move. This will be done next week and may cause the site to be down for one day.

Lesson 9 of 10 Lessons Learned by a Traveler to Gay Thailand If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. I get so tired of people complaining about the boys in Thailand or there are too many ladyboys or not enough "man boys." We all have our preference and while I may not like the same type of boy that you like, there are those that will like that one boy on the stage you would never go with. If you can't find a boy in the bars in Thailand, whether it be the Pattaya gay bars in Boyztown or in Sunee Plaza or in Bangkok's gay boy area, then you are too fucking picky and need to go back to Iowa. That is the same place where the leading Republican's in the next Presidential race are gaining ground when they talk anti-gay. Thailand is paradise. There are tons of sexy boys out there. Get off your ass and find it. If you have gone through all the boys you like and you only like newbies, then rent a car and drive across the country. Don't complain that there are no virgins in town. Don't complain there are too many ladyboys in the bars. It is OK to go to a bar and give a report that the place was slow, no cute boys on stage, etc. But, if you don't find what you want, go to another bar or jump on gayromeo or another hook up site. You will find a boy faster in Thailand than in any other place on earth. And, if you can't get the boys to go with you, perhaps you need to understand that perhaps you are just an asshole. The boys talk and the avoid the farangs that are cheap charlies or that treat the boys bad. I agree that the quality of the boys in the bars have gone down. But, still, I have been out at least 100 times this year and there is not one time that I was unable to find a boy I would be happy with. But, I also don't limit myself to one bar or one area. If Boyztown doesn't have a boy I want, I'll head to Sunee. If I can't find one in the bars in Sunee, perhaps my diabetes is getting the better of my eyesight. In order to keep the boys flocking to the bars, it is up to us to treat them like the true gems they are. Treat them well and be kind to them. In return, you will be introduced to their friends and family. Every time I have said to the boys I know, "there is no one here I want to go with." They always say, "I have a boy for you, you want me to call him and we meet him for drinks." Why? I am good to the boys I am with. I treat them well. I pay well. I show them respect. I have never once treated a boy like a piece of meat. I treat them like they are the most important thing on earth (even if only for one night).

Breaking Bad hooked me on the first episode. It is most defiantly my crack!

Do you think Rebekah Brooks knew about the phone hacking? What will happen to the Murdochs and the rest of News Corporation? I think Rupert's wife said Rebekah was an evil bitch for destroying their empire (or something along those lines). Will she turn in Papa Bear or Baby Bear?

Lesson 8: 10 Lessons Learned by a Traveler to Gay Thailand Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." There are many big things to see in Thailand that one must do. The King's Palace in Bangkok, the Tiger Farms, Elephant Rides, etc. But, the way to truly experience Thailand is off the beaten path. Go with your boyfriend or a good Thai friend to their hometown and spend a weekend. Meet the family and get to know where the boys live. Eat food you have not eaten before, get drunk at Karaoke one night and let loose. My bike trip from Chiang Mai to Phuket was amazing to me as I went through at least 100 places that most people that travel to Thailand never get to see. Not because they can't see it but only because it is not in the Trip Advisor guides. I hiked the highest peak in Thailand, went inside temples of vast beauty from ancient days and met people that rarely see someone white. The Ubon Candle Festival is a must see if you are in Thailand at the right time. Experiencing Loy Krathong outside of the major tourist places is also quiet charming. People that think Thailand is all about eating the Sunday Brunch at the Intercontinental or shopping at Siam Paragon are missing out on the true magic of Thailand. Don't get me wrong, I love the brunch at the Intercontinental and I love shopping at Siam Paragon but those are not things that are typical Thailand. As Thailand is becoming more and more westernized, there is still so much to see that has not been tarnished by our hands. Take a train ride to Chiang Mai the next time you go as opposed to flying. When you go to Hua Hin, hire a bike tour guide to take you on a day trip around the area that is so full of beauty. When you go to Phuket, hire a long boat to take you to a deserted beach and spend the day relaxing and reading. For those that are retired here, spend some time every year doing something you have never done before. Go on a trip to a city you have not been. The Thai people are amazing and they welcome you everywhere.

The beach sand is great for walking or jogging. It is easier on the joints and your heart rate is higher when exercising on sand. It is a win win. But, get up and finished before 7:30 in the morning is not possible for me. I have tried and had little success. One day maybe I'll be able to do this! There are lots of gyms in Pattaya. California Wow at the Avenue is great. Tony's is very good and has many locations. The Marriott also offers memberships. There is always a place to work out in any city. It takes a bit of research to find what you like. I like the Marriott as it is quite and small. California Wow is loud and I can't think when I'm there but I still go there when in Pattaya. I hope our stars align one day are are able to meet up!

I agree Lurker. But, isn't Marco excellent?

And, his darling Rebekah Brooks has just been arrested in connection with the scandal. She had an interview with the police and when she showed up, they arrested her on suspicion of corruption and phone hacking. This was the lady that Rupert flew to England and made his top priority. Looks like the dominoes keep falling for poor old Rupert.
