Bribes in Thailand
This is not suprising its a way of life from the top down.For those who do not live in Asia it probably sounds a bit strange but you come across it every day.Losing face is the thing and if you upset one (a local)expect the worst.Getting a cop to despatch an enemy ?Easy for a few dollers.Dont believe that ?Try www thaivisa.com ,interesting stories abound.

Nothing to do with Fairy IIIFs but while browsing Google earth I spotted what appears to be a fuselage on Kilimanjaro ,its not the DC-3 that crashedand appears to be about 60ft long.Co-ordinates are 3deg 05.20 south and 37deg 22.53 east.Anyone know what this is?

Remakes
I dont like them at all,or any movie that has “2” after its name.George Clooney said in a newspaper article today that they dont make good movies any more,he reckoned the 60s where best and I wouldnt argue with that we had a different breed of actors then .But thats just my opinion !
