Re: Khmer birthdays, no big deal?
I'd thought I'd read about this somewhere - that traditionally, birthdays aren't a big deal and that most Khmer measure their age by the New Year?

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Just recently finished "The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam" by Max Boot, from the CFR that I mentioned earlier in this thread. I mention this solely to save anyone else who might have been thinking of picking it up. For one, at least half of the book deals with L...

Re: Black Sabbath. Where?
Your best bet is 1970 or so, probably.

Re: Free flow wine and tapas tonight
And nothing is going to change by actively attacking those that try, at least, to contribute sensible postings to this forum. Indeed, your efforts to date are only intended or likely to further reduce those even bothering to come to this increasingly plebian forum let alone contribute to it. I don'...

Re: Free flow wine and tapas tonight
It's your kingdom man, run it as you see fit. I'm obviously still coming here, because you still have some posters here that don't post on the other forum who I enjoy reading. This is still an interesting place. I'm not trying to be a dick, I just think it would be a bummer if OML left because he fe...

Re: Sher-e-Punjab st.130 fire?
Sad news. Whoever suggested that the fire brigade will walk away if no money is forthcoming. In the USA if you don't pay your seasonal council, whatever dues, they'll turn up to a fire, but only douse the flames if you have paid up. A greater crime in my opinion. 1st world country.(No sarcasm inten...

Re: Free flow wine and tapas tonight
I like the Palace Gate Hotel very much even though I've never stayed there - even at their special corporate rate it is outside my budget - I like to occasionally eat and drink there. It is a place for those that appreciate good taste, good service and good food and can afford it and like a place f...

Re: What did you have for dinner?
Oh, that's how we're going to play this, is it? Some ground rules? Food must be eaten and photos taken by us? Or else I'll just post the Deli's own photos... which always seem to come out better than my own :eyes: PS I forgot to mention where the lobster was: Crab & Claw in Bangkok. Casual restaura...

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Great thread! Currently reading For The Sake of All Living Things by John DelVecchio, the same guy who wrote the 13th Valley. I'm finding this one a bit tougher to relate to. It's a bit grim at times. Still giving it a go. Just picked up The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale And The American Tragedy I...

Re: English Vice-Principal of Golden Bridge School, Mark Smith arrested for sex with a 5yr old after FB allegations
Amazing, in light of the coming elections. There was such a strong reaction to his arrest from Khmers, one would have thought authorities would have been impelled to make a strong statement. They must feel they have the election wrapped up, so it's business as usual in the justice system. You think...

Re: Killings
Shocking - An American news channel features more prominent coverage of a massacre of children in America in the immediate aftermath than they do of the ongoing happenings in Myanmar, Syria and Iraq. I'm flabbergasted as well.
As YHF says, TV news is garbage anyway.

This would have to be a K440 record, The thread survived 4 pages before it got derailed onto a topic that has nothing to do with the OP's original topic. Please correct my punctuation if required.

Re: arranging contacts in Cambodian society
My contacts will run you at least twice as much as his vague price, but I think you'll find that it will be totally worth it. Maybe.
