Believe it or not, there is a whole other world outside of Cambodia and South East Asia, be it people or politics, frustrations or football, this is the place to talk about it.

What about Keeping it Riel? I think he does a great job.
I like Andys posts also. However I don't like the way he has a personal go at me any time I point out obvious flaws in some positions he takes. It almost schoolboy bullyish but in a pointless way.
- Drawing proper attention to the anti-Viet CNRP fervor that everyone else seemed to ignore - especially given the outstandingly disgraceful navel gazing by the Cambodia Daily.
- Recent election coverage generally
- The Morrish affair and SMH publicity
- Mr Pig's tremendous translations of carnage
- Fletcher
- Wilcox
- That grubby fucker who loved penning horrific sex fantasies, tracked down in Siem Reap
The group of posters that I mentioned are frequently the ones who provide info from the front of a quality 1000 times better than the local rags. Sometimes it is embarrassing how long it takes the local rags to catch up.
I like Vikings. When they overcome their infighting, they should set sail to fuck up England.
Some of my family roots are from Viking settled territory.

Found the best to be series 4 Underbelly Razor- Is a thirteen-part series detailing real events that occurred in Sydney between 1927 and 1936. The series depicts the "razor gangs" who controlled the city's underworld during the era and the violent war between the two "vice queen" powers, Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh.

If you like Australian cop shows you might like Blue Murder. I can't find a good torrent for it yet. It is on Youtube:
Part 1
Part 2
It is based on a true story. Set in the 1970s and 1980s in Sydney, the miniseries concerns the relationship between controversial former Detective Roger "the Dodger" Rogerson and notorious criminal Arthur "Neddy" Smith. Rogerson and his colleagues were accused of giving Smith a "green light" to commit crimes without Police interference, with the relationship fraying when Rogerson orders hitman Christopher "Mr. Rent-a-Kill" Flannery to murder Police Officer Michael Drury. The murder of prostitute Sallie-Anne Huckstepp also features.
My small claims to fame. I knew Mick Drury. They had given him an easy job in the Radio Room after all the stress from his undercover work. He went on to be a Superintendent. I think the actor they used for Mick looked a bit wimpy. I found him to be a real gentleman. At least to minions like me. (In those days I was doing Security for the NSW Police. What they called a Special Constable - Security. In NSW they're used as a cheaper alternative to a fully trained police officer but they need more than the run of the mill Group 4 guard. Most of us working there were ex-Military studying to upgrade our education to get into the cops, ambulance or the fire department.)
I also saw Neddy Smith when he used to come on occassion to the Independent Commission Against Corruption when I worked there. He was always correct in dealing with us. After all we could piss in his coffee. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a dark alley alone with him in those days though.
When the Technical Service Branch in Sydney was being closed a detailed search of the building was carried out. They found several shotguns in an old tank related to the 'sump pump'. Probably leftovers from Neddy Smith's robberies.
