Thais Approve Charter

Voter turnout of 60% has been estimated as Thais approve the new, army drafted, constitution. Now we can look forward to the messy politics of a democratic election.....

• Stickman in one of his recent posts commented on the stir a 'cherry' girl caused in Patpong by putting said cherry up for auction. It went for 20,000Baht but that cherry's not the point of this post. A beautiful, young girl in the Atlantic Bar was known to be saving her genuine cherry for Mr. Right. A couple of weeks back, Mr. Right walked in the bar in the guise of a young Englander. Not so much a knuckle dragger more a "Fuck me aren't I handsome" type. In the long standing tradition of true English romantics, the young Englander did the barest minimum of wining and dining, (som tam and chips), in order to lure the young girl back to his seedy 3* (just) gaff. Staying true to the long standing tradition of English romantics, the young Englander stretched out the foreplay by washing his pits and scratching his arse. When he removed the young lady's underwear he was astonished to find a sizeable muff. Not so much a landing strip, more a slab of the Amazon jungle on a bad day. Well, not wishing to belabour the romantic bit, the young Englander got his cigarette lighter out and blow torched the lot off. By this point an already nervous young lady is somewhat distraught at the extreme acts of deforestation by Mr. Right. It's hard to believe I know but the cherry was taken that night which says much for the young Englander's powers of persuasion. Either that or she fainted and...... Anyway, the girl is still working in the Atlantic Bar and I suspect she thinks having her muff smoked is standard foreplay. If you bar fine a girl from the Atlantic and she smells of burnt toast when she strips off then you know she's the one. This is not an urban myth, this really happened. If Mr Right reads this we'd be interested to know how you got from the flame thrower to the cherry.

• Tagscanner - I like to have my mp3 tracks fully tagged and with a consistent file name structure, (Artist / Track Title). I have tried a lot of mp3 taggers but never found one until now that handled everything in the way I want it to. One tagger I tried appeared to work perfectly until I realised it had screwed up the none standard tags supported by my music player at the time, MusicMatch. Tags such as Tempo and Mood got wasted and I only realised after a couple of thousand tracks had been effected. Arghhhhhhh.

The Tag Scanner interface looks fantastic and possibly a bit confusing at the same time. The most important parts are the four tabs at the top of the screen which are: Music Renamer, Tag Editor, Tag Processor and List Maker. Functions are:

• Music Renamer:

Rename files with ease using placeholders and tag information. The default format is artist - title which can be easily changed to artist / album / artist - title for instance. Gives you lots of options

• Tag Editor:

This is the manual Tag Editor which is not needed most of the time because of the Tag Processor which does it automatically. In case it does not you can use the Tag Editor to edit the tags by hand

• Tag Processor:

Looks up songs in an online database (you can select a default one in the options), preview the tag output and save it. Change the tags of an album with only three clicks. Offers manual searches if the automatic one did not come up with results

• List Maker: Export song lists as html, csv or excel tables. You can also save and import playlists here.

Additional features include:

• Can save ID3v1, ID3v2, APEv2, ID3v1 + ID3v2, ID3v1 + APEv2 and all combined
• Supports ID3v2 Lyrics and attached pictures
• Import and Create Playlists
• Scans Directories and subdirectories for mp3s
• Able to convert between tag formats
• Case conversions
• Export song list in html, csv and excel format
• Supports online music databases, automatic and manual searches

My criticisms are minor. I could only find my way to "Help" by selecting F1 from my keyboard. The '?' in the top right of the screen only seems to give you basic info on the software. The genres in the drop down list appear to be fixed so if you want 'R&B' you're okay but if you want 'RnB' then you will have to modify the genre manually from Windows Explorer.
