Around 2.00am, Nov 4, a gun fight took place in Cottage Pub (Mum Aroy) car park on Third Road between an 18 year old and a 22 year old. The cause of the fight was a girl and she was also injured in the shoot out. It appears that the 18 year old opened fire on a car containing the 22 year old and the girl wounding both. When the 18 year old ran out of bullets the 22 year old got out of his car and shot and killed the 18 year old. A tragic waste of life and it would seem further evidence that more young Thais are carrying guns.
If you suffer with road rage I would suggest that now may be the time to take some anger management courses. The next time you blow up at a Thai on the highway could be your last.

- An Indonesian and two Thais were killed Sunday when a crowded boat carrying Thais and foreign nationals sank in a canal just outside Bangkok, local police said. More than 30 academics were on a study trip in Samut Prakan province, just southeast of the Thai capital, when their vessel hit a broken electricity pole in the water, police official Lieutenant Colonel Somchai Suvanapot told AFP. "The captain tried to take the boat to the shore but the water leaked into the boat too quick, so it capsized before the boat reached the shore," he said {via China Post]
- Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Paiboon Wattanasiritham has announced plans for a ratings system for computer games and websites, restrictions on internet cafes, and protecting children's personal online information. ''We've found that the disclosure of such information on children in the cyber world is the reason why child exploitation is up so sharply,'' Mr Paiboon told reporters. National statistics show that around six million Thai youths are using the internet today, and the number of newcomers to computer games is going up by 2,500 each month. [via BangkokRecorder]
- I recently recommended Foxit Reader over Adobe Acrobat because it's free and it only takes 3 seconds to open up. Now there's a new kid on the block and it's got the performance of Foxit but with more features. PDF-XChange V iewer has all of the features you would expect from a best of breed PDF reader and includes some you might not expect. Have you ever tried to add a sticky note or type some text on an existing PDF in Foxit? If you have you’ll see a warning that says an “evaluation mark” will be added to the document to signal that you haven’t purchased the program. With PDF-XChange Viewer you can draw, add notes, type text, and do all kinds of things with no unwanted marks being placed on your document.
The tabbed interface is also really nice for when you have multiple documents open. PDF-XChange Viewer has a feature like Internet Explorer 7 where you can view all of the open documents in a grid-like fashion. It will show a thumbnail for each of them, which is often much easier to distinguish between than just file names.
I'm switching to PDF-XChange Viewer from Foxit because I really like this program better. It looks nicer, has more features, and is the same performance-wise as Foxit. [via CyberNet] Tip - Disable the splash screen in Edit > Preferences to make the program load even faster.

- World’s first Ferrari Theme Park to cost around £300 million - We have already seen the name Ferrari with a range of paraphernalia, from laptops to sunglasses to segways. Now, the Italian automotive manufacturer Ferrari and real estate developer Aldar Properties are taking on Disneyland with the Ferrari’s very own theme park. A Foundation Stone Ceremony was held lately in Abu Dhabi to officially announce the start of construction of one of the most multi-dimensional and hotly-awaited themed entertainment attractions in the world, the Ferrari Theme Park. The 250,000 square meter (62-acre) park will open its doors to visitors in the year 2009. A large portion of desert on the island of Yas will be reclaimed and will boast 24 attractions, including a 70-metre high G-Force Tower and the world’s first F1-branded twin rollercoaster ride. Other attractions include multi-format high tech theatres, sophisticated driving schools, Ferrari automotive displays, participatory learning centers, and roller coasters. Moreover, there will be a motor racing circuit designed to host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, posh hotels, apartments, villas, a golf course, marina, and a range of restaurants and shops. [via Born Rich] Ed. Stop overs in Abu Dhabi will be a must when this place opens.
- I'm changing sports to something with fewer holes
- Englishman, Irishman and a Scouser are drinking in a bar when Jesus walks in and sits at the bar. All 3 of them buy him a drink. As Jesus gets up to go he says to the Irishman, "Thanks for the drink, your back is cured ". He then says to the Englishman, "Thanks for the drink, your sight is restored". With this, the Scouser jumps up and runs out of the pub shouting, "Feck off, I'm on disability benefits".
- The Penis wants a raise:
I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:
1-------- I do physical labor.
2.------- I work at great depths.
3.------- I plunge head first into everything I do.
4.------- I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
5.--------I work in a damp environment.
6. -------I work in a dark area that has poor ventilation.
7.------- I work in high temperatures.
Reply: Dear Penis,
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the management denies your request for the following reasons:
1. You do not work 8 hours straight
2. You work in short spurts and fall asleep after each brief work period.
3. You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
4. You do not stay in your designated area, and are often seen visiting other locations.
5. You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
6. You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
7. You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
8. You will retire long before you are 65.
9. You are unable to work double shifts.
10. You are prone to throw up and pass out
11. And if that were not a all, you have constantly been seen entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.
Sincerely, The Management
