    Bars in and around Soi Nana have been told it’s back to business as usual from today as far as closing times go by Lumpini police, who declared to bar bosses on Tuesday it was early closing for two weeks.

     

    It seems whatever reasoning they had behind their decision for early closing was scuppered when a blog made ridiculous claims the order was city wide bringing unwanted attention to local activities.

     

    It was apparent last night there was no order outside of Lumpini as bars and clubs in Patpong, Thonglor and RCA all closed at their normal times.

     

    To confirm, bars in and around Soi 4, including Nana Plaza, will return to normal closing times, effective immediately. Everywhere else in Bangkok is operating as normal, as they were all along.

    For passengers flying into La Guardia Airport, the majestic New York City skyline cannot help but command attention.

    But for pilots, especially pilots landing planes on Runway 13, it is the Flushing Bay that looms large.

     

    That runway, one of two at La Guardia, is a 7,000-foot stretch of asphalt and concrete, partially laid on steel piers that extend out over the water. The runway can freeze fast in winter, but even in good weather, there is little room for error.

     

    On Thursday, at the height of a snowstorm, Delta Air Lines Flight 1086 touched down on Runway 13 shortly after 11 a.m., veering out of control almost instantly.

     

    It skidded off to the left and then careened up an earthen berm, crashed through a fence, and came to a stop just moments before plunging into the frigid bay.

     

    None of the 127 passengers and five crew members were seriously injured, but many passengers described a few harrowing minutes.

    Steve Blazejewski, who was in a window seat on the left side, said the plane felt “out of control” almost as soon as it touched down. He said it seemed to veer at an angle of about 20 degrees as it bumped along the runway.

     

    “We were skidding forward but veering off to the left,” said Mr. Blazejewski, 39, a real estate executive with Prudential who was traveling on business from his home in Georgia. He said he began to worry as the bay quickly got closer.

     

    “I said to myself that we were going to go into the water,” he recounted in a phone interview.

     

    He said he recalled the US Airways flight that landed in the Hudson River six years ago. Then, because he was sitting next to an emergency exit door, he said, “My next thought was: How do I get this door open?”

     

    Mr. Blazejewski, a veteran of the United States Navy, never had to answer that question because the wing beside him was damaged. Flight attendants guided him and the other passengers to exit onto the right wing, which also was damaged, as were the plane’s nose and tail, he said.

     

    Several other passengers took to social media even before they had escaped the plane.

    The Plumber

    Welcome back Terry the Plumber!    :drinks:

     

    But I got her name completely wrong.

     

    Her name is Lola.

     

    Lita also told me tonight that she has a ladyboy on staff named Hana who she claims gives the best head in the history of Pattaya!   

  4. Neb is referring to Facebook Groups.

     

    We delete cock pics from the Facebook Groups that LBR operates as Facebook will shut down these groups.

     

    I suppose one one level, a guy posting a cock pic is just making a blatant invitation to cam sex.

     

    But I think it might go deeper than that.

     

    Even before Al Gore invented the internet there were real life flashers.

     

    I think the psychological makeup  of Facebook Cock Picers may be similar to these olden day flashers. 

     

    Of course the stakes are lower.  You don't go to jail for posting your cock on Facebook.

     

    Here is a rather typical cock that I deleted an hour ago.

    (Bloomberg) -- Thailand’s central bank may cap a rally in the baht, Southeast Asia’s best-performing currency this year, to protect exporters, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

     

    The baht has gained 1.6 percent against the greenback in 2015, heading for the biggest quarterly advance in two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A Morgan Stanley trade-weighted index for the currency is near a 22-month high, while the balance of payments, a measure of international cash flows, moved to a surplus in January for the first time since July.

     

    “The central bank is likely to be more attentive to the effect that the trade-weighted baht appreciation will have on export competitiveness,” Jonathan Sequeira, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a report Tuesday. “Appreciation pressure will likely be mitigated by an increase in reserve accumulation over 2015.”

     

    There’s a risk that the central bank will react to the currency’s strength as the nation’s exports are sensitive to movements in the trade-weighted index, with a time lag of between four to eight quarters, Sequeira said.

     

    Thailand’s foreign-exchange reserves climbed to $157.3 billion last month, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Morgan Stanley’s trade-weighted baht index has risen 2.8 percent this year to 114.85 and reached 115 last month, the highest since April 2013.

    Finance Minister Sommai Phasee said in February that no measures were needed on the baht and he wouldn’t put pressure on the central bank to lower borrowing costs.

     

    Thailand’s balance of payments reverted to a $719 million surplus in January, from a $16 million deficit the previous month. The Bank of Thailand reported a $2.5 billion excess in the current account, part of the overall balance of payments and a fourth straight monthly surplus.

     

    The balance of payments could remain in surplus by a range of $5 billion to $10 billion this year, which will likely be constructive for the baht, Sequeira said.

  6. Is that a drunken educated guess trying to sound Italian? :biggrin:   We have to give it to him ladies and gentleman for effort alone.  The correct spelling is  Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino.

     

    No beer tonight.  I'm over budget for the week.

     

    I figured it must be torino but figured it was spelled Turino since in Engish Turin.

     

    Thought car was machina; maybe it is

     

    And factoria sure sounds right; maybe it's espanol/

    A Brooklyn man was charged with manslaughter on Tuesday in the killing of a transgender woman who died after a vicious beating in Harlem in 2013, a crime that galvanized anger among transgender people in New York about violence directed toward them.

     

    The arrest of the man, James Dixon, 24, came after an 18-month investigation of the attack on Islan Nettles that included the earlier arrest of another man who was present but turned out not to be the assailant, prosecutors said.

     

    Mr. Dixon, of Classon Avenue, pleaded not guilty to first-degree manslaughter and related charges in State Supreme Court in Manhattan. He was sent to jail by Justice Robert M. Stolz to await a bail hearing next month. His lawyer, Norman Williams, declined to comment on the indictment.

     

    An assistant prosecutor, Nicholas Viorst, said that Mr. Dixon had come forward just days after the attack and made statements to detectives acknowledging that he had beaten Ms. Nettles.

     

    Still, it took the Manhattan district attorney’s office a year and a half to find witnesses and build a case against Mr. Dixon, in part because there was an earlier suspect muddying the picture. “These are some pretty unique circumstances,” Mr. Viorst said.

    Islan Nettles

    Just after midnight on Aug. 17, 2013, Ms. Nettles was walking on Frederick Douglass Boulevard with two transgender friends when they encountered a group of at least seven young men, Mr. Viorst said. The groups walked south together and a shouting match erupted between them.

     

    Mr. Viorst said Mr. Dixon “abruptly struck” Ms. Nettles in the face with a closed fist, knocking her to the ground and slamming her head on the pavement. He then leaned over her and pounded her head with his fist, ramming her head repeatedly into the pavement, the prosecutor said.

     

    Ms. Nettles, 21, an assistant at a fashion company who aspired to become a clothing designer, was battered beyond recognition. She lingered in a coma for less than a week before being taken off life support.

     

    Hours after the attack, the police arrested Paris Wilson, 20, of Harlem, who wore similar clothes and bore a resemblance to Mr. Dixon, Mr. Viorst said. Both men had been in the group.

     

    Three days later, Mr. Dixon visited Mr. Wilson at his home and promised to take responsibility for the assault, Mr. Viorst said. Then Mr. Wilson’s mother escorted Mr. Dixon to a police station, where he made statements acknowledging it was he who had assaulted Ms. Nettles, Mr. Viorst said.

     

    Those statements, though incriminating, did not immediately clear up the matter, prosecutors said. Witnesses had identified Mr. Wilson as the attacker and no surveillance cameras captured the crime, law enforcement officials said.

    Charges were eventually dropped against Mr. Wilson in November 2013, and investigators continued to look for evidence, prosecutors said.

     

    The case was presented last week to a grand jury, which voted to indict Mr. Dixon on first- and second-degree manslaughter charges, as well as first-degree assault. The jury did not charge Mr. Dixon with murder, which would have required proving he intended to kill Ms. Nettles.

    Though the police initially said the attackers had taunted Ms. Nettles with gay slurs before the attack, the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., did not seek to charge Mr. Dixon with a hate crime.

     

    Asked why the district attorney did not seek a hate-crime indictment, Joan Vollero, a spokeswoman for Mr. Vance, said that “the grand jury considered all of the available evidence when making its charging decision.” She did not elaborate.

     

    A hate-crime indictment would have required the prosecution to prove Mr. Dixon’s motive for killing Ms. Nettles was that she was transgender. Investigators have not been able to determine what was said before the first blow was struck, law enforcement officials said.

     

    Ms. Nettles’s killing incensed the transgender community in New York and prompted vigils, protests and the formation of an advocacy group, the Trans Women of Color Collective. For many, Ms. Nettles’s death became emblematic of violence against transgender people, who are often the targets of beatings, and what many of them see as the indifference the authorities show across the country to the killings of men transitioning to women.

     

    Lourdes Hunter, the director of the Trans Women of Color Collective, said the long delay in bringing charges against Mr. Dixon reflected the low priority such cases have among the police and prosecutors. Ms. Hunter also questioned why the attack was not treated as a hate crime, because no motive other than Ms. Nettles’s sexual orientation had been suggested. She also wondered why Mr. Dixon was not charged with murder.

     

    “Really this was murder,” Ms. Hunter said. “He intentionally pummeled her to death.”

  8. Bad luck for the bar that it happened when they were supposed to be closed.

     

    Bars got a police letter to close at midnight.  Walking around town, while bars did not close at the stroke of midnight, many seemed to be closing around 1AM.

     

    I suspect today will be extremely dry with very few exceptions.

  9. Popped into Rompho late last night.

     

    Mint Bar near the front of the complex had 5 ladyboys including Dao ex-Sally's.

     

    I personally prefer the bars near the back of the complex as the front bars are more crowded.

     

    Some of the Mint Bar ladyboys are pushy for ladydrinks "by Rompho standards".  This doesn't mean they're very pushy since there is little ladydrink pressure in most Rompho bars.

  10. I'll also mention again that a great strategy for US citizens before a trip is get your doctor to write a 30 day prescription for Daily Use Cialis.

    Then go to the Cialis website and download the coupon for a 30 day free trial.

    Take the 2 to a pharmacy, bada-bing bada-boom, you've got 30 tablets for free.

    You can get a coupon once per year. 30 tablets actually lasts me the entire year.

    I like the Daily Use better as fewer side effects; only lasts 36-48 hours but great value.

  11. Hi everyone

    My name is Newbie Kittycat. The Fatcat is in the UK for his medical treatment now. So, I will be the one who is going to update the bar’s events and photos. 

     

    Here's hoping all goes well with Fatcat's medical treatment and wish him a speedy recovery and quick return to Darkside!   :biggrin:
