I had the thought, but decided that any kind of interaction with these crooks was ill-advised.

Valid point.

I had an email show up supposedly from DHL (had the logos etc.) saying that my package was being held because they needed my address and phone number. 

I would have replied to get those from the sender as he should have provided that when sending.

I have some photo negatives from 1990. Anything i can do with my phone or scanner to retrieve the pictures. I did try google but would prefer some first hand knowledge. I just need to choose a couple of photos and extract, i don't need large file size/ great quality.

There are negative scanners, but for just a few negatives, that is too costly (unless you can borrow/rent one). 

I think I would frame them, project them on something flat and white (and large enough) and make a photo of that. Most image software can handle negatives. My personal favourite is IrfanView, which is free.

My son bought me one of these for my birthday. Surprisingly pleasant.

That is a very pleasant Japanese whisky (yes, I've tasted it on more than one occasion).

I like a good whisk(e)y, but normally I will limit it to one or sometimes two measures. Unless it is cask strength, I prefer to drink it neat. Cask strength I usually dilute with a bit of spring water. And for mixes I use cheaper blendeds that don't taste too great when drinking pure.

The first time I was in a bar in Thailand (with somebody more experienced, whom I had met the night before in my hotel), I ordered a coke and discovered there was something more in it (Mekong). That soon became an acquired taste. Unfortunately, production of that rotgut has been discontinued. The last time I saw a bottle of it was a couple of minutes ago while taking this photo:

I'd cut the balls off of any or these mother fcukers doing these scams. Despicable pieces of shit.

Now you are making two possibly erroneous assumptions:

1. That they have balls, in my experience about half the scammers  are female
2. That they have mothers to fcuk

For the nerds and geeks out there, remember RPN?

Only used it when programming in Forth. It does have its advantages.

Beginning next week I will head out on my bike before 1000 hrs. I will have a wad of 20's and 100's and I will be looking for targets that I might be able to help, even if for something simple as a cold drink. Fcuk, I don't know what else I can do. 

I can recommend fresh, young coconut, especially from an ice bath.

13,000 baht is 220 baht a night for 59 nights so that should have rung alarm bells!

Yup, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Here is something that I was not expecting to read about today.

Kanye West is looking to launch a porn company. That alone is not all that weird, but he is looking to partner with Mike Moz who is Stormy Daniels ex.

Was having a look at some dates for non stop flights to Thailand the other day, noticed, EVA, Thai and BA on it now.

Can only be a good thing, more competition, not that i've ever flown on them to Thailand.

I have flown on THAI and EVA to Thailand, both are (or at least were when I last flew with them) pretty decent airlines.

The only real problem I ever had with THAI was that the first time I booked with them they quit flying to/from Amsterdam between me booking that direct flight and actually flying it. A quick hop to and a (too long) transfer at FRA solved that problem (without extra cost to me).
