Re: PassApp scam

Another scam which I don't think has been mentioned before: (PassApp) driver started the trip/meter about half way between the point where he accepted the job and where he picked me up. It was only a couple of hundred metres so I didn't bother arguing about it, but something else to watch out for.

Re: DIY soundproofing

So you want to build a sound-proof fuck-dungeon? All of a sudden you sound like a dangerous nutter. Airgaps are clearly not much good for sound insulation. How do you think the noise you want to escape (or hide from others) propagates in the first place? You need mass, and vibration resistant mounti...

Re: DIY soundproofing

Why would you care about not upsetting the neighbours by being noisy? They certainly don't care about not upsetting you. Buy some noise cancelling headphones and accept there'll be times when you need to listen to your music, even if you'd rather have quiet. Or neutron bomb the neighbourhood. Sent f...

Maybe, iff you earn >=$2500 per month and are under 50.

Re: Marrying a Cambodian girl in another country

And you don't need anything from Cambodia except a passport and neither of you have to be in Hong Kong for 15 days before the ceremony so Hong Kong wins.

Re: Marrying a Cambodian girl in another country

From what I have read, and what I have been told, it seems when a Foreign man marries a Cambodian girl in Cambodia, it requires a lot of paperwork, which requires a lot of time. So some men dont bother to get legally married, and as a result, their children may have to stay in Cambodia for the rest...

Re: When will my SMART SIM card expire?

Switch your tariff to Smart ExtraLong and your credit and number will stay active for 6 months before expiring. If the number is registered to you and it expires, no problemo, just visit a Smart shop and re-activate it when you return. There is a sliding fee scale depending on how lucky/desirable yo...
