well British humor is always more understanding and edgy than others Ikks.

As Mr. Bean and Benny Hill clearly prove.

Anybody know if the moneychangers in Angeles accept Thai Baht, and if so what's the rate? For some silly reason I withdraw to much Baht in Thailand, and I wonder if I should convert it to dollars here or wait until I get to Phillippines and convert the Baht to Pesos.

If it is more than the price of another ST then I would exchange it to $$$ before leaving Bahtland otherwise I would do another ST. I doubt you will find a favorable exchange rate at the AC money changers if they even convert. Just my thoughts.

Or, just save it for your next trip back to Thailand. I have exchanged baht for pesos in Manila, but not Angeles. In my case I had to mentally convert baht to USDollars, then USDollars to pesos. The Manila money changer gave a good rate. I had only a few thousand baht and I knew I was not going to go back to Thailand anytime soon. But if you plan to return and do not need the money now, I would just hang on to it.

High Society and Skytrax.

Ultra Disco is another disco. Its about the size of Skytrax, with freelancers and regular girls (I think). Located across the beer garden, near the end of Fields Ave.

Please move this discussion somewhere else. The Angeles thread is one of the most vibrant and on topic in all of ISG.

Stop polluting it please.

There is a Jokes and Humorous posting section. That audience is looking for laughs. Maybe not as many critics too.

I thought it was a fun discussion and read it with interest. Go to the UAE board and you find the likes of Ikks there with a few others who find any reference to color racist. And some of us have to remind the holy righteous what sarcasm and irony is. Even using the word black humor sets some off. The same people who gladly shag African girls in Dubai or worse be scammed by them.

Funny old world but have a look at UAE board (Dubai thread, read me, Cons68, Snow and a few others) and see the reaction to comments made based o facts plus some very nice comedy (well British humor is always more understanding and edgy than others Ikks).

Keep up the good work, your irony / sarcasm and black humor are much appreciated and understood by this monger LOL.

Ikks, forget about trying to explain your little satirical joke to the politically correct crowd. To them you are an apostate sinner, a racist and you must be either converted or silenced. Something is in the air. Better joke tellers than you like Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock have commented that they now find it a drag to perform on college campuses these days because nearly anything can offend student sensitivities. Less well know comedians have had to alter (sanitize) their acts in order to conform.

On a much more serious note, I am sure you are aware of the growing fascism cloaked in political correctness and minority sensitivity invading American college campuses. It is unbelievable. These young little twats even voice their fascism out loud naively unaware of the irony and the danger of their point of view. Free Speech doesn't matter any more if it makes them uncomfortable. Of course insulting others and trampling on the rights of people they disagree with is fine because the righteous true believers are always right and their Utopian ends justify any means. It reminds me of Germany in the early 1930's when young German Fascists burned books they didn't like at famous universities. George Santayana's grave warning comes to my mind. "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

Here is a sample of what I am talking about on college campuses.

And oh yeah, another Islamic terrorist attack today. This time killing 27 innocent people at the Radisson Blu in Mali. But please forgive my political incorrectness. I wrote "Islamic" terrorists and according to the PC police, the mad dogs aren't Islamic. Islam is a religion of peace.

Final comment on the most hated line in my post: "BTW, I notice that Obama often has a bulletproof screen in front of him when he gives speeches. Who are they afraid that he is going to shoot? ". This is actually a social comment (with a twist) on Americans' love of guns and the frequent shooting massacres there. The ethnicity of the USA President is a total irrelevancy. If I you can't understand that, then I feel very sorry for you.

Cheers.

Against the desires of Ikksman I will chip in, but try to keep it short. One of the problems with almost any board of this type is just that: We generally do not know each other, so that first rule is moot. From reading Ikks' previous posts I realized that the offending one was written in jest and rather enjoyed it. Obviously others did not.

Popular forums will, by dint of numbers, contain the stupid, the thin skinned, the insensitive, and the outright trolls; it is an ugly combination in an anonymous group.

First rule still stands more than ever with your affirmation. The same ugly combination can be said about posters.

Seems like you forgot the first rule of comedy. Know thy?

There are whispers that ISIS fighters have been spending their R&aR mongering at AC bars. If this is true it would not be the first time that terrorists have been sighted engaging in the hobby in the monger town. Al Qaeda pilot and 9/11 hijacker, Mohamed Atta, learned to fly ultra-lights at the Angels City Flying Club. He stayed at the Woodland Park Resort Hotel with his fellow 9/11 hijacker, Marwan Alshehhi. Hotel staff reported that Atta was an avid monger and rooted a different girl every night.

In 2002, scores of Aussie mongers met their end in Paddy's Pub and the Sari Club in Bali, Indonesia when jihadists blew them up. With ISIS having a presence in the Philippines mongers might want to be extra careful as the Aussie Embassy has been warning that "terrorist attacks can take place at any time and place in the Philippines. " ISIS has realized that killing Westerners outside of the Middle East brings far more publicity and spreads more fear than killing Arabs. This means they're likely to continue this trend. AC has mongers from all of the countries currently bombing ISIS in Syria and Iraq. This makes it an attractive soft target, as blowing up elderly Westerners having a root with prostitutes is probably seen as having high propaganda value to radical Islamists.
