A Very Brief Post This Morning,

as we are waiting for a taxi to take us to Bangkok,

first thing as the printer repair shop had not called we decided to pop inti TukCom just in case it had been repaired, the good news was that it had, just that they forgot to call, even better news was that I wanted to buy some new ink, I was told as usual 490 baht, when I asked for the bill for the ink and repair 500 baht! you could have knocked me down with a feather, just 10 baht for the repair, to be fair the last time it failed I now remember the same thing happened I bought the ink and was not charger for the repair that time either, well done Inkman! their main shop is here, but I used the stall between the elevators on the third floor of TukCom,

but onto the aquarium, as we are going to Bangkok tomorrow I decided to do a 25% water change as if we have time we will call into Chatuchak Weekend Market, although it is a week day the animal and fish stalls are open every day except Mondays, we plan to buy a few fish and some food for them, during the day Mark called round for a tea and a chat, we nattered on about stamps issued for the Queen of England's Royal Tour of 1953/4 and the stamps that were issued to commemorate it, in the evening feet up to watch a few DVDs,

Atlantis was first, a beautifully photographed under water film, the only soundtrack was music so you could put your own on if the supplied music was not to your taste,

the History Channel  St. Valentine's Day Massacre was next on our list seven men are brutally mown down, some almost cut in half by the hail of bullets, with the exception of Dr. Reinhardt H. Schwimmer these men were mobsters working under the leadership of gangster and bootlegger, "Bugs" Moran, within a few seconds, while staring at a bare brick wall, these seven men had become a part of Valentine's Day history: the St. Valentine's Day Massacre,

another family adventure, City of Ember, when mankind is about to come to an end, a group of scientists decide to create and populate a city deep underground, the city of Ember is to last for 200 years after which its inhabitants are to retrieve from a strong box instructions to return to the surface, great special effects, I remember watching a BBC series about the same theme, but the population was on a spacecraft which eventually landed ion a new world, I forget what it was called but it was back in the1950/60s,

to round off the evening Supernova, a watchable si-fi movie, Supernova chronicles the search and rescue patrol of a medical ship in deep space in the early 22nd century and its six-member crew which includes a Captain and Pilot, a co-pilot, a medical officer, a medical technician, a search and rescue paramedic, and a computer technician, they find something in space but is it friend or foe? then for us off to bed.
