Chicken is definitely off, over here (Bangkok).
Most shops are not selling chicken at the moment.
And KFC which use to be packed at lunch time is now empty, I think they may have to change the name to KFP(Pork)(The Cornals New Recipe).

You forgot to answer my question about warantee and what are the side effects, will I start trying to assimilate people, and will this be short term or long term. Also how many people are in the Borg Collective.

The bird flu is also up here in Korea, but not quite like in Thailand. I don't think it has scared anyone off, I've been eating it.

I would also be careful about advertising those Borg Spare parts here on KICKAS, as you may have a stampede of people ordering them.

I have eaten the chicken here in Bangkok as well, but it is getting hard to find. Most resturants are not serving it.
It appears the Thai's have reduced their chicken intake.

"Looking for a bicyle punture kit first, and I'm not sure about 2 atmostphere's not first thing!"

Well if you eat carefully, I think 2 atmospheres should be enough, but if you get stuck into a hot curry with eggs, onions and beans, I think the gut may reach 4 or 5 atmospheres before release.

I'll send you a jar of chicken tonight......and a picture. Bet you are not missing it after all the chicken roasting.

I did a search on the Borg collective, Star Fleets databases had problems on the google interface and are currently running cross matches with the Klingons. The laugiage sets are proving lengthy.

My ebay dealer is currently checking out the warraties, he thinks he's found some interesting nano technology, but he fears this may contravine the Prime Directive.

He's sending me a new encryption alogorthm as he fears that it is to sensitive to discuss. Did I mention he is a farangy, can't trust him!

Have you seen any farangies lately?

We asked 7 of 9 but she withdrew to her cubicle, and started recharging.

Well, technically speaking, I am close, here in Thailand, Foreigners are called Farrangs, pretty close.

OK - how many bars of gold pressed latinum did you have to pay that Ferengi. And no, I would not trust him, especially if his name is Quark and runs a bar on Deep Space Nine.

Nano technology sounds interesting.

And Ferengi's do not follow the Prime Directive, only Star Fleet Officers follow the Prime Directive, Ferengi's follow the Rules of Acquisition.

Actually, that reminds me of something else here in Thailand.
My Girlfriend had to get a Medical Certificate for her work permit, guess what, she had to queue up as an Alien, and got a Defect Free Certificate.

Don't you like it.
Wayne

So,

Very similar to those in IT outsourcing
