Bangkok hit the news today because some bombs exploded there today.
The full Brett Ryan dialogue can be read on a page in the pages above the links column on the right of this page.
Helen Kogan -
Am reading up on your blog site.

Helen Kogan -
1) I never at any point told Ross that I like his sense of humour
2) After too long of travelling and yoga being the closest thing to exercise, I fear I would be an inadeqaute co-jogger on my visit to Oz. A beach speed walk with no trainers (had to ditch them - only have flip flops and hiking shoes) would be magic though.
3) Alas I don't drink coffee... but you say the word tea (chai even) and I'm there!
3) My publishers son is called Oz! I ask you who calls their son Oz. But as I was wondering if I should make the trip over - that popped into my mind. And then soon after as taxi drove through street of Kolkata, I saw a registration number plate BR 911 569 (or some other numbers that all added up to 11)
4) See point 1) again.
5) I can't work out how to add to your blog site. Like Pooh bear - I'm remain a bear of little brain. Hence email.
6) See point 1) again.
Thanks.
Ross Kelly -
Funny you should bring up point 1.
I just updated Brett's dialogue and as I was doing it I realised you were going to catch me out for lying because I told the man that you had a great sense of humour. You have to understand that I did this IN YOUR FAVOUR as I figured you would be missing the attentions of xxxxx by now.
I will always look after your best interests that's what friends are for.
Helen Kogan -
And!
7) If I could get rid of my extra FB profile I would but the bl**dy system seems intent on me having two.
Grrrr.
Did I mention point 1) ?
You are doing me no favours (not from this distance - whatever your male perception of length is).
Me and xxxxx are just friends. Long story, I have no doubt you are not interested.

IT'S dENIS AND I and how did you know I was referring to him?
Helen Kogan. -
Like I don't know your infamous sense of (ahem, dare I call it) humour.
Funny - he always wondered why there was only one 'n' in his name.
Thought you might like that observation.
He's a great guy. We are just in different places and having to do our own thing.*
*Just see, if you can resist commenting in anyway, shape or form, even for your pulse rate to not change with excitement and anticipation of how you could ridicule the above line.
I bet you can't resist....
Can you?
Go on....I believe you can hold back.
Yes I really believe in you....
Resist Ross! Resist!
Ross Kelly -
The thing that I reckon is funny is that I sent all this to Brett and that in turn means ... you and xxxxxx... are famous!

6.2-magnitude earthquake strikes Samoa

That 'error' connecting you to Bangkok today was put on the blog a week or two ago.
Interesting, the two BANGS because there was a bombing in BANGalore at the weekend, where you came from a little while ago.
Rosss Kelly April 22 at 8:07pm
Notice how yesterday's Sheepie link on the day of that quake was linked to SAM and that it was dated by today's date by Yahoo..
UPDATE: 8.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Samoa
USGS reports that a 8.1 magnitude earthquake killed at least 149 people killed in Samoa, 34 people in American Samoa and nine people killed and four injured on Niuatoputapu, Tonga.
Note that it says American Samoa, The place that was first linked to Sam and Helen last year,the odd thing is I can't find it on the BBC news.
Here's where the report is - http://www.wifr.com/news/headlines/91734774.html
If it's an error it's a bloody well timed one just like Helen's 'flight to Bangkok'.

The main point in all this is that it links to two topical subjects Earthquakes and Martial law.

Helen -
Thought this morning I'd like to go and see Max (after seeing his films, my experiences in Kolkata and questions arising).
The day was then inundated with crows. One almost flew into me and one flew alongside my cab. And a whole gaggle/pride/bunch of them in front of me as I drank my tea.
Travel agent say to avoid Bangkok so now to Oz on the 26th
(BTW opened up Skype today and the call phone section was set on the Oz dialling code - last person I spoke to on Skype was in US)
As the travel agent told me where I could travel in Oz he pointed out a place where 'if I was interested in those sort of things' Mad Max was filmed.

Second quake shakes Samoa and Tonga
Posted at 21:06 on 22 April, 2010 UTC
A second earthquake shook Samoa and Tonga this evening, about 11 hours after residents were awoken by a mild tremor in the morning.
The United States Geological Survey said the evening quake had a magnitude of 5.2 and was centered just over 100 kilometres north northeast of Hihifo, Tonga and 220 kilometres southwest of Apia, the capital of Samoa.
Shortly after the evening quake, a small bridge in Leone village in American Samoa collapsed.
