How can a Ghost/spirit have an avatar?
from a google search:
With regard to the title of the story about a masalai, that site informs:

“In Tok Pisin (the pidgin English of Papua New Guinea), a masalai is one of the following:

A masalai can be a malevolent spirit associated with a specific location (such as a mountain) or specific natural feature (such as a whirlpool).

In a human-like (anthropomorphic) form, a masalai is often a large and/or ugly cannibal, similar to an ogre.

Would "shreck" do?

Bloody FED mongrels, are they at it again/still AU$ falls in NY trading at the same time as gold falls US$20/oz - That to me smacks of fuckin manipulation by the money controllers in NY - ********s!!! - stop screwing around with commodities and foreign exchange rates, take your medicine and for the few? honest citizens with some political/economic clout, please clean out the corruption before you loose any credibility you have left in the world....

Geeezuz I bought a new inner tube for my bike this morning 7 fking ringet--thats two American doller Fcks sake.

Last time I had a puncture they were 4 fking ringet.

Will the big shots at the bicycle factory stop fking around with the price of bicycle parts before you loose credibility.

[masalai]

Yes Frosty this stupidity of/by the US FED stuffs up nearly all international trade - so you got screwed 3ringit on a 4ringit tyre (that is a 75% inflation thanks to the septic money controllers)... - Just imagine the **** you would be in if you had just ordered your boat at the wrong time of an exchange rate fix by the FED would you have been able to consider +75% increase on the deal? (AU$ to US$ to Thai Baht/Malaysian ringgit?)

Have you tried opening a bank account in Europe? Well dont bother, you cant anymore. Well maybe if your a 9 to 5, married and live in one house, and live in England or France or other European country that I just can remember at this moment.

They want from me a passport copy signed by a doctor or lawer that I have known 5 years??? I live on a monkey Island, hardly ever see a doctor (touch wood) and never see a lawer.

They want an original utility bill with my name and address in English.

How do I get a utility bill in English when they know I live in Thailand and Malaysia.

These banks are offshore banks, they cater (amazingly) for ex pats, People who are tax exiles and live out of the European Union, but they dont know that people speak and write in foreign languages.

Copy of driving license,---in English Ahem,-- Malay and Thai licenses arent in English.

Bank statement from other bank, They have been pushing me to go E account for years, now I am mostly all E account and now they want Fking statement?

Credit card statement less that 3 months old. They dont issue a statement unless there is action on the card. Takes a month to get here if it does, and I am not usually there. I don't live in one place, I am therefore a criminal.

Santander the huge Spanish bank now says they will only accept funds from non Santander group, in other words they want all the money.

So they all need money badly but you cant send it to them. ******.

Use a "European" bank that has branches in Thailand or Malaysia, then get them to open an account in Europe... That is what I did a while ago when I went to india as the ANZ owned some banks there - How about a trip to New Caledonia or Vanuatu, and open an account there and transfer to a French bank or is there a British bank in Singapore or Hong Kong that will do that?

It is all America's fault - (got to blame someone and they look like the loosers at the moment) - that banks have got very anal - unless you have millions/billions to deposit.... Tell them you received an email that you have inherited several hundred million from xxxxx and need an account with YYYY into which to make the deposit... Once the account is opened and operational - send a letter of apology, that the letter was a scam, but you would be quite happy to operate the account opened as per normal needs...

You are right - I said, very much tongue in cheek, and expecting derision, that to borrow a million to buy some more gold might be nice? and what the heck, - - as the answer bloody left my jaw agape... - - "OK" - - - - a reciprocal tongue in cheek

Mass I have many accounts from Hong kong to Uk. Its interest that I am after. You cant open an account with a branch and transfer.

I am an offshore investor.

The trouble I am having this morning is internally moving money from an account I have with one bank to another account in the same banks branch!!!!!!!!! AND_AND I personally know the manager and have been with them for 20 years. I have spoken with him on the phone.

He cant help,-- Santander wants squeeky clean personnel details for every account or he looses his job.

I sent a bank a letter on this subject some years ago telling them that they are on the limit and any further tightening will mean we expats just cant comply. I got a nice letter back thanking saying they will put that forward at the next pow wow.

You cant have opened an account for a while Mas,-- Bastard Bin Ladin.

He is in the employ of the CIA so they can go and screw the middle east - point higher ... I recently opened several accounts here and only needed "100 points of ID" (passport & drivers licence) fcuk nationality.... Lovely Lady is still on Indian passport and same situation Indian Passport & Australian drivers licence.... Come to Australia.... and open an account... US$50,000 and more and you can open an account at the Perth Mint to buy gold (the actual metal not paper shares)...

[Frosty]

Have accounts Australia. HSBC Victoria Rd, Sydney.

Cant move money from one state to another GST--bring money in Pay GST.

Thats my boat buying account. Or bits n stuff.

Same Malaysia walk in, walk out with account,--5 minutes

Offshore Europe is not the same.

[masalai]

Oh? then they deserve to join the ******* in depression?

Its money laundering, terrorists use these to channel money for terrorism.

I don't understand why it should be so difficult yet why so easy elsewhere.

[masalai]

No, they use the "money-gram system" - almost untraceable.... pay money to a man and a representative elsewhere pays out the actual money does not get sent directly but from holdings in the recipient country the actual money is sent via a different route as payment for goods or something or as a "gift" to an immigrant to be "paid back" elsewhere.... Just think outside the box and remember the theory that you are within 6 handshakes from any other person on earth if you can work out the links...

The terrorist interception is a bloody farce run by brain-dead idiots.... who are trying to find the links or the couriers - almost no chance of success that way.... Just one heck of an inconvenience for everyone else and an excuse for the cia/fbi to bug others for other reasons...

Listen to this and be bloody shocked and ashamed http://www.abc.net.au/rn/latenightli...09/2615119.htm

I dont think so mas, Im sure that money will go that way if its easy to do.

A couple of mill going through British clearing banks is nothing, couple of thousand going through Iraq rings the bells.

[masalai]

Here everything over 10K needs proof of ID (drivers licence or passport) to appease the paranoid usanians by that cretin little johnny howard.... playing a similar stunt to "prohibition" DOES NOT WORK just made the Kennedy family rich enough to put a grandson up to win Presidency and stuff....

Heroin used to be tolerated and controlled, and since American insistence on banning/prohibition, drug use globally has gone berserk - an example of another stupid American idea... which has turned to bite them even domestically, more so than if just controlled quietly...

Some of the moneygram systems do not use money transfers just transfer of drawing access within the organisations using coded email data, all too easy and secure from even cia/fbi decoding....

[Frosty]

Just a point, has the Americans done anything you like?

You know Im not getting on your case but I just wondered.

I cant think of anything off hand!!
