Re: Webcams

@ PSD - What about some of the webcams HERE?

Maybe this one:

You could have him go to the grassy part?

Hmm... might be clutching at straws here...

Oh yes send him to the "grassy knoll"

Looks like our lad needs to to learn something about astral planing. I thought about the grassy knoll cam, maybe he can go there next time. Smile

@Leia, that was great! Makes me wonder if I can sell the rights to Disney.

However,I went to the western union agent agents in my location to collect the money,she sent..I gave the lady at counter the payment slip..She entered the control number into their computer..To my greatest surprise,they couldn't locate the money..I guess,that Nigerian must've trickishly swindled the money from her..Doug,it is important you try and locate her..or try and locate the Nigerian,he is still in Thailand..Anyway,I will keep try her line,so as to see if I can get her on phone..Iam really concerned about her safety..Right now,I can if she has gotten to malaysia or singapore.It is really fustrating..Please,it important you call me..I look forward your response..

I like this, it's almost sig material. I'm still holding out for "I am in jail. Why Dougie, why did you do this to me?":

.I've been calling her phone number since money,but my calls keep going into her voicemail..

How about this route? I think we need someone to call Ed posing as a Nigerian. Jack Sparrow. All I think that they should do right now is tell Ed Amy is with them and how much of a cut Ed's going to get from the whole deal. Something like "okay because you got me the maga, I give you 50 dollars." I've pmed Double-O as I know he can do this well, but not sure if he's willing.

Hey, I'm an American and I used to speak fluent German, basic French, Spanish, Danish and enough Korean to get around. I used to live in Europe and Korea in the 80s. I'm sure my skills have degraded from lack of use. You can all tell I can barely _spell_ English.
Also, as long as I only need to use anime phrases, I can speak fluent Japanese Very Happy

Have I got this right, 9:00pm singapore time is in 45 minutes from now UK time?

[edit]

It is this cam, yes?

http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/home/about_singapore/fun_stuff/webcams/Sentosa_Beach.html

Seems to be showing the current image as daytime with sunshine and cam not refreshing either Confused

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:23 pm

Well perhaps Prof Higgins will make an exception for Mr Mugu.

BTW is the beach rendezvous still on? Sorry, but am just too lazy to look it all up. And the beach cam doesn't stream. It has to be manually refreshed.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:23 pm

^^ SP: Yep. Here's hoping the cam is streaming.
[edit] shit. Looks like it won't be, then. Well, that'll explain why the lawyer didn't arrive, and it's another wasted journey for him.

^^^^^ Ok, got no streaming here though, when refreshing the page manually it's still showing the same image Sad

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:27 pm

It's about 40 minutes from this moment that I am posting right now....

the WU office must have had an American working since that slip didn't work.

Damn it!

OR he didn't go - - someone read the slip to him - and he lied about going.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:27 pm

I should've made the appointment time 12 noon, looks like they take a daily shot at that time. Oh well, time to find another cam. perhaps the grassy knoll, tomorrow.

Keep checking that beach cam though, if Ed's around that area long enough, there's a chance he'll appear on it later. It takes shots once in a while, that's all you can guarantee with it.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:29 pm

SP<-- The beach looks deserted, probably nobody there now. Don't know if that's normal for this time of the year. Earlier there were some people though. Beneath the beach umbrella - the one on the right.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:32 pm

^^^ huh? I'm still getting the frame with all the people on the beach, daylight. Are we all getting different shots? Try refreshing the page.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:35 pm

DANG. Hafta go our for a couple hours

I am getting a night scene - nobody on the beach and the umbrellas are folded. There's a spotlight (or flood light or whatever) lighting up the area between the 2 umbrellas

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:35 pm

What url?

Here is what my cam is showing, streaming is off as it should be getting dark soon in Singapore:

Current View

View at 12 Noon

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:39 pm

That's the one I'm getting. It's already dark there, as some of the traffic cams show. The beach is artificially lit at night.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:44 pm

Yeah, current view is showing a night scene. So maybe it is working.
@Eliza, I wonder if he's lying too. The lad is so dense, I wonder if he simply entered the number at the WU website and it didn't come up.
2nd Edit: Perhaps that's a good out too if you want to use it. Say that she probably entered the number as an unsecured (normal) transfer. Have him point out to her the part in Chinese where it says it's a secured transfer.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:49 pm

What url are you getting a night scene on?

@ Mr Mugu, you have a night scene for current view?

Can you post the image url here, mine is still showing the same image as above with people in the same position in sunny daylight.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:53 pm

^^ Looks like the US is getting a different pic than the UK. Confused

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:56 pm

This is the url I'm using
http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/home/about_singapore/fun_stuff/webcams/Sentosa_Beach.html

It's a night shot and looks the same as the one posted above. What I can't tell is if it's static or not.
