  2. You made me get out some recent bills I had. One showed 1500 baht for 'Physical Evaluation', another secondary visit showed 800 baht 'Physical Evaluation' so you are getting a better rate than me! I pay cash, are you using insurance? There was also the seemingly obligatory 220 baht on top to check the blood pressure, temperature and weight.
  3. In and out of immigration in 15 minutes this morning at about 10am, Retirement Extension.. pick up passport Wednesday morning. It took me longer to find somewhere to park.... Stelllar service...be polite, have your shit ready to go!
  4. We seem to have a lot of worrywarts out there!
  5. I thought there were some road works on Klang this AM, as it was tailed back to Sukhumvit and stationary. Nope, just a coach double parked and 2 others trying to turn right, same spot into the #6 alley after Foodland, what the hell is there down there?
  6. Looks like they are reopening their war on Adblockers too!
  7. Number of doors plays into it too!
  8. I can imagine GP is in quite a large group of those who dislike BA. During my working years I flew a great deal with them. They had a comprehensive network, went via UK which suited my plans, and actually, years ago again, had a good product in Club World. I looked forward to the port and Stilton and a UK newspaper after a stint in some 3rd world shithole. But then aggravation, from being messed about at LHR, trapped in planes that couldn't get to the gate, as time dripped away for the pain in the arse transfer from T1-T4 with rude slow security, being forced landside, so I had to repeat security there too, to dishonest treatment by them, lies lies and more over the years. Attempts to gouge me when changing routes/tickets and being treated less than decently where delays or missed connections occurred. They were on a downward slide then that they seemed oblivious to, with their arrogance and captive market in London. Yes I hold a grudge, as does GP. Despite my last trip with them being fine, the shuttle from Manchester to LHR and back. Although I flew to Thailand to start my retirement here on an air-miles ticket with BA, First Class, non-stop LHR to BKK one way, it was a flight I enjoyed. Of course it left late, BA 009 was consistent in that.

  12. I must admit I too did a Google search to get an idea of what you were talking about and came up blank. Very surprising and possibly sinister. I have been having negative thoughts about Google searches for a while, the top of the page seems to come up with useless links to other search engines or blogs, like click bait, and the real topic often absent.

  14. And Singapore, I did that check too for the 777-200. All seemed to have exits that were not really over the wings, but a little behind them. The 777-300 has over wing exits and Seat Guru shows them as available on BA.
  15. I think the negative for the place might be that it accommodates groups from China and India, also they allow residents to bring small dogs, which I believe are kept to a particular floor. (That applies normally to weekend visitors from within Thailand). I like the location, although I wonder about noise from the condo construction at the back. That same condo construction has enclosed the pool area somewhat, so pool view rooms are pool and condo wall.
  16. The OP mentioned Art street has been knocked down and the cut through from beach road to 2nd road is blocked. Is that what you mean?

  18. I did notice if I watched the file in Kodi, sometimes it is able to download more subtitles to try. Had a bit of aggravation sometimes getting subtitles synced though. For me it seems to be live and forget!
  19. If it is the one I took on my bike on Friday, the latter part was an assault course... there had been recent rains.
  20. Good question, this is where the Expats Club meet so I am there for breakfast once a week. The place has been renovated recently in the lobby and coffee shop area and most definitely the pool area seems to have increased the kids aspect. I have seen a few 'guests' leaving as I arrive in the morning though! It is on Soi 15, and no way to exit at the rear of the hotel, so you would have to turn right and walk to soi Buakhao about 200m. Second Rd is easier as you can cut through The Avenue, Google Maps
  21. Well her comments suggested she has seen it so I didn't ask her I am pretty sure she would be able to understand it in Italian, as I understand the dialogue in Rob Roy! Must admit I spent a little time in Milan and what I hear in Gomorrah does not sound familiar. When I downloaded yesterday Chrome seemed to bring all 4 episodes in a single zipped up file... will I be able to get any future episodes singly?
  22. Thanks.. Coincidentally I was chatting with my Italian neighbour and mentioned that I was watching this series We had a good chat and she said Napoli really is like that! Spurned an interesting conversation that also included the return of Berloscni.
  23. I like this cooler weather, my little Yamaha seems zippier.

  24. Rob Roy.
