Let us home none of them are gamy!

And sometimes it isn't just about distance. Better to have a tailwind than a headwind. Generally it is quicker to fly West to East, as that is the direction of jetstreams, located North and South of the Equator. Something to do with warmer air rising at the equator going north and south and accellerating relative to the ground due to rotation of the earth. Anyone who has flown back and forth UK-USA knows the flight is much longer heading back to UK.

Yes, my friend goes there regular, he is Scottish so it must be good value.

I looked at some pics on this Philipines page (cos it was in English) and got misled by the pic at the bottom. Have to see if the shop near me has one for a whiz around. Thanks.

Are some confusing soi 15 Beach Rd, with soi 15 Second Rd (which runs from 2nd Rd, past the Mercure, behind the avenue then sharp right to Buakhao)?

That's me. I also have never liked the idea of a single rear shock/spring off centre. Just looks wrong. Have to look at the specs. Thanks.

Same with Emirates/Dubai. Got her a nice bottle of perfume..... About 45 miles per AED.

These things change but as I just flew back on a free one-way Biz Class ticket I am impressed. I say free but the taxes were probably about what an economy flight costs!!

How much are they? Might be interested in a new bike myself.

You just beat me to it, I watched the first 2 episodes and enjoyed them. Very similar in style to 'Breaking Bad'.

Was it here or perhaps Thai Visa where I read of someone complaining a Samsung Phone they bought off Lazada was giving problems and the buyer insisted it was not a new itme as he thought, but one which had been returned to Samsung, they had fixed it and it ended up for sale, cheap, as 'new' on Lazada? Anyhow, my recent purchase from them, a new lappy battery, was fine.

It opened in Acrobat on my laptop.

Me too, but heading South. Don't have to worry about BA and their issues!

Wot, again..... Carnage for holidaymakers after British Airways systems CRASH at Heathrow and Gatwick. The Star! The Sun.

Tapatalk strikes again!

I hear they are here or there, where were they?

Sorry old chap, struggling with the banter, or rather the abbreviations.

Well it's not like I have tried a lot of different ones but yes have been mostly happy and they have a shit load of servers worldwide to choose from. Their support was a little 'automated' if you know what I mean, ie initially making simplistic off the treadmill suggestions but they kept at it. Does fastukvpn.co.uk not have a forum/ Facebook page you could get to.

You have to wonder whether a less attractive 2000 all nighter slightly tubby, not so pretty, beer bar girl is going to give you better service than some 5000 baht, my friend lose her loom key princess pretty! Makes me think it is all about arm candy...... Personally don't have the experiences to compare except to say grabbing an older one at an MP usually yields a better result!

Concorde flew at 60,000 ft!

I can only say I am also with True ISP, and am able to connect to UK servers via IPVanish VPN service. I doubt True would block Apple prior to Windows. I have been suffering spurious disconnections a few times but it hasn't impacted me that much. I suspect strongly this is an issue with one particular UK end server. You need to contact your VPN supplier. I had issues when IPVanish upgraded, which went fine with Win10, and WIN 7, but would not load onto my old Vista unit. IPvanish helped me through some belaboured attempts to get it to load, which ultimately ended up with rolling back to the previous release and blocking the check for updates.

Let us keep it in perspective ... there are also some really big ugly-uns in beer bars too!
