  1. Yes a regular customer should not get 'gazupmed'.........
  2. Had he paid any money up-front? And how far ahead did he book? Just wondering .... I agree changing the price just 7 days before is taking the piss, but also expect some deposit to fix a future booking.
  3. Once Upon a Time in the West.
  4. Basically, it is all a bit of a mess at an extremely busy junction, caused by something designed to alleviate, it that they won't open! Hard to anticipate what you will come across each day at this junction......
  5. I just did Qatar Biz back to Thailand....it was a fairly good flight. Dreamliner from Manchester, which was an updated cabin, but an older style one in a 777ER from Doha. So if you book try and get their A380 from/to BKK as that is great. They also let me and other transit passengers straight off the plane into the terminal at Doha, so no horrible repeat of security checks! Good job as I had a short 1 hr transit. (Bags made it no problems). Qatar are likely struggling right now due to their tiff with their neighbours. My flight had to dodge their airspace and hence came in over Iran, then when we took off from Doha we were all around the houses dodging around the tip of the Oman peninsular.

  7. Well on Sunday I had to pass by this way so thought great, I can turn right off Sukhumvit onto Klang, helped by the lights, rather than pass by and make a dangerous U-Turn amidst the coaches queuing to get into rubber perverts world. But nope... the lights have been set to flash and concrete blocks set to prevent turns into Klang. You can squeeze through on a bike but you risk your life trying to get across the Northbound Sukhumvit traffic into Klang.. it's a chicken run. Coming back the other way, as traffic was light I bypassed the shit by going to the end of Arunothai, and straight across at the lights onto Yume and right at the 7-11, onto Sukhumvit passing the Radi Mansion. I can understand them doing this to keep Sukhumvit moving while they dick around scratching their nuts over opening the tunnel, but FFS get on with it!

  9. I did a couple of trips for work and there and then decided I would never be visiting for tourism purposes. My sister went to Goa and spoke well of it. I believe it is a good place to visit for the younger back-packer types, which isn't me in the slightest.
  10. You won't be wanting 10 years of it trust me!
  11. Back in Thailand.... rainy and cool.

  12. Posted it before that I once saw a disable guy in his vehicle coming down a Pattaya street with a laughing Thai tart in front of him and thought great place isn't it! Like you seen them having a ball in a GGB an the girls make him feel 'unconfined'....
  13. Wow, that would explain the attitude.
  14. So now it is also a medical diagnosis!

  18. Is it open yet????
  19. Is talking about Corned beef spamming the spam thread?
  20. The Biz Cabins these days are far better than they used to be years ago.. although I agree the meals and extras may not always be. Lie flat beds, bar at the rear, bigger screen entertainment, noise cancelling headphones, larger more comfortable lounges providing restaurant type facilities. My last one had a selection of drinks actually at the side of the seat, help yourself. Mattresses supplied. Herringbone arrangement which means you have a window yet easy access to aisles. Far superior to the side by side wider seats of years ago. Good privacy. Surprised you would think otherwise, or do I spoil myself using mainly Emirates (A380) Qatar (A380) and Etihad? Years ago there was no such thing as a Chauffeurs on my frequent BA Biz flights, although we got British newspapers and Stilton! I hadn't considered price but many many years ago a BA Biz was about 3 grand, I get Emirates for 1200 or so. The difference between Economy and Biz price has increased, factor of 3x or more now!
  21. Star Trek : First Contact
  22. Aha...21st century. Night at the Museum.
  23. Pleasant weather has arrived in UK, it really makes a difference.

  24. It happens, but some airlines deal with it better than others. I had an aircraft change in Switzerland, apparently the scheduled one had a lighteneing strike. I was most aggrieved that, despite my having a Biz Class ticket they were forced to put me in Economy, as there were many fewer Biz seats, and I was on a heavily discounted fare. They put me in the front row of economy and kept the seat next to me empty. They also fed me from the front of the plane and looked after me. Early the next mornng I went to the Swiss Air office in Bangkok and using a voucher was given a good wad of compensation cash, which I thought of as free money and I had helluva night on Soi Cowboy and Nana! When similar happened to me with BA I got fucked over in 3 countries and told to claim a refund in my next destination, until my final one, where they said I should have claimed it in London. London of course told me to claim in KSA! BA are twats!
