  1. My situation is similar and I took it that way. Until they tell me otherwise...... I always felt putting my full address on my Arrival TM6 covered me.
  2. Where did the rain go? Dammit I am going to have to top off the pool with expensive City water again!

  3. Sorry to read that, but he only lost 3 baht. (Again apologies, I guess a typo and should read 3,000 baht!) Yes drunken thugs and pickpockets is Songkran in Pattaya, an old misery I might be, but I stay home! Disgusting that a CC issued from an overseas bank, in the name of say Joe Smith, can be used multiple times by an obvious Somchai!
  4. I was under the impression the famous Tom Yum khung did not contain coconut milk...... Tom yum goong nam sai is non creamy. Tom yum goong nam khon is creamy, but that is done adding evaporated milk, not coconut milk. Here is a recipe. Coconut milk is used a lot in Southern curries, Penang Curry and Masuman (which I always call mama-san to annoy the Mrs) for example.

  6. Try this.... .......https://youtu.be/tStMlfgVu8Y Dodge the preceding full stops.

  8. Useful post and thanks, Glad to read that I don't have to report myself in my own house...... I was delinquent when I had a friend or relative stay in the past though.
  9. Although the one at B13,860,000 is a little rich for me.
  10. Wrong, that was John Belushi. Pay attention... (He died in 1982, long before The Ghost Writer was released, in 2010) Back to James Belushi, went by Jim too!
  11. Thanks... had a quick look but missed it. (I am just out of the yellow area)
  12. You say delivery (free) is from Sukhumvit to Bira, but do you mean say within a triangle bounded by Bira, Rt 36, and Sukhumvit (where they meet) and as far South as say Soi Siam CC or more on the South and Nongprue?

  15. This type of occurrence was when I stopped attending Pattaya Songkran. For me it was the sight of a gang of very drunk Thai youths chasing their own in Pattaya and setting upon them brutally with sticks... No thanks..... Nigerian man beaten after giving the middle finger in Pattaya. Thai Visa (originally in Thai)
  16. Local lad.... Peter Postlethwaite
  17. I get aggravated by passengers seemingly refusing to turn their phones off. Trying to go sit in a more expensive 'cabin' than their ticket, is just being a pillock (even if someone is laying out on your designated seats).... United are going to be targets of this type of thing for a while.
  18. The Reuben I had at the Golf Club was rather puny compared to what I used to get from a specialized Reuben place in the USA..I too was looking to see how this place compared.
  19. Fantastic that some have a sense of humour about their own deficiencies or disabilities. I talked with one English guy a few times in The old Las Vegas A-Go-Go, on Soi Post office, now called Nevada, who was getting on with his life nevertheless. I believe he had a beer bar in the next street (soi Yamoto), called 'The Legless Arms'.
  20. Garden tools caused them, for what you mention I wear gloves!
  21. You keep going up, there will be takers! If you get takers, there won't be removals by force! The higher 'ceilings' on payouts will also put downward pressure on over-booking. The removed guy was of Vietnamese origin and it reminds me of a couple of them I knew while working in the USA. Strong minded guys and one in particular had some tales to tell of his life both in Vietnam and early days in the USA.
  22. Drainage project at home. Blistered hands. Mrs back Monday.
  23. I suppose a pancake isn't that either. US sandwiches are more of a meal than a snack, whereas a UK sandwich can be quite pathetic... transparent slice of ham and a wipe of butter! I used to work until late in the USA and grabbing a Reuben or Subway 12inch on the way back to the hotel with a 6 pack was a common evening. PS, No man should EVER order a 6 inch sub !
  24. It does seem unlikely that someone paying about £350 is somehow subsidizing someone on the same flight who paid £2500, rather than the other way round. I don't really want to subsidize anyone!
