  1. I have to say my 'wifey' doesn't inquire along those lines!
  2. Mid July, it is actually an awards ticket.
  3. Laurence Olivier
  4. I have a booking with Qatar in the summer and I just received an email sayng the Doho-Bangkok leg was leaving 15 minutes earlier,. That had me worried as the connection was only about 55 mins anyhow. Looking into it I saw my landing in Doha would be 20 minutes sooner....huh how did they do that? Aircraft change, QR028 will be using the Dreamliner. Actually pleased to be trying out the 787 as I haven't yet flown on one. Wish they would change the Doha-Bangkok flight to an A380 instead of that noisy cart, the 777ER.
  5. Mutiny on the Bounty.
  6. I was expecting that......... Olin Howland........ did I break the rules by searching my own old posts?????
  7. Don't all the Add-Ons... As much as I appreciate Fireman Sam's input above I must admit that it caused me to 'waste' several hours yesterday trying to get some of these Add-Ons loaded onto my PC and pad. Kodi is 'pernickety'.....
  8. The coolest guy ever.... Steve McQueen.
  9. Not the sort of guy to take the piss out of!
  10. Ones that wanted to keep the bail bond???
  11. Great thanks, much appreciated.
  12. Sir Richard Attenborough,
  13. Just read and saw the video of this myself... the casual way the guy strolled up to the window of the Porsche Cayenne was chilling. Mind you similar has been done in-front of 7-11s to a guy buying a few beers, as the guy was worth more dead than alive to his wife!
  14. If you are open to the second hand market then you could avoid them. An already completed building, and you can evaluate how the maintenance and administration is working out and even buy directly from an owner. In the current market you should be able to get a good price. New and off-plan developments are still asking fantasy/tourist prices.
  15. $50/hr. Many will sit around hungry to save $250..... My pal went to the airport 7 hours early to save the small difference between the last bus and a taxi! When I suggested he would need some local currency to buy some food or drink at the airport during that long wait he looked at me as if I was mad to suggest such! Personally I pay a shit load more to sit in the premium lounges drinking little bottles of beer and eating tiny sandwiches!
  16. Well done Immigration at Jomtiem! Retirement Extension, Re-entry Permit and 90 day report all done efficiently recently.

      Yes it was always busy in there with no where to sit, but for the items I needed things moved swiftly.

       

  17. I agree, I booked with Qatar recently and did not see an option to select seats until after I had paid.
  18. Platoon.
  19. Cool clear and sunny morning.....

  20. My experiences have been good. Only complaint was being bused to the aircraft in UK, rather than there being a jetway.
  21. I know I could probably find this on the internet but where can I find the repository or zip to load this? I currently use Exodus Video add-on and you can find mostly anything.
  22. Might be an interesting topic to inform people as to where cheap stuff can be bought at airports. Bangkok isn't bad but of course bottles of booze can be problematic if you have another connection. I always buy tobacco going out of Bangkok, and actually buy a bottle of something when I come in. I don't really think there are many real bargains in the airports, if anything items are way overpriced and the 'duty' saved is taken up by mark-up. I looked at tobacco and perfume ex-Manchester and decided to pass. I bought a bottle of Drambuie in Dubai as they don't have it in BKK and it was more expensive than in Asda..... didn't realize until it came through on my CC bill.

  24. Stupid cat, chased a mouse into the house this morning.
