  1. When I had a daft moment and stumped up for 1st class I think there were just 3 of us in there from Manchester, a few more from and to Doha. Not much of a 1st Class crowd from Manchester I guess. Biz was doing okay, I think there were a lot of recently retired doing their trip of a lifetime or visiting relatives down under. Got to adapt to the market, as I have to adapt to my finances!
  2. This guy has been in the news before, his face is familiar. Yeah, the storey is a year old.
  3. An auction, a good example of someone wanting to pay more and spoiling it for another!!

  5. Old habits die hard, mostly avoided paying by CC as there was always a 2-3% surcharge due to currency change, but more importantly was worried by the possibility of CC fraud, which used to be rampant in Eastern countries.

  7. Now that would be a dangerous job!
  8. Coincidentally I was reading similar to this on Thai Visa. More often than not a relatively small fine and maybe a short driving suspension is what I see for causing death by dangerous driving. (I think I read 5000 baht fine and 3 month suspended!). There was also a 50 year old woman recently killed crossing North Rd pushing a bicycle. This video is horrifying and I think British tourists are in danger especially, because they hold Zebra crossings in high regard.

  12. Some heavy rain this afternoon, is it the season's swan song?

      Forgot to say during the drenching we had Sunday afternoon on Nov 08

  13. Home Alone
  14. Casino
  15. My very thought as I read the OP. Used to be they were stuck up on walls, or a list was supplied (not much use to me in the darkness). Quite the mystery these days........
  16. I put a protective glove on too, or use a small towel when I grab a tookay, I once spent a painful 10 minutes trying to get one of the bastards off me as it took a good biting grip on the web between my thumb and forefinger.
  17. Yeah, I keep a pop up toaster covered when not in use! I guess you have night-lights, they attract insects and geckos, at 6pm they pop out from their hiding places to set up for their night shift by the light.
  18. I am tone deaf, I get served up with 8 ducks and a big green hill when I ask for something spicy with sticky rice.
  19. American Gangster.
  20. I am pretty sure it was 3 years for this one underpass, and then I expect more of the same elsewhere. Thread started at the beginning of February 2015, and at that time construction was 'well under-way'. I think we are well on schedule for a late finish!
  21. You do not get a tourist visa when you go through passport control at the airport. You get a 30-day waiver. A tourist visa would be obtained at a Thai consulate, outside of Thailand.
  22. I also missed the word few when relating to Indonesian Islands.
  23. I think the comment prior is very true, cheap, fast and crap. Sort of place you stagger into after a night of drinking. I know my last visit was undesired as it came from my barfine feeling hungry (aren't they always) on the way back and I sat there watching her eat as my 'power' waned!
  24. India too! I always figured South Africa to be 'not an Island'......along with landlocked countries like Zambia and Botswana.
