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

      Yup, I was crazy enough to be swimming while it was going on. Was I the only nutter, nope a few others were in with me and we had fun

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

  3. Home Alone

  5. 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........
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. American Gangster.
  10. 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!
  11. 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.
  12. I also missed the word few when relating to Indonesian Islands.
  13. 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!
  14. India too! I always figured South Africa to be 'not an Island'......along with landlocked countries like Zambia and Botswana.
  15. Morgan Freeman.
  16. Yeah, my Mrs is horrified when I pick them up bare handed and toss them over the wall. They sit there on my lawn like they own the place! There is actually a restaurant that has toad on the menu nearby (my Mrs insists it is toad and not frog), amongst other delicacies. I am informed they have to be prepared carefully to avoid toxic parts, akin to blowfish.
  17. That does look chaotic....... We shall see traffic issues as we head into the high season and nicer weather.
  18. Seriously! I only fly to the UK once a year and go Biz Class, and this 'arrangement' will make me prefer alternative carriers. Shame as I like the A380 service, and Emirates offer the limo. I could have understood getting rid of the bar, or sliding everything forward and removing first.
  19. When I flew with Qatar the upper deck economy was at the back though.
  20. Your last sentence is a biggie, they do it on the right too. My first trip out in the truck I nearly crushed a woman trying to go straight on in the right turn lane, as I turned right, indicator on. Looking for stupid motorcyclists before turning left will become 2nd nature. Not just danger when moving, motorcycles will park close up behind you when you are parked too so you have to take a look before getting in and reversing. I still think a bike for nipping around town quickly is needed.
  21. My pool boy keeps digging out the frogs from their holes and eating them.
  22. Patrick Stewart.
  23. Sure seems like the cool season approaches, a misty and pleasant 25 degC at 6am.

  25. Do you mean a booking deposit or a deposit when you arrive? Some places I stayed at on a special monthly rate required me to pay up-front. I can understand them doing it though, you are requiring them to reserve the room for a month and if you were a no-show they might be stuck with an empty room. Mostly I book with a credit card, but 1 nights stay is taken at booking and can be lost if I am a no-show.
