  1. How are these boxes working at the moment within Thailand? There are problems with International feeds that will take us into next month.

  3. So you got bar-fined then!
  4. Are you taking a salary or expenses? First thought is yes. The official definition of “work” in Thailand is "to engage in work by exerting energy or using knowledge whether or not in consideration of wages or other benefits" (Source: Thai Ministry of Labour).
  5. Perhaps she said you were her dad?
  6. I stopped having Fish and Chips here, because I never knew what type of fish it was. As you say some were watery and mushy, quite awful, I was told this was a cheaper freshwater variety. I always liked a steamed grouper at Thai style places, particularly where they were recently swimming in a tank, but they got more and more expensive, and some seafood restaurants have ripped me off with the priced by weight result....... Even in the UK they just list it as 'fish', and if you ask 'what type of fish', you can get a puzzled look. Love a freshly battered cod.
  7. Which? I see 2!

    Are the holes there to reduce the mass, hence reduce damage, or like a fly swatter, to allow it to travel faster and prevent a softening cushion of air at the point of impact, hence hurting more? Never been sure. A wooden ruler, or a cane, and the fearsome one handed Mr Sharples at my Primary school (he would drape you over his stump face down, hoist you up and the back of the legs were punished) made me fearful, I drank my free milk. Times have changed and I think... good they have on this subject.
  10. I have this heat pack I picked up in Hong Kong. (Stanley Market) It is like a thick plastic bag with a coloured liquid in it, and there is a disc in it you click and then the liquid starts to solidify and it gives out a lot of heat over a few hours. To reset it you have to put it into a saucepan of boiling water for a while then let it cool slowly. Worked wonders on my knee recently and sounds good for your problem.
  11. Which one was he in?
  12. Perhaps now in Delta. I once flew with them in Biz (Houston-London) and it was superb, like a First Class. Good food I recall, lobster.
  13. Cocktail
  14. That was some heavy rain again in the night, a full pool and snails all over the garden.

  15. It is near sacrilegious to put ketchup or HP on 'Fish and Chips'........ Most certainly if you are over 8. Mushy peas are required!

  17. I think Mr Toom and Mr T will cover that price. I know Toom will pick you up at the airport for 1200 all in, and take you there for 1000 baht. Just search in this Forum.

  20. And I too wonder if I am missing out by not being on Facebook.... it seems to be mentioned and promoted everywhere.
  21. Shit, that was heavy rain last night. Had to order another and carry on mental wankxng!

  23. Yes, I also use Etihad mostly, Biz Class. They are good at Manchester and on-board, but I was never very happy with the transit in Abu Dhabi. Often having to go between terminals which is bad. Despite the BS they claim of 'Terminal 3 is dedicated to Etihad Airways departures and arrivals, while Terminals 1 and 2 are used by all other airlines'. I mostly need to transfer! Last time I went through (end of May), it looked as though there was construction work going on at Terminal I, so perhaps some improvement coming there. The lounges are too small in Abu Dhabi too!
  24. Cooler and cloudier again.

  25. Biz Class 4xEconomy price. First Class 8x Economy Price... approximate figures. You arrive 0.10 seconds sooner in First! Depends on the carrier, but Emirates for example, in First you get a private area 'suite' with a door you can close, and shower facilities. You can take a look on the airline websites where they happily extol the reasons for spending so much. Emirates Biz Class Emirates First Class
