  1. I too thought the EPL would benefit from having the best of Scotland in there, instead of the lower order English sides that struggle.
  2. My worst was booking a hotel room using Agoda, and not noticing the extra charge of a compulsory Gala Dinner for 2 which got tagged on, and the booking was non-refundable as it was at the last minute. That cost me! Should be a 1 hour cooling down period where you can go to your credit card and cancel!
  3. Yes, it is a bit of a bad habit I have to reply quickly, without reading on first. Just like you missing the word 'mare' in the very first line of the thread and about 12 times after!
  4. Yes I thought that.... block it out of spite. These agents do come up with some silly transit times, but then again, if you go straight to the airline's websites, they do too. Who the hell wants to sit around in awful Abu Dhabi airport for 10+ hours on the way to Bangkok, or on the way back with just the bus-fare in your pocket. I have noticed a lot of sites now highlight the total journey time, so I always ensure that is in the expected 15-16 hour range. £115 to change it. I think you should have checked, since it was the return leg, if Etihad might have permitted a change for 2000 baht, after you had arrived. Beware too, changes seem to be getting more expensive with the carriers.
  5. Whatever they are I have 109.000 of them. These FF miles are near useless, I have had little success availing them and always pursue carriers based mostly on price anyhow.
  6. I suppose that was cancerous 'tongue in cheek'?
  7. He, mare?
  8. Liam Neeson
  9. True enough. I have a house and feel storage space is limited. Surprising how much crap a guy accumulates. Visited a friend in a condo and he was proudly showing off the view from the balcony, but I was more intrigued by all the crap he had out there.
  10. You never watched the super bowl then.
  11. Initial thoughts, unhappy. I don't like the concept of sports being scheduled to suit the TV audiences (or the advertising) at the expense of the 'home' support, and one place where I feel that is 'excessive' is the USA. Most USA guys I recall had nothing but disdain for 'soccer'.
  12. On UK TV a lot before that..... Orlando Bloom.
  13. Sean Bean
  14. I have always felt book at least a month in advance, but I personally didn't want to go more than 3 in advance. Circumstances change and refunds are tough to get. I have no real data to say how that affects pricing, except leave it too late and it gets more expensive. Perhaps someone in the industry can advise.
  15. James Earl Jones
  16. Sean Connery
  17. Had you asked the question of a Spanish restaurant I might have known the answer. How many olives on it, green or black?
  18. I looked at the original advert on Sunbelt Asia and the above is an exact copy/paste. So whether it is 30,000-500,000, or 300,000 to 500,000 per month or per year suit yourself.
  19. Hellboy. (yes I actually like those films!)
  20. Yes I thought of there, the corner where Pratumnac goes straight on towards the hill, and to the left Thrappaya starts heading towards the Residence Garden. A big place on your right as you take Thrappaya.
  21. That suggests profits of 300,000 to 500,000 last year. Firstly I would like to see profits nailed down better than that. And I actually think those are small profits on a 22,000,000 outlay and similar turnover.
  22. Hugh Jackman.
  23. Scarlett Johansson.
  24. The horse could be spooked by someone eating a steak pie in the UK!
  25. Give us an idea when you want to travel!
