  1. The horse could be spooked by someone eating a steak pie in the UK!
  2. Give us an idea when you want to travel!
  3. He isn't in the US, I think he mentioned Trinidad and Tobago.
  4. I will change where it says 'Thailand'...to say 'UK' Duh! Or make it clear. I hope your friend gets some free 'minutes' and text messages thrown in at that price. Very happy with pay as you go in both UK and LOS, although the UK has snatched my credit off me a couple of times after not using it for over 6 months.
  5. Correct........ Kill Bill.
  6. It will come I believe. But more to do with supplying telephones at less than cost, in order to keep you 'on their network'. Not sure why that policy has not caught on here yet. (For clarity on 'here'.... look under my avatar)
  7. Good in Steel Magnolias
  8. Moonstruck
  9. The Witches of Eastwick.
  10. You said 'here'....it is unclear where you mean. I think the phone system in Thailand is okay. So the phone system in Canada sucks? Or would that be USA, Greenland, Mexico, Honduras, Belize ????
  11. The Fabulous Baker Boys.
  12. I agree. That price is not much more than regular Biz Class fares and for some carriers, less......I need a flight ex UK in mid July, which of course is peak pricing time. Prices on Etihad, Biz Class are coming up very high. I took a look at Emirates and found first class at just over them (but not as cheap as your fare). If I search 'by schedule' you can cherry pick the A380 flights. It will be breaking my cherry and my bank to pay for a First Class flight myself.
  13. Gabor... you probably have more experience on this than most!
  14. I have bought tickets ex Bangkok while here in LOS, via the internet, and used a UK credit card to pay for them. The price was converted from baht to £ for me. That was with either Qatar or Etihad. Set your location to Thailand (English) on the airline web-pages. You don't mention it, but I suspect you are buying a ticket in someone else's name. That might be the issue, or the need to show the credit card at check-in. Try approaching the airline offices in the UK........ (You aren't comfortable sending someone the money to buy their own ticket......) Thai taxes are substantially less than UK ones.
  15. I thought a BM made it available here some years ago... or at least provided a link to it. I remember it taking ages to download on my old mobile-phone link internet access. I still have it on my computer and have got to lesson 12 in the 5 years or so, such is my sloth.
  16. Errr.......no, I am going to leave this.
  17. I may as well tag this on here, it demonstrates the way the airlines make you feel 'I should have waited' Received an email regarding a 8 day sale of tickets to a few destinations by Etihad Airways. I haven't investigated the availability myself... I have already booked at more than this.... Economy and Biz Class.THB Dublin 39,230, 105,300 Manchester 35,765, 86,015 London 38,045, 98,145 Sale Period: 11-19 April 2013 Travel Period: 11 April – 15 August 2013 Might be worth a check if you were thinking of a flight.
  18. Well I do wake up a bit fuzzy, but mostly not too bad. One decided advantage is Etihad supply me a nice Mercedes to drive me onward in comfort from the airport. If I could guarantee an empty row to lie down on in economy that is far better. I think I got pissed off once when told I couldn't have another drink until I got one with the crappy meal in economy. And that was the end of my long-haul el-cheapos! A glass of bubbly as the pretty stewardesses bustle around getting ready to close the doors appeals to me. And I don't have to hang around in the transit lounge between flights... they aren't very good in either Abu Dhabi or Qatar.
  19. Yes thanks. My computer is on a desk, against a wall, in a corner and kids are sneaky!
  20. I live here and am not worried in the slightest. I see you are from the UK so you should not be either. Perhaps someone flying from USA via South Korea or Japan might have more reason. Seoul is another 5 hours flight away.
  21. This is the time of year food can be risky, even in Thailand. I even had some so-called fresh pineapple that didn't taste right..... seemed to have been sweetened with sugar. Made me feel unwell. On questioning the TGF she had bought it ready peeled in a plastic bag... I suggested it had been in the plastic bag, and the sun, for a little too long!
  22. 24hr. The Wild Pair.
  23. People from around Stoke, UK are always calling others 'duck'. Trouble is when you get used to it and don't, then you grouse!
  24. No don't. You have figured out how to ignore him and that should resolve your problem. Sounds like the guy has 'issues' and it isn't air to go public... unless you feel you are protecting others. I wish you would change your Avatar..... a kid keep sneaking up behind me to look at the computer, as per Forum Rule 9 I have a shoulder surfer!
  25. Are you insinuating that all the sides field the strongest team and play to the best of their ability every game? And that there has NEVER been any doubt....... There is just too much gambling money around.
