  1. Toad in the hole........or a head cheese sandwich.
  2. Wow,, the end of a 'legend'.... I have had quite a few of those greasy breakfasts watching 'Only Fools and Horses'...a hangover clouding my judgement, served up by the most sour faced waitress in town. Did one of them kill the other at last!
  3. It just appears to be a name used for a specific recipe for pickled cucumbers, I must say I had not heard of it before and was feeling queasy thinking of pickles in bread and butter pudding. More sugar and sliced so that they fit well on a sandwich......
  4. If you are travelling Biz Class, you should get one. I don't believe it is relevant whether it is an award ticket or not, similarly you get access to the lounges.
  5. No, Walking St is the main, famous tourist area. Soi 6, I would say infamous.
  6. Like this...
  7. Every Which Way But Loose.........
  8. I don't recall that I have..... I usually stayed central or South Pattaya, and not so far away from the beach. Back then there wasn't much going on at the North End.
  9. It is one of those words that will be with me forever.On a mat up here.......no, on a rug down there! Was told that some-place and it stuck!
  10. Yes of course I could..... for me it wasn't expensive, a good deal. But for you it is overpriced, as you admitted, and for some reason Ib put you in the poor-boy rooms.
  11. National Lampoons Vacation
  12. Well they have school holidays at about the same time.I believe the UK taxes are mainly on departure and do depend on your final destination. Problem is the risk, the budget carriers won't give a shit if they make you miss an onward connection. (Lyin Air and FlymayBe) You will likely have to go through immigration and collect your luggage too.
  13. Caddyshack 2 (24hr)
  14. You need a place like the Residence Garden or Nova Park. Pity about it being November (high season already). If you pay for the full month the Nova Park says 33,000 baht but check if that includes electricity and cleaning.
  15. Well as I said there was a double mattress on there and I personally didn't have that issue... perhaps they fastened the legs together with cable ties.I do recall the vile mustard coloured blankets they used before investing in nice bedspreads, and double beds were normal for me, as a regular guest who could afford the place. Good hotel, 2 rooms, 2 ACs, 2 TVs, 2 pools, all for the price a little more than those one-room places.
  16. I guess you are buying your ticket in Thai baht Mick? If you originate at this (Thai) end, and pay say with a UK credit card, you will pay in £ but the price is originally in baht. The exchange rate is hitting hard now!August...school holidays!
  17. Yeah, I have seen them in various places from temples to out front at massage places.My dentist I recall....a mouth full of cotton wool, drooling at the corner and feeling somewhat vexed by the bill I could have chucked it to Sukhumvit! Bloody scroungers!
  18. Try Fascinos on Pattaya Nua, there is a chance with the table. I had a friend suffer similarly and they seemed to manage heave-ho method, his wife sure got strong.
  19. Correct, they all went away soon after I mentioned them. It seemed Atlas 2 still had a ratings issue after it was fixed for me.I bet that was a lot of work and annoyance you would rather not had, like when my computer crashed for me at the beginning of the month. Ah well, exercises the grey matter!
  20. Steve Martin
  21. Hangover 2.........
  22. Yes I just noticed that.... MM at work!I would give him a +1, but I can't. (Now can and did!)
  23. Perhaps a different offer.... perhaps I got it wrong...perhaps I meant up to June inclusive, but bargains normally dry up over the July/August holidays. Don't forget I fly ex-Thailand. I went on the Emirates site and no special deals available for me.
  24. Well I now have a problem, perhaps due to the update. I used to have a black dot next to each thread where there was new post(s). I could click there and be taken directly to unread posts in that thread. Dot has gone.... Navigating to unread posts is harder... 'Go to first unread' sometimes isn't there. No green/red ratings buttons either. Poor MM.....
