  1. Tombstone.
  2. You have no concept of a production line.........Numerous bottles with funnels in them are kept under cages of wild cats, who are shown pictures of BigD and given Pattaya lager to drink.
  3. Thanks for the reminder..... traffic mayhem Sunday.
  4. Backdraft. (24hr)
  5. If someone wants to sell something at a discounted price, that is their 'business'....Misrepresenting the item they are selling is scamming. When Tesco sells me cans of beer on special, or perhaps as a loss leader, I do expect the cans to have beer in them. If they were full of piss I wouldn't say 'it was to be expected as they were too cheap'..... what nonsense.
  6. It may be off topic but important. Don't you know anyone who put money down for an off-plan condo that never got started? I certainly do. I regard off-plan purchasing as a high degree risk one takes in order to secure a favourable price and terms. As for getting back on topic.... see OP........ there is a good second hand market.
  7. So for you if the packaging misrepresents the contents, it is simply a mistake?As you say common-place, I have certainly bought a DVD where the packaging suggested a particular film I wanted to see, but the contents were something different.I have also had DVDs that were un-watcheable, being such poor copies or poor audio quality. In my mind, not fit for the purpose sold. Sure, Pattaya and pirate products it is a case of buyer beware..... but sounds like a scam to me. I just opened a can with a picture of sardines on it, and there was a dead rat in there.... probably a mistake.
  8. A complete bicycle won't fit under the seat of a Click either.
  9. They sell back-boxes pretty cheap in Tesco.... I saw them but in the Laem Chabang one, about 900 baht I think it was.The problem is they didn't supply the rack/frame/ metalwork you need to fit on each side of the seat. I got mine fitted where I bought the Yamaha, on Nerm Plab Wan (Soi Muslim), just before the railway line left side heading East, (dealer) about 2400 baht. I am sure many of the bike shops will carry them.
  10. Certainly not for me..........But nice to be sure she hasn't got your suitcase.
  11. Is this really interest free for you? You are paying a deposit for something that isn't there, instalments for something that I hope was currently under construction, and was required to hand over the balance at completion/ handover. Wasn't it actually you giving the developer an interest free loan?
  12. Richard Gere.
  13. Yeah, the usual suspects, Homeworks, HomePro etc. They even have them in Big C. These things are like printers, they make their money selling the cartridges. The smaller filters seem to be a standard size of about 35 cm x 10cm cylinder. I take them out and give them a good washing,and re-use them, they are like a fibrous tough material, the paper ones couldn't be re-used. I am cleaning off what looks like a green slime. Remember you will need isolation valves to let you do this, I do plumbing myself mostly, this blue plastic pipe is dead easy.
  14. They must take Sunday off when I am there.....
  15. Just being pedantic but do you have to buy an Apple TV at 3x the price of a regular one!
  16. Perhaps more to do with the time of year you arrive....try it on New Years Eve and maybe you would think it a bad idea.Works great if the hotel the taxi drops you at works out..... but I found it best to have a reservation due to silly arrival times.
  17. The pool at the Mercure was reopened in time for high season, didn't really look much different to me but it has always been quite nice.I believe it has been 'sold on' but so far seems to be retaining the Mercure name. F&B standards have slipped in my mind and the place appears to undergoing a shift in customer base.
  18. There isn't a direct flight!!!
  19. Is the bathroom a special design for Verne Troyer?
  20. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
  21. Possibly....'Eeeeeeee, Ay yup lad, that be a fair bit o brass fer it'........ They would need to have hooks near the doors for all the flat caps and I bet the clogs wouldn't fit under the seat infront.
  22. Bram Stoker's Dracula.
  23. Sorry to say I agree, nothing special, just pub grub. Their roast meals I found particularly bland. But the service is good and you can easily get a seat inside, read a paper and get 'something and chips' that you are hankering after at a low price. Pre-beer stomach lining, similar to the Seaside Restaurant.
  24. I often go via the Middle East, and I don't see too many passengers who got on with me get off at BKK.So I guess the traffic wouldn't justify it. Not sure I would use Thai either if they did....... would depend on the price. Not that I wouldn't appreciate getting it over with, done plenty of non-stops from Europe/London. Of course Manchester-Karachi is another matter.
  25. Edward Scissorhands.
