  1. The Untouchables.
  2. The crazy woman of mine set her phone on vibrate alarm to get up and watch this!Didn't make much difference as she knocked the bloody lamp over when it went off I was well woken. She came back to bed quietly so I knew he had lost! This morning I was told Chinese man fight bad way......
  3. On the way back last time I could only muster 15kg, half of my allowance.Mind you, have you ever seen Egyptians travel..... they have those big wrenches for getting the kitchen sink out!

    Big Deal

    Just took a look at my Qatar ticket to Manchester. The fare was 68500 baht.... what they categorise as 'taxes and Carrier-imposed Fees' another 22,010.00 THB A third on top.With the current oil price, and the way the air ticket has been a source of unlimited taxes and charges by goody goody green governments.... and then the added satisfaction of asking more from those who prefer not to be treated like a sardine and have the effrontery to pay more for a bit of comfort, I wonder how they are filling up the planes.
  5. What the hell is going on? There was a film to film post and a bounce back that may be a pun.... Too much Saturday night boozing going on....last I can see is...... The Sopranos lady...... a fine HBO series. Medicine Man
  6. Sadly a lot have their houses taken away by the party too.
  7. The Big Breakfast. ?
  8. Etihad are now offering quite a few more tickets in the 93,000 baht range. As usual I moved too soon......... Etihad offer the inclusive chauffeur cars which can save me quite a few thousand baht, and it sure is convenient. Nice Merc at the Manchester end, and getting picked up/ dropped right at the terminal is nice.
  9. Getting a baht bus these days isn't like it used to be. I end up on motorcycles more often than not. Too often it is like they are ridiculing you slowing down, or stopping, only to drive off before you get there. Only ones that stop are packed........ As I rode on the back of a bike down second Rd at 2am Friday we passed a mile of empty parked up baht buses choking up the roads. Most on the move seem to be empty searching for a Russian family in need of a ride to The Ambassador I guess. PBG does pub-grub?
  10. Helen Mirren
  11. Tim Roth
  12. Glad to see the USA back on top!
  13. Samuel L Jackson.
  14. Patricia Arquette
  15. It's way on the other side of Klang!
  16. A series I really got into, some years after it was produced,being shown on Star World while I was in Saudi...House of Cards. To be honest a night in-front of the TV years ago in the UK was quite entertaining, some good stuff at 8pm. It has been a sad decline, all I see now is silly cooking programs, quizzes, people auctioning off their old crap (advised by an orange man with incredulous hair) and those looking to buy a house in 1995.
  17. I remember being hooked on the series.. Rich Man Poor Man (with Nick Nolte) as a kid. Some of the BBC stuff was entertaining too.... Edward the king. The Onedin Line And I never went out for a pint until Spitting Image was done.
  18. Quite a baht bus ride.
  19. Pattaya one. I think many buses come from Sattahip go on to Monument.Here is a web site. The TGF uses another one, as she can phone up and they will pick her up near the house..... we live near Suk 10km North of town.
  20. Mr Ed. I thought they could have done much more with such a clever talking horse.
  21. Just the leg department..... more general I think. I notice lately the Thai toddlers....kids aged a few years to 7 or 8, all quite rotund. Often their fat little faces being fed by hand. I am often sat in Thai occupied restaurants looking at the tables packed with food, and some little butterball being force fed while he/she plays with the smart phone.
  22. Yes, there are many. Opposite Pattaya Park Hotel on Klang and from the Petronas Gas Station on Suk.
  23. Two Moon Junction.
  24. No biggie...shall we just continue..... (A Touch of Class)
