Perhaps being adjusted for the padding a certain BM was giving you......but you have nice healthy positive to start afresh from, I wouldn't get paranoid over it.Get yourself back over here, it is relatively quiet and much more pleasant without all those darned Ruskies about!

There was the 101 businesses rumour going around years ago, all these places had illegally built out over the sea on WS, and were apparently all going to be knocked down. Some spent millions on discos they were so worried. City Hall were completely unable to organise the sequencing of the traffic lights at the Suk/Klang junction some years back, and after the chaos put them back the way they were.Money will drive the changes.......

Are you saying that THEY (City Hall?) come round with a truck, take apart a beer bar off the front and pack all the bits of wood and coolers onto the back and rebuild it on soi Buakhao? I haven't seen this happen, has anybody else...does it occur at say 6am when nobody is about and they turn the key in the ignition as they see MM's back move into the distance? You know, I am not so sure they worry too much about offending the tourists by having a beer bar on the corner of 7 and 1st Rd, reducing the number of tarts and lowlifes under the coconut trees would be a more obvious target. Perhaps 'planning permission' is giving that impression, or financial factors are driving things that way. Likely someone wanting to build a hotel or Mall can offer a better quick profit to a landowner, than a monthly 20,000 baht rent. Not sure what use a car park is that you can't get to either.... I am more concerned by the arrival of agency girls, the 4000 baht barfine and steps up to GGBs.

Motorcycle taxi will run you down the soi.

Very professional.... I used to have a Mk1 type like yours, but BBQ went out of favour when fishing produced less yield. You got a big tall hat and apron?

Now now, if it was a cartel like BA/Virgin they would be exactly the same.

I hope some twat wasn't following you recording it.

No, the ancient posts I looked at more than suggested that jjprodigy was using his quota daily to up Gabor. (He has outed himself).Quite indicative that his full +ve quota could not overwhelm the negatives Gabor could generate from others himself. I don't grasp why any would protest the rep system by abusing it, but I suppose I left my infant mentality behind with my bandy wobble walk. It takes all types to make up a world.

I have 2 of those Saijo Denki units and mine are reversible...ie they can heat too. (Well there is a HEAT selection on the remote although I have never needed to use it!). A gecko got inside one (had 3 once) and zapped it and itself and I couldn't get a replacement circuit board, so swapped it for a Samsung. Always felt my old Saijos to be better units than the Samsung.

I had been looking at posts where I think Gabor gave reputation rather than received. So my error.As you say it is obvious that a now 'no longer active' BM was in there padding Gabor's reputation. I am more intrigued to wonder how close this BM was to Gabor.........?

When I flew to SFO we went over more of Canada than the USA!

Darn it I followed your 'procedure' and looked at a couple of very old Gabor posts that had received single positives. I was shown as the only visitor to the thread and now it appears I am the vote padder!!!! I guess I forgot to select received......... I see a BM who is no longer active and CT who probably has also been playing detective!

Didn't know I could use the KLM lounge on the way back... wish I had as the flight and facilities of KLM economy to Manchester were shit. Sometimes with quite a wait.

That sounds good, and I don't think you are coming off as a bad guy, perhaps a little impatient with those wishing to clarify things. As an Expat who is only allowed out once or twice a week, I tend to plan ahead and like to know what the deal is ahead of time. Beer bars are notorious for having varying rules and regs.

Good luck with the businesses.

Big Momma's House

Stopped even trying to go there at weekends, last time I was seated on the outer edges and poorly served. They preferred attending the large parties. There are several seafood restaurants on that stretch of coast going as far as the 36 junction, but I like a scruffier place on Sukhumvit itself.

Yes, she certainly is. So this Miss Cherry Lynne was a customer?

I recently got hit in the gut over an 'investment' that I had held for a couple of years and had reportedly been doing well..... reports can be deceiving, or a deception themselves. My own greed pressed me to leave the money there where it was 'doing well', supposedly. I may be less cocky on investment issues for a while.

When I arrived recently, about 6pm, we were stacked up for over 1/2 hour waiting to land. Reported to be busy, but it didn't look like it when we eventually landed. Immigration was light and quick (I used fast track but there were few people at the regular queues), but the wait for luggage was longer than normal at 20 minutes.

It would better serve customers if Etihad could mange to use only one terminal. ( A feat beyond BA!). To be honest at first I was pleased when arriving at T1, that there was no security check to get into the terminal, (and parked at the building jetway) but less pleased when at the lounge I was told the next flight was from another building.... the 10 minute walk I was told was optimistic too, irrespective of the crowding. I quite like Etihad, particularly the chauffeur cars supplied. But the poor ground handling would put me off and I would look at Qatar again....no limo and bussed to the building, but an excellent separate premium transfer.building. Anyone know whether Etihad have improvement plans.
