I actually just flew back to Bangkok on Etihad, Biz Class from Manchester, departing Saturday night.The Airbus from Manchester was good, and the cabin looked like an upgraded one. I was less than happy with the transfer in Abu Dhabi, had to go from Terminal 1 to three and through a zoo scrum of security. There was separate security checks for Biz Class but in the bedlam it was being used by all. The queue was way back down the connection tube.Perhaps early AM is not a good time to transit Abu Dhabi. IFE on the second leg was problematic too.

While in the UK I used a dongle to get internet via the mobile phone network.(3G) In Thailand I can just connect my mobile phone to the laptop (via USB or bluetooth) and get onto the internet, I suppose a dongle can be bought too if you must. That is always GPRS or Edge and not very fast. I doubt my ADSL is good enough for video streaming.

That is scary stuff!

As many say, one mans meat is another's poison.The fact that MK is in there detracts from the others. Three coins has been recommended to me by a pal, but I considered the person as well. He lives extremely close,is not the type to walk very far and epitomises the English stodgy food type. Sorry I can't help. my favourite place is eating at home, and the few restaurants nearby that don't involve driving in town.

I am a bit nervous of late anyhow, as I got one of those emails in May from a 'friend' that I stupidly clicked on the link within and my email got hacked!

That link too is blocked with a warning for me!

When I tried to log on this AM...Pattaya Talk was blocked and a red warning came up... it linked to a page containing this. Do not click on links....

Well the comment was aimed specifically at the RR engines which you claimed exploded and were dangerous. I thought your wife was coming this trip, hence the alternative airline and better accommodation.

Once in the Life.

Shouldn't you be posting head-banger music.......?

To take with your wife.

There used to be quite a few accidents on the steep hill and bend around there, particularly when raining.And the flyover was once a congregation area for the kiddy bike gangs..... But I think riding the bike at night is always risky.....

I always have some of that cheddar popcorn.......With a smoky flavour cause I always burn it in the microwave.

Yes I agree.....had England had to face Spain they would have run rings around the England side. An entertaining game and a display by a team that really plays as one.

Ray Liotta

Correct..... I believe Bratpack had a connection.

To be exact, under the category Meanest National Carriers.... United Airlines had the highest rate of consumer complaints in 2011, beating out all other airlines with 2.21 complaints per 100,000 passengers. As a result, United received the worst AQR score out of the 11 national carriers ranked. Headley suspects that the company's $3 billion merger with Continental Airlines is to blame. "Anytime you have two airlines trying to combine, one of those airlines is going to have a period of decline," he explains. United also experienced a drop in its percentage of on-time arrivals, and the number of lost or damaged bags increased from 3.4 per 1,000 passengers to 3.66. Doesn't BigDUSA recommend them?
