  1. I have always thought of LG as the cheap man's Samsung.
  2. How sure are you of that? I thought 'modified' motorcycles were illegal, ie those with a home made side-car similar to the food sellers. Yes of course there are many on the roads but as they are used to make an income the police turn a blind eye. Except when a farang is driving, much to the chagrin of someone who used to moan about it at the Expats meeting years ago.
  3. I see on the news that China has blocked all Airbus orders in protest of the EEC carbon tax. Link And Hong Kong Airlines may cancel... Link What a good idea!
  4. You can book via their website but the flight is operated by Silk Air.
  5. For who the bell tolls.
  6. Humphrey Bogart.
  7. Yes, that would be too easy......
  8. Life in Canada eh?Why not watch TV, or did the capacitors explode?
  9. Not fancy mentioning Crazy Dave's. After the Siam Bayview told me their brekky was 300 baht ++ I don't mind paying the Pig and Whistle price!
  10. Luck of the draw, mine has been good for 5 years now...the LG was problematic from the day I plugged it in but subsequently repaired free.Bought mother a Samsung which has been going a long time. All of them made in China anyhow!
  11. The money can simply be redirected to an account offshore in the name of Buster Bulldog.
  12. Well with your handle and the little room, quite a few puns you packed in there.
  13. I just jumped in and bought my Biz Class BKK to Manchester........ Etihad were coming in cheapest (excluding rubbish airlines) and when I took a look recently what was over 98,000 baht last week, was available at 88,060 baht, so I jumped in. Now that it is bought for sure the specials will come pouring out!
  14. You can never be sure, looks a bit like a Nokia mobile cable I got recently too.It seems to be standard for many Panasonic Cameras though (Lumix DMC range).
  15. I have always been a little surprised by this...... and pondered why such good little places exist in an area that I make an effort to avoid. I would only ever go there to go to Tuk Com, and likely at 11.00 am. Horrible traffic, nowhere to park, scruffy, and an area that definitely leans to one side. Coming back to your motorcycle and finding puffs sitting on your seat preening themselves in your mirrors doesn't endear me any more. Good report.
  16. It is small for me on Firefox.
  17. A comment I got from my friends staying there was they keep the place spotless.
  18. I also have the letter 'H'...
  19. Edmond O'Brien
  20. The mark of a great actor, able to play the part.His fridge in the trailer was stocked with beer!
  21. I doubt you would have been inclined to tell him so!
  22. Yes one of the great all time characters. I still remember him turning up for a Parky interview 'as a newt'.
  23. Yes TVs,DVDs and Aircons are the only items I am likely to need, but they of course do computers and a big one is mobile phones. There are cameras, fridges, washing machines, ovens, vacuum cleaners, printers. Worked out pretty well for you with a repair on a computer bought outside LOS, but a friend of mine has had a lot of problems with his laptop but keeps taking it back to somewhere in Tukcom.
  24. I had reason to use that place recently (I fucked up my remote).... although you have to sit and wait for ages to be served, the service was polite and they have at least one girl who speaks good English. Are they only good for IT items and parts?
  25. Yes I remember Jeddah gin, made with 5's. 5 tins of grapefruit juice, 5 bags of sugar, and brewed for 5 days!Sidiqui and tonic was better drink!
