  3. Pedantic, I said slaves!
  4. It is not the acceleration that will kill you, it is the deceleration.
  5. Well phones are not normally rated at 220/240v, the chargers are. Rather a poor quality charger that doesn't handle the higher voltage and passes that over to the phone to fry it!
  6. Must be the little flag that costs a lot. I have just arrived in the UK and the savouries are still good (pies, sausage rolls, pasties and the like), a decent burger is probably unavailable, thank god! But you haven't lived until you have had a steak and kidney pudding.
  7. And things can sometimes get a bit confused and a traffic jam will occur with other aircraft service vehicles. The wait isn't extreme, but when waiting to get to or from the lounge after a 7 hour flight, ten minutes stationary really irritates. I wonder if this airport will suffice as the airline expands. I just did Etihad Biz Class and the on-board service from Bangkok was utter rubbish... improved on my next leg but since I passed most of that asleep I don't suppose they needed to do much.
  8. Bar woman desn't have the same ring to it does it now?Similarly GGG etc etc
  9. You find plenty of dark ones in Brazil..... and light ones too, quite a mix. African slaves went there.
  10. Smothering it with bacon, jack cheese and mushrooms (and probably ketchup), I wonder why you would need to worry about taking In fact that was a comment a friend made, a USA guy was doing the honours making the food, when I was in Saudi Arabia...'so much crap on it (pickles, ketchup, onions, cheese, relish etc etc) can't taste the meat'.... You would probably not notice if they left the meat out.... like they do at Subway here! I have actually eaten at these Brazilian type places, in Brazil, and similar in Argentina. Plenty of meat there..... came out like a lead filled beach ball!

You would probably not notice if they left the meat out altogether.... like they do at Subway here!
  12. I wouldn't be so sure..... it has been a slightly odd year so far. Not much of a hot season and, in the Pattaya area, not much rain in August and little so far this month.

  14. I did like Tex-Mex while down in Texas, and the BBQ ribs etc. I think it was the Taco Bell quesadillos I was very keen on. But burgers never did much for me, a piece of prime rib was much better.I much prefer a Thai omelette with the minced pork in it than the ones Dennys served up. My problem with food when in the USA was there was always too much of it! And I am weak. But seriously, 900 baht for burger and coke and onion rings. Surely one of the English pubs can serve that up for much less.
  15. I certainly have come across some European's version of medium rare being closer to raw than I liked, being more familiar with UK/USA levels of cooking. No explanation as to why two would be different is there? Only good steak gets away with being cooked rare, that and the fear of blue have driven me to order medium, solely to avoid disappointment.
  16. At this place we believe they do, couldn't find it itemised on the bill but both times we have eaten behind the glass the bill has seemed 100 baht or so more.
  17. I know what a burger is, pre-chewed meat, I lived in the USA more than 4 years.Glad the Merlin hotel serves up such a good one. Four years you should be over comparing prices with 'home'.... home is here now.
  18. Denzel Washington.
  19. My meal cost me about £20 last night. A fresh small grouper steamed, Tom Yam Kung, fried morning glory, a large Leo, a water and ice. A bit pricey as I ate in the AC section... yes in Thailand.
  20. Mind you, if you have started at the Dolphin roundabout perhaps you already passed the place getting there. Let's start from where everyone starts from, the bus-station.
  21. Unless they were heading to Bang Saray beach.... Sorry, no I thought your directions were fine and was confused by the 4niceight post.
  22. Quite commonplace for shops (not only restaurants) to claim the pavement out front. For mechanics it is their workplace.
  23. Nice to learn something... never knew there was one on Pattaya KlangThe one on North rd surely is the oldest as it has been there for years. Also a small one opposite the Tesco Convenience shop, behind Numchai, Sukhumvit opposite the Church.
  24. I watched that news report on pattaya One News on Sophon last week and I am sorry to say my first thought was Som nam na for the truck driver......
  25. How long have you been living in Pattaya now? When I was living in Bangladesh my lunch cost me next to nothing, so what? Onion rings and coke, wish I could aspire to such culinary heights.
