Seem to be a few off topic post bouncing around. Back on topic, it's ABSOLUTELY pissing down right now where I live, just north of Pattaya.

High season jinxes? I tried the PBG twice, on recommendations I read here... both times I was unhappy with the wait time and the food. Many Thailand restaurants fall to pieces when they get busy. The Coolhouse has served me a cold pepper steak twice in the last month or so, they won't again. I am not much into up-market eating as I am frequently in a hurry to go on the town and just need a good base to put many beers on. I join the cheap Charlies in The Seasider, consistent basic food if you don't mind the dogs around your ankles. Pete shouldn't need to be told.

Jeez, battery life of 2 days and carping on about it like that is good. I get fed up recharging my mobile every 5. Don't know why they can't use the bigger batteries they put in the cameras instead of those like an after dinner mint.

It just seems worse this year to me. Trips to Jomtiem were always a hassle but the bog standard back down 2nd rd was previously easy. It is a tourist town and the locals thrive on ignorance.

Yeah right.... and who will police that?

Would it not be taken off you as over 100ml of water?

It never rains in February some guy said to me as I peered out of the window in Carrefour, looking at my motorbike parked there, that was last week. Fortunately yesterday I got back ahead of it.... it is deadly out there on a little bike when the rain and strong winds come. I am also going to have to buy a weather-proof light fitting as the fancy one I got from Homepro lets the water in and the bloody bulbs pop at 100+ baht a time. Spent 3x what it cost me for the fitting on bulbs so far. Ah well, it was pleasantly cool and the air was clear later as I drank a cold one looking out over the grass that I didn't have to water......and watching the sodden cat skulk in, head down, was a bit of a chuckle,

The police will get to the bottom of it.

It is utterly infantile and selfish.... truly Thai exaggerated by farang imbeciles.

Absolutely..... I have had to wait for a baht bus for several minutes after a night out... I normally try to get one after walking through soi 15 to Phratumnak, and catch one going straight across Tai down second rd. You can see them being packed in like sardines across the street to go to Jomtiem, and a similar process is going on across Tai, with dozens of empty busses queueing, blocking the road, and again Thais acting like herdsmen. No chance to flag one there... Many pass empty, many seem to refuse, they are basically looking for private hires and the 10 baht pickup system (which I believe is their charter) ignored. I have been there 10 minutes sometimes and I look for a bus with 2-3 Thais in and just jump on. High season antics.

Oh I am sure they have ample experience regarding fitting in.

So every airline that does not require this has lesser security?I thought the security was the responsibility of the airport. (El Al excluded). It might well be to stop little Tommy flying from Toronto to Tokyo after getting his hands on daddy's credit card. The airline protecting themselves from Credit Card fraud is the reason, as the money could be claimed back after the flight. What happens in the case of a corporation purchasing flights for their employees heaven knows.

So that means we still have Out of the Past up.....? Kirk Douglas

Yeah, you never read about people being found dead in or below the windows of condos do you?

Remember him very well as the bad guy from the series 'Rich Man Poor Man' which arrived in the UK and kept me infront of the TV for a while. For a film, I shall go with... Hulk
