  1. Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.
  2. Bazooka that Veruca.........!!!!
  3. I think today is it and tonight will be the big last night. You can go anytime during the day to look at the bikes. Get there at sunset and stay until late. Problem will be the traffic!
  4. Surprisingly correct, although when one lives here it looks like a lot of chavs are coming over. I gave a relative a Bad guys go to Pattaya T-shirt and he said everyone in NW UK pubs kept asking him 'what is Pattaya'. I thought the place was infamous.
  5. Sweeney Todd. (The Demon Barber of Fleet St)
  6. From Hell
  7. Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire.
  8. Dressed to Kill
  9. I would rather eat tinned red salmon than watch Villa play. Mmmm, tinned red salmon with plenty vinegar, brown bread thickly buttered, a bit of lettuce and tomato, a pile of such butties on my lap and Dr Who just starting! Wonderful memories.
  10. Sally Kirkland .
  11. I think Thais just call them '7'....
  12. Yes, I had to split into 2 lumps, to meet my bank's limitation, but a few days apart, £40,000.... each time. Not much issue when it arrived either.
  13. I was pretty quick to defend the UK many years ago, when I first started working overseas. These days there hardly seems to be any point after a succession of poor politicians have failed to do so. I can still be pedantic though when I hear my fellow countrymen, or Europeans denigrating the USA. Normally they know little or near nothing of the place, while I have good memories of good people.
  14. I would have felf relief, and proud that the very skilled pilots calmly returned me to the ground, without any of us with as much as a scratch. My work presented more danger.... no wonder you got the shit kicked out of you in Vietnam if they sent over such wooses!
  15. Are you in Bangkok, Pattaya, Korat, Chiangmai, London, .....?
  16. It sounds like you are sorted for the big bird home (that explains the cheep (sic) fare ).I check this site now and again.... Massic Travel. If I see a good fare come in I will also check the airlines website. I don't know why the European carriers don't promote themselves better here and offer good discounts.
  17. Him from Happy Days...... Tom Bosley.
  18. Stop being a drama queen. Nobody got so much as a scratch.
  19. Protection against credit card fraud perhaps.... it is very much a policy of the airline and explains why sometimes it is required, sometimes not. It can be quite stringent, such that if you buy a ticket for another person, you may be required to give that person a signed declaration. So it's to ensure that the credit card is yours and is valid. Many airlines reserve the right to do such checks. Keeps the airline a bit safe from chargebacks from stolen cards and the potential real owners of the cards.
  20. I got sick from their stuff once... I think it was the salad dressing.
  21. I am in the market for a trip to Manchester about then, business class I hope. As you say not many specials about yet. I keep checking Ethiad, Qatar and Emirates. And ignoring Pakistan.
  22. Robert Morley.
  23. And with fewer flights under my belt than that in the last 5 years I say I have been asked for the card I booked with. Not every time, just some.
  24. Be sure to tell them these are Canadian, not those cheap ass tumbling down yank things!
  25. So is the Oz dollar... it's a third rate currency these days.
