I bought a really nice ruby in Sri Lanka once and had it mounted. The twa$£s at the jewelers swapped the stone on me!

It is not just a question of getting rid of money. In economy you are treated like sheep, and spend hours wandering around terminals trying to find someplace to sit and kill time. When you are older, comfort and money shift in priorities. Standing in a long line to check in for an hour isn't a good start to a 20 hour journey.

I find the volume levels a little overpowering and sometimes it is cold enough to see your breath like Central park in February!

I just paid that in £ to fly Biz Class just from the UK. So price is good.....

I am inclined to think the food/ drinks and entertainment for guests consumes more of it.

Generally I go to Lake Mabprachan, you catch some of the guys from the villages having fun and it can be extremely interesting. There was a dance stage last time and a collection of matronly women in red dresses available for short time (dance only.. ). There is a fair set up on both sides of the lake, problem is the amount of traffic, although parking is laid on. I generally take the bike as getting down Soi Siam CC can be impossible in a car if you leave it late. You can go down Chaiyapornwithi Rd to get to the fare at the other side near Wat Nongprue. I also once enjoyed a nice Loy Krathong at the far end of Jomtiem Beach.

I didn't see any picks of you passed out this year, resplendent in your pink!Does that meean you have learned how to drink now?

It's Thai season I guess.

Rubies and blue or pink saphires.I wouldn't get involved myself as I don't have the knowledge and have been burned before. Google it.....

AA are a broker, not an insurance company. So the price increase was not down to them...That isn't to say AXA isn't good, it is just that I would expect AA to offer you AXA. I believe my first car insurance was AXA through AA. On renewal the increase was quite substantial so I asked AA for altenate companies and they offered another which was much less.

Some booths will take a copy of your passport, and further visits won't need you to take it.Or just change a lot when you arrive.

I booked one for January.... it was $286 so I hope YOU are talking per ticket!They do 'nickel and dime' you a lot,but still cheaper and more convenient than Singapore... and a lot cheaper than Thai.

Fergie making a mistake....... Well they went the couple of miles down the M61 to Bolton and this year didn't give them their usual drumming. I watched that and didn't think Bolton looked that good.

Well I think I will have someone come in and build something. But I haven't got any space 'at the back' so likely need something that looks a little more like part of the existing building(s). The problem is the existing tiled roof, extending that is always awkward. Extend it onward and it must come downward and it becomes too low. I also do not want it to become a jumping point to the perimeter wall (hence the limited space at the back). I am somewhere between your idea and a full fledged extension for 120k or so. I will run power into it and maybe end up with a combined toolshed/ workshop. I am very much a procrastinator, and like to plan things to death before committing cash.
