  1. Ten years left of it......
  2. Like in Catelonia....
  3. I did KSA for a good while. all over the Kingdom.I hope the money is good! I always travelled back to HQ in Dammam prior to R&R, the office kept our passports when in the kingdom.
  4. I think your question has been left unanswered so I will give it a go (since I am a mossie neurotic.. ) A zapper is a plug-in violet lamp inside a grid of metal rods with a high voltage across them. The little devil is attracted to the light, and causes a short between the rods and is killed. The one I have doesn't give off an electric spark so doesn't disturb you in the night, but I also have some tennis bat like devices which use a much higher voltage and you sweep around and get a very satisfying zap when you hit one. Great fun!
  5. That seems harsh....Run a good place, have plenty of pretty girls and reputation will build.
  6. It would seem fair that 24 hours from the OP would be ok? I can't think of anybody else who was in it.....
  7. Yes £100 was my first though but then I considered smaller places.My commiserations on the location.....Tabuk?
  8. I did say the original, can't some guys read? Heaven Can Wait 1943
  9. Going back a long long time, the original.... Heaven Can Wait
  10. Not much chance of that.....LOL.By that time I had grown weary and couldn't face pushing my way through the crowds. I was left with the handbag and my back against a coconut tree sucking on a can of Leo. I could see fine from there, fortunately being 6 inches taller than most of the crowd.
  11. You did fine.....
  12. Well obviously so did I....... but avoiding 007 this time.... The Tailor of Panama
  13. Only if, like the midget on a high floor, they can get someone to push the button for them!
  14. Are you considering lazing around all night in the airport?At £477 it would only be a good deal if transport and hotel were included, it could be £50+ for a room.
  15. Tomorrow Never Dies
  16. Well she did okay..... but certainly no tripod, just holding the camera up in the air above her head like the rest of them!
  17. I just think they are everywhere, just easier to spot in the hong-nam with the white/ tiled walls.I spray my bedroom every night, but I believe they hide in the toilet and get back into the bedroom when I have my 3am pee. Sneaky little buggers!
  18. Blimey, lucky my credit card details aren't in there........ She was lucky, she didn't even try to use the special nightime or 'fireworks' options! Mind you, there were cameras all around with the flash being utilized.......
  19. Atrocious road right now....I'll take the truck next time, need to find a dentist.
  20. The Talented Mr Ripley
  21. The 'OFF' I buy at BigC for 200 baht in an orange spray can seems to work (deet 15%) I apply around ankles and back of the knees before I park myself on the sundowner beers. It doesn't seem to irritate me and isn't malodourous. But when the mosquitos are hungry they still bit elswhere.... can't cover myself completely. I also always carry a sachet of the cream in my pocket for those odd occasions. I certainly don't want this, and have been told that once you have had one type, you become susceptible to the much more dangerous category.
  22. Chicken vindaloo and the shits.
  23. I thought Mt Toom was based in Pattaya?Well perhaps that was just one of his drivers who told me he lived pretty close to the old house.
  24. I like the better contrast and clarity of the shorter shutter.Here is one the TGF took, heaven knows what the settings were?
  25. Yes, it resulted in higher inflation.
