The fare sounds good but Googling the airline brings up a few negatives. This comment concerned me.. Business class DO NOT exist in their planes for long distance. They just move curtains, so it’s the same seats as economy My efforts were minimal, I suggest you do a bit of research, and good luck.

John Malkovich...(Why would Grand Torino be too hard, his step son/true son was in it?)

Yes they seem to be falling apart...... I am tempted to say ManCity...... money maketh the team.

Great slant on Western....Clint Eastwood....

A repeat and I have to go to a Brit! Richard Harris

Many to choose from here, but let us do....Anthony Quayle.

Okay, so the bank sell them to you and just take their commission, but they are a HSBC product and hence still involved. Fund ManagerHSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Ltd. You are correct that the bank should no longer be involved, whether they were needed in the first place is questionable then. So we now have an investment that YTD is showing 3.8%, an initial charge of 4%, an annual charge of 1.25% (win or lose) and is based mainly in equities (US, UK, Europe Ex UK). The UK FT index currently stands below where it was Jan08, as of course does the Dow. If you invested in Feb09, you will have done okay. But for 2010, so far the markets have been a roller coaster ride going nowhere. Good luck with it.

Oh I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am wondering what perentage of riders here do have valid motorcycle licences... bet it would be under 50! The only issue really is 'road savvy' at home doesn't quite cover here!A bike came at me yesterday evening and I could have sworn the sole rider was only 6!

Leslie Phillips was easy for me, I grew up in the UK amidst all the 'Carry On' Films.....so for Venus, and to lead you I can only think ofPeter O''Toole

No, we had this discussion elsewhere where someone was ordering traveller's cheques in £ and they were face cost, no charges.Of course that is normally why they advertise 'commission free' TCs, they want you to buy them in $, Euros or whatever then give you a poor rate.

You should call Newcastle based Gazelle Travel.....

Well 'overseas rates' should not apply. It is always best to travel over here with £, or send £ to a Thai bank. Never buy baht there! The Nationwide Flex account always got the rave reviews as previously it did not charge for the use of the ATM overseas, I believe that is not the case now. Perhaps Lloyds with the free £ travellers cheques... Myself I go for a bank with good internet services which make transferring to Thailand straight-forward and reasonably priced. HSBC 's Internet works well, and I have had a lot of negative feedback regarding Barclays, they make it hard to transfer your money.

If it is a managed fund, don't you have to pay annual charges?

I like 'what a crock' from the USA.. 'You're talking shite' always seems to hit the mark....

I'll take your review, sounds more likely.Men in frocks waving their arms about and miming doesn't do it for me either. I laughed when I first saw the Tina Turner takeoff but that is overdone and tired now....

Leslie Phillips.....

Errr Christian Bale.....

Banks have recently proven themselves to be very good at mismanaging money. They needed government bailouts and continued to pay themselves bloated bonuses, money that should have gone elsewhere. If you are invested via a bank, you are behind the employees and the shareholders in the dole-out.HSBC World Selection Dynamic... I notice they charge you 4% initial so it is an immediate loss. The YTD figure is 3.76, less than the initial charge. Source..., hardly mind-blowing. I made more last month on one of my investments....

I live here and own a motorbike..... you are correct, it is quite dangerous.

Confusing post but I guess you are telling us you only have a UK car licence.....So basically you ride around illegally, unlicenced and inexperienced..... yes you should be careful, I will be too!

She would be in the Thai one...
