    New Car

    Yes of course he did.....Perhaps if he had told you that someone paid over the odds for it you would have been less distressed. After all, greed is good.
  2. Yes, I have wondered about the language block or is it a 'one thing at a time' brain block you get here.....? Soda, no ice...'You want ice?' Pepper steak, medium, with french fries. 'How you like cook'...... Err medium 'Chip or baked potato'... So come on guys, help these poor gals out, one thing at a time.
  3. Bloody things are everywhere, and the surrounding streets too, not just the one up to the Bangkok bank.But as a place to live I found this pretty good. During the day the dogs laze around, coming back at night I was on a bike and they left me alone. Once I even saw some guys blowdarting them and taking them off in cages. One of my small problems with living in LOS is their attitude to their pets and strays.
  4. Yes I was going to make that comment... but I couldn't find the MU game last weekend so I wonder if that situaation will last.I seem to reacall some mention that the EPL wanted the SA channels to move the location to prevent SE Asia effectively picking it up for free. This Thaivisa thread discusses it, as someone says, I will be happy if I can see the last games for this season.
  5. For the most part they are done.... these are words that came forth.They aren't, without engines, they aren't even aircraft.
  6. Either they are built or they are not......Minus engines doesn't sound like an aircraft 'ready to go' to me.

    Nightmarch

    Well there is a box saying Night Walker, and it is filed under Nightmarch. The advert at the end looking for a writer sort of gives it away somewhat!
  8. This guy is loaded, hardly typical..... Welcome to the board and I hope you get to double digits.....
  9. Effing queue jumper, let me at him, I'll kill him,....
  10. One wonders doesn't one. But I also am curious as to how many of these people lounging around BKK waiting for handouts have paid much income tax.

    Nightmarch

    Update much appreciated and sorry to hear of the demise of your column in the Pattaya Today (it is one of the better publications about town). I get a lot of entertainment and recommendations from your musings so I am looking forward to any future print... I don't come across the trader as much as I do the newspapers. I hope it has never been an issue for you that I like to post a link here.
  12. Complete crap.... most of these people can't even spell empire.
  13. Well why not....? I love durian which my TGF calls disgusting....
  14. It is quite a few years since I used Bombay (Mumbai) airport, and I most certainly would not choose to transit there en-route UK-LOS. On my last visit, it wasn't the 21st century yet, certainly not in Bombay airport, by a long chalk. It was a shit hole full of mosquitoes and bugs. Posts in this very forum have spoken badly of transfers in Mumbai.
  15. I would be interested to hear from anybody who witnessed this at the airport. It smells a bit of sensationalism and perhaps journalistic licence. I would be quite aggrieved if I could not get to my Biz Class check-in for all these backpackers welfare state scroungers lounging around and making trouble. Glad to see our consular services putting down their sherry and helping out their people.
  16. Yeah I kinda thought the same thing... perhaps should have kept a bit of spending money by for unforeseen circumstances.Surely there is insurance too.
  17. When I was a kid a lot of bikes had these little generator wheels that could be released to be driven by the tyre, for the lights. A bit dumb really as you could be run into sitting at the traffic lights completely dark! Surely rechargeable batteries would work driven off such a device..... or even a wind turbine mounted on the bike.
  18. Killing birds for their feathers and dumping tons of alkaline batteries all over the place.... this guy is an environmental terrorist. And a nut...... Looks like he claims to be related to the Reuben brothers.
  19. Since Kingfisher is an Indian based carrier, the same plane continuing on to London is unlikely, and would be treated as a separate flight anyhow.The schedule shows A320 from BKK and A330 to London.
  20. There are normally security checks of some form as arriving international passengers are regarded as unsecured. Which Airports do you know that do not practice this?
  21. Yes, not sure about the bus and traffic situations, but at £7.50 that train ride sounds fine...... saving a £10 for the sake of 10 minutes sounds sensible to me.You mentioned £50 for a cab from West Croydon.... would that be going South to trhe M25 and round clockwise? Quite a chunk of change and we are spoiled with the £25 fare for the 120km Bangkok Airport to Pattaya.
  22. Well you should be okay with the pizza here then.
  23. It is quite saddening to learn that I too, am too old for the movies. I am never going to get that break!
