  1. Could microwave it or put it in the freezer.....
  2. Some days less, maybe 140-160. We have normally 2 dishes and rice. The meat is somewhat better than a lot of Thai restaurants too, for example the laab moo won't have bits of bone, skin, nose, ears and intestine....and whatever... But you have a point, for 135 baht you can get aa plate of roast chicken, mash and vegatables that taste of nothing in 'The Seasider.'. My gal does a mean plate of ribs...
  3. Well I would have to go into my modem/router and program it.Getting a bit deep for the average Joe..... (not kicker, far from average)
  4. Don't fall for that line...... Actually when you settle down and build up a stock of condiments and whatever it can be somewhat cheaper and better. Markets on the other side of Sukhumvit are cheaper and my TGF whizzes off on the little bike each day we eat in, 250 baht covers a good meal and maybe the purchase of fresh fruit for breakfast and tangerines for a glass of juice.... Trouble is you need to get a live-in, then other costs raise their head.
  5. Now now Wac, the latest 747 is hardly like the earlier ones...... like the latest mini isn't like the awful original.Limiting the naming to 7x7 is somewhat restrictive for Boeing...... perhaps they will delve into alpha-numerics after the 797? I was intriqued by the claim that this latest 747 was more efficient than the A380, and the 787 is a 'new generation'... Boeing, the second best, seem to be heading in a sensible direction.
  6. I recall that the Polish housemaids in the hotel used mine liberally....... didn't help much...
  7. And that is your problem because?
  8. Plenty of choice but I like Best supermarket, near the Dolphin roundabout.
  9. Sir Winston scored for Harrow in extra time, but preferred fencing.
  10. Some of the hardwoods here won't be touched by termites, and teak is known to be well resistant, but you are right, once they get in, everything can be eaten away requiring a wood rip-out.My TGF would love this but regular wood treatment would scare me off. A labour of love.... This one has been around for a while.....
  11. I couldn't get comfy in either, there seemed to be hard bits poking me and the 'flat' position brought on a back ache. I agree the seats were better on the 777, but that was negated by brattish kids nearby that boarded in Qatar.
  12. Fools never differ........
  13. 20% pa return isn't so bad. Providing no taxes and the 1.5 million will be there when you decide to get out.
  14. LOL, well I guess they must be trucking them up the M6 then if they aren't ex Abu Dhabi too!
  15. I guess you mean on the Manchester leg?I flew Biz on Qatar and didn't feel much difference between the 2 aircraft, except one being bigger.... but more capacity is good!
  16. It is a frequent desire of theirs to have a little business, to be a boss. It is also a frequent desire to transfer wealth, yours to her family. Is the aim to actually make a profit, or to keep her 'occupied'...? A laundry business isn't going to make much money, is your GF the type to commit herself and work herself and not lose interest later on? (I recall a post sometime back of some guy buying the TGF a convenience store, but she soon lost interest in getting up to open the place) I think 150k is a bargain if you desire more time to yourself, and your shirts would look good, but is she up to the job?
  17. I have not had many issues with Sophon, although when I lived more central it would frequently vanish for an hour or two mid-morning, as, I presume, they were expanding or maintaining the network.Once or twice I called them out and had maintenance guys in the street soon after climbing poles. I have always found them pleasant and helpful in the office too. Compared to TOT, they are quite wonderful.....
  18. Crowns cost between 7000 and 15000 baht per tooth in Pattaya, although I am unsure if front teeth differ. Here is a link to send to her.
  19. He prefers laps at the back not curtains.
  20. Hey, getting on his 'Ignored' list is my ambition, like Forbes Top 100.Might be safer than this party at Kolobos' gaff.
  21. Since this has not been deleted, perhaps I can answer here if it is okay with you and your alter ego!Top of the page.... My Controls.... Left side under 'options'....click 'Manage Ignored Users' Take it from there...
  22. Cars don't have an 'Earth', they are on rubber tyres. It is 'called' a negative 'Earth' but in reality it just means the whole body is the negative terminal. Good luck, these problems can be a pain to find.
  23. For the price, it is reasonable. I get to see live Premiership football, English Language films, several English Language news channels and the TGF gets her Thai soap operas... for 3000 baht/year.... yes year. If you want to pay that for a couple of months, have to put some silly receiver on your roof, have decoder boxes cluttering up your house.... not forgetting needing one with each TV that costs, sure, go with True.
  24. Paragon were in the news recently after a founding member was arrested for misappropriation of funds. I hope no BMs were caught up in that.
  25. Oh good, another tattooed lout wandering around Pattaya without a shirt on, we are short of those.
