I have not been asked, and would not be inclined to offer support. I believe the TGF sends or gives a bit now and again to her mother from her paltry allowance! A request for a loan from a sister was met by my TGF and repaid quickly. I think I am fortunate that her family take care of themselves.

I just received an email joke....God talked to Farrah Fawcett, saying, 'You have lead a good life, I grant you any wish for the world'... Farrah thought a moment and decided...'I want all children to be free from victimization, God protect the little children' Guess who he took next........ Although from what I see on the BBC and Fox, and the interview with Al Sharpton, MJ ws pretty close to a God himself!

Well the BBC have been harping on for 26 minutes now.It really is OTT.

Yes, and we enjoyed this platform to vent our discontent, a freedom 'not permitted' in our homeland! Have to get back to 'grumblimg mumblings' in the smoke room!

Thank for that glynbuk. How are the facilities at the terminal in Abu Dhabi? I had forgotten the penchant for 'bare feet' but I would likely see that on Qatar and Emirates too!

Yes it is dark, and several months back an English guy died close to where I am. Chasing some punks (or being chased), ended up in a collision with a vehicle.But back to the OP, I think these houses are interesting. Priced sensibly... probably be 20 million for the same space and a seaview for a condo! There's a bit more crime on the Beach Rd too!

Post a link, I can't get anything other than 'resource cannot be found'.Maxnet (my ISP) here in Pattaya has been messed up for a few days though,

You might be right on Abu Dhabi having a new terminal as I haven't been there for a few years. So anybody out there who knows.... ? I was looking for outward about (can move a few days each way) 8th September, back about 25th. Nothing booked yet.

It's a pain in the arse to drive up at about 4-7pm.Too much traffic, a market, poor lighting and a nasty drop at the edge where the sand has been washed out. Floods when it rains too! The new traffic lights cause long backups heading to Sukhumvit at peak times, I wouldn't have said 'dodgy' though (if you mean crime issues), the 'khao' roads to the south have more of a reputation.

A bit harsh, price sounded attractive if the construction quality is as good as it sounds.Also being 2 storey. Being close to Pattaya isn't everything, there the best school in town is nearby, as is the motorway. Price would have sounded better at 65 baht/£ though.

Going the other way, Bangkok to Manchester, UK, I'm looking for a September flight in Biz Class. Qatar, who I would lilke to try, are still coming in at about 85,000 (incl taxes) baht. Tom has advised me that there is a good chance some specials will be available and to hang on. I just took a look at Ethiad and they are offering about 75,000 baht. I don't like Abu Dhabi airport but that is an attractive fare. Anybody have any experience of Ethiad Biz? Or any other recommendations. I am a bit picky as I want to avoid LHR, one transit max and no layovers over 3 hours.

Are you surprised that the police didn't accept this? It is after all a bizarre 'joke' to slip something into a 'friend's' bag. Is this what passes for fun in Oz? Do you do it to each other in department stores? Then laugh as they get stopped by security as the handbag causes an alarm? I heard a similar story when talking to a Middle Eastern friend who claimed that people were slipping things into Middle Eastern women's bags as they strolled around Harrods in London. Purely a malicious racist act against his 'creed' he thought. Found it hard to give that credence too. It's not only the Thais who are xenophobic!

Right, thanks for that.

Yeah I must admit I can't find a flight on SQ for £344, mostly up in the big number region. Sorry if I misled BMs. I wonder who I see at Opodo regarding misleading me? This is the shite you get these days, prices from, without stipulation as to when.

On my last visit (Wed) a couple of the new recruits seemed to have overcome their nerves! They were still prowling in pairs though..... you could see them looking around with that let's go farang (tequila) hunting thought! Lovely cuties with the playfulness still evident.

I think BA did that one once, don't recall if the free one could be used by the same person, but I doubt it. Great deal to take the Mrs for a trip to the UK!

Words or wisdom Dr Mick. A great approach, one I aspire to. That associated with a good woman with a sensible approach. When they are good, they are very good..... but!!

Just received an email from Opodo. Singapore Airlines from Manchester or LHR, from £344. Book by 30th June for Travel 01 Sept-31st March. (Singapore is from £299, easy to travel on to LOS). Ethiad from Manchester or London, from £384. Book by 22nd June (Wow, get a move on) for travel 1st September to 30th November. Rainy season in LOS. or in the UK?...... Come on over.

I am glad you put that week to good use. That will be 'when'.

I have always felt it is worth double a cheap economy seat..... so if drunk and abusive pays £500, I don't mind paying £1000 to be elsewhere!

I love the opportunity to resolve controversy. I shall be in tonight!

Original, green mint or blue mint.........?(PS... have you seen the price of it here? )

Constant battle mate. I have sprays, repellents, coils, swatter bats, zapper bats and a zapper UV light. Finding where they are coming from, and eliminating it if possible helps. Wet ground as well as standing water to be checked. A light shirt and keep your feet impolitely high to protect those ankles. Getting the TGF to sit nearby seems to help too as they now seem to prefer her!

It's not full, plenty of room for more! You think 'pawing over girls young enough to be their grandchildren' is meaningless??
