Miaooooow....

They cancelled it as there was a fatwah issued against the designer and MD of the company.

Touche.....they probably invented the idea.

Wrong, in the UK buy your pie straight from the bakers, just cooked. That is my first point of call when I get back there... Greenhalgh's or Green's for a pie and a pastie....yum. Then off to Wetherspoons for a pint of Guinness. Pub food is what it is, in the UK and Pattaya, something quick and easy. Rarely very good,

Non apology accepted! ....

So it's next to a famous BJ bar.... I thought that was in Soi Post Office.

Slightly off topic and perhaps a gratuitous slam but I am always amused how these trading experts find it more lucrative to write books than spend their time trading.

LOL.... yeah it does kinda look like they couldn't find any 'farm fresh' girls and loaded up from the livestock! Still, they were all younger than me and hiding little! Cheap beer (in bottles) goes a long way with me! Later, I tried another blast from the past, I think it is called Top Girls (hah) well up Soi 14 WS. All drinks are 150 baht (well they were on the 'farang' pricelist I got...), continuous seedy shows, ballooons and darts style, dingy and filled with Asians nursing a coke for 2 hours the night I was there. Even the nerve to come round with a scrounging bucket..

They probably got fed up of standing around on the beach road getting wet and having their hair blown all over the place. It has been raining daily for a week now. I am pleased things are working out for this bar..... I don't see myself paying any 1000 baht barfines in the near future.

My opinion goes along with Sybarite I am sorry to say. I was in there a few days back. The shows seem to be performed a little listlessly, and I suspect little new has been introduced in a while. I like the way all the girls slide down onto the stage via the fireman's pole......(opportunity for the wags here). This place was excellent when it first came to Pattaya, of course they had to adapt to the local crowd, dumb it down and show more skin!

I am a bit nostalgic about this place, I was a regular around a decade ago... or maybe longer. Hadn't been for a while, so popped in last night..... Usual collection of pole veterans, some perhaps from my ancient visits. But a friendly lot. What I did like was the happy hour prices.... Bottle of beer, 50 baht, seemed to include all domestic brands. Soft drink can 35 baht. Draught beer was 35 baht... The happy from ran to 10pm.....from 8pm I guess. Good place to start the evening in AC comfort, before moving on to prettier girls and 120 baht beers. My beer wa

For that price, even a long weekend would be worth it!

How about just using up some BA (or BM) airmiles to get to London. Always plenty of availability.

After all that time and planning.... they didn't make it big enough!!!! When does T6 start? The explanation wrt why the BKK/SYD/SIN flights surely could be applied to other long-haul destinations. Accepted the USA being different, they could probably re-route cancelled passengers to alternate BA-USA flights. But BA-India (eg) could be transferred to Air India in T3? I always saw the BA-SYD/SIN route as major earners for BA. Perhaps they feel all of those passengers are ex-London and will not be requiring domestic or European transfers. It really is no way to treat say a 1st Class pas

Well thanks Vegaheart... always great to get feedback from someone 'on the ground'.... Are there any plans to replace the bus service with something more 21st century. Being herded and bussed around like sheep was always an annoyance at LHR? Plus 2 hour transfer times BA-BA is really quite hopeless. Why are BA flights to BKK/SYD/SIN moving to T3 rather than T5? So is it an airport or a bus terminal?

I have always respected Owen's opinions, but my practical experience has differred. I had a forex trading account recommended to me, and I saw statements for the previous 12 months showing healthy profits. So I decided it was a high risk 'gamble' and I opened an account, using money I could 'afford to lose'. The way my account works does not match the way Owen describes. They make a put or call, and I either lose or profit for each trade. They trade 5-10 times per month....if there are more gains than losses that month, I am ahead....minus charges. For example on a $10,000 account, a trade ei

I think it shows the Mancunians chase the best price.... being Ethiad lately.

Open one yourself when you get here. Manage your UK accounts over the internet. They employ halfwits in banks in the UK... and anything outside the normal sphere is poorly handled.

Off subject, but only '$75 (£42) in taxes and booking fees'. Boy do we get gouged in the UK...

I think the 'cup' is like the old table number..... she would need to have the cashier zero or clear any bill against that cup, possibly the system keeps account now that there should be 2 bills in the returned cup. I think these modern systems work well and keep the staff in check...the only downside might be a slower processing time....a good place brings the drinks while you wait on the bill to be printed up! Also when it comes to check bin time, your total is there and you can get the cash ready. The old format of a wad of bills going back to the cashier, and she returns with some obs

I have been in all the above quite recently, and similarly evaluation. . . . Beach Club, I had stayed away for a while as I didn't like the pushy '20 baht or I hardly move and keep my knees tight as a ducks bum' approach. But that pressure seems to have gone, girls are fun, service polite... enjoyed it a lot. Mistys... great layout and plenty to watch, pretty good girl attitude, but the smoke and overly loud music make it hard to stay long. Peppermint....same same as always.... well run and an untouched formula. Good service, some real nice girls Club Boesche... this place has

Wow, £29 for a room near LHR......last time I stayed at some shithole about 5km away, room the size of an American wardrobe! That was £85 when Noah was a lad...no pub nearby so a fortune in the bar! Absolutely shitty overpriced bus (Hopper service)...dragging my case on and off and walking miles. So bad I got a £15 taxi next day. How about the parking for the car for the weeks you are away?

It is buttons for me to get to Manchester Airport, the frequent train goes right in there, Obviously same same the other way. I wouldn't feel like a long train journey from LHR or LGW after an overnight flight from Bkk. Or doing the M25. Of course a shuttle on BA or British Midland is an option...about £100..or more these days? Most certainly £492 Xmas/New Year is an bargain you got there........but how do you plan to get from Galsgow to LHR..... not a cheap place the smoke. Not fancy PIA Tom?

No, I would be flying from Manchester on another airline.
