  1. No hope..... I see MU penalty woes again, not good for that level!
  2. I probably did what you did mate and checked their list to find them not in there. But the style points to maybe, or a copycat outfit.
  3. To stop the water going in there.... Perhaps an idea as a shock absorber, because I expect a bit of crumbling when any heavy traffic goes over it. They do seem to waste a lot of time correcting previous miserable planning!
  4. One thing you have to watch with these types of keys. I had one I kept amid a bunch attached to my belt tab, with the front door key and gate opener etc I never used it as of course I just plugged the number in my safe... but one day I tried to test it and it wouldn't work. I discovered that the many years of banging around in the bunch had damaged or worn the cut-outs on the circular key, of which I also only had one! Fortunately I could open it and then replaced the lock. I agree @Grandpollo that it is still a useful lockup.
  5. Today's rates at TT.
  6. Considering the theoretical swing away from the naughty industry, it is perplexing that an obvious example of it, like a body massage venue, would spring up.... And can anyone afford them any more? I wonder if one of the older ones is due to be flattened?
  7. They must use some complicated formula with delays in it. If the margins were too close maybe a sudden drop would catch them out! It spiked up as you say, and has the potential to spike down. Let's not get too political in this thread though.
  8. Haha, well the name worked well for perfume my Mrs dabs on herself.
  9. It is presumably defective? The key is meant to be an over-ride when batteries are flat or you forget the keypad code.
  10. I haven't been in Hooters since soon after it opened. There is no gray area between eating and full on GGB, Pattaya style for me. She is a cutie though.
  11. I have yet to catch the news, it hasn't looked positive for Boris yet but I want us to be steered or expelled out of Europe whatever happens now. A 'club' so difficult to leave is surely not a place to be! I took a TT picture last night but Le Baz has made it redundant. Expenditure on the crawl was high!
  12. Is that SAS? I have used them a couple of times but lately it seemed they were not sound. I thought they were close to going bankrupt and feared flights might suddenly get cancelled with people being stranded. I used them many years ago and there was a problem with the long haul aircraft, they told me it got hit by lightening and they had to downgrade me to economy. I got a refund voucher and could get the cash in Bangkok.... airlines are usually not so compliant with refunds.. seemed like extra spending money.
  13. I just saw it again and didn't think so. Blasted it straight at the keeper.
  14. Pai is very touristy, but these pics make me feel like visiting again. I have done the Mai Hong Son loop a couple of times, once many years ago using public transport, and another later in a truck. Stopped in a little tree house over a river valley in Pang Mapha. I was surprised how pleasant it was. Great coffee and breakfasts. I recall finding a bar run by a Thai lady whose Scottish husband was away working, but was selling off rather generous samples of his single malt collection for 60 baht a glass. I also recall changing money in the bank in Mae Hong Son and getting the best rate I ever saw for my sterling. Caught a bus from there and had the scariest ride ever where I thought we would be over the edge, or rolling back out of control to our demise. It broke down in the middle of nowhere and we were stranded for many hours.
  15. Lift it up and get the guy with the grinder back!
  16. She was likely thinking of cashing it in next week!
  17. It is where the Expats Club meets on Fridays. Yes the pool area has had some work, a few slides and showers to make it appeal to children, and is quite decent, although it has been hemmed in by condo buildings around. There is a coffee shop type of place and meals served around the pool. Not been in a room for a while but remember they used to be small dog friendly, although I think that was reserved for particular floors. My problem with the place is they now get many Indian customers. Sometimes a coach load arrives in the morning and it seems they have breakfast included and will pack the coffee shop.
  18. Grumpy Old Men
  19. Is the issue mostly price as I find flights of 15.0 -> 17.0 hours quite easily, and mostly landing early morning in Manchester. (That is the topic)? I find the European carriers, like BA and KLM now schedule with late Manchester arrivals, which doesn't suit me at all.
  20. Yes. and free visas for Chinese and Indian..... they are the preferred market.
  21. Stock markets dive after German results announced. Everyone blamed Brexit for the UK economy contracting but it is happening to Germany too. No deal seems the only solution! I have posted rates in GGB Reviews.
  22. The flight Helsinki to Bangkok with Finn Air is okay BUT the flight from Manchester to/from Helsinki is on some budget carrier and for me was bad. My friend flew Oman and spoke highly of it. Personally I am an Emirates fan though. Avoid BA!
  23. You do right to be wary. Quite a few Thais renting cars only have regular insurance, and in the event of an accident I would be worried whether it would apply. I too suggest you talk to Pool Hustler.
  24. Interesting. That makes me wonder wrt the health of Emirates. All that investment on capacity and numbers dropping.
