Game of Thrones is good if you like Lord of the Rings, mixed with a touch of Harry Potter....... and a bit of gratuitous nudity. Very much an epic. Hard to say who will like it, I thought over-hyped but worthy. I agree with you about the Sopranos., loved it too, but I do like the gangster type things. Did you try Boardwalk Empire? I even went back into history and watched I Claudius.

Our politicians have let us down,. For too many years they sat back and let Brussels wave the stick and now can do nothing themselves. A sad state in Britain's time and i had such hopes for it. Fuck em!

It is good, but far from 'Breaking Bad'.... It deals with the time prior to BB, but never seems to go anywhere, and feels like 3 or so concurrent, loosely related plots. Slightly quirky, but watchable.

Oasis has a scribbled sign, if I recall correctly it said 'Make New Open Soon' If you want short changing meanwhile you can buy beer from the nearby 7-11. Pheromones was still chained up last Wednesday, but a sole farang was rattling the door as I passed and a Thai lady sitting in-front said to him, 'Closed, will open soon'. Perhaps she knows more than most, I never heard why it had been closed in the first place. Thanks for entertaining me another morning Monkeyman.

So awful tempted to neg it!!!

You realize the rules allow internet use if no answer is forthcoming in 24 hrs SS? But for this I don't need it... Nick Nolte

I saw him in this strange film..... Paris, Texas.

I see the format on the TT Exchange board has been changed. Now 2 columns of 15, rather than 14. The new currencies added being VND and PHP. Also Chinese and I think Russian script at the bottom. Expect the £ to tumble due to yet more recent Brexit deal setbacks.

I say YES to this..... SLASH AIR TAX Tory Brexiteers demand the Chancellor cuts air passenger duty in half to boost economy APD has soared from just £10 in 1994 to £78 on one-way economy ticket for long-haul journeys. The Sun

Ooops, forgot I took this yesterday.

The O-A is a multiple entry Visa valid for a year from date of issue. On each entry you make prior to that expiry date, you are given a permission to stay of 12 months. If you wish to leave Thailand after the visa expiry date, but prior to the permission to stay date, you might consider a re-entry permit to keep that one permission to stay date. You can get near 2 years out of an O-A Visa. Does that help or do I confuse? Are you hoping to get an extension based on retirement while in Thailand?

Well today I heard from a guy who works in Visas etc and pretty much just said 'don't panic'! Pension/Income Verification letters, yes the British Embassy has announced as from Jan 1st 2019 they will end this service. This had nothing to do with Thai Immigration and is purely a British Embassy decision.There has been some lobbying effort and they have been asked to review that decision. The British Embassy has gone alone on this, meaning that no other country's Embassies have announced they too will stop the service. Immigration will accept Income letters that are up to 6 months old from date of issue. This means that UK people should be able to apply to get their extensions using them until May/ June 2019. Other than that, business as usual. Later Edit: The yanks have now announced they too will end Pension/Income Verification letters.

The rooms in the old building, most were fitted with a small safe with a magnetic key rather than a combination. I seem to recall there were also individual deposit boxes in reception. The magnetic key was not the best solution for me as you had to try and hide it when you had a guest! Yeah they were small rooms. It used to take ages for the AC to cool the room.

And Etihad...until they amalgamate with Emirates, Singapore too. Cathay. How about Saudia, Hainan, Iraqi....no thanks! PIA same

Is there not still a little one up on the roof? The Lek was my hotel of choice many many years ago, (I mean like 1980s, 1990s ) when I was cheaper and less discerning. The rooms were small but functional, staff always fine. The pool area was smallish but okay, often full of bloody kids that came from heaven knows where in a known monger hotel. Parking for the bike at the pool side and great location on soi 13. Stagger back from The Wonderful Bar which was a common hit for me. Nowadays there is a 'newer' building and underground car park accessible from the other side. I stopped there one NYE some years back, not great, but it was a last minute thing. It is well known for it's breakfast and dinner buffet, but I was more concerned about the hygiene of it. If the place has started accommodating Chinese (unlikely as not Chinese owned) or those coming from the 'sub-continent' I would avoid it.

Stick with Dynasty, why does the girl want the Lek, not a particularly good hotel, old building is ancient?

Darn, 7 a day, they should be selling tickets at the airport. On top of Emirates and others hell of a frequency.
