THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR - 2010 version Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to the signal officer, what's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): " England expects every person to do his duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability. What gobbledygook is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunity employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nel

I used American Express Traveller Cheques in Thailand on my last trip in Jan/Feb this year at various outlets, dependent on which bank was giving the best rate. No problems whatsoever, other than what seems a very comprehensive validity check, which I would expect, and welcome, anyway.

Will do Aussiechic. At work at the moment will re-send when back home.

Thanks Martin

Thanks for the reply Jacko.Yes my board setting are just fine, and I am able to view pics in posts etc but still cannot get the pics to open when attached to a PM.

Just sent a PM with an attachment to a fellow BM with a jpeg photo.. Anyone any idea as to why the pic does not show opened up on either the preview or the sent message. I've been able to do this many times previously but noticed the last couple I've sent this is happening (or not as the case may be !) Picture size is 169K, well under the 2Mb limit. All I get is this

Bid D. Sorry to say it, but if you are talking about Breaded Cod, Mashed Potatoes and Baked Beans you're way off the mark on this thread. The traditional British meal is similar to the pic below. No offence. FWIW some of the best fish and chips I had on my recent stay in Pattaya was in Pattaya Beer Garden for, I think, 190 baht. Secrets also does a nice job with them. Not sure about the species of fish in either but both were bloody nice.

I tried this facilty a couple of trips ago and remember a group of about eight of us, at 6am, waiting around 40 minutes for the scheduled "Hoppa" bus to arrive. No "Hoppa" bus showed, and in the end we all piled into two taxis that arrived dropping people at the hotel. The service itself seems fine in theory, but in my, albeit one bad experience, they did not seem to adhere to any scheduled timetable. I, personally wouldn't rely on this service to get me to the terminal for a hard/fast early morning check in time. You pays your money and you takes your chance !

Moreover, there probably wasn't a button/key on the cash till that had your wife's initial choice, therefore it can't be done. Bizarre but sad reflection on the ways things are today ! Restaurant probably run by kids ??

Eer shouldn't that be were flying on........ Put it this way, if that is the case, that's three, more likely than not, total arseholes, that aren't gonna be visiting Pattaya !

Obviously not...... but you know, I just knew I'd be sticking my head over the parapet ! EDIT: Have now but that still doesn't answer the question. Let's hope Villa remembers to bring you a tin or two . Wonder what they will look like when his luggage passes thru the X Ray machine ?

So why is there a problem in getting tinned sardines in olive oil ? What is the problem with such a common commodity ?

QUOTE (N3RGT @ Dec 29 2009, 05:25 PM) Chivas, sorry if you have tried this, but are you sure you do not have your options (top right of initial post) switched to "Outline" ? HHmmmm..... have to agree with you there.. perhaps he was keeping it a secret

Roomak, your humour is "nought" lost on me

AMEN !

Chivas, sorry if you have tried this, but are you sure you do not have your options (top right of initial post) switched to "Outline" ?

Sadly it's the usual riveting stuff on there.. "Bored...famous name game" "Bored as Fluck" "Song Title Game when bored as fxxx" ......and everyones favourite the "Numbers in Images game"

My Christmas Cake Ingredients 2 Cups Flour 1 Stick Butter 1 Cup of Water 1 Tsp baking soda 1 Cup sugar 1 Tsp Salt 1 Cup of Brown Sugar Lemon Juice 4 Large Eggs Nuts 2 Bottles Wine 2 Cups Dried Fruit Method Sample the wine to check the quality. Take a large bowl, check the wine again to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the wine is still OK. Try another cup….just in case !

Location is OK, as it's adjacent to The Residence Garden on Thrappraya Road. Same travel arrangements ie Baht Buses into town pass frequently. Never stayed there, but breakfast, service wasn't too bad when I tried it a few times. I believe the prices are very reasonable for a budget stay. Can't comment on the homosexuals, sorry

Doubt very much it's the Premium Economy at £510. I'd go with EVA every time, especially if Thai still haven't upgraded their IFE on the 747s yet. Are they still using them on that route ? No doubt the experts on here will let us know. Think I'll take my chance, on the ridiculous suggestion, as to whether any particular pilot has landed at BKK previously.

Have to agree Cap'n, regarding the general flight conduct and service efficiency. Yeah.... the food isn't all that clever, but they really do let themselves down on the "wine", (if you can call it that), that is served in both the Premium Economy, and Economy classes. Poured from a cardboard carton, Red or White, of very "questionable origin" tasting more, in fact, like a poor quality drain cleaner. I recall that Thai Airways do the same sort of thing. However I just grit my teeth, adopt a stiff upper lip, and get on with the job in hand, by ordering a large cognac

It must have been from the same store that I bought a tinned sponge jam pudding.The instructions were "Open tin and stand in boiling water for three minutes"...ouch !!.. the blisters are just starting to heal
