  1. its more interesting that qatar had three planes to lease out
  2. why is there no nonstop between the US and Thailand?
  3. Last time I walked into a Radio Shack and asked for a transistor radio the sales person was like a dear in the headlights. Actually told me that they don't carry them. I knew the end was near.
  4. If you let them in you are responsible for any damage they cause.
  5. It is all the bells and whistles that complicate software and introduce security holes. Every time new features are added old holes seem to be reopened because "workarounds" are what was used to fix them. I've yet to find a way to hack a Model T using Bluetooth. Maybe we would be better off going to a simple system with few capabilities.
  6. 2-3-2 was the older business class formation for 777-200s. Economy had 2-5-2 but some of the asian carriers went with 3-3-3 (same number of seats). Some are now putting the squeeze on with 3-4-3. The 2-5-2 used 18" seats which you rarely see anywhere in economy lately.
  7. How the Airbus preferred cockpit design contributed to the AF 447 crash.
  8. When at low altitude or landing and taking off I would prefer to be on a Boeing. When at cruising altitude I would prefer to be on an Airbus. To be fair to Airbus I miss the Thai Air A340 between LAX and BKK nonstop in PECON with 43" seat pitch. Had a 2 hr ground delay on an 18 hr flight and didn't even notice it.
  9. Frostfire or one of the mods, can you determine how many major users of the board there are so that we get a better feel of how much is need from each. If there are only 20 major users, then we would need to contribute about $100/each a year on average.
  10. For example, Airbus uses a soft landing suspension that makes for a very smooth take off and landing. Boeing uses a hard landing suspension so that they can slam the tires against the pavement at landing to break through water on the surface of the runway. Airbus mounts the engines further away from the fuselage to reduce noise in the cabin. Boeing mounts the engines closer to the fuselage to make the plane sturdier.
  11. The Airbus in general are quieter and smoother but Boeing is safer and more fuel efficient.
  12. That is unusual because I've never seen anything cooked to order at a KFC. In the states they do a buffet also.
  13. Once you know what percentage you are being charged, let us know so that we can cover that also. Also, we need to cover the amount you spent since you started paying the expenses. We need to be paying you for your labor for board administration also.
  14. Is this treated as a cash advance or material purchase by Paypal? If it is a cash advance, then the credit card company may charge an additional fee. If it is a material purchase, then the donor can get frequent flyer miles.
  15. Yes, I knew that, but Pete hasn't updated his Beergarden website since 2012 (feel free to correct me Pete) and I take that as a sign he doesn't need or want more internet presence for the beer garden than he already has. Now due to the huge success he's been having with the Beer Garden, he probably has some very deep pockets and may just be feeling generous. That is a motivation I would understand.
  16. Pete, I have to ask the question. Sir, why would you want PattayaTalk? Whenever I have been in town, Pattaya Beer Garden was or near standing room only. Sir, what is your motivation?
  17. When I was in town in December I suggested to Larry (Soi7) that his bar buy Pattayatalk and use it to promote his bar the same way that Pete and Martin used it to promote FLB. At that point in time I knew that Martin was ill but I didn't know that he was terminally ill. Larry dismissed the idea at the time because he was not comfortable with Martin's style. Larry is currently working part time at the bar and that would give him time to moderate the board from his condo. With frosty continuing to be the #1 admin for the board, I think this would help keep Pattayatalk running for a long t
  18. Is there anyone here that wouldn't pay 1500 baht to not stand behind 300 Chinese in an immigration line when not a single one of them has attempted to fill out there forms before getting in front of the immigration officer? So why would you worry about 100 baht or less of tolls? (Respects to Martin)

    Holy Milk

    Should have arrested the followers for being idiots.
  20. I have to ask, did they have fresh brewed iced tea and if so how was it? You can't call yourself an American style restaurant if you don't serve fresh brewed tea.

    New TM6

    "port of disembarkation" always trips me up
  22. There's one of them right above this post. :)
  23. I can highly recommend Sandbar By the Sea Jomtien. Call ahead first as sometimes they have live entertainment and you won't be able to get a seat without a reservation.
