  1. Another possibility is that someone has found the router's password and is using your bytes. I've known it happen. Turning it off is always a good idea.
  2. On the few occasions I have been, my hotel was happy to arrange pickup from the airport. Doing it that way means that you know in advance what it will cost, and the driver wn't muck you about.
  3. I've transitted Istanbul several times over the years, but it's over three years since the last time, and I was flying fron Britain, not USA. So I don't know what things are like now. Based on my memories, it should be tight but with luck, it should be just about do-able. I would allow forty minutes to get off the aircraft and through security into the transit area. (May take an hour if the park the aircraft away from the terminal amd bus you to arrivals. Then you have to find out which gate your onward flight leaves from (plenty of display screens in the transit area, switchin
  4. I'd say you are right about security - I always estimate 30-40 minutes to get through security. However, I've been let past security on a couple of occasions at Istanbul when the first leg of the trip was delayed and they had a large number of onward passengers. So it might be just possible if the inward and onward gates are close together. I would be very worried about checked baggage - twentyfive minutes does not seem long enough to get the bags off the aircraft, sorted into destinations and on to the onward flight.
  5. FWIW, the English experience (not sure about the other countries in the union) has been: Originally, the recommended interval was two to three weeks. At one point, it was extended to eight to twelve weeks. This seems to have been a political decision intended to conserve stocks because of a possible supply problem. There was some surprise when the longer interval gave better immunity than the original interval.
  6. Sorry, but I can't help with Tapatalk, although I can remember seeing complaints a few years ago on several forums about Invision software and Tapatalk. Maybe that bug has reappeared.
  7. I'm not sure - but I would guess that the page didn't download correctly, in which case refreshing the page might make it work.
  8. It's still there - you could try his youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/LePubPattaya/videos
  9. I'm sure you're right. My annual policy has a condition that required me to stay away from areas that the FCO says are unsafe.
  10. You may well have a point there - I have often wondered about the extent to which the survival of Thai Airways is seen as a matter of "face" by/for the thai government.
  11. Well, Glitter Man is still with us - I've seen him a few times in the last year, cycling around Merton in South West London.
  12. Tickets can be bought many months in advance of travel. At that time, neither the airline nor the sales staff can know what the entry requirements will be at the time of travel. At check-in time, the rules will be known and if you don't meet the requirements, you will be denied boarding because on arrival, the airline will be responsible for returning you to your departure point.
  13. PS If Prt SC doesn't work on its own, try it while holding down the Fn (Function) key.
  14. If you are using Windows 10, try this: On the top row of the keyboard, toward the right, there should be a key marked something like "Prt Sc". Press this once. This copies everything that is on the screen to the clipboard. Then fire up paint (or any other graphics package) and paste. You can then edit the image and/or save it as .jpg, .png, bmp or whatever you prefer. You should also be able to paste into Word or Wordpad, although I don't think you can then edit the image. The browser you you are using should not affect this.
  15. Be very careful of these - the "entrepreneurs" are out there - see https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/alert/coronavirus-scam-costs-victims-over-800k-in-one-month If the scammers are at it in the UK, they'll be at it everywhere
  16. Midlifecrisis has a point about the noise. I've used the Honey Inn in Soi Honey a few times. It's a nice hotel and less than ten minutes walk to LKM. The rooms at the front are reasonably quiet, but those at the back overlook LKM, and the racket from the Billabong bar has to be experienced to be believed - and it coes on until four am.
  17. I have to agree with these timings - allow a minimum of half an hour for a toilet break and finding the onward gate plus a contingency to allow for late arrival which seems to happen to me about 25% of the time.
  18. FWIW, Glitterman (in full fig) was sighted in Merton High Street, South West London yesterday.
  19. Seems they have started again, Suvarnabhumi departures show delays of several hours this mornlng, but this afteroon's flights to London left on time.
