    Hilarious video, good lyrics, excuse for a jolly - Ed Sheeran

    You Tube won't allow the link.....

    We are, we are, we are
    L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
    Sundown and they all come out
    Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
    The party's on, so they're headin' downtown
    ('Round here) everybody's lookin' for a come up
    And they wanna know what you're about
    Me in the middle with the one I love and
    We're just tryna figure everything out
    We don't fit in well
    'Cause we are just ourselves
    I could use some help
    Gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
    You look stunning, dear,
    So don't ask that question here
    This is my only fear, that we become
    Beautiful people
    Drop top, designer clothes
    Front row at fashion shows
    "What d'you do?" And, "Who d'you know?"
    Inside the world of beautiful people
    Champagne and rolled-up notes
    Prenups and broken homes
    Surrounded, but…

     

    Any avocados in Pattaya or Thailand?

    I'm going to have some REAL guacamole at a restaurant tonight.  Not that I'm a massive fan of avocado , but Pattaya Talk is very influential......

    The Thai ones in Pattaya tend to be rather low in quality and taste.  Imported ones are 80 baht a pop, but if you want an avocado taste it tends to be the only option.

    I'm just checking the jar of EL TEQUITO (Lidl) that I have at home.... 0.7% avocado powder.... that should do it for the taste!

    This is a label of El Tequito for Belgium, found on the internet.  3.7%, an improvement - I double checked and mine (France) has ONLY the powder.... Could be different ingredients for each country.  NUTELLA is different depending on where you buy it... (true).

    Other dips not "Guacamole STYLE" with more avocado powder or the real thing are probably available in Pattaya - OPTION 2.

    'kin oath. Anywhere else you risk sub-20. Dumb cunts in Canberra and Sudney think that fiddling with local interest rates still have any effect on the economy.

    Wow... I'm on a par with Aussie politicians (the people that the Aussies vote for).... is that good or bad? :eyecrazy

    They must know that a quality egotistical EU tourist is arriving in a few weeks and have rolled out the grimy red carpet.  If the EUR gets above 40 by then I will expect it to have been dry cleaned - the carpet or the Euro.

    UP TO YOUUUUUUUUU!

    (Seriously - look at the spreads in posts #404 and #408 :hithead :scared: - no questions inciting a tangent, so no more of a TF [ThaiFriendly] than any other post not containing a photo full of numbers....... imhfo)

    Brain on #404 is at the airport - last chance saloon.

    I agree. I would avoid it also.

    Cake or Death (again)!  Change the name or use something other than Aspartame in the fuel....

    If they called it Zero would it remind Murcans of Pearl Harbo(u)r?   Too soon?

    Maybe Zero Zen to with a Zanax in every Zeat?

    Funny or Not? - "THE KIDS EMPTIED OUR BANK ACCOUNT PLAYING FIFA"

    in Funnies Section

    Posted · Edited by capdagde

    Lessons to be learned?  "What I learned from this is......"  Don't give your effing bank card details to your kids and DON'T leave your wallet lying around...

    Four children spent nearly £550 in three weeks buying player packs to play the Fifa football video game online on the family's Nintendo Switch console.

    In Fifa, special players can be bought in packs, but the contents are only revealed after payment is completed.

    The children's father, Thomas Carter, had bought them a single pack for around £8, and had not realised they had seen how he made the purchase.

    The Switch has now been confiscated "indefinitely", Mr Carter said.

    Nintendo has agreed to a full refund and has removed the purchased players.

    While Fifa is published and sold by Electronic Arts, the payments had been made via the family's Nintendo account.

    Nintendo did not respond to a request for comment.

    Mr Carter, from Hampshire, admits that he did not take full precautions to limit access to his Nintendo account: he did not use a unique Pin number and the emailed receipts were sent to an old email address with a full inbox.

    "I just never thought [the children] would do it," he said.

    My son once bought a load of Pokemons using cash he "found" in my wardrobe 300€ worth...... 2 nights of singing money.  He was grounded for a month and narrowly escaped strangulation.

    Has somebody higher up noticed that the USD, the GBP and the EUR were all on the slippery slope, not to mention the Thai Visa's thread         Pattaya business leaders bemoan strong baht

    The date posted appears under the title.

    Thank you for taking my post "at the first degree" - it was meant "at the second degree", but who, in all reality, is going to want to get in a 737 Max - THE NAME NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

    I believe continuing to have a Thread Title ANOTHER ONE DOWN - suggests (inadvertently) that there will be a post every now and again announcing another crash.  I follow the news (although NOT in the redtops) but I might not have seen the news on TV on any given day and I DO think every day when I see the thread bumped "Has there been another crash - test flight or other reason?"

    The power of words and the maxim of "If you say/read/hear something often enough, it becomes true", is real.

    Dollar/Baht (same as 100% of other guys here) and  on the other side Euro/Dollar. Thats it nothing else

    I'm sitting in the stupid section (there you are - said it again).  Here was I thinking the only exchange rate that mattered to me was Euro/Baht.

    Please tell me why I'm wrong..... Thank you in advance.  For all I know it could be you who sets the rates....

    Who on earth laughed at my post couple above reference the currency pairings. !  If you genuinely dont realise or know how your own exchange rate is calculated than frankly you shouldn't possess a passport

    'Twas I, sir!

    The Euro is ALSO an International Reserve Currency (although at 20% against 62% for the USD) only a little brother.  And the little little baby brother is the GBP at 4%.

    The Euro is not tied to the USD in any way - hence my giggling at the back of the class where all the stupid people are.  You will be distressed to know that I not only possess a passport, I HAVE TWO, one from the WTO UK and one from EU trade-bloc France.

    Exchange rates are QUITE CLEARLY calculated by the girl in the MAIN TT booth on Second Road (not THAT one, the other one) depending on which side of the bed she got out of on any given morning..... She then communicates them by vape cloud to the next one... and so on (as in Great Britain long ago - "the Vikings, the French, the Germans, the Russians are coming", depending on the epoch).

    The staff all then get together on the "TT Staff FB Messenger group - no work chat allowed" and have a sweep bet on which nationality of Pattaya Punter will drop dead on seeing today's rate.

    QED - quite edifying drivel....

    There was a long running thread about  how Boeing was so much better than Airbus. Maybe you should find it and revive it. Would be interesting to see if the Boeing champions are still so vehement in their cause.

    Personally I think the A380 is the best long distance plane I have ever flown in. But I can only afford economy so I am biased.

    Few once on it - last return from LOS.  Such a big plane, so little room.  Whispers.... BTW Stop TFing. This thread is about Boeing.....
