  1. Watching a programme called Crisis Control on TV last week I was surprised to hear that Atlanta was the busiest passenger airport in the world with Delta having its hub there.... I always thought it was Chicago O'Hare airport or even London Heathrow ?? Amazed that there was a take off/landing every 27 seconds...
  2. So what ISP are you using ?? What speed is realistically needed for streaming ??
  3. Before I posted I checked twitter and facebook looking for it, and clearly there..... I suspect the 555 does indeed mean ha ha ha without question, but its been picked up by others completely unrelated to Thailand.
  4. So why does every forum completely unconnected to Thailand still carry 555 across the board ?? I like Pattayamad would be interested to know what it means ??
  5. Any chance of a bar and nickname ?? Lot of guys on here go back a long way ??
  6. There was another thread about these safes being opened with a potato......! I would never use in room safes......You're giving cleaners complete access to it and some will be far from stupid. Only used them once for an entire trip at some apartments up Soi Buakow in Jan 2008......Everyday I went out I was concerned what I mind find on return. Far better to have a two key system box at reception such as at the Flipper Lodge...
  7. To bloody true !! (I did include the bit about the Jazz being totalled in that report)
  8. I actually prefer indirect flights and a shortish transit...... Always use to find the Eva service going home Bangkok-London was never ending at 12 hours or so.... You're depressed probably and starting to withdraw from alcohol which doesn't help, especially if its a packed motor..
  9. Try Carlton Hotel a stones throw from soi 6.... Bit old but perfectly adequate...... Around 750 baht and has pool etc....
  10. In the meantime dont drive as any insurance on the car is invalid...... Might be obvious but I'm still counting the cost of a Honda Jazz totalled by my wife without a licence who said "no problem".......!!
  11. No not me buddy.... Just possible you may have seen me on Tarom at some point as I did 9 returns on them in early/mid 90's...
  12. Agree condo route is the way to go...... Point I was making was that thai lawyers indicated that if I fought for what was mine, I would likely end up with nothing as a court order is virtually unenforcable along the lines of JK's previous comments
  13. Friend travelled couple days ago on the retrofitted Thai 747's and said they were excellent with the new AVOD systems in place... They are rostering A380's on to the route this year as well...
  14. Sam When I officially divorced from Ratree in May 2008 we had a house to divi up.... It was made most clear to me that the best way to get anything back over time was to be polite and nice as any court order wasn't worth the paper it was written on..... Its been a nightmare since and have received around 200,000 of the 1.5 million I'm owed... If I had gone to court with the loss of face involved for her its an absolute certainty I would never have got anything..
  15. Yeah I've been right busy this morning Paps !!! Those crackdowns get rolled out every year under some guise or another. Within a week all will be forgotten as usual.....
  16. Taxes these days must be close to 300 quid ?? Still believe that fares are cheaper in real terms than what they were in economy 20 years ago ??

    Etihad

    Interesting-not having been on Etihad since that Feb/March trip 2009 I thought the one they had opened was for Etihad operations only....... Mind you their expansion has been pretty spectacular although not in profit yet I recently read on Business Traveller..

    Etihad

    What was the new terminal that opened around February 2009 ?? That wasn't a temporary terminal by any stretch of the imagination ??
  19. True Jacko.... I remember in the mid 90's asking the same question.....
  20. Completely opposite for me when I flew, although all 4 sectors were less tha half full which always makes it better..... My sons mate hooked up with a girl and flew Gulf in the summer and said it was excellent and he's taller than me...
  21. I'm gonna regret this I'm sure but what chatroom ?? I'm totally sober and have been looking for 20 minutes for it ??
  22. Whys that ?? I know the seats were very small picth when I flew with them but I understand they dropped the charter configuration ??
  23. Useful price just been delivered via email. Not too many sub 500 fares around these days.... Would be helpful if i put contact details in the post !! Adrianinlondon@aol.com Used a few times before-no problem
  24. I think a lot of passengers are pissed off with Etihad since they reconfigured their triple 7's in line with Emirates at 10 across in economy...
