I called my 2nd "ex" a cunt once-she was pissed.Pissed "mad" not pissed "drunk".But she deserved it.She said it was the only word that really put her off. -

Do you believe that clown's 3rd post,calling someone a racist & pig?

Mine is "poofter" and phrase is "workman's entrance".These are both British words/phrases,not English,so they qualify. The only guidelines are that Americans are not allowed to add a "u" too any word to qualify.Likewise,Brits are not allowed to delete a "ewe" to qualify. Have at it............

Continental Unveils Boeing 787 Dreamliner at NBTA-Providing a new era in passenger comfort HOUSTON, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Continental Airlines (NYSE:CAL - News) is offering a sneak preview of its Boeing 787 aircraft interior today at the 2010 National Business Travel Association (NBTA) International Convention & Expo, giving customers a glimpse of what's ahead for air travel in the future. The 787 Dreamliner is making headlines for its revolutionary cabin environment and advanced aerodynamic design, allowing it to fly farther, faster and more efficiently. Continental will be the first U.S. carrier to take delivery of the new 787 Dreamliner beginning next year. "Continental is excited to unveil the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to some of our best customers," said Dave Hilfman, Continental's senior vice president of worldwide sales. "The Dreamliner's unrivaled customer experience and superior economic performance will change the future of travel." Customer Comforts The 787 Dreamliner's revolutionary cabin environment will help Continental customers feel better during and after a long flight: •Lower cabin altitude: Lowering the cabin altitude to 6,000 feet reduces the adverse physical effects of pressurization on customers. •Increased luggage storage: The overhead storage bins are the largest in the industry, allowing space for every passenger to fit a standard-size carry-on bag in the bin above. •More space and freedom: Architectural design elements such as sweeping arches and more natural light create a feeling of spaciousness. •Larger windows: The 787 windows are the largest on any of today's airplanes, giving passengers a view to the horizon from any seat on the plane. Rather than pull-down window shades, electrochromatic shades give passengers the ability to dim the window and still enjoy the passing terrain. •Simulated cabin sky: The cabin ceiling is illuminated by ambient LEDs that create a sense of the sky overhead. The flight crew, able to control the brightness and color of the cabin sky, can give passengers a sense of daylight when desired or help passengers rest by simulating a night sky. •Cleaner, less dry cabin air: Innovative air purification systems maintain cleaner cabin air, and the air system allows for higher cabin humidity levels to combat the effects of dryness on passenger comfort levels. •Sound quality: The 787 improvements lower noise both inside and outside the cabin. Less cabin noise equates to reduced passenger fatigue, while decreased engine noise creates significantly quieter takeoffs and landings, improving the experience for airport communities and employee ground crews. Superior Economic Performance With expanded range capabilities, unmatched fuel efficiency and superior operating economics, the 787s will allow Continental to target additional long-haul markets or replace older, less-efficient widebody aircraft. Constructed mainly of lightweight, carbon-fiber composite materials, the Dreamliner is aerodynamically refined to minimize drag and maximize speed. This, combined with the aircraft's reduced weight, allows the 787 to fly farther using 20 percent less fuel and emitting 20 percent less carbon dioxide than similarly sized airplanes. Continental's Dreamliner Order Continental has firm orders for 25 Dreamliners with delivery scheduled beginning third quarter 2011. The aircraft will have 228 seats, including 36 of Continental's new flat-bed BusinessFirst seats for the best rest on long-distance flights. New Long-Haul Route Opportunities Continental was the first airline in the world to announce new route plans for its 787 fleet. The company plans to begin nonstop Boeing 787 flights to Auckland, New Zealand, and Lagos, Nigeria, from its Houston hub. Both routes are expected to start in Nov. 2011 and are subject to government approval. "The 787 is an integral part of our international growth strategy," said Greg Hart, Continental's vice president of network strategy. "This next generation of aircraft positions Continental for new long-haul business opportunities—Auckland and Lagos are two great examples of global markets the 787 will enable us to reach." Following display at the 2010 NBTA International Convention & Expo, Continental will exhibit the 787 mock-up fuselage at its Houston hub in Bush Intercontinental Airport's Terminal E. -
Thanks jacko and steve. Strangely enough,the Honorary Consulate here in Miami only gives 90 days for a 2 entry visa,instead of 180.3 Tourist Visas over 3 years and 90 days each time.But that only cuts a few days from the possible total of 180 days. So I'll just do 60+30 and that should be enough unless I change my mind about my next relocation. Jomtien office is sometimes chaotic and sometimes slow. Thanks again.
