I could name you about 5 other actors in that movie, of which you could easily find other films that they had been in.

No, but she was the bar girl in the movie, his ex wife.

Nope, but I do apologise. I'm a Brit, thick as shit.

You posted 12 hours after I made my post. How can that be the 24 hour rule???

Kingfisher aircraft impounded at Heathrow By Ian Taylor | Mar 14, 2012 08:06AM GMT 0 Comments and 1 Reaction Struggling Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines had an aircraft impounded at Heathrow last night after British Airways suspended its code-share agreement yesterday. The heavily-indebted Kingfisher has been operating a reduced service and cancelling many flights. A Heathrow spokesman confirmed this morning that a Kingfisher aircraft was impounded at the airport last night following a court order. Referring to BA's decision to end its code-share agreeement, the UK carrier's regional commercial manager for South Asia Chris Fordyce said customers booked on Kingfisher flights that are still operating would be unaffected. “Customers booked on cancelled services will be able to rebook to an alternate service where available or claim a full refund,” he said. The BA code appeared on 11 Kingfisher domestic services and one route to Sri Lanka. Airline association IATA has suspended Kingfisher for non-payment of dues and UK agents are advising clients booked to fly on Kingfisher in coming weeks to rebook with other airlines. Kingfisher chairman Vijay Mallya admitted the carrier was struggling to maintain even a reduced service as pilots and other staff refuse to work without payment. Mallya said: “We are doing the best we can under the circumstances.” The carrier reported operating 145 of 200 planned flights on Monday having previously cut its schedule by more than half. The Indian finance ministry said it had no plans to extend fresh loans to the airline, which has a debt approaching £900 million. The State Bank of India is owed about £175 million. It has been reported in India that BA parent IAG and Etihad Airways might take stakes in the carrier. However, the level of Kingfisher’s debt and restrictions on the size of stakes may rule this out, although IAG has previously identified Kingfisher as a potential target. The Indian carrier had been due to join BA’s Oneworld alliance this month. Mallya has said the airline needs an immediate cash injection of £160 million to survive. The Kingfisher chairman also heads India’s United Breweries and has said is considering selling part of the liquor group to raise cash.

THAI’s first A380 makes maiden flight from Toulouse Next phase will be cabin installation and aircraft painting 6 MARCH 2012 PRESS RELEASE The first A380 for Thai Airways International (THAI) took off for its maiden flight on 5th March following completion of the airframe assembly and system tests in Toulouse, France. After a successful flight of more than four hours, the aircraft landed in Hamburg, Germany, where it is entering the next phase of production, covering cabin installation and painting. THAI will become the ninth operator of the A380 when it takes delivery of its first aircraft in the third quarter of 2012. The airline has firm orders for six A380s and will operate the aircraft on its premier routes from Bangkok to Europe.

Yep, that's one avenue I was looking at. You can get cheap(ish) domestic business class flights sometimes on Thai, so that way you can use their business class domestic lounge. I've used it before, and it's not that bad actually. Also, if your domestic flight had been on Bangkok airways, they have lounges for ALL their passengers, economy included.

Which domestic airline are you flying on??

Best to buy some lounge access, by the sound of it. My credit card company (Amex), have just signed me up for free to the priority pass company, where I get 4 free visits a year,(any lounge, any airport,any country, but not in airline lounges),then i have to pay £15 per visit for any other visits thereafter.

Bhisadej Rajani Bhisadej Rajani (complete title: His Serene Highness Prince (Mom Chao) Bhisadej Rajani) (Thai: หม่อมเจ้าภีศเดช รัชนี) (born 20 January 1920), is the Prince of Thailand, a member of Thai Royal Family, and member of the House of Rajani (th: ราชสกุลรัชนี), the Royal house descended from Chakri Dynasty, which is originated by his father. He is one of the longest-living royal personages in the Thai history. He is a close-friend of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. He is an author and works as the President of the Royal Project for the King. He is a descandant to Pinklao, Vice-King of Siam. [edit] Biography Prince Bhisadej Rajani was born on 20 January 1920. He is the youngest son of Prince Rajani Chamcharas, the Prince Bidyalongkorn (son of Prince Yodyingyos, the Prince Bovorn Vichaichan) and Mom Chao Barabimalabanna Vorawan (daughter of Prince Vorawannakara, the Prince Naradhip Prabandhabongs). He is the great-grandson of the Vice-King Pinklao. He is the younger brother of Princess Vibhavadi Rangsit, the Queen Sirikit's lady-in-waiting and famous royalty author, who was killed in the helicopter by insurgents while visiting soldiers. He graduated from Debsirin School and continued his education at Dulwich College in England where he played rugby, tennis and squash. Running many races in a day, young Prince Bhisadej finally won the Victor Ludorum gold medal (a Latin word for a winner of the games) at the annual Thai students in the U.K. meeting. During World War II, he joined the British Army in 1943 as a soldier and British spy; he was trained to walk up the hills with a rifle and heavy back pack. He trekked along the Himalayan Mountains for two weeks with an army from Darjeeling Hill Station in India to a trade route of Nathula Pass in Tibet. After the tough army training, he engaged the underground resistance movement activities against Japanese called Free Thai during the War. After the war, he came back to Thailand and worked as an officer in the Border Patrol Police in their schools along the northern Thai border for a few years. [edit] Royal duties Prince Bhisadej is a close friend of King Bhumibol Adulyadej since the King held the title Prince during his elder brother's reign, King Ananda Mahidol. In the 1969 narcotics crisis, during which hill tribes villagers in the northern territory grewopuim, King Bhumibol Adulyadej established the Royal Project centred at Fang District under his command to encourage the hill tribes to renounce opium-growing. As President, he gave advice to them about substitution of cash crops such as strawberry, peach, plum, as well as vegetable and fruits in winter. Moreover, he has also served as president of the Thai-United Nations Hill-Tribe Economic Development Project and of the Highland Agricultural Research Committee. The sports and army experiences benefited him when he joined The Royal Project as President in 1969, and his early years involved development works in remote hill tribe villages. On another occasion, the Prince also appreciated the Hmong hospitality at Ban Mae Tho in Chiang Mai where he started trekking from Hod District to visit the Hmong village with a red kidney beans cultivation project. [edit] Lifestyles While working in Chiang Mai, Prince Bhisadej lives in a very simple lifestyle. His hobbies now are reading, listening to music and photography. He has been fond of photography since he was 14 years old. He enjoys taking pictures of flowers grown at The Royal Development Centres, particularly English roses at The Royal Agricultural Station Ang Khang, which are in full bloom in April. He loves to read novels and books about history and traveling to country side and villages telling about farmers' lives, especially in France and Spain. Prince Bhisadej's favourite sports in Chiang Mai used to be windsurfing and horse riding, but it has been years since he has practiced these. He fell from horseback three times and he broke three ribs during one of those falls. Nowadays, his exercises mostly relate to walking while inspecting his numerous agricultural centers on the highlands. As a writer, he contributed to a women's magazine in Thailand. His most recent book in Thai entitled Cheewit Chun Chun published in 2002 under the pseudonym P. of Pramualmak (th: ภ. ณ. ประมวญมารค); the letter P stands for his name when pronounced in the RTGS styles, Phisadet. His book is autobiographical and also deals with Thai history some 100 years ago. Prince Bhisadej is greatly respected among Thais for his dedication and long contributions for King Bhumibol Adulyadej to achieve The Royal Project development strategies thus making him becomes an icon of The Royal Project Foundation.[citation needed] The Prince has frequently been invited to graciously preside over academic or international meetings and grand social events. [edit] Marriage Prince Bhisadej married his first cousin, Mom Rajawongse Dajriraj Vorawan, daughter of Mom Chao Nitayakara Vorawan and Mom Kaew Vorawan na Ayudhya. She is the granddaughter of Prince Vorawannakara, the Prince Naraship Prabandhabongs, and is the direct niece of Mom Chao Barabimalabanna Vorawan, who is Prince Bhisadej's mother. The couple has 2 daughters and 1 son; Mom Rajawongse Dajrabimala Rajani Mom Rajawongse Bhavari Rajani Mom Rajawongse Dhiradej Rajani The Prince and his family reside officially at Pramual Palace, at Pramual road, Silom, Bangkok but usually reside in his private residence in the area of The Royal Project Development and Agricultural Centre, Doi Ang Khang, Fang District, Chiang Mai Province.

Cheers MM.

That's a good deal with the free taxi transfer thrown in as well. I'm looking for a place at the beginning of May, how much is the average room rate??

Cheers Austhai, the room looks ok, but does seem a bit spartan with the furniture. Must be because the room seems so big.

Looks a lot better than the last time I stayed there, which was about 6 years ago. Do there have a website?

Skytrax must be kicking themselves now, marking kingfisher as a 5 star airline. Just noticed now,after reading the airline quality website, that skytrax now have kingfishers 5 star rating, as " being under review".

A330?? Didn't realise that Emirates still had 300's.

Would be nice to see a few photos, if you have any?
