  1. Im now waiting for a resonse to my claim. Ive given them 14 days to respond. Unless they do I'll send a Notice before Action then file a County Court Claim against them. If it had just been a simple delay with no bullshit I would have let it go but this one went beyond the pale
  2. So Im back. Worst trip of my life and probably my last. Heres a tip. NEVER fly BA especially if they are using the 777's. The seat spacing is horrendous, little more than being in a mini prison cell. You cant move and you pray the person in front doesnt drop their seat back, back because if they do you are trapped. The seats were so worn that my bum just went through it onto the hard base. They ran out of decent food and had to offer 25% of passengers a Vegetarian pasta. (I told them where to throw it, good job I had sandwiches.). Also the outbound flight was staffed exclusively by mincing sh
  3. After my last trip on Thai where the seat cushion was so thin my bum was on the metal under it I decided to try BA. Back in the 80's after a terrible flight with BA I swore I would never use them again, but as this will definately be my last trip to Thailand decided to give them one last try
  4. Well I have to disagree. I booked it online at the weekend and within half an hour my flight and locator were on the BA site. They are IATA, ATOL AND ABTA registered so my money is protected. If you check up on every travel agent youll find someone saying bad things about them. I also paid by Credit Card so have the extra protection of that. I'm happy
  5. I'll be in Bangkok from 14th to the 21st October if anyone wants a beer or six
  6. I booked with a company called Travel Trolley Very impressed. Booked and paid and the booking showed up on the BA site within 20 minutes Found them through http://www.skyscanner.net/routes/lond/bkkt/london-to-bangkok.html
  7. Just got 2 return tickets LHR-BKK for October on BA for £560 each. Last week they were 643 Eva air still £540 Anyone around in early october?
  8. HAHAHAHA I have just had a Prostate Biopsy and am in Hospital at the moment. Unfortunately for me this is a teaching hospital and I've had just about every Student doctors finger up my arse. Afterwards, as they were round my bed, I caused a great ripple of laughter when I asked the head Honcho when it was MY turn to try THEIR arses, I mean....fairs fair, isnt it?
  9. Im sending this from a Hospital Bed in Winchester Hospital and ts FREE !!
  10. I was hoping that, with the present problems in Thailand that airfares might drop a little. But its school holiday time soon so I doubt they will
  11. My last trip on TG several years ago was appalling. The seat base was so worn my bum effectively squashed the worn foam down so I was sitting on the hard base and Im not a heavy bloke. I wont fly on Arab airlines on principle now, so it looks like its BA untill TG get their A380's running into heathrow
  12. Are Thai running the A380 on the London-Bangkok route yet?
  13. Nothing beats Tarom the Romanian airline back in the 70's and 80's they flew old soviet planes that still had the bomb aimers bubble down on the front. I reckon that was their navigators place so he could see the roads. Food was so apalling no one ate it. It was a salad of some description, consisting of some sort of meat, (we never found out what), some cheese which I suspect came from the captains feet and when you had a tea or coffee the milk was in an old Coke bottle !! The worst thing? Toilet paper. It had half inch bits of wood in it ! I kid you not. But it was cheap !!
  14. Reminds me when China Airlines began flying from Amsterdam to Bangkok. Most of the hostesses hardly spoke english. They tried but the service was appalling. I asked for some Worcester Sauce for my Tomato Juice and was met with totally blank stares.
  15. Fancy a quick trip out to BKK and China Southern looks nice and cheap with relativeley short transits in Guangzou £408 return Any travelled with them??
  16. True, the best place to find 'Straight girls' is Bangkok, far more women, far more places to meet them. Try MBK around lunchtime on a Saturday. So you admit in a later post here you've never been there and have no empirical knowledge of the place yet you recommend it as the place to find a wife, thats pretty bizarre and based on a few PI girls you know in the US???? And that isnt the same for Thailand?, boy are you lost. Ive been to the PI several times and Thailand many many times and can tell you there are as many, probably more women in Thailand who speak English than the PI, The prob
  17. Firstly this isnt a post slagging off Pattaya. For those that still love the place its fine.But,I'm afraid for me its way past its best. Its a personal thing and like many things personal, I would prefer to remember it as it was. We simply didnt even feel safe there when we were last there, VERY aggressive katoeys, pickpockets, thieves etc. I also wasnt complaining about the prices of girls. There were fools going there in the 70's and 80's who would pay WAY over the going rate, such is life. Ive always had a thing about some blokes who say "Oh this is the price or that is the price". Als
  18. Haha yep I remember that, When all that was behind the Diana Inn was a swamp, when the Nipa Lodge was a great place for a drink. When the downstairs open area at The Marine bar was 6 times bigger than it is now and if you didnt get a seat by 10 you were out of luck. When walking st wasnt a pedestrian area. When the only beer was Singha and Kloster. When the tarmac rd to Jomtien stopped at the Asia turnoff. When you didnt have smug self important civilians running around with uniforms thinking they are the police. When the Bangkok University girls and bank workers would come down on a Frida
  19. The 80's were great days in Pattaya, people actually smiled and didnt hold their hand out after for money. Few katoeys on open show. Girls were great fun and the place was relatively safe, unlike today. Shame that
  20. I actually had a ticket on Phuket Airlines last flight from London to BKK. £350 ..........And I lived !!!!
  21. Latest http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/308187/Kingfisher-flights-cut KINGFISHER Airlines yesterday tumbled further into the mire yesterday after the struggling Indian carrier slashed overseas operations, including flights to London, and partner British Airways suspended their code-sharing agreement. Debt-laden Kingfisher, owned by billionaire Vijay Mallya, said it had also returned an aircraft leased for use on its flagship Mumbai to London flight and came under fire from Indian regulators, who accused it of reneging on a turnaround plan agreed in January.
