Crackpot

Of course not. Your 'merchant Banker' arent you ? I love rhyming slang ;D

What part of 'Good dry storage facilities' didnt you understand ?

Jan/Feb is peak season, leftovers from Christmas and then the Chinese New year

It still rhymes with wanker though

Ahh right. I justify what I said and now I'm an embarrassment ? This from someone who says 'Manchester is full of culture'? Are they playing Berlioz in the 'chippies now ? or have they pedestrianised Deansgate ?

The European style of stuff Just take a walk up to the top floor of MBK where all the furniture shops are and check out the prices. The UK prices are 50-100% more than that and French prices even higher, and they are retail shops, its simply a matter of finding the manufacturers and doing a deal with them. Problem is you are going to need good dry storage facilities back in the UK

There are actually quite a lot but most will involve Export/Import and having someone back in the UK to handle stuff. I actually found quite a good opportunity whilst on my last trip, which would probably show a 100% return on investment and involves furniture but would need substantial storage space. But as for making a qucik buck I dount there is much thats hasnt already been thought of

I wasnt changing the goalposts at all, Brittania and airtours bunging on a few flights for their own customers isnt classed as a charter,sorry. AFAIK there were a few seats sold on the open market but they were rare and again AFAIK they only bunged on a few flights then found out, like everyone else has that a one-stop destination like BKK, wont bring sufficielt returns. There is sufficient demand for Far east flights from the North of England but not specifically to Bangkok alone. If Branson thought that there was sufficient passenger numbers into BKK he would be in there like a flash, Malaysian will codeshare and jump into bed with anyone to try and drum up any Tourism Manchester simply doesnt have the 'best airport in the UK" either. Stansted would qualify for that, closely followed by Gatwick and when Stansted gets its next runway it will be even better And again, sorry but the words Manchester and Culture in the same sentence simply make me scream with laughter. IMHO Edinburgh qualifies as the best, for me. As for Football, Ive never been to a football match in my life, I cant see myself every going to one either. Passing Old Trafford once and seeing the mutants who were going in and having a similar experience at Chelsea was enough to put anyone off for life.

Where have I put anyone off posting on the board ? You post something, I question it. Or would you perfer everything to be moderated ? You name me any Charter flight operator that has been operating 'Regular' charter flights for any length of time. Yep some have come and gone, but there is no 'dependable' chart operator running 'regular' BKK flights. A very good friend of mine lost a whole lot of money several years ago investing in a supposed UK-BKK charter. After sinking in a lot of money, both he and the other investors got shafted because they simply couldnt get any traffic rights from UK to BKK So you pardon my scepticism about any UK BKK charters. If BKK was such a good prospect, dont you think Mr Branson would be looking at it seriously ? The market simply isnt there for a one-to-one destination like UK-BKK Yep, lots of flights leave the UK full but many of those people are using BKK as a stopover to other destinations. I dont like giving out piles of info here publicly so do it via PM as many know. As for the drink, No thanks. I didnt like Manchester when I lived in Saddleworth and have no intention of returning, though thanks for the offer

I know some agencies dont send out tickets, as it saves them from having to re-issue or send out and changes, thats why I asked if he had a PNR or Locator number. Whenever I book and pay I always ask for the tickets straight away. I had a situation once where I didnt worry about the tickets and a week before departure called the consolidator about them and was told they had been sent several weeks before, but I hadnt received them..

I wish I had a pound for every story I heard about a Charter flight from the UK to BKK. None of them ever got off the ground. Even in the busiest time for BKK in the 80's none of the 3 Charter proposals I heard of ever made it to the runway. And starting operations in March ? low season ?? , I dont thinks so.

Nahh he knows he's been rumbled as one and the same person and hopes by keeping his head down the flak will go away. Personally I couldnt give a stuff who the old man is so long as he stops giving out URL's when people ask for pesonal advice

Gus, if you havent paid a penny yet and havent got your ticket I would be starting to worry a little. Have they given you a PNR number or computer reservation number ?

The Woraburi, down the road from the Nana isn too bad and has a pool with a view, if you can suffer the ignorant receptionists

Ahhhh you really shouldnt taunt OAP's ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yeah sure Torrenova/Valentinoxxxxxxx Long established ?? You are one and the same and it has long been established you are

And I bitch when I have to pay 600 Baht for a room !!!!

No .C

What angry Tone ?? I replied to you after you asked me to PM you. If you have a question or want to tell me to piss off then do so here. I replied to the other poster cos I wanted to. If every posting on this forum that drifted off topic was removed there would be very little left to read

Torrenova/Valentinoxxxxxxxx Have you been a prick all your 22 years or so or is just on wednesdays ?

Ahh but you cant fit a Leslie Box to that one can ya ?

Why should I want to reply to you by PM ? I dont think we have anything to say to each other

Could be worse He could be a merchant Banker ::) Though if you dont want to help people why dont you just shut it ?

Well the problem is, my medical situation at present :-[ I was supposed to have a meeting last week to finalise my ATOL Licence, but I just couldnt make it and it has been postponed untill next year. At present I am still employed by my last company, working from home via several computers, but that wont continue for much longer, as I am unable to travel anywhere at the moment. Technically I am now officially disabled. I will have to wait untill I see whats happening with my back before I make any further decisions as to my future. Looks like I can get nearly 1K a month if I accept all the benefits that I'm entitled to, but again Ive got to wait and see how the back settles down. Anyway I'm getting a little attached to my corset now and am wondering if they do one with suspenders ? Now theres a thought eh ??

AAAAAAnd surely Hotel California to a techno beat really would be a little off, what what what ?
