Hes probably looking at the standard quoted IATA rated fare, which at around 1K is about right, but no one in their right mind pays that rate. I was just offered a freebie in April but its too sodding hot for me then. Ill leave it it untill October

Baron, my statement about British muslims not considering this country to be their own, was based on 2 things. 1. As far as I am aware, the granting of a British Passport involves no swearing of an oath to serve the Queen and country, only a written application form. Wrong ! For people not born in this country To obtain a UK Passport one has to take UK Citizenship which involves a sworn oath at a Soliciors Authorised for the Swearing of Oaths 2. Nasser Hussain, Englands cricket Captain, recently made a statement that British Moslems should be proud to play for their country. The poor bloke was ridiculed by the Pakistani and other Asian youth who thought he was barmy, if they were going to play cricket it would be for their Motherland, I felt quite sorry for the man. He was trying to counter Norman Tebbits remark, that they are British when it suits, then when their county come to play England they are waiving Pakistani flags. A match played at Edgbaston against India or Pakistan must feel like an away game. And dont Aussies living here wave their flag when they watch a cricket match or other Nationalities wave their flags at other national events JEESUS H Keerist !!

The country that feeds them and keeps them? AFAIK most of those coming from the UK had good jobs and paid for their own food and lodging. They probably contributed more to the state than they took out of it. AND pardon me but as for calling them Murdering bastards, there is no evidence that they were combatants at all and no proof that they killed or harmed anyone. Would you be happy to be arrested and held without trial or representation for, say spitting in the street ?? The American and UK invasion of Afghanistan was totally illegal, they had no mandate from anyone for their unprovoked aggression. The invasion was based on the (wrong) assumption that OBL was there The invasion of Iraq was based on the (wrong) assumption that there were weapons of mass destruction See a pattern forming here? What do we do if good old Geeeowage Wubblya decides OBL is in the UK and decides to invade us ?? The principle of fighting for ones conscience has always been one supported by most if not all UK Governments and I doubt any action will be taken against them. Whilst I may not support the cause I would wholeheartedly support the principle of the idea. But look at the bigger picture here. With all the loss of freedoms in the UK over the last 10 years dont you see something else happenning here?. The quietness of the UK Government over all of this is VERY worrying. They seem to be supporting Detention without trial or representation, and seem to be watching what the UK people are saying and doing. How long untill we have detention without trial or representation here for Assault or theft or even speeding ? Would you agree with that too?? Put the racist bits out of your mind and look at whats REALLY going on behind the scenes. The US Kidnapped those UK Citizens illegally. They illegally imprisoned them without trial They have denied them legal representation They will be denied a trial before a jury of their peers They are being denied their basic Human rights. All of that with the full co-operation of the UK Government. If you knew me you would know Im not a do-gooder, neither am I an apologist for Muslims or Indians or immigrants. I stopped my band playing a gig in Birmingham when I found out that Non-Indians would not be allowed in. We protested at the MOBO awards, and refused to appear on one TV Indian programme due to its name ( a legal injunction forbids me naming it too) However, this UK Government and the US Governments actions in Guantanamo bay have far-reaching repercussions for us all, and those few rights which we have must be defended, by any means. PS did you note the increase in the staffing levels at MI5 ? THATS Scary !!!!!

No sir ! Detention without trial or correct representation goes against everything that democracy means. I dont agree with what they did but neither do I agree with kangaroo courts or holding people without trial. Their detention in Guantanamo bay is illegal, absolutely, completely and totally illegal. But the US doesnt care, ,,,,,untill someone does it to them. When they return to the UK they should be treated as anyone else who is suspected of a crime, but from where Im sitting I cant see that they have committed any crime, Unlike the US and UK governments. IMHO, The 5 Guantanamo detainees due to be released should be deported to Afghanistan for that government to deal with as their crimes (if any) were committed there Acting on one's conscience is not a crime in the UK. and if the US or UK or any country for that matter were to attack a country for which I had sympathies I too would consider taking up arms against them. I am not governed by my governments or the US's foreign policy. The US's incursion in Afghanistan was not a war, but an attempt by the US to find OBL. If the acts of those in Guantanamo bay in aiding the Afghanis was a crime then so was the murder, destruction, rape and pillage done by the US and they should be tried by an international court, but they wont because they dont accept International courts nor allow their soldiers to be tried in them. The US has become the world leader in Bullying followed closely by the UK.

TG to add new lie-flat F and C-class seats
Crackpot replied to echster's topic in Airline Discussion
Seems an awfull lot of bluff and bluster about a seat ? Ive had a pair of completely lay back seats in my Camper van for years, and I bet they are a damned sight cheaper than those used in airplanes -
I dont see why not as you wouldnt see much just walking along the streets anyway

Take a walk along the South Beach Road Look for very pale cheap looking girls in cheap clothes with bleached blonde hair. Bloody hell, thats probably my sister ???

Totally disagree with the above We took our daughter there last year in May and she had a whopping time. You wont see anything on the streets in Pattaya that you wouldnt see in most other cities anywhere else in the world. OK a few ladyboys but she saw quite a few of them in Paris so that was no big surprise. Theres tons to do and we hired a Babysitter to be in our room and look after our little one for 500Baht a night from 8 till 12 so we could go out . Go for it

Just something to think about. ANY surgical procedure has risks. Do you want to risk that, in a foreign country where the use of English is, at best very limited ? If things go wrong you are going to be a long way from home. Saying that, The quality of Hospitals in Thailand is OK, however when I was in Bumrungrad last year the attitude of the nurses was, to say the least very 'distant' and not friendly at all. If I were to choose somewhere to have an operation I would choose my home country.

Yes I saw that their cards were Visa backed despite what the old lady said. I also saw the minimum charge for transactions too. I think Valentinova has the OAP, pension account. ;D -

Crackpot replied to ting_tong's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
On my last trip to OZ and Bondi beach, I cleaned up around $70 in cash and 2 rings valued together at around $400AU My friend used his detector and me ? I used a Tennis racquet, yep a good old tennis racquette. Just dig it into the sand and let the sand fall through. Who's laughing. Its relaxing and with a few beers quite enjoyable -
