eltilza replied to ZAMPA's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I have stayed in all three Nana - not since the renovation - was a shitehole then only if yuo want to wallow in sleaze should you stay there and the foos is crap as well - roach city Grand Inn makes the Nana look like the Hilton if its the one I think across the main road from the Nana soi and past the Indian Tailor (not majestic) - really bad rooms when I stayed they Oct 05 very nice staff but the place needed demolishing and starting again Dynasty Grand stayed there in Dec 06 and Jan 07 excellent guest friendly excellent rooms free internet in room DVD player big tv great bathroo -
looks like it will be down the road to dublin doesn't that mean 2 fingers up to Gordon Brown and his highway robbery sorry airport duty increas also one less flight to catch

How often do you back up your data?
eltilza replied to Eneukman's topic in Technical problems or questions.
I know what the correct answer is every day in reality the day after the pc crashes and i have to do a software rebuild using a pre environment like the last two times i was toying with the idea of raid on the desktop pc and a software backup on the laptop but never have got round to it yet a 2 gb flash drive would hold most of the data except music and movies - just essential docs and spreadsheets -
Anytime Breakfast in Pattaya?
eltilza replied to cali_dude_1's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
being a big fan of the full english aka ulster fry i agree that pig and whistle and gtegs kitchen are the best spots maybe a little bit more baht but well worth it had brekie at gregs and was full (considering the pig that i can be thats a bloody miracle) proper sausages and bacon no egg yum yum -
we have paypoint in Ireland can pay Electric bill, mobile phone top up, tv licence, etc... just take bill or plastic card with account no to shop and they process it in machine like credit card terminal and print you out small receipt no charge here buy 10 quid top up for pay asyou go phone and get 10 quid credit within 2 minutes
