  1. I never wrote the Italians are wankers. That's your words. Not mine.
  2. Most countries DO NOT allow you to import illegal drugs. Your giving out bad information.
  3. All the above shows that once again a European company can't cut the mustard and deliver a quality product on time. Sad very sad.
  4. The edges of Everett's Paine Field are turning into an overflow airplane parking lot as 787 Dreamliners roll out of Boeing's assembly plant. The planes aren't flying anywhere soon: Instead of engines, they have big yellow concrete blocks hanging from the wing pylons. On Wednesday, 13 production Dreamliners and one flight-test airplane were parked at Paine Field. Four more completed planes are in storage. By mid-February, at least 10 additional Dreamliners could roll out and need a temporary parking space. Boeing must continue to churn out the jets in anticipation of federal certification and the beginning of deliveries in mid-February. Six flight-test airplanes are flying, and one of the production models is expected to fly as an add-on to the flight-test program sometime next month. The other planes will likely sit there until the Federal Aviation Administration certifies the jet early next year. With the Boeing flight line full, five Dreamliners are now parked in unaccustomed spots. Boeing has leased space from the airport on the west side of the runway outside the Future of Flight aviation center, where two Royal Maroc 787s and one Japan Airlines (JAL) 787 sit in a new airplane-parking area. Another two 787s, one for JAL and one for LAN Airlines of Chile, are parked next to Highway 526 outside Boeing's giant assembly building. In anticipation of the rush of 787s ahead of first delivery and to allow for expansion, Snohomish County spent $5.5 million to build a taxiway around the north end of the airfield that connects to the new ramp area adjacent to the Future of Flight. seattletimes.com QUOTE
  5. When I was staying at Sky-Top a few months ago there was at most two or three bars open in the complex. Bars close at 2AM.
  6. I like Tropical Bert's. I've never stayed there but looked at a room years ago. Nice room. I do eat breakfast at Bert's almost every day when I'm in Pattaya. Bert serves good pub grub. Good value for the Baht.
  7. No flame from me. Sounds like a solid plan.
  8. Check out Secrets Hotel, Pattaya. Less then two minute walk to Walking Street. I never stayed there but everyone I know that has stayed there liked the rooms.
  9. Give him a little time. He can do better. Way better.
  10. The BG at Sky-Top are still good looking and they are good to go for 500 ST and 1K LT. Good value for your Baht.
  11. Next time I see Henry, I'll tell him you said hello. Once again so much anger in you. Let it go or it will eat you up.
  12. I haven't stayed at the Queen Vic but I have eaten there many times. Good pub grub at a fair price.

  14. Next time try and rent a Honda 180 or 200cc bike. Should give you all the get up and go you need.

  16. A few years ago, I tried to live in Pattaya for a month on 1000 Baht per day. I was able to do it but it was tight. I didn't go out every day. I wouldn't want to do this every month. One thing to remember it's way different living in Pattaya when your on vacation then if you lived here year round.
  17. I have a change jar at home and I take it to my local bank where they count it every three months. I get around $100USD.
  18. Not that long ago, the Boeing (NYSE: BA) story was all about the 787. "The most successful launch of a new commercial airplane in Boeing's history" was going to transform Boeing, leapfrog Airbus and its dratted A380 flying elephant, and secure decades of growth for America's premier airplane maker. That may still be the case (despite a few, ahem, setbacks). But lately, it's been looking like Boeing's real ace in the hole is 50 clicks lower on the altimeter. Specifically, at the 737 level. Last week, Boeing announced a blockbuster sales week -- seven days, 104 new aircraft sold. Not content to coast, Boeing followed that announcement with an even better one yesterday. Penciling in 30 new 737s on its order book, Boeing has now sold more planes in the last two weeks -- 134 total, with all disclosed orders being 737s -- than it sold in all of last quarter (124). Boeing's playing coy on who ordered the latest batch of planes (worth as much as $2.6 billion at list prices), but whoever's fronting the cash, one thing is clear: Boeing's 737 has become a major success story. And once more, General Electric (NYSE: GE), United Technologies (NYSE: UTX), and Honeywell (NYSE: HON) owe Boeing a thank-you note for all the new business they'll be doing, providing plane parts. Bigger and better Investors have already lifted Boeing stock 6% since the start of last week. But fasten your seat belts, folks, because peering out the porthole, I see more good news coming down the runway. Three times in the past five months, Boeing has upped the production rate on its 737, either in response to or in anticipation of new orders (and perhaps a little of both). QUOTE With Southwest (NYSE: LUV) airlines doing its part to shore up domestic demand by buying AirTran (NYSE: AAI), a second all-Boeing flier, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Boeing try to capitalize on all the new production scale it's amassed to go after its long-sought Ryanair (Nasdaq: RYAAY) contract with seriously aggressive pricing. Should Boeing win that 200-plane tranche, it would more than double the orders it's already booked this month. This would almost certainly compel Boeing to announce another increase in its production rate. When and if that's the way things play out, I expect a lot of investors will sit up and take notice: Boeing is going gangbusters. Love this article?

  19. Steady progress is being made and it looks like Boeing will deliver the first 787 early next year.
  20. No problem. Don't use her service.
  21. Great American Rib Company, Jomtiem. They do ribs the right way.
  22. CHICAGO (AP) -- Boeing Co. says it has received orders for 30 more of its 737s in the past week. Boeing's weekly order update on Thursday did not say who is buying the planes. Boeing customers have ordered 382 of those planes so far this year, out of a total of 422 orders for all commercial planes. The 737 have a list price of between $51 million to $87 million, although discounts are common. The 737 can carry anywhere from 110 to more than 200 people, depending on the version of the plane and how it is set up. It is typically used on domestic flights, and competes with the Airbus A320.

  23. Can you provide prices?
  24. I like the Marriott at the Royal Garden Shopping Center. Your in the middle of all the action. Great location.
