I know that everybody is talking about the Nationwide cards, but I use a Halifax debit card (switch, cirrus, maestro) for all cash withdrawals, and a visa card for all hotel, medical, emergency bills. This means that I dont spend stupid amounts on commission, and that I dont have to carry silly amounts of cash. I even resent having to carry travellers cheques to show liquidity and dollars for when I have been really stupid. Thus is the tangled web I have woven to be with the rest of the reprobates on Saturday. Regards, Andy

I don't think that you can beat a vaio for reliablity, I am writing this in a vaio, which I only use as a mobile machine,connecting to my network to swap files and update. The model number is PCG F400, and the only thing I have had to do was replace the battery. I think that this is awesome for a four year old laptop. I have got so used to taking the bugger around with me that I automatically subtract four kilos from my luggage allowance wherever I fly. Regards, Andy [smiley=3some.gif]

Chrome condoms, used to stop the spread of computer viruses. Regards, Andy

Capitals mean that you are SHOUTING ???. Regards, ANDY

Kuwait is a non-drinking, non-smoking airline. The stopover looks pretty good on paper, but I have never left on time to go to the UK. The airport, the last time I was there, was a smokers paradise. There were very few restrictions. It is also clean and well mantained. It makes LHR T3 look third world. It must also be one of the most boring airports in the world. Duty free is reasonable, but no booze. Regards, Andy

Sorry, you are wrong. I get my travel insurance through the Halifax, but all other insurance I get elsewhere. Regards, Andy

They were all ****ing packed this weekend. This was due to a strike by B***** A** ground staff at terminal 1. As regards rates, you would be better off nipping into London for a day/night out. Regards. Andy

I'm looking at my confirmation from my last trip with Emirates. The ticket was valid for a minimum of seven days and a maximum of four months. The return date could be changed once enroute for a fee of £50.00 The cost of the ticket, including taxes was£492.00, and was sourced through Trailfinders. That was in April. Please note that you could have some problems with visas if your stay is more then a month. Regards, Andy

I once met a Dutch man who ran from Naklua to Jontien and back nearly everyday. Why didden't he pay the barfine instead? Regards, Andy

Tom, If you ate that many beans,the Russians would take you for free on one of thier Soyouz rockets. Just imagine how much they could save on fuel with a minor plumbing job ::) ::) By the way, does anybody know what happened to the Beanz programme? Regards, Andy

Pattayaman!! don't you think you are going to be a little tired, going with Linn, Poly, and June ;D ;D ;D Booked with linn poly Roll on june pattayaman Regards, Andy

It's no illusion that the seats are better on BA. domestic flights. They are generally leather, wider, and even though I have not checked the seat pitch, it seems to be greater. There are other factors in BA's favour. The main ones are, punctuality, onward baggage forwarding to other airlines and finally no need to get onto a train, or drive down to Heathrow from Manchester. I don't like BA. international service, but as a way of getting around the UK., they are probably the best. Regards, Andy

It probably wasn't a computer problem. Most airlines overbook the aircraft between 5% and 10%., if they get to capacity. They know that this is the rate for no-shows, and they want to fly with all seats taken. This is the usual reason to bump somebody up a class, not goodwill. There are some times of the year, and particular flights which have nearly 100% take-up, but airlines cannot seem to recognise this fact,hence"computer problems" It's nice to see somebody benefiting from this attitude for a change, and not just being shafted Congrats, Andy

I want to wish all the people on this board a happy, peaceful holiday and a rip-roaring enjoyable new year. Regards, Andy

If you fly with them, only read ten chapter books ::) ::) Regards, Andy

Try the Beach View hotel on Soi 2. They always seem to have rooms, a guest friendly policy, a pool and they are reasonably clean. The only real problem is that they only have twin bedded rooms. Regards, Andy.

myself, I reckon I could handle assignments like this- piece of cake. Now lets see, theseis on the lives of Go-Go dancers, yeh sounds good to me. Sorry, Somebody from the U N has already done that. It only took him sixteen years and four million Dollars. This would be fantastic value if it were ever published, but it might make a profit. 8) 8) 8) Regards, Andy

Try Bangkok airways[http://203.154.168.55/birts//url] Regards, Andy.

Hey Baz, I'm sorry that I shouted at you, but it was just to show how easy it is to escalate anything. I'm from the north of England and that term is considered mild here. I would also like to point out that I come from a land which has suffered from terrorism for the last thirty years. This does not make me an expert but has given me plenty of time to think about it. Please believe what you will and allow me to do the same. Regards, Andy

Thanks, Sprinter. You have just made my point. It's not the religion that causes the problem, and not the vast proportion of the followers of any religion. It is a small number of people who want to do something which most people would find repugnant. They find thier "faith" provides a useful hook,regardless of what thier religion teachs them. The really horrifying aspect of these terrorist activities is that they polarise communities across the world. If we allow this to happen, we stand a good chance of losing. Regards, Andy

NO, YOU STUPID BUGGER!!! It's the people who use religion as an excuse!! Saddam(expansion) Hitler(Scapegoat) Pol-Pot (induce Fear) The list goes on and on. Just think about it for a while and I'm sure that you will get the idea.

I'm sorry, but anic is right. Religions are not the problem, nor have they ever been. The real problem is that members of the same religion tend to form themselves into distinct social groupings, with thier own preconceptions and ideals. These groups eventually aquire a political presence which has nothing to do with religion. Usually, the leaders of these groupings, elected or not,try to do the best that they can. There are, however, others who claim to speak and act for these groups who are so filled with hate that they lead others to acts that are so inhuman that they use God to justify t

Tom, It aint ;D ;D.I use half a tab at a time, otherwise nobody would get any sleep for a good eight hours, Regards, Andy

Don't hook up with bg working at a beer bar on the same street as the hotel. BG has "fighter pilot" vision and short temper when you go past with your new honey. No matter where you stay Pattaya is the best adult playground on the planet. They also have bigger memories then our company server, and an unerring knack of turning your better clothes into dishrags ::) I lernred that lesson the first time out.

Try "fareng" ::) Regards, Andy
