Looks great, especially on a 747. According to an FB post I saw on another forum, the landor colours were speculated to be on G-CIVB, but I'm not complaining!. It's also a shame it's going West, we live on the Eastern corridor and often see the stuff heading to SEA if they opt for the flight path over N Essex. Rumour is that BA have introduced a "retro interior" across the enitre fleet in economy, consisting of worn seats, 340p IFE, unpalatable food and Cabin crew who look upon anyone in Y,B,H or below with disdain. In order to truly add to the experince, luggage is mishandled and expensi

Here's their latest offering, an A319 in BEA Colour scheme...

Brexit uncertainty is fuelling this. As time goes on and no extension is offered, it might get worse. Thanks for the update Jacko.

Yep a majority of Airlines are routing south of Indian and Pakistan, some now using Dubai as a refuel stop as it has added time to the journey. Mrs Butch is heading out to the RP with Cathay next week, she got a 40 kg allowance in business, so always worth checking. 20kg is a bit mean to be honest, even though I usually come in at 17 kg on my outwards trips in econ, it's always nice to have a few kg spare in case you want to take something extra. This might be a reaction for the EU-Thailand flights which are currently being re routed around India as it adds time and mileage to the jo

Yep, I guess it is hit and miss and probably time of day etc. Like many I won't spend a red cent in any bar connected with him.

Baht buses are still 10 baht. Soi Bukhao and LK Metro has expanded exponentially bar - wise. In fact, I tend to stay around that area now as Beach Rd / Second road hotels have lost their lustre, and you can cut through to Sois 7,8 and Central festival from Bukhao in an easy 5 min walk. Sois Chaiyapoon and Lengkhi are also popular for massage parlours and cheap guest houses / restaurants. Soi Honey is also a good massage venue. As mentioned elsewhere, everywhere you walk there is some cunt with a camera, either vlogging on youtube or just taking photo's. WS is terrible for it, LKM getting

Good review Bazle, Kev in thailand recently visited it as well and did a video. 59 baht for bottled beer (according to the vid) isn't too shabby either. I'm partial to a Madras or Chicken Ceylon, but £7 for a decent Indian with a soft drink is not bad at all. They seem to have a good selection of draft, plus some craft beers. I'll definitely give it a visit in the future.

I noticed on FR24 that there's a BR067D (D designates a delayed follow on day flight for EVA planes), seems like EVA will have 2 planes in LHR today, I expect one will take the pax who didn't travel yesterday out this afternoon sometime.

Bloody hell I missed this. That's most concerning, I feel bad for anyone stranded .

Gentleman and a Scholar Bazle, cheer for that mate.

Hi Bazle Mate it was 12/10/2015, I just checked the "properties" on the original. so the "Sale building" is now "Wall of Death" as well ?

Last few for now

Soi 8 in better days The destruction of the bars on Soi 2 - Just sat and reflected on the good times many guys must have had there, how many girls worked there and the drinks drunk and bells rung!. Soi 1 looking like a wasteland back in 2013 I think. several disused buildings including a Thai karaoke joint, back then Soi 1 was considered a bit out of the way... I always liked the design of this small building, never knew what it was or who owned it, there was always some work going on there though. Over to bukhao, "The bo

Some more, sorry for multiple posts. A few randoms... Pink Lady ,now gone I think... Soi Honey in 2015

Ok chaps. here's some from the HDD I've had floating around. Not any particular year but a few venues have gone since I took them. They may be alreayd posted elsewhere on the forum in an age old TR, so apoligies if you've already seen them. Infamous Soi 6 Moving down to a quiet Beach Rd Pre improvement days lol. Gullivers Soi 1 end. Again, view from Soi 1 down to BR

Couldn't get into "the Punisher", gave up after S01E05. After I start "Black Earth Rising" as suggested by BM Blackwell (and I'm looking forward to it actually) I'll give "The good Dr" a go. I agree with Forrest Gump, it's an enjoyable family movie and Tom Hanks is great as Tom Hanks playing Tom Hanks. I will always watch it if I'm channel hopping and it's on, regardless of how far through it is. Not seen Green Book, might give that a look this weekend if I get an afternoon free.

Bloody hell when was that early LKM photo taken?. I notice there's not Devils Den (Or Hell Club as it was known in the early days) open, and that's got to have been at least 12 / 13 years ago (unless the old grey matter is getting mor grey). If it's ok with forcebwithyou I'll see if I've got some random pics of Pattaya from a few years ago and chuck them up here.

BA are painting some of their 747's in retro livery to celebrate 100 years. This one rolled out yesterday. Looks pretty good and nice touch of nostalgia there. Looking forward to the BEA one.

Good points KM, I'm thinking EVA are sensitive to bad PR, and they pride themselves on being one of the best Airlines out there, probably aspiring to Cathay's status. I'd also let him sit in his own shit for the duration. This had happened with the same passenger apparently but on another EVA flight where the CC refused, they were all reprimanded and disciplined, which is absolutely shocking behaviour from EVA Managment.

Kudos to the EVA CC on board, but their managment team need their arses kicked. Given their alledged disciplining of CC who refused to wipe clean the same pax on another flight, it is poor managment and unprofessional at best. The CC in question is taking legal action, and rightfully so. As Fiend says, no match on the Passport is no entry on the plane, I think that's a pretty unambiguous rule and adhered to strictly, so maybe some questions need to be asked if indeed he did abuse the system like this. Not sure if the Senior CC or even the Captain can do anything in this situation, ap

Ahh good stuff Jacko, thanks. Didn't know JP had gone...bloody hell what's Hammer going to do after work now?. I'll knock it off the list.

Here's my map. Thanks and credit to you forcebwithu for the instructions. Cheers mate, owe you a beer or two next time i'm in town.

Thanks forcebwithyou, I'll give it a go and see how I get on, they are really clear and very well laid out instructions, thanks for taking the time to post. It might take me a couple of attempts, but I'll tackle it by opening 2 windows and going between the two stage by stage.

That's spot on Forcebwithu!, is it easy to do that or to edit in complexes and locations?.

Fair point, the problem I have is that there are so many beer bar complexes these days it's easy to get confused. I might even add sunee plaza for GE if I can find it...
