I switched to Qatar a couple of years ago and after this latest move by Emirates I doubt I'll ever go back to Emirates

Me and MrsFiend do the same, we get sufficient top-ups to extend our sim card validity until our next trip, but not enough credit so that it is used up automatically renewing the package the following month. I've had the same AIS number for about 5 years now.

I was unable to access the site on my desktop PC yesterday, but strangely did manage to access on my mobile when I tried it on that... trying again on my PC later on resulted in no access again....

And it helps to be clean shaven as well when you wear a mask for respiratory protection. With having to wear respiratory protection at work I have to pass a test every so often and they refuse to do the test if you have stubble as it affects the seal.

It'll keep the drain cleaners busy after they've finished on Soi Buakhao!!!

Congrats on getting hitched Ron!!! Back in Sin City in May so I'll buy you and your good wife a celebratory drink then... When I got married, we got the "freedom to marry" affirmation from the embassy and then travelled upcountry to do the Amphur signing the next day.... The day after getting married we were back down in Bangkok sorting out a spouse visa application.... March 2019 will be the 10th anniversary of getting the ball and chain round my ankle!!!

Just booked flights for 16th May until returning 4th June next year and QR27/QR28 have both come up as being A359 on the Qatar website...... for the last weeks when I have been checking flights/prices they were showing as being 788 Nightmareliners.... QR21/QR22 showing A359 and QR23/QR24 showing 788 on the same dates.... Fingers crossed the amend the aircraft type allocations again before I fly.... Also managed to get the A340-600 to and from Bangkok...... wonder if I'll get to fly on A7-AGC which is the only QR A340-600 I haven't flown on!!!

I can always guarantee that on my way to the airport that I'll suddenly realise I've left something at home that I meant to take with me.... luckily I've always remembered my passport!!!!

Well done Frosty!!!!

Would it be possible to disable the "Politics and Religion" new posts notification again???

Wasn't expecting the forum to be back up and running so quickly. Well done Frosty!!!

Good luck with the upgrade Frosty......

Yep, best of luck with the upgrade.... Fingers crossed it's a success!!!

Thanks for clearing that up...

Why is your IP address showing that your posting fro Puerto Rico???

That's what BM Navidnavid could do with.....

Really? You posted this from Australia....

I did once walk on the beach about 13 years ago, on my second visit to Pattaya.....the first and only time I have.... I don't visit Pattaya for the beach, I visit for the fun and the booze!!!

What??? There's a beach at Pattaya!!! It could be said I learn something new every day!!!

The information is out there, you just need to look..... MAN-BKK is the number one unserved route route in Europe and approx 75% of that traffic is routed through DXB, DOH and AUH

Apparently a delegation from Thai Airways visited MAN in June and left with a very positive view of the airport, so it's looking more likely this will happen....

The return flight, SQ21 is doing that route right now, as I am typing this it's currently approaching the North Russian coast.... I believe the first A359-900ULR took a similar route on it's delivery flight, heading north from Toulouse instead of heading east.

Essentially the longer range versions are been given a few tweaks and adjustments to the specs to allow them to fly longer distances... With the A350-900ULR one of the tweaks was allowing the fuel tanks to be filled with 24000 litres more fuel and also increased the Max Take Off Weight to allow the extra fuel..... They didn't need to increase the size of the tank because the required extra volume was already built in to the design. Another way of extending the range is lowering the load an aircraft carries, this allows more fuel to be carried. On the Singapore ULRs they are configured so that no cargo can loaded into the front load compartment area.

Sounds like you want to play with fireworks if you're taking a short time back to a room your staying in with your latest girl.... You could always find a short time place to have some extra-curricular fun in...

It's turning into quite a fight between QR and EK at Manchester....
